Continuing from ‘PART 1’ of our Holiday Beauty Gift Guide series, the second is filled with classic and unique beauty products. One of our favorite items is the bubble bath bar, possibly because it looks so edible. Each one is hand-made by LUSH. Their official site says that each bar is designed to give you a single 1950s’ Hollywood-film-style bubble bath full of equally amazing aromas. Don’t forget to get a couple for yourselves!

Unique Jewelry Stands

0

Splurging on nice jewelry happens most of us. But the one thing we tend to overlook is a great display. Whenever you go to any high-fashion boutique, the first thing you’ll notice is the attention and effort put into their collection of jewelry and small, elegant desktop accessories.

What prevents us from having similarly stylish spaces for the jewelry we own? Having a few unique displays will help get your accessories out of the closet and into your life.

Today, we are sharing a large selection of unique jewelry boxes, stands, and trays that will go well with or without anything adorning them. Some of these are one-of-a-kind pieces, so don’t hesitate if you see something you like.

6 Tech Items to Instantly Improve Your Workout Results

0

Wearable technology is everywhere. From smart watches to heart rate monitors, we have a variety of options. Although most wearables don’t really improve a workout, sometimes they give you useful information. But if you’re like me, feeling my heart pounding in my chest tells me more than my heart rate monitor does.

In this post, we cover some new basics, as well as a few new gadgets that may actually be useful. Whether your goal is to lose weight, have more motivation, or even just to get new stats, the answers are all here:

Adidas BOOST Running Shoes

“Energy returning mid-soles”

Feel yourself bouncing off the ground with these Adidas Boost running shoes. The mid-soles of the Adidas BOOST are made of thousands of energy-absorbing pebbles, providing energy return on every step you hit the ground.  The cushioning in these shoes makes you feel more energy as your foot leaves the pavement, adding a bit of fun to your morning run.

Sony Walkman MP3 Player Headphone

Headphone with Built-in MP3 Player (Wire Free)

“Headphone with a Built-in MP3 Player”

Whether you are about to go for jogging, yoga or hitting the gym, one thing is essential for enhancing the workout motivation – great music. To be honest, any in-ear headphone will work, but these have a built-in MP3 player, which means you can ditch the smart phone. Just add your favorite workout playlist!

Luluemon Reflective Sportswear

“Be seen! Reflective running gear”

Are you a night-time jogger? Luluemon’s reflective clothing will help keep you visible while working out at night. The reflective material works well when other sources of light are nearby, but you should always be careful when running at night!

“Stats to keep you motivated”

The UP24 wristband by Jawbone is more than a fitness tracker. It’s designed to promote a healthy lifestyle by tracking various measurements including your daily movements, sleep patterns, and even meal recommendations (if desired) to deliver insights for a healthier you.

Athos Workout Clothing

“Clothing that tracks your workout movement”

Wearables are everywhere now and we’re only going to see more of them. Well, Athos takes the wearable to a new level. They decided to build workout clothes that track your workout movement and give you a personal analysis of how you can get better results (whether your goal is to lose 5 pounds or just to get toned).

Tera Fitness Mat

“Sensors to improve your posture”

Having a Tera Fitness Mat is just like having a personal trainer, except this mat actually gives you stats! The surface of the mat has sensors that track movement patterns and recognize how your body weight shifts. The fitness app that comes with it guides you during the exercises and teaches you correct postures.

Magic Carpet Yoga Mat

Most of us have heard the stories of the magic carpet ride since we were kids (Thanks, Walt!). Well, a startup decided to try to make one.  Designed to move us all closer to complete serenity and a stronger inner-peace, these yoga mats were created with the intention of helping us achieve more clarity in your daily lives.

These Magic Carpet yoga mats are beautifully designed. Each of them have intricate patterns, designed to help you get further ‘in the zone’. One of my favorites is the Persian carpet (probably because it reminds me of Aladdin… I mean, who wouldn’t want that experience?!) .
