    Clean Up The Ocean with Nixon’s Sustainable Watches Made from #tide Ocean Plastics

    Nixon’s Light-Wave is the first solar-powered watch made from #tide ocean plastics. Powered by the sun, its unique construction keeps harmful plastics out of the world’s oceans. This dovetails with the introduction of digital non-solar powered surf and tide watches, and a full line of bags also made from ocean plastics.

    Nixon’s heritage in surfing and all things ocean has led them to a commitment to minimize our ecological footprint and leave the ocean in a better state than we found it. Nixon is collaborating with #tide to introduce their proprietary recycled ocean plastics in select watch models. Nixon’s goal is to get waste out of the ocean, and more people into it.

    #tide’s unique process allows Nixon to repurpose all kinds of ocean plastics into safe, durable materials for their watches. Ocean plastics are shredded, cleaned, and combined with a proprietary formula to restore the original integrity of the plastic. Nixon then process the material at a Swiss lab to achieve structural integrity for our watch cases. There are 550 beaches available to program as your home beach or your surf travel destination. Click HERE for the complete beach list.

    Staple Watch

    Being environmentally conscious in material choices is a high priority for Nixon. They have done extensive research to find the right partners to help them make quality watch bands out of alternative materials. This sustainable watch band offering comprises three different materials: pineapple leather, #TIDE recycled plastics, and standard recycled plastics. Pineapple leather is a relatively new material made from cellulose fibers extracted from pineapple leaves, PLA, and resin. This PETA-approved, vegan material can do anything natural leather can do, including making beautiful eco-friendly watch straps.

    The second is their #TIDE recycled plastic nylon. For this watch band material, they exclusively use plastic waste destined to wind up in the ocean. By partnering with local seaside recycling programs, Nixon can get the material needed to make stylish and durable recycled watch bands while keeping our ocean playground cleaner. Finally, Nixon uses standard RPET (recycled plastic) for other nylon watch straps. While the raw, recycled material comes from a broader range of sources, it still reduces their watch bands’ environmental impact. These sustainability efforts don’t stop here, and with your support, Nixon can continue to look for innovative ways to take care of our planet while still making great products.

    pip & grow Launches All-New “Mindful Method for Sleep” Program for Babies

    Two Data-Driven Courses Emphasize Mindfulness to Lower Stress and Improve Sleep for the Whole Family

    Known by parents around the world for its safe, simple, and sustainable baby boxes, pip & grow today announced the next phase of its mission to provide families with safe, restful sleep with the release of its Mindful Method for Sleep program. Created by infant sleep, infant health, and health communication experts, pip & grow’s two data-driven courses are backed by science and use mindfulness to calm parents and caregivers, which in turn, reduces baby’s stress and improves sleep.

    “Babies are wired to wake up every couple of hours when they’re born, but there are things that parents can do to encourage baby to sleep in longer stretches,” said Amber Kroeker, MPH, Infant Safety Expert, and Co-Founder, pip & grow. “One of the most important things for parents is to remain calm and be mindful that baby can sense your anxiety and stress. As tough as it is, especially when you’re exhausted, parents must create a consistent, calm environment for baby if they hope to improve sleep for the whole family.”

    Hosted by Liz Harden, MPH, pip & grow’s Mindful Method for Sleep program consists of two courses, Stellar Sleep 101 and Stellar Sleep 102. The first course sets your infant up for sleep success, providing valuable data-driven, educational insights for parents and caregivers. The second course provides parents with two options to mindfully teach your child to sleep independently based on yours and your baby’s unique needs.

    “We are thrilled to introduce pip & grow fans and tired parents alike to our newest offering, the Mindful Method for Sleep,” said Kate Compton Barr, Co-Founder and CEO, pip & grow. “As parents ourselves, we know how challenging it can be to make any meaningful changes when you’re sleep-deprived and questioning your abilities as a parent. We created this course to provide parents with simple solutions that can help calm their anxieties, pay attention to their own nervous systems, and create those pro-sleep vibes in their babies.”

    The Mindful Method for Sleep retails for $87 per course or $150 for the duo and is available direct-to-consumer through the company’s website at www.pipandgrow.com/sleep-courses. Providers, such as doulas, lactation consultants, nannies, etc., community organizations, including hospitals and non-profits, and corporations/HR departments can also purchase the courses for customers, patients, and employees by emailing pip & grow directly at hello@pipandgrow.com.

    About pip & grow:

    pip & grow launched in September 2016 with its Smitten Baby Box, a sustainable, easy-to-use option for safe sleep. The Smitten Baby Box is trusted by parents nationwide, and the company has experienced unparalleled success working with community organizations, including hospitals and non-profits, to provide their baby boxes to families in need.
