    Introducing ÜR Watür: A Sexy, Sustainable Solution To Combat Plastic Pollution

    ÜR Watür, a new brand officially launching in a few weeks that is part of the solution. It’s combating plastic pollution one reusable bottle at a time. And looking great with a sexy, modern bottle designed to be refilled.
    Did you know that plastic constitutes 90% of all the trash floating on the ocean’s surface? That’s approximately 46,000 pieces of plastic per square mile. The team cares about the ocean, the planet, and ÜR health which is why they are trying to change the world while creating an on-trend bottle to fuel your body.
    ÜR Watür offers reusable, eco-friendly water bottles filled with 9.5pH alkaline water. Fans of alkaline water say they enjoy the many health benefits, including the neutralizing of acid in their bloodstreams, reducing high blood pressure, weight loss, and anti-aging properties that have made it a well-warranted addition to their daily lives.
    As far as the reusable bottles go, the innovative brand stands apart by the metal it uses, extruded aluminum, which is a thicker gauge than other brands on the market so it can be used infinitely. Switching to metal also eliminates the risk of cancer-causing microplastics found in plastic bottles due to leaching, with health issues ranging from infertility to certain types of cancers and beyond. Think of ÜR Watür as a lifeguard for our planet. They make it simple to choose a greener, cleaner alternative.
    Consumers will be able to purchase an individual bottle or a 4-pack soon in stores and online, helping to change the landscape of plastic water bottle consumption.
    About ÜR Watür:
    ÜR Watür is a sustainable solution to eliminate single-use plastic water bottles. The brand is on a mission to spread awareness of the cancer-causing hazards of microplastics in the environment while looking great doing it! The brand makes sustainability sexy. It gives consumers an alternative with a modern designed product that is infinitely recyclable and safer for the planet. Follow them on Instagram @ur_watur_inc.

    STOGO – Stay safe without destroying the planet

    Disposable gloves and surgical masks are not recyclable! Throwing PPE into recycle bins puts waste management employees’ health at risk because they have to sort through these potentially contaminated items. Disposable gloves are discarded on the street break down into microplastics, negatively impacting our sewers, oceans, and animals. ⁠Please help keep our streets clean and our essential workers safe. One pair of STOGO gloves is cheaper than one box of disposable gloves. Save money (and the planet) by making the switch.

    Germs can live on hands up to 3 hours! STOGO gloves use ViralOff® Polygiene Technology in this All-Day Glove to reduce 99% of germs and bacteria within 2 hours. It has been tested against Influenza A, Bird Flu, Norovirus, and Coronavirus (SARS).⁠

    STOGO All-Day Glove

    Made from GRS-certified recycled polyester, these sustainable gloves offer full-hand protection from high-touch surfaces at the gym, grocery store, and public transportation (bus, taxi, ride-share, airplane).

    ViralOff® reduces 99% of germs and bacteria and keeps the gloves odor-free. The conductive fingertips on thumb and index finger allow you to access mobile devices, ATMs, and self-checkout screens without compromising protection.

    Fabric is lightweight and moisture-wicking, making it comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Gloves are sensitive skin and eczema friendly and offer protection for those who cannot use hand sanitizer.

    As travel opens up post-pandemic, these antimicrobial gloves offer full protection from high-touch surfaces while on the go and double as everyday winter gloves. STOGO gloves are touchtone friendly for smartphone-use, and are great for the environment as they are made from GRS-certified recycled polyester. With a 24-month lifespan, one STOGO glove replaces 460 disposable gloves.

    Plastic production was already on the rise prior to the pandemic, but now it’s skyrocketing because of PPE waste.⁠ Making a difference doesn’t have to be overwhelming- even the smallest actions can help! One less disposable glove in the ocean is one step towards reducing plastic pollution. Shop STOGO gloves at https://mystogo.com/products/stogo-all-day-glove.

An exhilarating bouquet of ripe cherry mingles with dried red roses and spice notes. The palate shows juicy length which develops with a toasted oak finish. Lay back in your hammock and shoot the breeze and you’ll be saying “tutto bene” like a local.

    Why is CBD lip balm the bomb? Here are good reasons why you need some in your life

    Did you know that lips do not sweat? That’s because lips do not possess sweat glands. Sweat glands help moisturize the skin. Without them, lips dry out faster than any other part of the body. Time to balm up the right way with nourishing vitamins and minerals that protect against free radicals and dryness.

    Why is CBD lip balm the bomb? Here are 3 good reasons why you need some in your life.

    1. It nourishes on the cellular level
    2. Protects your skin from environmental pollutants and free radicals
    3. It’s extremely nourishing and has beneficial properties to soothe chapped, dry, flaky lips.

    Earthy hemp oil with a touch of either lavender, orange, peppermint or rosemary extract provides the ultimate moisturizing lip balm qualities without the added flavor. CBDMe offers 30 mg of broad spectrum, sustainably grown CBD, paired with certified organic hemp oil, Fair Trade Certified™ cocoa butter and coconut oil for an all-around lip experience.

    Benefits of CBD ME:

    • Hemp-derived CBD – the hemp-derived, broad-spectrum CBD extract is sustainably grown through regenerative agriculture practices and CO2 extracted in Oregon by Klersun.

    • Organic Hemp Seed Oil – The finest, cold-pressed Cannabis Sativa seed oil delivers a natural balance of essential fatty acids

    • Ultra soothing

    • Keeps moisture in

    • Nutrient-rich to protect lips

    Editorial Connection:

    • National CBD Day products
    • CBD lip balm

    Protect our planet with your choices — even something like grabbing a bottle can make an impact!

    There is a popular saying among winemakers that goes: ‘great wine starts in the vineyard.’ This is because the world of wine is centered around the concept of terroir. Terroir is how a particular region’s climate, soils, and terrain affect the taste of wine. No two winemaking regions are the same. There can be a myriad of differences between two vineyards that are right next to each other!

    Terroir also takes into consideration the impact of the human hand. Winemakers influence the wine in different ways. This includes vine training, irrigation practices, canopy management, and pest control. The role of the winemaker is similar to a chef when provided with ingredients: the result depends on the skill. Kind of Wild wines believes the secret to achieving the optimal result is to respect Mother Nature’s gifts and not mess with them unnecessarily. For us, this all starts at the source: the soil.

    Better Fruit for Better Wine

    Kind of Wild founders Adam and Jordan Sager reach for organic produce and other natural foods when providing for their families. It was a natural transition to bring their passion for all things organic into the winemaking philosophy. This is why Kind of Wild has committed to exclusively using organically grown grapes to produce our high-quality wines. Kind of Wild donate a minimum of 1% of their sales to organizations such as Kiss The Ground + Organic Farming Research Foundation that support the expansion of organic and regenerative farming.

    Globally Crafted Wines For Your Lifestyle

    It’s time to enjoy wines that align with your values and can join you on your health journey! Kind of Wild has spent years crafting wines that are not only made from organic grapes and grown using sustainable farming practices, but are also the most outstanding wines the earth has to offerKind of Wild is a collection of global wine discoveries devoted to rewilding the planet. They partner with top growers around the world who farm healthy soils to craft premium wines that are kindly produced and certified organic.
