    Best Home Office Lounge Pant from Heat Holders

    Summer is nice to be outside if it’s not too hot. But for the most of the time, we still need to be inside to work, to avoid the too hot weather. Do you ever experience some super freezing cold air conditioner situations? I believe anyone know that feeling, especially in some offices. For me, both my husband and I work at home, we live in totally different weather. He loves to turn the air conditioner on to let the room cooling down, which I feel, well, it is cold for me. Thankfully, I have my very comfortable loungewear pant from Heat Holders to keep my leg warm and comfortable.

    Heat Holders, who recently released their new line of loungewear. Heat Holders started off by creating the world’s warmest socks but over time the demand for the product pushed them to expand their line. Their loungewear is made with the softest fabric and is ideal for sleeping in or just lounging around, Heat Holders loungewear is versatile clothing that makes the perfect addition for ultimate relaxation just in time for summer. 
    Their loungewear is available for both men’s and women’s options. For women, they offer a t-shirt dress in grey and a wide-leg sweatpant which comes in both black and grey. For men, they offer a v-neck t-shirt, slim-leg joggers, and a button-down sleep shirt that keeps you covered at home or can even be worn out on casual errands. All men’s products come in both black and grey offering a variety of options. The light, stretchy, breathable soft fabric ensures loungewear that will complement your laid-back summer nights. 
    Heat Holders® were developed by a talented product development team in house. The challenge was to make a sock that would be the warmest sock ever and comfortable and practical to wear in daily life. It wasn’t easy, but the team came up with Heat Holders® in 2008. TOG means Thermal Overall Grade. It is a scientific test that measures the thermal (heat retaining) capacity of fabric. Heat Holders® original thermal socks, when tested using this standard, rate TOG 2.34*. This is 7x warmer than cotton socks and almost 3x warmer than ordinary thermal socks! We test socks from most major brands that we can get our hands on and it is safe to say that Heat Holders® thermal socks are almost 40% warmer than the warmest thermal sock we have ever tested, which was a heavy sock with 80% plus wool!
    The phenomenal success of our Heat Holders® socks has led to the development of additional Heat Holders® products. Thermal Underwear, available in various colors and sizes, will keep you warm on those cold winter days. For both men and women, Heat Holders loungewear are perfect for the spring and summer months with their soft and breathable fabric.

    Meet the Cooling Cuff – The perfect solution to excessive body heat

    Humans are warm blooded. When you are hot, your blood gets warmer and heats up your skin. You sweat to cool down the skin and keep body temperature normal. The Cooling Cuff removes heat from the skin much faster than sweating. The wrist is the optimal place to cool the body due to specialized skin that releases a disproportionate amount of heat.

    The Cooling Cuff is a silicone band with a medical-grade cooling pack that rapidly lowers your body’s temperature. You will save energy during exercise, quickly cool down, and stop sweating. It even provides instant relief for heat induced discomfort or excessive sweating.

    Introducing the Cooling Cuff.

    Cooling Cuffs quickly cool you down so you are more comfortable and stop sweating.

    The Cooling Cuff is the solution to heat intolerance and to feel more comfortable in the heat.

    Cooling Cuffs are effective in:

    • Helping heat intolerance, which is discomfort due to heat.
    • Rapidly cooling you down after a workout so that you quickly stop sweating.
    • Maintain lower body temperatures during exercise.
    • Helping you manage hot flashes and discomforts due to high body temperature.

     

    How the Cooling Cuff cools you down.

    The Cooling Cuff works because it removes heat from your blood through the skin on your wrist. Humans are warm blooded. When you are hot, blood gets warmer and heats up your skin. We sweat to cool down the skin and keep body temperature normal. Cooling Cuffs accelerate the process by cooling the skin much faster than sweat. The wrist is the optimal place to cool the body because of specialized skin that releases a disproportionate amount of heat.

    Cooling Cuff Pack – Each Cooling Cuff pack contains:

    • Two bands, one for each wrist
    • Four cooling packs to replace as needed

    Eco-Friendly Birthday Gift for Ryan’s Big 40th Birthday from Nixon, a Socal Local Brand

    It has been two and half years since Ryan and I officially became Californian. One of our biggest reasons to move in San Diego is that we love ocean, we want to live somewhere close enough to enjoy the beautiful blue world more often. Ryan loves swimming, fishing, sea kayaking and sometimes surfing as well. And me, I grew up in a seaside city, I love ocean, it makes me feel like hometown. This May is Ryan’s 40th Birthday, it’s a big thing! We might plan a travel if the pandemic goes better and we feel safe enough to travel. But a nice birthday gift is still so important. I want to find something local, something sustainable, something he will love for sure.

    Here comes to Nixon’s Light-Wave watch, which 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.

    Let’s take care of the ocean as much as it takes care of us—one right choice at a time.

    Innovation doesn’t stop with features or design. Nixon’s sustainable watches push the envelope with their materials, too. Eco-friendly watches use alternative sources for the raw materials that make up the case, band, movement, or all of the above. For example, as part of the H2O Yeah! program, Nixon’s surf watches use REPREVE® Our Ocean™ recycled plastics. This material takes plastic that would otherwise wind up in the ocean and repurposes it into high-performance watch cases and bands. But they don’t stop there. Whenever possible, they use recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET), which generally comes from discarded, single-use plastic bottles. As a significant source of pollution, Nixon is proud to do their part to remove this plastic from landfills or waterways and give it new life in their watch line. The commitment to sustainable watches, clothing, and accessories is something they’re insanely proud of. Rest assured, Nixon is always looking for new ways to be more friendly to the environment. Nixon’s goal is to get waste out of the ocean and more people into it.

    Staple Surf & Tide Watch

    Set it and forget it. I chose The Staple for Ryan, who always has too many things to take care of. A nice timekeeper is perfect for him. Featuring an ultra-slim profile and a cushy new rubber-blend band, the Staple ticks the boxes of style, function and comfort. Customizable display layout allows you to display any two functions simultaneously, personalizing your piece to your needs at the touch of a button.

    Packed with endless features, the Staple is Nixon’s ultimate “one-and-done,” time piece. With custom display layouts allowing you to display any two functions simultaneously, all you have to do is pick what’s most important to you. Time of day, chronograph, timer, alarm and date (with an auto calendar through 2099) all leave you with endless options to tee up your Staple exactly to your liking. Left with a tough decision? Squeeze the top buttons and let the new coin flip feature decide for you.

    Nixon The Staple is the new “one-and-done” is done with one-use plastics. Now made with #tide recycled ocean plastics, the Staple looks as stylish as ever — but with an eco-friendly mission. Its razor-thin profile, customizable display, and plush rubber-blend band make it easy to wear, while the chic and modern design makes it easy on the eyes. Thanks to the rad new coin flip feature, the Staple makes important decisions simple. Whether it’s what’s for dinner or your next adventure, the Staple knows which road to take.

    Sustainable materials and low-profile performance drive the Staple’s design cues. A pair of perfectly broken-in skate shoes is an excellent analog to this watch’s all-day comfort and reliability.

    • Custom Display

    Customizable display layout allows you to view any two functions simultaneously. Functions include: Time of day, day/date with auto calendar through 2099, chronograph with 1/100 second resolution, timer, and alarm.

    Recycled Ocean Plastics

    Every product makes a difference in Nixon H20Yeah! Bags Collection. Constructed with 600D polyester exterior and 70D polyester interior made from REPREVE® Our Ocean™ and REPREVE® recycled plastics.

    Being environmentally conscious in material choices is a high priority for Nixon. Nixon has done extensive research to find the right partners to help them make quality watch bands out of alternative materials. Nixon’s 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 Nixon’s #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. Nixon’s sustainability efforts don’t stop here, and with your support, they can continue to look for innovative ways to take care of our planet while still making great products.

    Nixon’s Releases World’s First Line Of Technical Watches Using #tide Upcycled Ocean Plastics

    Coincides With Launch Of Sustainable Replacement Watch Bands,
    And 100% Recycled And Curbside Recyclable Packaging

    Nixon, in step with its commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint of its watches, bags, and other accessories, has revamped its most popular Tide and technical watches, creating the first digital watch collection to incorporate the #tide brand of ocean plastic. Based in Basel, Switzerland, #tide ocean material® is one of the leaders in upcycling ocean waste and transforming it into a premium award-winning raw material for new products. Each of the new Nixon #tide watches takes two ocean-bound plastic bottles out of circulation, creating a sustainable timepiece built to last.

    In creating its new #tide ocean plastic collection, Nixon has introduced one new tide watch, the High Tide, and upgraded the materials in some of its best-selling technical watches to include #tide in both existing and new colorways. The current Nixon #tide line includes:

    –     High Tide ($220): Nixon’s first new watch to be released using #tide ocean plastics. A high-definition tide watch with a uniquely customizable display built for long days in the water.

    –     Staple ($115): A watch that can make those tough decisions for you. Featuring a razor-thin profile and customizable display, the Staple’s digital coin flip feature

    –     Base Tide Pro ($150): Clear, informative, and comfortable. Nixon stripped away anything that wouldn’t be helpful or functional in the water when creating this ocean-goer favorite.

    –     Rival ($125): A tide watch that combines environmental consciousness with everyday wearability. The high contrast display and ultra-soft silicone band make it stylish enough for daily wear.

    –     Siren ($115): The beach meets the street in this tide watch that blends style and substance. The perfect blend of comfort, function, and environmentally friendly style.

     #tide Collaboration Is More Than An Environmental One-Off For Nixon

    Nixon has always lived in the rare space where style meets function, creating custom-built accessories that reflect its unique take on the world. Nixon’s latest efforts to create a more sustainable line of premium accessories goes well beyond its new #tide collection of watches. Late last year, Nixon revamped its bag line to be the first in the U.S. made from  REPREVE® Our Ocean™ ocean plastic fabric. Earlier this year Nixon debuted an array of replacement sustainable watch bands,  along with 100% recycled and curbside recyclable packaging throughout the packaging of its entire collection of watches.

    eGlass Shatters Distance Learning Barrier

    Illuminated Glass Board with a Built-In Camera
    Finally Restores Eye Contact to Learners

    Teachers across America are struggling to keep students engaged both online and in the classroom. Studies have shown that the loss of nonverbal cues and eye contact has a catastrophic impact on retention of information.

    The solution is eGlass, an illuminated transparent writing surface with a built-in camera that allows instructors to write on the screen while looking directly at the students, increasing eye engagement. It also connects to their laptop, projector or monitor and integrates with Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, etc. making it a clean, easy and engaging setup.

    “Engagement goes through the roof as soon as students are introduced to eGlass,” said Marcia Kish, a blended learning specialist and coach. “When we get them engaged, we get better test scores and kids want to come to class. This is truly a game changer.”

    eGlass accepts orders from the general public, it previously manufactured a limited run of 2,000 units after the device was unveiled in January – which sold out almost immediately. eGlass is available for orders from last month with special pricing for educators which brings the cost of the 35″ model below $1,999 for school districts. eGlass is great for sales too and will change the way business professionals use Zoom!

    In addition, feedback from both educators and learners who have already tried out eGlass has been unanimously positive. For example:

    • “As soon as I showed my kids eGlass, they all turned their cameras on. The kids were excited and engaged through the power of the eGlass system. When my principal saw it, he said every teacher needs to have this!” – Andrea Jahnke, art teacher from West Geauga High School in Chesterland, OH.
    • “eGlass is SO COOL. I totally blew my kids’ minds today!” – Delia Bush, 5th Grade teacher, Kenowa Hills Online Learning Academy, Grand Rapids, MI
    • “The new eGlass lightboard is amazing! Game changer for hybrid/remote learning AND Deaf Education” – Natasha Rausch, teacher at The Learning Center for the Deaf in Framingham, MA

    eGlass is available in two sizes – 35” and 50”. MSRP is $2,198 for the 35” and $3,298 for the 50” model. Special pricing for the education sector is available which brings the cost of the 35″ model below $1,999 for school districts.
