On the mat
Get ready for the next trend in fitnessacupressure mats. The acumat:eco ( www.stylewellness.com; $29.99) has been used for yoga and meditation for quite some time. The green (as related to the environment, not the color) mat consists of a foam mattress, an organic-cotton mattress sheet with plastic spikes, a carrying case and an instruction book. Better yet, prices are 20-percent off for orders before Dec. 12.
Count on it
Count Me Healthy ( www.countmehealthyjewelry.com; $80-$88) aims to combine beauty with functionality. These so-called "health journals for your wrist" can be worn solo or stacked, and with most clothing. With the sterling silver beads, you can assign a daily goal, such as drinking 12 glasses of water; each time, you drink a glass you can slide a bead from one side to the other.
Dental-health facility
You can be fashionable and helpful at the same time by giving someone a stylish REACH toothbrush ( http://www.drugstore.com' $3.49-$5.99) as a stocking stuffer. (No, really...) The limited-edition series curated by interior designers Tom Delavan, Celerie Kemble and out celebrity stylist Brad Goreski (from The Rachel Zoe Project) offers supplements cleaning with style.
Lube and lascivious
Astroglide ( www.astroglide.com ) and K-Y Jelly ( www.kyshopdirect.com ) have been, uh, on the scene for yearsand both have come out with new products. Astroglide Natural is a "green" item that is described as "all natural and botanical." K-Y has unveiled K-Y® YOURS+MINE® Kissable Sensations™ for the Body, which "encourages couples to explore each other." Nothing more needs to be said (or written). |
