Porsche Design Men’s Cupsole Sneaker 2.0 (http://www.Porsche-Design.us)

The latest generation of the legendary Cupsole Sneaker, the Porsche Design Cupsole 2.0, is not only great-looking but also top-quality. With a clean design and superior craftsmanship, this fab footwear is made of exclusive coated box skin leather with a carbon-coated topline. The rugged leather upper is water-repellent and resistant to wear, dirt or other effects for an exceptionally robust and eye-catching casual shoe. The lightweight rubber sole with an subtly integrated support function picks up on the Dual coloring to round off the modern design. Perfect for the modern man’s aesthetic, this sneaker’s combination of premium-quality materials results in a footwear option offering both timeless style and long-wearing comfort. High-contrast panels in dual leather offer a material that will transport you to the track, while slight texturing and a subtle shimmer give it the look of hot asphalt in the summer. As for materials, the shoe’s upper leather is 75 percent high quality calf leather and the inner material is 100 percent high quality calf leather. The sole is 100 percent caoutchouc—a natural rubber. This footwear exemplifies Porsche Design’s clear design philosophy: to optimize function, reduce the form right down to the essentials and overcome the familiar to continually discover new and exceptional solutions. It’s the vision that inspired founder Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche to create the legendary Porsche 911 and now the same principles that have driven Porsche Design since 1972.

Joie de Viv Lab Grown Diamond Jewelry (http://www.JoieDeViv.com)

Joie de Viv is a Miami-based, woman-owned company that designs delicate, yet modern, jewelry that’s feminine, fierce. The line notably features ethical, lab grown IGI-certified diamonds and recycled 18 Karat gold. Collections are also named for, and inspired by, real women who have been important in the life and career of designer/owner Vivian Weyll. There’s just nothing like a timeless pair of diamond studs, and Joie de Viv’s Gabriela Diamond Stud Earrings are a remarkable option. These classic, 18 Karat round diamond earrings sit elegantly in a four-prong setting with comfortable push back posts. Simple and stunning, they are perfect for every day wear and can be effortlessly dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Wear them alone, or pair them with other beautiful treasures. Another of my personal favorite Joie de Viv pieces is the Olivia Bridged Diamond Ring. Twin bands of radiant gold encircle your finger, which are punctuated by a liner setting boasting seven ethical IGI Certified VS+ clarity diamonds. Revealing gorgeous geometry at every angle, this is a modern classic piece and a perfect complement to addition to any jewelry collection. The company’s ethically grown diamonds are 100 percent traceable and its use of reclaimed metals helps decrease the global demand for newly-mined gold. The Joie de Viv lab-created diamonds are premium quality (D-H color / VS+ clarity) and consciously sourced from suppliers who follow socially responsible, conflict-free practices. The company’s 18 Karat gold is famous for its rich hue and beautiful luster that pairs elegantly with its diamonds plus a wide variety of precious stones. Adding a little extra je ne sais quoi, each piece comes beautifully ensconced in the company’s signature Joie de Viv’s uniquely illuminated box, with an IGI certificate included.

Intellibed’s Sleep Genius Smart Base & Gel Matrix Mattress (http://www.Intellibed.com)

Get a better night’s sleep with a revolutionary Gel Matrix mattress from Intellibed—an established sleep and wellness company dedicated to helping consumers get quality sleep through innovative solutions.

REM Ritual CBD Sleep Supplement (http://www.Baseline-Wellness.com)

There’s sleep and then there’s sleep and perhaps nothing is more important to our health and wellness. REM Ritual capsules from Baseline Wellness are a nightly dietary supplement product created to support the body’s natural sleep cycle, using short and long action ingredients for sustained rest. The foundation of this and all the Baseline products is full-spectrum CBD and a unique liposomal delivery system. The company encapsulates hemp extract rich in terpenes, CBD and, in this case, also melatonin into liposomes shown to significantly improve the bioavailability. Further, Baseline Wellness uses a whole plant extraction process that yields all of the synergistic cannabinoids, terpenes and other natural compounds of the original plant. Plus, melatonin has a short half-life, which may be an issue for some who have difficulty staying asleep. And, because it is in a liposome, not only do users get the enhanced absorption, they also get the slow breakdown of the liposomal wall structure and an extended release that takes the half-life up to up to six hours as a result. This effective REM Ritual blend includes 25mg full-spectrum CBD, combined with melatonin, which regulates sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin, when taken with magnesium (which is also included in each capsule), is a highly effective sleep aid for falling and staying asleep. Additionally, magnesium is effective in regulating the body’s neurotransmitters and ultimately calming the nervous system. In addition to both of these regulators, REM Ritual contains jujube extract—otherwise known as the red date—which is used in traditional Chinese medicine to help calm the mind and relax the body.

HALO Face Mask (https://HaloLife.io)

HALO Masks—durable and reusable with replaceable filters—are made from anti-bacterial and hypo-allergenic materials…a design reportedly backed by independent testing by Nelson Laboratories, a leading provider of microbiological and viral testing and analysis. As demonstrated in such independent lab tests, HALO Life’s exclusive Nanofilters are shown to block harmful airborne particulates, capturing a remarkable 98.8 percent of virtually all airborne pathogens and contaminants at the 0.3-micron level and 99.37 percent at 0.1 microns. HALO’s sleek proprietary design provides a uniform seal on any face, while the mask’s ultra-thin filter allows maximum breathability and protection. In testing, HALO Nanofilters proved effective at capturing over 99% of airborne particulates and pathogens down to 0.1 microns. By comparison, the novel coronavirus measures approximately 0.125 microns in diameter. For maximum protection the company recommends weekly replacement of filters for people in direct daily contact with the general public or people with higher-risk conditions. For regular and occasional use, replacing the mask filter every 2-4 weeks should keep it fresh and functioning efficiently, according to the website. In each HALO Mask there are up to 15 miles (24 km) of nanofiber in each woven Nanofilter. The unique structure of this “invisible matrix” physically captures virtually all airborne particles and pathogens—from smoke, dust, pollution and pollen, to bacteria and viruses. Additionally, Halo Masks and nanofiber filters are tested and certified to Nelson Labs standards to 99.7 percent particulate efficiency at 1.0 microns, which exceeds N95 standards.

SneakERASERS Instant Sneaker Cleaner (http://www.Amazon.com)

The SneakERASERS Instant Sneaker Cleaner is a quick, convenient and effective solution to removing scuff marks from white mid-soles on shoes. The “athleisure” trend is in full force and white-soled sneakers are finding their way into a wide range of outfits for every situation and occasion. But they’ve always been impossible to keep clean. SneakERASERS gives you a portable, convenient way to touch-up your kicks, wherever you are. They are pre-moistened, so they are ready to use without the need for a sink. Keep them in your glove compartment, purse, carry-on luggage—wherever you want to keep your favorite pair looking like new. The white side simply removes all the scuffs and dirt, while flipping it over to the ultra-soft shammy side will wipe it clean. The Instant Sneaker Cleaner makes pesky scuff marks and dirt stains instantly disappear from the soles and midsoles of your shoes and sneakers via quick, effective and convenient miracle erasing sponges. Just buff gently for maximum cleaning power as the softer and smoother you swipe, the easier the marks come off. For best results, just avoid rubbing in or adding pressure. Each sponge comes pre-moistened and will only do their job when wet, so each comes individually packaged as such for portable cleaning purposes. Just add water if the sponge begins to dry. Also, the smoother the sole, the longer the sponges last. During use, the white side of the sponge will naturally disintegrate, so use the orange side to quickly swipe away any remnants off your shoe. It’s a great way to leverage unique dual-layer technology—powerful micro-scrubbers and proprietary cleaning formula—that are specially-designed to remove tough marks, scuffs and dirt on any sole.

ISELIN, N.J. (PRWEB)
October 14, 2020

Lightbridge Academy, an early education and child care franchise with more than 50 locations open across the Mid-Atlantic and another 50 under construction or in development, is not only The Solution for Working Parents®, but a leader in innovative curriculum. The newest of these offerings is Lightbridge Academy’s Yoga and Mindfulness enrichment program.

The program, which was rolled out systemwide to all centers in September, offers students yoga and mindfulness practices included as part of their weekly thematic units. Children benefit from each of these practices by learning how to use their breathing to relieve stress and calm their minds and nervous system. Accompanied by music, simple games and at-home activities, the exclusive program also helps children to release negative emotions while gaining independence and coping skills.

“Lightbridge Academy’s Seedlings Early Childhood Education Curriculum sets itself apart by focusing on a holistic approach to child care and early education,” said Lightbridge Academy VP of Education & Training Jennifer Romanoff. “On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our curriculum to make sure we stay true to that philosophy. For example, we rolled out STREAM classes, with a focus on technology and math, and recently, we started discussing implementing a program that focused on another important area — mental health.”

Pre-COVID-19, Lightbridge Academy began working with Bari Koral, a beloved children’s recording artist and internationally recognized kids yogi, to create a curriculum focused on yoga and mindfulness for children. Koral was the host of Yogapalooza, the first national kids yoga TV show and also the original yoga teacher for JetBlue airlines. She has performed numerous times at the White House and has been featured in People Magazine and The New York Times.

“My whole call to action has always been that mindfulness and yoga need to be a part of early education,” said Koral. “When Lightbridge Academy reached out to me, it was clear that they were really ahead of the curve in looking for ways to provide children with the tools they need to self-regulate and calm themselves down. We integrated my songs, mindfulness tracks, and yoga cards into Lightbridge Academy’s specific curriculum to create something really special.”

Romanoff notes that Lightbridge Academy started piloting the Yoga and Mindfulness Program at select locations in early 2020 and immediately received rave reviews from both teachers and students. “These breathing and mindfulness techniques benefit not only children, but also the teachers, as they are able to experience the benefits themselves,” she said. “Instead of being an extracurricular activity, the program is connected to Lightbridge Academy’s thematic-based curriculum units. For instance, the October theme is based on Halloween, so commonly recognized yoga poses will be renamed to the spider pose and the pumpkin pose – and of course, the actual cat pose – and teachers are able to read children a story that ties it all together. In addition, Koral has created an at-home track that supports parents teaching them how they can promote mindfulness at home.”

When COVID-19 hit, many centers had to temporarily close, but Lightbridge Academy stayed in touch with Koral and offered families complimentary Facebook Live videos everyday that included the Yoga and Mindfulness curriculum to help children release endorphins while quarantined at home.

“Once we were ready to reopen, there was so much talk about stress and anxiety for both parents and students,” said Romanoff. “I felt very strongly that this program was something we should prioritize moving forward. In addition, Bari has made the process easy and streamlined with curriculum sheets and a training program to ensure staff are able to properly implement the curriculum. Bari also provided training on how our staff could use mindfulness and yoga as a way to combat stress themselves. In these tense and uncertain times, it is so important to utilize these kinds of techniques to promote well-being.”

Now, the program is being offered at all Lightbridge Academy centers, with curriculum cards made available to franchisees, along with the music and movement content that Koral has created. “The best part of these techniques is that they can be done at any point throughout the day,” said Romanoff. “Teachers can connect different aspects of the program to lunchtime, outdoor activities or anything else.”

Romanoff also notes that these mindfulness and yoga techniques offer children the types of skills they can utilize for the rest of their life, such as the ability to use breathing to calm the nervous system, release tension and focus on positivity. “During such a stressful time, this has been an amazing enhancement to our curriculum, and it is great to offer a way for our franchise owners to add value to the lives of all Lightbridge Academy children, staff and parents,” she said.

About Lightbridge Academy:

Established in 1997, Guy and Julia Falzarano founded the company based on core values and a Circle of Care philosophy that places equal importance on the needs of children, their families, teachers, center owners and the community. Lightbridge Academy provides early education and child care to children ages six weeks through kindergarten, as well as special programming for children up to 10 years old for summer camp and a new school age remote learning program. The company franchised in 2011 to expand their distinctive concept throughout the Mid-Atlantic region; it currently has over 119 child care centers either open, under construction or in development throughout Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia.
