LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
December 29, 2021

BluTiger was created to help bring ease and comfort to working out. In an article by Nouw, reviewers claim that BluTiger has “officially changed the way people work out forever”. The small elliptical machine provides customers with the ability to sit and read or watch TV while also working out. The small piece of pedaled equipment lets people stay fit and healthy without having to go to the gym.

Nouw mentions BluTiger’s incredible ability to change the stagnancy of work from home life by providing an under-the-desk machine. The review makes a point to convey the ease of workout by claiming you can do it while watching television as well. The machine is also reviewed as “low impact” on your knees, making it doable for those with joint conditions.

The machine was created to help people find wellness and health even during the busy seasons. As the holidays continue to ramp up, BluTiger keeps families and customers healthy with the ability to work out from home and the ease of the couch, desk, chair, etc.

This review by Nouw is one of many BluTiger reviews that prove BluTiger is a revolutionary part of people’s everyday lives.

BluTiger helps people by:

• Providing a portable elliptical machine
• The Low-impact elliptical motion
• Ability to workout anywhere
• Help to burn calories and build muscle
• Large, non-slip pedals fit any shoe size
• Built-in handle to carry anywhere

The small device is for every home and person. BluTiger has been praised by customers for its affordability and ease to store anywhere in the house. BluTiger hopes to continue providing wellness and health in the coming year.

BluTiger is super-smooth and whisper-quiet. You control the internal magnetic resistance with the turn of a dial. Workout at any level! Set the light resistance for an easy walking motion. Speed up the pace to mimic jogging. Increase the resistance for some cardio climbing or dial it up even more for intense muscle-building, just like the gym.

“Many women fail to address their own health issues because self-care has become nearly synonymous with self-indulgence” -Angela Arena, natural health educator and founder of Kind Lab

MARBLEHEAD, Mass. (PRWEB)
December 21, 2021

Plant-based radical wellness company Kind Lab announced today they have released a Kind Lab selfcare toolkit for all fatigued and frazzled 45-plus women caretakers in 2022.

Stressed out to the point of insomnia and crumbling under the demands of being a business executive, mother, wife, and caregiver, Angela Arena decided to prioritize her own wellness and delved into the world of plant extracts where she discovered, refined, and made available powerful natural solutions in the form of a Kind Lab selfcare toolkit for a spectrum of health challenges faced by millions of 45-plus women every day.

“From raising a child to caring for an aging parent to helping friends deal with pandemic worries, a caregiver is anyone who sacrifices their time and energy to provide social and physical support for the benefit of a loved one. However, in too many cases, the caregiver fails to care for their primary responsibility – namely, their own health and wellness,” said Arena.

“Many women fail to address their own health issues because self-care has become nearly synonymous with self-indulgence. When women are already struggling to prioritize their own wellness, anything that seems indulgent can carry a stigma of guilt or shame. That stigma holds a lot of women back and causes them to descend to the point where they’re so overwhelmed that they either don’t know where to start or they’ve normalized how they feel. Both of those situations contribute to the phenomenon of women “letting their cups run dry,” Arena said.

KEEPING THE CUP FULL WITH KIND LAB’S SELFCARE TOOLKIT:

“There are many natural plant-based options available to address each woman’s personalized needs,” says Arena. “We’ve assembled a toolkit of 5 wellness resources to help women live their best lives.”

1. Quality sleep

“If someone is feeling anxious or stressed out during the day, the first thing I ask them is ‘how are your nights going?’ Many times, people don’t realize how poorly they’ve been sleeping. If people are struggling with daytime stresses and sadness as well a struggling with sleep, I usually recommend handling the sleep first because many times that will have a ‘halo’ into the day. To improve sleep, you can try several things including mediation, deep breathing, clearing the room of electronic distractions, and taking plant-based sleep supplements.”

2. Regular exercise

“I recommend exercising at least three times a week – even a 15-to-30-minute workout has been shown to greatly improve overall health and well-being. You may feel too tired to exercise, but that’s even a better reason to do it. “Exercise” doesn’t have to mean miles of running or heavy lifting; a 20-minute walk around the block will do it. Getting outside is great because you get the bonus of sunshine.”

3. Dietary changes

“Little changes can add up over time and can really make a big difference to your physical and emotional well-being – but they don’t have to be overwhelming. You can start small. Cut out the extra spoon of sugar in your morning coffee and see if you feel any calmer during the day.”

4. Vitamins & minerals

“Dietary supplements that help lift mood include vitamin-D, vitamin-B complex, and magnesium (magnesium glycinate).”

5. Adaptogens and nootropics

“Adaptogens are non-toxic compounds that help the body adapt to mental & physical stress and restore homeostasis (physiological balance). Nootropics are compounds that improve cognitive function, such as memory, creativity, focus, memory recall, and mood. Examples include:

• 
  Saffron elevates mood.
• Rhodiola supports the body’s ability to react to and recover from stress.
• Eleuthero (Siberian ginseng) boosts energy and mental stamina.
• Hemp extract reduces stress and balances body systems.”

Angela has assembled a Kind Lab selfcare tool kit, which includes formulations that contain the nutritional support women need to navigate life in a happier, kinder, and more compassionate way during those turbulent years.

Blue Water presents a $75,000 check to the Northampton County YMCA.

“Cape Charles is a beautiful area with incredible people, so we are glad we can help the community by funding their local chapter of the YMCA.” – Todd Burbage, Blue Water CEO

OCEAN CITY, Md. (PRWEB)
December 20, 2021

Real estate developer and leading outdoor hospitality specialist Blue Water announced that they have donated $75,000 to the Northampton County YMCA in Cape Charles, Va., as part of a new holiday season initiative to give back to the communities that play host to some of Blue Water’s many properties.

“With tourism and travel now recovering from the pandemic, we thought it was high time to start giving back to the communities that helped us survive during the crisis,” said Todd Burbage, Blue Water’s CEO. “Cape Charles is a beautiful area with incredible people, so we are glad we can help the community by funding their local chapter of the YMCA.”

Built during the height of the pandemic in August 2020, the Northampton County YMCA provides residents with a place to exercise, gather, and participate in recreational activities. The Y is part of the larger YMCA of South Hampton Roads association, which serves southeast Virginia and northeast North Carolina.

The donation will specifically be going toward raising funds to cover the construction and expansion costs for the YMCA, which in turn will lead to the creation of youth programs, support for aging adults, swim safety, and healthy living access.

“This new holiday donation initiative is a unique opportunity to show how much we value the communities where our properties are located,” Burbage said. “As the home of our Sunset Beach Hotel and Cape Charles/Chesapeake Bay KOA Resort, Cape Charles deserves to have a place where people can spend time together and exercise. We’re excited about supporting initiatives and charities like this across the country as we give back this holiday season, and we are hoping that this becomes a yearly tradition.”

More information on Northampton County YMCA can be found here. Learn more about Blue Water at BWDC.com.

About Blue Water:

Founded by Jack and Todd Burbage in 2002, Blue Water specializes in investing, developing, and managing RV resorts, campgrounds, hotels, and attractions. Blue Water’s integrated approach to marketing, revenue management, and operations has quickly established itself as a hospitality industry leader. With two dozen resort-area properties in East Coast states from Maine to Florida, and west to Tennessee, Louisiana and Texas, the Blue Water family is committed to creating elite assets, delivering exceptional guest experiences, and enhancing the communities we serve.

About Northampton County YMCA:

The Northampton County YMCA broke ground August 25, 2020 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia just a short distance from Cape Charles’ main street. This Y will be part of the YMCA of South Hampton Roads, serving southeast Virginia and northeast North Carolina.

Concern of insufficient youth programs, support for aging adults, swim safety, and healthy living access drove local partners, donors, and the Y to collaborate in making these critical programs a reality through a newly constructed YMCA in Northampton County. A capital campaign to fundraise the cost of constructing the Y kicked off with key volunteers rallying for support from more than 40 donors. $4.5 million was raised in eight months – the fastest, widely supported capital campaign in the YMCA of South Hampton Roads’ history. With less than $50,000 remaining in the campaign, the Y is close to being 100% donor-funded.

The new fund aims to create more inclusivity at the annual wellness event by providing financial assistance to a member of an underserved population to join the conference each year

MIAMI (PRWEB)
December 20, 2021

The Global Wellness Summit (GWS), the foremost gathering of international leaders in the multitrillion-dollar global wellness economy, today formally announced “The Susie Ellis Scholarship for Equity in Wellness.” The new fund aims to create more inclusivity at the annual wellness event by providing financial assistance to a member of an underserved population to join the conference each year, ultimately empowering recipients to return to their local communities and become leaders in the wellness industry.

The new endowment was unveiled to delegates at this month’s Global Wellness Summit, which took place at the Encore Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, earlier this month, and was one of several special celebrations marking the event’s 15th anniversary. The scholarship will cover the recipient’s travel, hotel and registration. The application process to nominate candidates will launch Q1 2022 for next year’s Summit taking place in Tel Aviv, Israel, from October 30–November 2.

The scholarship is named for Susie Ellis, GWS Chair & CEO, who has been at the helm of the Summit and its sister non-profit organization, the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), since inception and is very vocal about her commitment to bringing more equity and inclusion to the wellness industry.

Upon being presented with the new fund, Susie Ellis said, “I believe that the wellness industry can do much more when it comes to fostering inclusion and equity; this is a simple but incredibly powerful step in democratizing our industry. I thank all the donors who have made it possible for us to put our mission statement of ‘Joining Together. Shaping the Future.’ into tangible action.”

Ellis explained, “In May 2020 the world was rocked by the murder of George Floyd and I became personally committed to doing more–much more–for equity and inclusion in the wellness industry.” Ellis rallied the GWS Advisory Board and the GWI Board of Directors, and together they catalyzed ideas and initiatives to address this. As a start, GWS started the “Dr. Is INclusive” webinar series with integrative physician, Nicola Finley, MD. In addition, the GWI is launching a new “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” initiative, with the mission of creating a positive impact on the wellness of global society by promoting innovative wellness-based approaches that elevate and seed greater unity, respect and inclusion for all.

“The Susie Ellis Scholarship for Equity in Wellness grew out of my desire to honor Susie on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the GWS,” said Nancy Davis, Chief Creative Officer & Executive Director. “Susie has been vocal about the disparities in access in the wellness industry and has wanted to do something meaningful about it.”

To establish the scholarship, Davis reached out to a handful of like-minded, influential wellness supporters–Katrine and Bill Formby, Jill and Rick Stollmeyer, Lynne and Victor Brick, and the Szekely Family Foundation–and each contributed $10,000, creating a generous endowment that will fund the scholarship for the next several years.

“What a thrilling surprise to learn that Nancy Davis put together this brilliant scholarship program to promote equity and inclusion in the wellness world. I am so grateful to the first four contributors: GWI board member Rick Stollmeyer and his wife Jill, GWS board member Victor Brick and his wife Lynne, my mentor, Deborah Szekely and her family, and my twin sister, Katrine Formby and her husband Bill. It is my hope that we will be able to grow the fund so that multiple scholarships can be awarded each year and we can help keep the issue top of mind throughout the year to help motivate and inspire others in the wellness arena to do what they can for this important cause,” Ellis concluded.

“I am grateful to our inaugural donors for helping us expand the reach of the GWS and am thrilled to be able to honor Susie Ellis’ leadership, passion and vision in our industry,” said Davis. Anyone interested in contributing to this unique scholarship should email nancy.davis@globalwellnessinstitute.org.

The presentation of this scholarship as well as all mainstage keynotes, panels and speakers from the 2021 GWS are available through the Summit on Demand package, which is available for purchase here.

Registration to the 2022 Global Wellness Summit is now open, with early bird rates for a limited time.

About the Global Wellness Summit

The Global Wellness Summit is the premier organization that brings together leaders and visionaries to positively shape the future of the $4.4 trillion global wellness economy. Its future-focused conference is held at a different global location each year and has traveled to the US, Switzerland, Turkey, Bali, India, Morocco, Mexico, Austria, Italy and Singapore. GWS also hosts regular virtual gatherings, including Wellness Master Classes, Wellness Sector Spotlights and Investor “Reverse Pitch” events. The organization’s annual Global Wellness Trends Report offers expert-based predictions on the future of wellness. The 2022 Summit will be held in Tel Aviv, Israel from October 30–November 2.
