Possibly the Perfect Headphones for Summer – Mojawa Run Plus Waterproof

There are so many different ways to listen to music on the go. I didn’t realize how many ways there really were until the last month or so. I mean you have earbuds but you have wireless, wired, and you got the earbuds with the hooks that go over your ears. Then you have over-the-ear headphone and on-ear headphones. Then there bone conduction headphones and even air conduction headphones. Then you get into options like “sound proof”, “water resistant”, headphones with controls on them, just so many options.

I was recently approached with a newer bone conduction headphone that sounds truly different. Mojawa Run Plus bone conduction headphones have a lot of neat features that will make these perfect for summer fun and sweaty workouts.

Other than these bone conduction headphones being super waterproof (which is a huge plus for the summer) They also happen to have 32G of storage to store your music. The idea, if you’re swimming, running, playing a game of volleyball, etc you probably don’t want to or can’t have your phone with your. In this way you can load your fave music right to the headphones and leave your phone in a safe space without fear of it getting splashed or full of sand.

With controls right on the headphones themself you can adjust volume or switch play modes. When fully charged these headphones have 8 hours of battery life. But maybe your friend asks you to go for a hike and you realized “darn it, my headphones are almost dead” guess what, these headphones are fast charging. Only 5 min of charge needed for 90 min of play time. I think that’s awesome.

If you love getting your music to sound just right the Mojawa Run Plus has an app with smart EQ settings. So you’re rock, rap, country, techno, whatever will sound like you want it to.

Mojawa Run Plus will be available in black, white, orange, and blue. These are an upgraded version of the Mojo2 if you’re familiar with that model.

Here’s a summary of all the features of the Mojawa Run Plus.

IP68 Waterproof: 2M underwater.
Touch control: touch to switch playing modes, slide to adjust the volume.
Bluetooth and 32GB of Storage: either way, hands-free.
8 Hours of battery life & Fast charging: 5-min charging for 90-min playing time.
Patented Mojawa broadband tactile motor: stronger, louder, better sound.
Double springs design inside: Stability enhanced. Anti-drop.
App available with smart EQ settings.
Super lightweight & Secure fit: enjoy music in comfort, never fall out.

I received a sample of the Mojawa Run Plus in black. It comes with a charging cord, ear plugs, and storage bag.

I used these while out cutting down trees and weed eating in my yard. I love that I can hear the music but also hear what’s going on around me. It took some getting used to for me to learn to use the controls but once I got it, it was nice to not have to pull my phone out of my pockets to change the volume or answer a call.

The sounds is pretty good for bone conduction headphones. With the added features of the swim capability, 32 GB of storage, 8 hr battery life, and still being able to hear what is going on around you, these are the perfect headphones for the summer or outdoor chores.

Smile Brilliant Night Guard Review + Giveaway

You might have seen my review of the cariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrush from Smile Brilliant in the past. I’m still using that same toothbrush today. I do keep a supply of new brush heads on hand. My dentist was impressed with how well it keeps my teeth clean. She actually asked for the name of the toothbrush. But a newer issued came along at one of my dentist appointments a few years ago.

About 2 years ago, while at my dentist appointment, my dentists commented about my gums receding. She says there’s a few reasons it could happen but one reasons is from teeth clenching or grinding my teeth. I had a coworker that had a similar problem. She ended up having to have cadaver gums to fix her receding gum line. The idea of that just doesn’t appeal to me. They did give me some hope that there has been advances with injecting collagen into the gums and seeing results with that treatment. Unfortunately it was just starting on the west coast and hadn’t made it’s way to the east coast yet. It’s obviously something that dentists will need to be trained to do as well.

I started to pay more attention. I noticed I did clench my teeth when working out. I sometimes grind my teeth when I’m bored. It’s possible I clench or grind my teeth at night. I don’t personally know that I do and my husband has never said anything to that effect.

So, what do I do? I ask my dentist. She suggested a night guard. Unfortunately she says it’s not covered by my insurance. They could do a custom one but it would cost around $500 or I could buy a pre-fab one somewhere like Walmart. So I went with that option. The pre-fab one I bought only cost about $20. Unfortunately you get what you pay for. It didn’t fit my mouth right. I had to cut the ends so it fit in my mouth without feeling like it was gagging me. In the end it didn’t work out.

I was starting to seriously consider shelling out the $500 to avoid cadaver gums. But then Smile Brilliant entered my life. It was exactly the solution I needed.

Smile Brilliant offers custom night guards you can get in the convenience of your own home. Smile Brilliant Custom Night Guard costs a fraction of what i would have paid my dentist but still getting the custom fit I need. They send you a kit in the mail to create your own custom dental guard at your convenience. They have an easy to follow step by step guide.

You kit comes with a mold and stuff that reminds me of silly putty that you have to mix together. They give you enough for two tries just in case you mess up on the first one. I’ve used the same method for their teeth whitening trays. I usually get it on the first try but did end up having to use the 2nd set this time. No worries if you still need more, you just have to contact them.

The whole process really only take about 10 min start to finish. The instructions have high resolution, color pics. They are are truly step by step. I personally suggest reading through the entire directions so you can anticipate what you need to do next. It’s not a hard process but you do only have so much time to work with the molding solution before it starts to harden.

Smile Brilliant also provides an envelope, postage paid, to send your impression back for your bite guard to be created.

It took close to three weeks for me to get my bite guard in the mail but when I received it, it was a perfect fit. It’s a nice flexible material. It’s comfortable in my mouth.

When your finished bite guard is sent to you, you also receive a convenient, vented storage container to keep your bite guard in.

Great Tasting Energy Tea from Zest Tea

When you think about tea, what do you think of? Honestly I have so many thoughts. I think of a cold refreshing tea on a hot summer day. I think about a nice warm cup of morning tea to start my day. I think about a beverage that has benefits beyond quenching my thirst pallet.

Zest Tea offers a variety of energy teas to enjoy anytime you need a boost of energy.

This high caffeine tea is delicious, refreshing, and just the kick you need without the crash.

Zest Tea loose leaf tea and tea bags are available in 6 different flavors:

blue lady
pomegranate mojito
earl gray
cinnamon apple
spicy masala chai
superberry samba

The Zest Tea sparkling teas are available in different flavors and varieties

Passionfruit Berry (this is the flavor I sampled and LOVE IT!)
Sweet Chai Infusion
Pomegranate Mint
Blackberry Lime Zero Sugar
Blood Orange Mango Zero Sugar
Cucumber Melon Zero Sugar

So what is in a cup of Zest Tea caffeinated tea?

ENERGY: Up to 150mg caffeine = 3x regular tea
FOCUS: 40mg L-Theanine = no jitters, no crash
HEALTH: Natural, Non-GMO certified ingredients

Honestly, I loved all the teas. The flavors, the quality of the tea, the fragrance, it was definitely high quality.

One thing I really loved though was the Sparkling Teas for the summer. Cold, refreshing, crisp, just what I need on a hot day. I took several cans with me when we went to the beach. Because Zest Tea is the tea with the most caffeine, it’s great for long road trips. The added focus benefit was awesome too.

I’m usually the one driving when we go on roadtrips. My husband actually enjoys the fact that I drive and it benefits me because I get motion sickness as a passenger. I’ve tried a lot of caffeinated drinks during road trips but this was by far the best. I’m gonna have to order more for our next trip. We’re headed to State College in November to see Kane Brown, just me and the hubs.It’s a long awaited overnight getaway for me and the hubs. That hasn’t happened without the kids in a couple years.

With the kids starting back to school I’ll be enjoying my sips of hot Zest Tea on the porch while waiting for the bus to drop them off. That way I’ll be sure to meet them with the same energy they meet me with.

You can check out Zest Tea out here. I haven’t had the opportunity to try the zero sugar but the flavors sound amazing. I’ve been trying to cut sugar out of my beverages because it’s a pretty easy way to start reducing daily sugar intake.

GIVEAWAY

1 US winner will win a 20 ct package of Zest Tea tea bags.

I received sample products in order to complete this post. Any opinions expressed are my own.

iFit Compatible Rower Deal!!! Almost 50% off!

I’ve been hooked on iFit every since we got our iFit compatible Proform treadmill almost two years ago. The programs are engaging, the trainers and guides are interesting, and I love the opportunity to earn magnets, t-shirts, etc as part of being an iFit member. It’s definitely motivation for me.

When we got our studio bike it HAD to be iFit compatible. I enjoy the bike programs just as much as the treadmill. The next piece of equipment on my home gym wish list is a rower. And yes, it needs to be iFit compatible for us.

Walmart currently has the ProForm Pro R10 Smart Rower with 10″ touchscreen and one year iFit membership nearly 50% off right now! The original price was $999. It’s currently on clearance for $524! I’m trying hard to talk my hubby into this.

Have you tried iFit before? Do you own a rower that is iFit compatible? What do you think? I understand there are less workouts available for the rower when compared to the treadmill in the bike but I’m ok with that.

On a side note, did you hear that iFit and the Sweat app have joined forces? It’s true. I’m so excited. iFit is continually growing. I feel like there is constantly something new happening to make it bigger and better. So much variety. They also have strength training, HIIT, and yoga workouts available too even if you don’t own any of the equipment.

Also, one tip if you are considering buying a treadmill or bike that’s iFit compatible. We opted for a cheaper treadmill that did not have the screen. We have to use our phones or ipad to do the programs on our treadmill. That means making sure the device we want/need to use is charged. After getting our bike that has a screen built in, I’m really wishing we would have chose a treadmill with a built in screen. Oh well, you live and you learn right?
