Bezalel’s Futura X – A Wireless Charging Pad to Make Life Easier #TakeCharge

Paula — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 15:06:59 +0000

Bezalel’s Futura X is an ultra thin wireless charging pad that’s also sexy. That’s right. It’s got a drop dead gorgeous sleek design combined with great performance. This wireless charging pad is ideal for those of us who never seem to have charging cords or chargers, and isn’t that pretty much all of us? Don’t try to deny it. You know they are never handy when you want them. Bezalel’s Futura X resolves that problem while looking good. Futura X – Making Charging Sexy I’ve been eyeing up charging pads forever, so when I found Bezalel’s products on line a couple of months ago I was smitten. Not only does Bezalel make products for the home and office, but also for your iPhone, and often with the goal of charging on the go. With this ultra thin wireless charging pad, all I need is one cord – the one that I use to plug the pad into the wall or any USB slot. Unlike some charging pads, this one is ultra thin and compact, which makes it easy to take with us when we travel. Equally simple to move around the house. It powers up any mobile device equipped with a Qi-compatible receiver. Just connect it to a power source, put your device on the pad, and start charging. Those of you who know me also know I am a gadget girl. New technology makes me happy. I’m a mom of two, a blogger, social media consultant and a wife. I tweet and share and post all day on the go from wherever I am. Technology is part of my life. When technology looks good and also improves my day in some way that is golden for me. Both the Latitude charging case and Futura X work beautifully together. The charge might be a tiny bit slower than charging in the wall with your original cord and cube, but the convenience makes that seem like a small thing. There is a magnetic positioning feature in the Futura X wireless charging pad, so that it pulls your phone into the proper position every time for a great charge. Futura X – Compatible with Almost Everything The Futura X charger by Bezalel is compatible with almost all modern devices. From Apple to Nokia, this beauty easily charges almost any device. It should be noted that with Apple devices, you’ll need to purchase a Latitude universal iPhone wireless charging case, which I also received to use on the go and in the van. The Latitude contains a flexible lightning connector which makes it different than other wireless charging receivers and cases. A Futura X stand is also available to vary up the way you charge. The stand has the same elegant clean design feel that the charging pad exhibits. Take a look at the compatibility. Apple iPhone 6, 6S, 6S Plus iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Active Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+ Galaxy S, Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy Note 5 Google Nexus 4, 5, 6 and 7 Motorola Droid Maxx Droid Mini Droid Turbo and Droid Turbo 2 Moto 360 Nokia Lumia 735, Lumia 830, Lumia 920, Lumia 928, Lumia 929 Lumia 930 and Lumia 1520 Quite a comprehensive compatibility list. Futura X and Latitude with Bezalel – Easy Charging no Matter Where You Are I am loving the Futura X wireless charger and the Latitude. This combo makes life easier, while also looking good. It’s powerful, elegant and always ready for a charge. With the Futura X and Latitude with Bezalel I have more options for charging at home, in the office and on the go. The compact size of this charger and its compatibility is a huge plus, and the cost is affordable. To learn more or order the Futura X, visit the Bezalel website.

How Did Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor Help Me Tackle High Blood Pressure

Paula — Mon, 28 Mar 2016 03:01:54 +0000

In September of 2014 I had my first high blood pressure reading ever. It was frightening and frustrating too. So I set about fixing it. I worked out more, I went gluten free. I added more exercise. I banished salt, ate differently, walked more..and I did all that consistently for two years and still nothing much changed. My blood pressure went up and down. But sometimes it was as high as 150 over 92. About two months ago a Withings wireless blood pressure monitor arrived. And that’s when things finally turned around for the better. Before Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor: Month after month I used to check my blood pressure at the kiosks set up in various pharmacies. Often it was the middle of the day, or as I was literally fielding a phone call from the kid’s school. One time one of the kids was calling begging to come home and I literally had the cuff around my arm. That reading did not go well. Talk about high blood pressure! You are supposed to remain calm and still and quiet when taking your blood pressure. There were times I raced over to the Rexall pharmacy near my house right after a solid workout, or a yoga class. I assumed yoga would lower my blood pressure. It did not. And so I would return every few months to my doctor and he would do a reading because I reminded him to, and it was sky high. He was never that worried. We will monitor it, he said. Take your blood pressure regularly, he said. And I did. That last visit, I asked him about medication because I know my mother and one of my uncles both had to take blood pressure medicine. My doctor warned me that was not the route he wanted to take. “Once you are on blood pressure medicine you are on it for life,” he said. I am a Mom. I am also a person with a complex health history. As a teen, just entering grade nine I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, an incurable inflammatory bowel disorder also thought to be an autoimmune disorder. At times I have been very ill with that and hospitalized repeatedly. I have been much better since having children. I tell you this because I know what it’s like to have a body that doesn’t work the way you want it to all the time. It’s brutally infuriating. Anyways, when my Crohn’s Disease was very active and acute my blood pressure was so low that I was prone to anemia and feeling faint. So really I had a history of low blood pressure right up until 2014 when some sort of switch flipped and it was high over and over and over. But my doctor was insistent, no medication. He advised me to get a home blood pressure monitor. I had no luck finding one until the Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor arrived for use at home. Up until then, I was stymied. I worked out. I lost five pounds. My blood pressure came down ONE TIME when I had a reading at Rexall last year. I posted how giddy I was after that and shared the print out to Instagram and someone kindly advised me the machine was wrong and I should still worry about high blood pressure. That was not helpful. This is the best blood pressure reading I have had in months. #food #family #fun #health #summer #activity #healthyliving #love #pilates #fitness #healthyeating #happy A photo posted by Paula Schuck (@inkscrblr) on Jul 28, 2015 at 6:39am PDT The Withings wireless blood pressure monitor arrived and I set it up. It connects super simply with your iPhone and iPod. The instructions are easy to follow. Download the Withings Health Mate app, turn on the Withings Blood Pressure Monitor (there’s a silver cylinder that rests near inner arm when the cuff is wrapped and ready to go. The button is there.) Make sure that your Bluetooth connects to the blood pressure monitor and then follow the instructions. The Withings Health Mate app will also track your steps each day and store information, such as what your last reading was so you can get an idea over time of whether your blood pressure is coming down or going up. The Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor will tell you the best times to take a blood pressure reading. First thing in the morning and last thing at night. It reminds you to stay still with feet on the floor and arm resting on a surface so that it is close to your heart. I can’t even tell you how thrilled I was to see my first NORMAL blood pressure reading. The thing is first thing in the morning before I eat and have coffee and put out a million fires at work, then my blood pressure is Normal. At night, right before bed, it is good too. The entire process will take maybe five minutes out of your day. The Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor is medically approved and also monitors heart rate. It has received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA and is compliant with European medical device regulations. It is also medically approved in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. A few words about the packaging of the Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor package. The packaging is brilliant. It’s a sturdy folding green and white box that acts as a storage unit or a makeshift case for the monitor. The Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor was exactly what I needed. My doctor was right that I should get a home blood pressure monitor. His theory was also that everyone’s blood pressure rises just by virtue of being at the doctor’s office. I guess that was clearly true in my case. I almost always had to race from work with kids in tow when running to the doctor’s office, so I was pretty much already always stressed when I got there. Then, in addition to that, I would get more frustrated and stressed out being there because I had a feeling the readings would be high each time. That was a ridiculous cycle that couldn’t be broken. Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor: The Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor works beautifully to help people manage their health. It helped me lower my blood pressure and now I am less worried and stressed and frustrated which frankly also helped me to maintain lower blood pressure. The EXPERTS agree – In an 18-month project with the American Medical Group Association’s Measure Up/Pressure Down® campaign, hypertensive patients using the Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor saw blood pressure control rates improve 30% overall. Doctors shared that the device was useful in helping their patients control blood pressure at home. — American Medical Group Association Playing around with @withings wireless blood pressure monitor today. Sharing a post on how this finally helped me fix the high blood pressure drama here. #love #health #technology #bloodpressure #tech #gadgets #witeless #ldnont #happy #fitness #instahealth #instafitness my steps can always be better and it doesn’t log fitness classes unless you sync fitness pal app and add manually too. But nonetheless the blood pressure part is so worth it! A photo posted by Paula Schuck (@inkscrblr) on Mar 25, 2016 at 12:59pm PDT Oh and I almost forgot one of the best parts about this gadget also is the fact that the app with store your data in the cloud and then you can download it and share it easily with any digitally connected doctor. In fact your doctor doesn’t really even need to be digitally connected because you can just show him or her your data on your app. I received a Withings Wireless Blood Pressure monitor and occasionally work with Withings. My opinion is all my own and this post is 100 % truthful and based on my extremely positive experience with this product. The Withings Wireless Home Blood Pressure Monitor is an example of technology being used to make your life and health better. That is my favourite application for wireless gadgets. You can buy these Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitors at Best Buy, Amazon and in the Apple Store too. These retail for $129.95 US and they are more than worth it! The Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor gets my highest rating of $$$$$ out of $$$$$. In fact I’d like to give it higher because it’s that good. I think it just destroyed my rating system. Get one for a relative who has high blood pressure. Get one for yourself. Use it and take charge. I am including an Amazon affiliate link here in event anyone wants to buy one from Amazon right now:

Aftershokz Bluez 2S WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD #Giveaway #BeOpen

Paula — Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:28:20 +0000

Aftershokz Bluez 2S arrived here two days ago and I’ve barely taken them off. Truth. They rock my world and are changing the way I work, the way I work out, and walk, and do even the most tedious every day tasks. They are my Go To Headphones and they are truly unique, sturdier than you might ever imagine and honestly pretty stylish too. Wireless tech is nailing it this year. And that makes me happy. I have a wireless blood pressure monitor that I am using currently and it’s also making me healthier so Here’s to wireless gadgets that add value to my day and my health. BRING them on. When they work, they are like magic. I can’t wait until the day when most of our gadgets are wireless. That’s partly why I adore these Aftershokz Wireless Bone conduction headphones so much. NO CORD to drag with you or worry about getting bent, or broken. I’ve been wearing these Aftershokz Blues 2S for four days solid now, every day for several hours as I work and the battery has not died yet! I am pleasantly surprised by this battery life actually. Aftershokz come with a USB charger that plugs into your computer or into a wall socket. They have a small carrying pouch too so that I can put them in my bag or backpack and they won’t get crushed beneath the weight of a change purse. A Bit more about Aftershokz Blues 2S: Enhanced features include: Premium open ear audio experience PremiumPitch+™ is proprietary audio technology that assures the finest in bone conduction audio. PremiumPitch+™ delivers a balance of crisp detail and discernable bass, with two EQ presets to enhance music further. The secret to clearer phone calls is the precisely placed dual noise canceling microphones that exclude surrounding noise, effectively enhancing speech. I am still playing with this here and getting used to how well these work throughout my work day. I can vouch for the fact that these are super light and when I put them on in the morning I actually forget they are on at times. One of my chief complaints about all the wired headphones we have ever had is that the kids (12 and 14 now) all use them and the cords end up getting crimped or somehow bent and then the music starts being unreliable. My older daughter has a pair of Monster headphones that broke down in less than six months. That’s not going to happen here. Aftershokz are built to last. Finally, battling the single most frustrating drawback of bone conduction—natural sound leakage—is LeakSlayer™, an innovation that works to release sound generated by the transducers in order to cancel sound generated by the housing. Even at high volume, music and conversations are confined to the wearer. Increased sweat resistance — IP55 certified Bluez 2S are IP55 rated to ensure they’ll power through daily sweat sessions and wicked weather. An extra layer of protective housing was added to make sure sweat and moisture won’t damage electronics inside. Improved controls Controlling music and call features right from the headset has been a fan favorite, as it allows devices to remain safely tucked away during activity. A raised power button and larger volume button delivers a friendlier user experience. Aftershokz Bluez 2s are light and easy top wear. The on and off button is simple and they are almost too easy to use – foolproof really. Aftershokz Blues 2S are one of the best things I have seen here this year so far. This is a company to watch in future. Happily I have a set to give to one of my lucky readers so they can try them too. I received product in exchange for this post. My opinion is all my own.
