Every breath you take… Meet the Shift from Komusō " Peace of mind can be hard to find. In our busy lives, it's difficult to take those moments to breathe in and out, easing our bodies and minds into relaxation. With this special necklace, though, you can wear a reminder to do just that every day. I nspired by a conversation with a flutemaker who taught them about ancient Japanese monks and their breathing techniques, Todd and Vanessa Steinberg created a pendant that encourages slow, conscious breathing. S imply exhale through the pendant (don't worry, it's not a whistle), and you'll soon find yourself in the midst of a mini meditation—your heart rate slows, toxins are said to be released, and you return to the present moment, where you belong."

MUD/WTR – They aren't mad at coffee, just disappointed. " I fell into the commonly held belief that coffee would allow me to do more and do it better. Soon, I was drinking 3 cups of coffee per day and began to experience anxiety, jitters and really poor sleep which led to a variety of other negative side effects. I t turns out caffeine blocks the adenosine receptors affecting your ability to get deep sleep. In addition, the jolt of adrenaline and manipulation of your mood cause the shakes, crash and dependency which is terrible for high performance in the office or at the gym. I loved the morning ritual, but I felt like if I was going to drink something every morning, it should be more than just a vessel for caffeine. So, I set out to make something better."
