Hairstrong Adjustable Silk Scrunchies

We’ve designed one of the most reliable scrunchies that keeps your hair up in a secure hairstyle without feeling tight. We’ve launched with the idea of fitness in mind, but what about in the times of your life where you are not doing fitness? The Nano Tough Strongband is perfect for everyday, casual wear for any hair type, but what we really wanted to share with you is our brand new product line of adjustable silk scrunchies. 

Each band is hand crafted by the most luxurious mulberry silk to further reduce hair creases and damage. Designed with world-renowned, award-winning hair stylist, Heather Wenman. In collaboration together, we’ve curated a sleek silk design in two different scrunchie sizes. Each can be worn up to a fancy event or to put your hair up while you go to sleep. Either way, for any silk lovers out there, this is your chance to check them out. Launching online December 14th, 2022.

The Toe Spacer

We spend SO much time with our feet in our shoes, so much that we actually see our natural foot shape change to the shoes that we’ve been wearing. Imagine wrapping our hands in the same way, how different they’d look! Your toes and feet don’t even get a chance to spread out and move. 

You’re probably wondering why this matters. For long-term health, the alignment of your toes affects everything above it aka your whole body. Misalignment of your toes leads to so many issues and problems which is why the Toe Spacer was invented! The Toe Spacer helps relieve any current foot pain, stretches your foot muscles, reliaigns your toes, and helps common foot injuries.

Thirdzy

If you’re constantly tired, all you want to do is get more sleep. But as you probably know, more sleep doesn't necessarily mean more energy. What if you could make the sleep that you do get more effective and you could wake up more energized without wanting 9 cups of coffee to get through the day. 

Thirdzy to the rescue. Thirdzy has developed a collagen-based formula that gives you quality rest while your joints and muscles are actively repairing. Made with all-natural ingredients and free of melatonin, the PM Recovery Collagen supplement supports a better quality sleep while helping you feel refreshed in the morning and energized throughout the day. 

eXert Nutrition

Living a fast-paced on the go lifestyle trying to also make time for fitness and healthy eating is super hard. What makes healthy eating even harder is when you have dietary restrictions and foods that don’t always agree with your body like gluten, oats, or lactose.

eXert enters the chat. With a goal of having something delicious that can be consumed at any point without the worry of inflammatory ingredients, they’ve developed a delicious energy bar recipe that has healthy but simple ingredients. Trusted by many CrossFit athletes, we’re certain that eXert energy bars will make a regular appearance in your diet. Try out their maple walnut bar.

Zentein Nutrition

Reborn Club co.

Last but not least, we thought to introduce you to (if you don’t already know of), some of the cutest sweat sets and beanies out there with the nicest messages around self-growth, love, and confidence. All of their apparel has branding and messaging that helps you on your betterment journey, whatever that looks like for you in your life.

So another underrated part of your everyday wear are your socks. When you find a good brand of socks, all others just don’t feel the same. This is the way we feel about Outway socks.

Another sleep product on the list but that’s because you spend ⅓ of your life sleeping, so why shouldn’t it be the best sleep you can get? Hush launched with a weighted blanket to help reduce stress, anxiety, and help you fall asleep faster.
