I like how it records my weight so that I can see trends using my Android smartphone or iOS device. Withings has recently announced a new model called the Smart Body Analyzer.

I felt it was time for a quick followup on my original Joyetech e-cigarette review. I’ve now been almost six months cigarette-free, that’s approximately 4500 cigarettes I haven’t smoked! So no 4000+ nasty chemicals, a huge saving in money, my taste has returned, I’m feeling way healthier and my clothes (and I) don’t stink ! [...]

I didn’t move much at all, which isn’t good. Pedometers and activity trackers have become more and more popular in the past couple of years because they show [...]

When was the last time you wished you had a bathroom scale that you could take with you everywhere you go? If the answer to that question is anything but never, you need to go eat a cheeseburger and get over it. But I’m not judging. Ok maybe a little. For those of us that [...]

I have my thermostat set to go down to 68 degrees at night because I sleep better when it’s cool. When I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing the PolarPillow, I was intrigued by their claims that it would keep my head cool for hours without the need for refrigeration, batteries or water.

The All Black is ‘just…’ a new color scheme in the existing Sunnto Elementum Terra line. The all-black casing and negative display make for a stealthy (Stargate ) look, while retaining all the functionality of the Terra clan.

When I was in college, everybody had these bed pillows that looked like the back of a chair with arms. We called these pillows “husbands”, and they were great back support while we sat on our beds doing assignments for hours. I had seen a few husbands in stores over the years, but none were [...]
