Aureus Golf Shoes – Game Changer aureus-usa.com

So, my buddy, Nick, says he has a pair of shoes he thinks might fit me. You
have to understand that Nick is the kind of guy who loves new toys and
gadgets, so I’m imagining something like glow-in-the-dark shoes. Anyway,
I get the very attractive shoes ... Aureus “Taurus.” I slip them on (elastic
laces), and they feel great immediately. They slip off and on in a second
and would be great for airports. I know what you’re thinking, but they really feel solid on your feet. I wear
them to the driving range sometimes, and I forget that I’m not wearing spikes. I can actually feel the
traction the soles give me. Now, I’m just your average Joe. I don’t know much about shoe construction, so
I’m not going to go into what Aureus’ leather uppers and lining do for breathability, mesh fabric backing
for comfort, their AM-TECH direct injected insole and midsole, or thermoplastic polyurethane outsole. I’m
just going to tell you that these are the most comfortable and versatile shoes I've ever worn ... and I owe it
all to my buddy, Nick. Who’d have thought? (Sebastian)

Aquasana Active Filter Bottle – Clean Living aquasana.com

Every athlete knows the importance of hydration. While I don’t consider
myself an athlete per se, I do fall into the category of people who enjoy
athletic activities. Whether I’m at my Rumba class or out on the golf
course in the hot summer, my Aquasana filter bottle gives me the water
I need and the purity that I want. I fill the bottle with tap water and
the economical long-life filter removes over 99% of bacteria, lead, and
chlorine. You get professional grade filtration at your fingertips. With a
cost/gallon similar to most basic filters, $0.18 a gallon, I save hundreds
versus bottled water. Best of all each eco-friendly filter replaces over 600
bottles of bottled water. Enjoy the benefits of a portable water-bottling
plant in your cup holder! (Barge)

ThreadLab – Closet in a Box mythreadlab.com

The future of clothes buying has arrived. I realize many of you already
purchase your apparel online because you just don’t have the time to go
to stores, but the people at ThreadLab take it a step further. Imagine a
store that knows what styles and colors you like and your sizes. Set up your
custom profile online at ThreadLab, and they will hand pick items, box
them, and deliver them to your door. You can set up a monthly, quarterly,
or yearly account. If you want to try it once, that’s OK too! You are
NEVER locked in to a subscription service. They offer a wide selection
of gear from which choose because ThreadLab partners with more than
50 brands. I have to admit, when I received my box, it felt like opening a goodie bag with plenty of nice
surprises inside. I felt like the proverbial kid on Christmas morning. I’m so glad they didn’t send me that
giant Easter Bunny outfit. Fill your closet with some nifty new threads. (Ciattei)
