Find inner peace with this Buddha ice cube mold

NEWS – We’ve shown you lots of ways to cool your potent potables, including chilled stainless steel balls, but this is the first time we’ve featured an ice cube that may provide a Zen experience for you.  The Skaxi 3D Laughing Buddha Silicone Mold produces four ice cubes that will bring a new peace to an after-dinner drink.

The Buddha ice pieces are 3D, not flat pieces.  They are big enough that a single piece is sufficient for a couple fingers of whiskey.

The tray is made of high-quality, food-grade, BPA-free silicone material.  It’s dishwasher-safe, oven-safe to 400°F, and freeze-proof -40°F.  In addition to making ice, you can use the mold for molding chocolates or for baking.  It can even be used for molding soaps or bath bombs.

The Skaxi 3D Laughing Buddha Silicone Mold is $11.90 at Amazon.

The Monet grip adds 3-in-1 functionality to your smartphone

The slim profile wallet pocket is capable of holding up to 3 cards or cash. And the slide-out grip slides flat when your phone is in your pocket.

The grip can also be used as a convenient kickstand. Perfect for video calls or watching movies or videos.

Because the Monet 3-in1 grip is made of leather, it adds a bit of luxury to your phone. And it’s available in a bevy of different colors to match your phone or case. The colors include Dark Teal, Lilac, Peach, Steel Grey, and Underwater Blue.

WaterField’s Tech Pocket is for the minimalist who carries only a small amount of gear

NEWS – Recently, we told you about the Tech Folio from WaterField.  It was one of the products of their Next Generation Gear Case community design project, in which WaterField surveyed many of their gear-loving customers to help them design gear bags that people actually want and can use.  The Tech Folio was a large pocket capable of holding a lot of gear, including a tablet.  The next product from the community design project is the Tech Pocket, which is designed for the minimalist who carries only a few tech items.

The Tech Pocket reminds me of WaterField’s Finn wallets in a way.  It, like the Finn, has a couple of interior pockets to hold smaller gear with an open center space to hold bigger items.  It measures 7.50” x 4.75″ and weighs 4.3 oz.  It organizes the small EDC items that don’t fit in your pockets in a pouch small enough to hand carry or stow in a larger bag as your organizer pouch.

The top of the bag opens like some coin purses I’ve seen, with two magnetic, hinged bars that bow open for access then snap shut and hold the bag closed.  Inside, the soft, plush, cashmere-like lining protects your gear.    A front zipper pocket gives easy access to earbuds or other often-used items.

Two loops on the ends allow you to attach a carabiner.  They can also be used to attach the Tech Pocket inside another bag or even to attach a shoulder strap.  It’s made of 1050-denier black ballistic nylon or of waxed canvas.

The Tech Pocket can be ordered today for $49.00.  It will ship by August 31.  Learn more at WaterField.

Philips announces the Adore mirror with smart Hue lighting

NEWS – Philips has announced a new fixture that can replace both the mirror and the over-mirror light in your bathroom.  It can be used as general lighting for the room, and it can provide task lighting for shaving or applying makeup.  The new Philips Adore bathroom mirror adds to your existing Hue bridge that controls all your other Hue lights.  Just like those lights, the Adore mirror can be controlled using your smart phone app, Alexa voice commands, or with the included switch/remote control.

The switch mounts to the wall and is used to power the mirror on or off or to dim the light.  The button bar pops off the mounting plate so you can use the remote to adjust the lighting while you’re relaxing in the bath.

The circular mirror has a 22″ diameter and protrudes 2.0″ from the wall.  It uses a 40W LED bulb to produce 2400 lumens.  The light color is 2200-6500 Hue White Ambiance.  It can be adjusted from energizing white light to get you awake and ready for the day to a warm, relaxing light to help you wind down from a busy day while showering or soaking in the tub.

The Adore mirror was designed for the humid environment of a bathroom; it is DAMP-rated by UL.  Philips says:  “It was tested rigorously to ensure its water resistance. The IP level is described by two figures: the first one refers to the protection level against dust, the second against water. This bathroom light is designed with IP44: it is protected against splashing water, this product is most common and ideal for bathroom use.”

The Adore mirror isn’t yet available, but Hue says it will sell for $249.99.  Learn more at Philips.
