<p>In today&#8217;s fast-paced world, where every penny counts and our planet needs even more protection, finding ways to save on your monthly expenses while looking after the environment is like hitting the jackpot. Imagine slashing your home thermostat energy costs without sacrificing comfort or convenience. Well, guess what? It&#8217;s not just a dream anymore; it&#8217;s a reality with this <strong>free app </strong>that I finally found. <a href="https://optiwatt.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Optiwatt</a> is the revolutionary eco-friendly app that&#8217;s changing the game when it comes to managing your energy usage.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Real-Time Thermostat Feedback</strong></h2>



<p>As a smart thermostat owner, I&#8217;ve always been on the lookout for tools to help me maximize energy efficiency while minimizing costs. That&#8217;s when I stumbled upon Optiwatt, and let me tell you, it&#8217;s been a game-changer.</p>



<p>One of the most remarkable features of this app is its ability to seamlessly integrate with my utility rates, providing me with real-time insights into what I&#8217;m spending on heating and cooling. That way I don’t get any negative surprise bill at the end of the month — with Optiwatt, I&#8217;m aware of my <a href="https://optiwatt.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">energy consumption beforehand</a>.</p>



<p>Additionally, this app gives me full control over my thermostat settings from my phone. Whether I&#8217;m fine-tuning the temperature to find the perfect balance between comfort and savings or simply checking in on my energy usage, Optiwatt empowers me to make the right decisions that align with my budget and lifestyle.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Schedule and Save</strong></h2>



<p>The Optiwatt app saves you money by cooling your home in a smarter way. The app integrates your actual utility rates and will pre-cool your home a few degrees when your electricity rates are cheaper, saving you money and allowing you to experience the same level of comfort throughout the day. The app also takes into account the weather in your area to determine whether pre-cooling is necessary or not.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Save Money with a Free App – Forever!</strong></h2>



<p>Now, talking about savings – the most relevant part. On average, Optiwatt users like myself are pocketing a whopping $287 per year in savings. And the icing on the cake? The app is completely free to download and use, forever. Unlike the other apps I tried before, Optiwatt has no hidden fees, no subscription charges — just pure savings, straight to your wallet.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Sounds too good to be true, right? They promise Optiwatt is free forever. It helps companies purchase electricity at the right time to maximize savings. The electric companies give a portion of the savings to <a href="https://optiwatt.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Optiwatt</a>, that’s how they make money — via the electric companies, not us. And because you are optimizing your electricity use during off-peak hours, electric companies bill you less, resulting in huge savings. Win-win-win for all sides.</p>



<p>But the benefits continue beyond there. By optimizing energy consumption and reducing peak demand periods, Optiwatt is helping to lighten the load on our energy grid and minimize reliance on inefficient power plants. This means fewer emissions, a cleaner environment, and a brighter future for the next generations.</p>



<p>With over 150k downloads and a stellar 4.8-star rating on the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/optiwatt-tesla-ev-charging/id1536047033?see-all=reviews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">App Store</a> and over 50k on the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.getoptiwatt.optiwatt&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US&amp;pli=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Play Store</a>, it&#8217;s clear that Optiwatt is making a huge impact in the world of energy savings with sustainable options, supporting all countries and currencies.</p>



<p>So, if you&#8217;re ready to <a href="https://optiwatt.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">join the thousands of smart homeowners</a> like me who are saving money while also doing their part for the environment, look no further than Optiwatt. Trust me; your wallet —and the planet— will thank you.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">If you’re an avid outdoor adventurer, you’d probably agree that most of the big-name winter jackets and athletic pants are far from perfect. Some are warm but constrain your movements, others are light but poorly insulating, and others are just too heavy. How can you really enjoy a day on the trail or the track when you’re so uncomfortable? When you choose <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">OROS</a> for your active cold weather wear, you’ll never ask this question again.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">OROS is known for its <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SOLARCORE® insulation that provides spacesuit-level warmth</a> without any of the restrictive bulkiness. The brand’s use of this super-lightweight, ultra-insulating material is a natural result of its co-founders’ love for both science and adventure. The co-founders tackled their frustration with low-performing, poorly insulating, overly heavy adventure gear with their scientific expertise to make the best active outerwear around.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Whether you’re going for a big hike, zooming down a black-diamond run, or just hitting the climbing gym, OROS has exactly the outerwear you need. Try any of these three <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">OROS active cold weather wear products</a> to see for yourself.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Explorer Hoodie</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">We’ve all been there: You’re on day three of your camping trip, and suddenly, rain and wind start pummeling you. With the OROS Explorer Hoodie, available in <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/mens-explorer-hoodie?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/mens-explorer-hoodie?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">men’s styles </a>and <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-explorer-hoodie?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-explorer-hoodie?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">women’s styles</a>, you’ll barely notice a difference. The protective, windproof overlay on the back and body stops strong winds and blocks moisture. Of course, since this is an OROS hoodie, it doesn’t skimp on the SOLARCORE insulation, so you’ll get both thorough warmth and a super-light feel.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">For extra warmth and protection from the elements, the Explorer Hoodie also includes a scuba hood that keeps out cold air and moisture. If you ever get too hot, you can open the hoodie’s two-way zipper for extra venting. And to keep your phone and other belongings dry, the Explorer also has a zippered exterior kangaroo pocket. Go ahead and explore the world – nothing can stop you now.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://www.peoplehype.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/mens-explorer-hoodie-819x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-6737" width="410" height="512"/></a><figcaption><strong>Explorer Hoodie</strong></figcaption></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br>2. Nova Crew</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">If your inner layers are too constraining, getting active outdoors can also mean getting annoyed outdoors. That’s why OROS designed the women’s <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-nova-crew?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-nova-crew?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nova Crew</a> to prioritize comfort, functionality, and warmth, all at the same time. The Nova Crew is fully breathable and stuffed with insulation placed strategically for optimal movement. It also has thumb loops so you can wrap your knuckles for extra warmth. It works equally well as an inner layer for skiing or a standalone climbing gym shirt.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">If you do rock The <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-nova-crew?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-nova-crew?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nova Crew</a> alone, you’ll barely look like you’re wearing athletic clothes. The Nova has a flattering curved hem, and its zippered pocket is neatly hidden along the tip to keep things looking sleek. Whether you’re keeping the Nova on after the gym or joining some friends for a run, you’ll look your best.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-nova-crew?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.peoplehype.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/nova-hoodie.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-6738" width="405" height="485"/></a><figcaption><strong>Nova Crew</strong></figcaption></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Wayfinder Pant</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">For a run around the block or a climb up a big mountain, the <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/mens-wayfinder-pant?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/mens-wayfinder-pant?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wayfinder Pant</a> is man’s new best friend. Its insulation is placed strategically for exactly the right amount of warmth in arctic climes, and its tapered standard fit and articulated shape won’t get in the way of your movement. It’s the best way to not just hit the trail but <em>own it</em>.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">The <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/mens-wayfinder-pant?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/mens-wayfinder-pant?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wayfinder</a> goes the extra mile on comfort too. Its elasticated, knit drawstring waist and comfort cuffs prevent chafing and itching. For ski days, you can snap and stop your ski skirt’s ends into the interior garage too. Plus, with two drop-in hand pockets and a functional fly, the Wayfinder is basically your favorite pair of casual day pants reimagined for your biggest outdoor adventures.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">As an avid skier and wintertime runner, one of my biggest longtime challenges was finding performance-boosting active tights that were light, comfy, and warm. The big-name athleisure brands never quite checked every box – I spent years sacrificing warmth for performance, comfort for warmth, trade-offs like that. It was super unpleasant, and after years of running and skiing in subpar tights, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank">I finally found ones that hit every mark</a>.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">No, I didn’t find these tights at an athleisure or athletics store. I found them through OROS. The <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">OROS Delta Tight</a> is ultra-light, super comfy, and always warm thanks to OROS’ one-of-a-kind <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SOLARCORE® Insulation</a>. SOLARCORE is zero-bulk and achieves insulation as powerful as what you’d normally find on space shuttles. It’s like running in a paper-thin spacesuit – I get full warmth <em>and </em>top performance.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.peoplehype.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/delta-tight-inline-image.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-6732"/></a></figure></div>

</div>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><br>A big reason the Delta Tight first got my attention is that its <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">insulation is zoned</a>, meaning it keeps me warm while blocking sharp winds where I need warmth and protection the most. OROS combines this zoning with <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">flatlock seams, a shaped waistband, and an articulated shape</a>. Together, this all keeps me comfy and mobile whether I’m jogging around the block or shooting down a black-diamond run. Plus, when I’m done skiing, I can snap and stow my ski skirt’s ends into the tights’ interior garage. I’m moving without limits both on and off the slopes!</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">All these <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">high-tech features</a> helped persuade me to buy the Delta Tight, but I did initially hesitate a bit. How, precisely, did OROS figure out the magic formula? Learning the answer to this question convinced me that OROS is the real deal. OROS’s founders are both avid adventurers with extensive backgrounds in science, engineering, and lab testing. They’re exactly the kind of people I would ask to design the ideal tights. And with the Delta Tight, they’ve done just that.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">I’ve been consistently wearing my Delta Tight during my active winter moments, and everything about my skiing and running has improved. I’m hitting PRs and staying warm, and I’m always comfy too. Plus, as a little bonus, the Delta Tight has a <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">drop-in outer thigh storage pocket</a> where I can keep my phone without worrying about losing it or watching it fly off the mountainside. The phone pics I’m getting from my chairlift views are priceless, and honestly, so is the Delta Tight.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">If you too have long sought an active tight that’s suited for both the slopes and the streets, <a href="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.orosapparel.com/products/womens-delta-tight?utm_source=BMG&amp;utm_medium=content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shop OROS now to get your very own Delta Tight</a>! My tights have honestly solved all my prior performance and warmth problems. I’m fully confident that if you buy them, you’ll feel the same.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ricardo Quintero previously ran Clinique, a major division of the multi billion dollar skincare empire, Estée Lauder company. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Now he and his wife Pilar started a direct to consumer skincare line called <a href="https://www.careskincare.com/?utm_source=techindependent&amp;utm_medium=men_buying_skincare&amp;utm_content=mothersday">Care Skincare</a> which is gaining rave reviews for its quality and affordability. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">We sat down with Quintero and asked &#8220;When shopping for their wife or girlfriend, how can men confidently gift skincare products.&#8221; </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>TI: What should men be looking for when shopping for their significant other in the skincare aisle?</strong></h3>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">RQ: Essential products. There are three important needs of the skin that should be addressed as part of a daily routine. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>TI: Could you elaborate on those three important needs? </strong></h3>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">RQ: Of course, first you have to <strong>cleanse</strong> every morning and every night. Your skin has cell turnover and you want to be able to remove the dead skin cells, dirt, excess oil and other debris that our skin picks up during the day and night. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Second, <strong>Moisturize</strong>. This is a very important step, in keeping skin healthy and in balance.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Third, <strong>Repair</strong>.  As skin ages it loses elasticity and strength. Fortunately, there are formulas and ingredients that can help repair aging skin. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>TI: What products do you recommend for each of these steps? </strong></h3>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">RQ: To <strong>cleanse</strong>, our <em><a href="https://careskincare.com/products/soft-sweep?utm_source=techindependent&amp;utm_medium=men_buying_skincare&amp;utm_content=mothersday">Soft Sweep Micellar Cleanser Water and Toner</a></em>. One product, easy to use day and night, that is effective, and won’t damage the skin barrier. So good, that it won a Self Magazine Healthy Beauty Award in 2019, and it starts at only $24 which is very reasonable for a product of this size and quality.  </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/CARE-SOLDIER-01-Cleanser-Self-3-1024x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-18112" width="512" height="512" srcset="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/CARE-SOLDIER-01-Cleanser-Self-3.png 1024w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/CARE-SOLDIER-01-Cleanser-Self-3-300x300.png 300w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/CARE-SOLDIER-01-Cleanser-Self-3-150x150.png 150w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/CARE-SOLDIER-01-Cleanser-Self-3-768x768.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /><figcaption>Care Soft Sweet Cleanser</figcaption></figure></div>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">RQ: To <strong>moisturize</strong>, we have the perfect solution. Our <em><a href="https://careskincare.com/products/deep-moisture-fix?utm_source=techindependent&amp;utm_medium=men_buying_skincare&amp;utm_content=mothersday">Deep Moisture Fix</a></em>&#8211; from a light, gel cream in packed with Hyaluronic Acid (a super powerful ingredient that is naturally present in skin), Caffeine, Vitamin C and E. Just $35. This product was featured on Byrdie.com which might not mean a lot to the guys reading this, but women follow their guidance religiously. </p>

<p>The price of prescription drugs has long been a barrier for countless Americans to receive the treatment they need. Today, there is a more affordable, accessible, and convenient solution for getting generic prescriptions.</p>



<p>Ro, the telehealth company behind Roman, is on a mission to make prescription medication simple and affordable. They recently launched Ro Pharmacy, an online pharmacy and delivery service, where you can get a 30-day or 90-day supply of generic prescription medication delivered straight to your door for <a href="https://pharm.ro.co/ro-pharmacy/?utm_source=blackbird&amp;utm_medium=content&amp;utm_campaign=cincomain">just $5 per month.</a> There&#8217;s no insurance required to achieve the $5 price point and no membership fee.</p>



<p>Ro Pharmacy offers generic forms of over 500 medications—each for the simple flat rate of $5 per month.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you have an active prescription, you can give Ro Pharmacy the name of your medication and current pharmacy, and their team will handle the rest. Ro’s team will work directly with your existing pharmacy and healthcare providers to transfer, update, refill, and renew your prescriptions, so you don’t have to sweat the details.</p>



<p>If you are a member, you can choose between receiving monthly deliveries or a 90-day supply of your medication every three months—whichever is most convenient. All prescriptions are delivered to your door, so you can avoid extra trips to the pharmacy.</p>



<p>With <a href="https://pharm.ro.co/ro-pharmacy/?utm_source=blackbird&amp;utm_medium=content&amp;utm_campaign=cincomain">Ro Pharmacy,</a> you have the ability to auto-refill, cancel, or delay shipments by simply texting your pharmacist directly. You’ll also receive unlimited, free text support, so you can reach out to your pharmacist with questions or to make adjustments as needed.</p>



<p>Ro wants to help expand access to <a href="https://pharm.ro.co/ro-pharmacy/?utm_source=blackbird&amp;utm_medium=content&amp;utm_campaign=cincomain">generic medications</a> at a more affordable price point. Because when it comes to taking care of your health, cost should never be a barrier to treatment. </p>

<p>Erectile dysfunction is more common than you may think, as it affects an estimated <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17275456">18 million men in the U.S.</a> Roman is a digital men’s health clinic that has been helping men struggling with E.D. since 2017. They do this by connecting men with U.S. licensed physicians that can prescribe them treatment to take care of it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How Roman Works&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>Getting started with Roman is simple. After visiting the <a href="http://www.getroman.com/">Roman</a> website, you can select what condition you’re seeking help for and you will be directed into a dynamic online visit. After you’re done putting in your health information, a Roman-affiliated physician will contact you within 24 hours. If the physician who reviews your information decides that you are suitable for telemedicine, they can prescribe you treatment. In this case, you’ll be contacted by healthcare professional and will receive a personalized treatment plan. You will have the option to have your prescription filled by one of our licensed pharmacies and sent to your door (in discreet packaging) with free 2-day shipping, or you can choose to pick up a prescription from a pharmacy near you.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Your Health Is Always In Mind</strong></h2>



<p>Roman understands the concerns people have about ordering medication online. Researchers have found that some <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5313300/">medication offered online</a> may be counterfeit and contain potentially toxic contaminants. Roman’s licensed pharmacies will only prescribe genuine medication. Should you ever have concerns about your treatment or feel like you need answers, you can reach out to your Roman-affiliated healthcare professional at any time. Roman does not charge for follow-ups, which is an added perk of being a member. Treatment pricing is transparent and will vary based on dosage and frequency, so you and your healthcare professional can choose a plan that’s best for you and your wallet.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Interested?</strong></h2>



<p>Right now, Roman is offering a free online visit in addition to free 2-day shipping. <a href="https://www.getroman.com/?utm_source=blackbird&amp;utm_medium=content&amp;utm_campaign=ed">Click here to get started.</a></p>

<p><em>Roman is offering a free online visit and free two day shipping to new members.&nbsp;</em></p>



<p>Health conditions like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and hair loss are very common. For erectile dysfunction, 20% of all guys under 40 experience it, and that percentage more than doubles for men over 40. The Mayo Clinic estimates about a third of American men experience premature ejacutlation at least occasionally. And two thirds of guys will experience noticeable hair loss by 35.</p>



<p>That’s why the healthcare professionals and engineers at <a href="https://www.getroman.com/?ro_ch=paid_social&amp;ro_p=content&amp;ro_con=0&amp;ro_c=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;ro_g=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;ro_a=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;utm_medium=paid_social&amp;utm_source=content&amp;utm_campaign=bbt_orig">Roman</a> poured so much time into creating a user-friendly online visit so that guys can get help from a U.S.-licensed physician safely at home. Roman has completely changed the way men around the US can get treatment for conditions like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, hair loss, genital herpes, and cold sores.&nbsp;</p>



<p>They do this by making it easy for you to connect online with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized treatment and, if appropriate, prescribe genuine medication. Roman can even ship your medication right to your door with free 2-day shipping. No visit to the pharmacy required, and you can cancel your plan anytime, no hidden fees. You also have the option of sending your medication to your local pharmacy for pickup. Whatever is most convenient for you.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.getroman.com/?ro_ch=paid_social&amp;ro_p=content&amp;ro_con=0&amp;ro_c=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;ro_g=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;ro_a=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;utm_medium=paid_social&amp;utm_source=content&amp;utm_campaign=bbt_orig">Roman</a> ships every order in discreet packaging so members can get what they need without the hassle. No one, including your neighbors or your mailman, needs to know what’s showing up on your doorstep. And thanks to Roman’s lowkey, nondescript packaging, no one else will. You can always reach Roman and get an answer. Roman is available 24/7 by email and Monday to Friday during business hours by phone.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The best part is that <a href="https://www.getroman.com/?ro_ch=paid_social&amp;ro_p=content&amp;ro_con=0&amp;ro_c=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;ro_g=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;ro_a=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;utm_medium=paid_social&amp;utm_source=content&amp;utm_campaign=bbt_orig">Roman members</a> can follow-up with their healthcare professional for free for as long as they are a member. A Roman-affiliated healthcare professional can answer questions or even help adjust your dose or medication over time.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Their customer care team is available 24/7 by email, and by phone during business hours from Monday to Friday. Pricing is transparent so members can be sure that their treatment plan will fit their budget, and they can cancel anytime. <a href="https://www.getroman.com/?ro_ch=paid_social&amp;ro_p=content&amp;ro_con=0&amp;ro_c=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;ro_g=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;ro_a=0b73697224208826cf31e18f5296dfe8&amp;utm_medium=paid_social&amp;utm_source=content&amp;utm_campaign=bbt_orig">Roman is offering</a> a free online visit and free two day shipping for all new members.</p>

<p>No matter when or why I’m heading out, I have one golden rule: I&nbsp;<em>never&nbsp;</em>leave the house without putting on deodorant. There is just nothing worse than lifting my arms and everyone seeing gross underarm stains on my shirt — or worse, smelling the utterly rank stench of pit sweat. I refuse to be the person known for putrid B.O.!</p>



<p>I have been using a popular natural deodorant for a little while now. I was tired of covering my skin in store-brand deodorant chemicals because the aluminum found in these deodorants can cause cancer and Alzheimer’s. I was stoked to switch to a brand made right here in the U.S. without any toxic chemicals or cruel animal testing. What I wasn’t so stoked about, though, was tossing out the deodorant tube every time the stick ran out.</p>



<p>Those plastic deodorant tubes contribute to our global trash and recycling problem. I’m one of the growing number of people around the world who are swearing off single-use plastics like straws, because nothing that humanity creates or uses should be finding its way into oceans and rivers and harming sea life. If we can ban single-use plastic straws, why can’t we do the same for single-use deodorant tubes? Even if my current deo was satisfying the part of me that does everything I can to live a lifestyle separate from the toxic substances that exist all around us, it wasn’t helping me keep my plastic footprint low.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p><strong>QUICK READ: Myro sells a single re-usable deodorant case with re-fillable toxin-free pods.&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link"><strong>Shop Now</strong></a></p></blockquote>



<p>I asked my friend Eric, who’s also ditching plastics as much as he can, what he was doing about his deodorant containers. That’s when he told me about&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro</a>, which packages its deodorant in refillable cases intended to last forever. When it comes time to toss the deodorant, Eric keeps the tube and simply pops in a refill.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/IMG_4632-e1554487205718.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-17608" width="338" height="404" srcset="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/IMG_4632-e1554487205718.jpg 450w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/IMG_4632-e1554487205718-251x300.jpg 251w" sizes="(max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px" /><figcaption>Myro Re-Usable Applicator</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Everything Eric told me intrigued me, so I headed to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro’s website</a>. There, I saw a boldly colored, unusually-shaped deodorant container that looked way cooler than anything other brands offer. I also saw what a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro deodorant</a>&nbsp;refill looks like: You could mistake it for a candle if you didn’t know better, but instead, it’s a toxin-free cylinder you put in the reusable case to keep those nasty odors at bay.</p>



<p>Also, Myro’s plant based formula has no nasty ingredients like parabens, triclosan, steareths, phthalates, talc, gluten, soy, or mineral oil.<ins></ins></p>



<p>I saw an option to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">get started for just $10</a>&nbsp;with free shipping. I figured I’d give&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro</a>&nbsp;a go — if I didn’t like what I got, I could just return it with no strings attached. I clicked the button and was asked to choose from five vibrant color options that immediately got my attention. I went with the deep blue Royal case, but not before strongly considering the first option that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro</a>&nbsp;presents, a vivid red it calls Flame. I then chose the Big Dipper scent to ensure I’d always have a daily dose of lavender in my life, though the Solar Flare’s orange and sunflower almost got me. (<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro</a>&nbsp;has five scents total that appeal to both men and women.)</p>



<p>I placed my order for just $10 and received a package right at my doorstep just days later. When I tore the box open, I got to actually see the beauty of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro’s deodorant case</a>&nbsp;and experience the deodorant scent in person.<ins></ins></p>



<p>These days, I get a new scent pod every month because I’ve signed up for regular refill deliveries — I don’t have to click a bunch of links and buttons every time I need more deodorant. At this point, I’m a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro</a>&nbsp;customer forever — here’s why I’m no longer a member of the Native crew.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Myro Has Reusable Packaging and Recyclable Deodorant</h2>



<p>I know I’ve already said it, but seriously: What other deodorant company uses only reusable packaging and recyclable deodorant? Even if I was happy with my deo’s complete lack of toxic substances, I wasn’t too thrilled about disposing of another plastic tube with each used stick of deodorant. I’d also grown tired of just tossing flaky, old deodorant in the trash.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro</a>&nbsp;lets me keep my underarms clean and odor-free without the environmental burden — that’s a true eco-friendly lifestyle!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Myro Offers Imaginative, Inspiring Scents</h2>



<p>Look at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro’s</a>&nbsp;scent titles: Solar Flare. Big Dipper. Chill Wave. Pillow Talk. Cabin No. 5. It’s hard not to feel super at ease from just reading these titles, and all the scents are just as calming. After starting with Big Dipper, I tried Solar Flare, and I wound up loving them both far more than my previous deo more familiar scent options.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Myro’s Re-usable Packaging Colors Are Vivid And Energizing</h2>



<p>I didn’t quite realize until I switched to Myro how much of a difference the mere color of deodorant packaging can make in a person’s everyday life. My previous deo’s tubes were mostly white, an approach that, to me, felt clinical instead of clean. With&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro</a>, I get a stress-relieving wave of energy and a renewed feeling every time I lay eyes on the vivid blue of my Royal case. Plus, I can leave this container out in my bedroom or the bathroom without it looking messy or out of place.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Myro’s Cases Don’t Look Like Store-bought Deodorant</h2>



<p>With my old deo and store brand deodorants, it’s not so easy to just reach my hand in my bag and find my deodorant with all my other belongings. A deodorant tube is just a curved plastic thing — it feels like a bunch of other products you might have in your bag.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro’s case</a>&nbsp;has a truly unique shape which makes it super easy to grab and go. Plus, the cap screws on super tight to avoid leaks, and the case is dishwasher safe so I can clean it between refills.</p>



<p>Thanks to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro</a>, I can go about my day confident that I smell not just great, but remarkable. When I use&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mymyro.com/products/case/flame/?utm_source=peoplehype&amp;utm_medium=link">Myro</a>, I know I won’t get pit stains. Best of all, I know I’m not placing a burden on the environment by reusing the normally-wasteful plastic tube. If you’re ready to try your new favorite natural, toxin-free deodorant that has fully-reusable packaging and recyclable scent pods, order and try it now!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Julia and Joh Olson
have a gift idea that you’ll feel good about buying. The husband and wife duo
behind watch company <a href="https://www.treehut.co">Treehut
</a>offers special-edition products designed to raise money to aid the
growing worldwide water crisis.</p>



<p>Half the proceeds
from these select watch models, which range from $75 to $145, will benefit
charity: water, a global organization dedicated to providing clean water to
underserved communities. The organization uses all money donated to build wells
in regions that desperately need clean water.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/logos_bottom.png" alt="" class="wp-image-17532" width="403" height="124" srcset="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/logos_bottom.png 537w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/logos_bottom-300x92.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px" /></figure></div>



<p>The San
Francisco-based watch retailer is all but certain to raise plenty of money for
the cause: The watches in Treehut’s charity: water collection are so beautiful
that they’re impossible to forget after even a cursory glance.</p>



<p>In addition to a
family of three almost-monochrome wood watches known as the Boyd, Treehut’s
charity: water collection includes the <a href="https://treehut.co/products/charity-water-odyssey?variant=29150799855690">Odyssey</a>, which puts water front and center
both literally and figuratively. The watch’s face contains a striking blue
pattern with occasional white streaks, resembling a deep ocean or a
fast-flowing river. Driving the water pattern home is that, where the “6”
marker would normally appear on the watch’s face, a water droplet instead marks
the half-hour. As with many of Treehut’s most striking watches, the Odyssey’s
band is made of stunning dark wood that brings another natural treasure &#8212; the
depths of the forest &#8212; to mind.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/New_Watch._March.10858-Edit_89192497-4c7e-45a9-8fd6-ac873c38684f_x1000.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-17533" width="250" height="250" srcset="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/New_Watch._March.10858-Edit_89192497-4c7e-45a9-8fd6-ac873c38684f_x1000.jpg 1000w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/New_Watch._March.10858-Edit_89192497-4c7e-45a9-8fd6-ac873c38684f_x1000-150x150.jpg 150w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/New_Watch._March.10858-Edit_89192497-4c7e-45a9-8fd6-ac873c38684f_x1000-300x300.jpg 300w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/New_Watch._March.10858-Edit_89192497-4c7e-45a9-8fd6-ac873c38684f_x1000-768x768.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" /><figcaption>Treehut&#8217;s Odyssey Watch</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Treehut shoppers,
for their part, are thrilled. “Customers really love our watches!” Joh Olson
says enthusiastically. He would know a thing or two about customer
satisfaction: In addition to his work as chief operations officer of Treehut,
he doubles as a member of the Mighty Capital team, where he works with
businesses to streamline their processes and maximize their customer service
options. His goal in working with businesses is to emphasize just how paramount
customer service is to a thriving business (and he serves as an advisor and
board member to even <em>more </em>businesses
seeking to provide only the best for their customers). Treehut is evidence of
his prowess in this realm.</p>



<p>“We care about our
customers more than others, and it shows,” Joh says. Such a strong relationship
comes from within: “Care for your team,” he says, “and they will care for your
customers.”</p>



<p>Of course, it
doesn’t hurt that Treehut’s watches stand out in a crowded field, the sort of
gift perfect for the person who already has everything. Treehut’s wood watches,
such as those in its charity: water collection, are especially eye-catching,
and this should come as no surprise – just look at the company’s name. Trees
are nature’s biggest provider of wood, and to Joh Olson, the company’s name
extends far beyond just trees’ industrial use. </p>



<p>“A treehut is even
simpler than a treehouse,” he says. “It’s a symbol of a simple and pure life.”
Perhaps not by coincidence, Treehut is using its power to fund access to
perhaps the purest expression of life: water.</p>

<p>Coding is the way of the future, and <a href="https://cubroid.ca/">Cubroid Canada</a> plans to lead the way by using a toy to prepare the next generation for one of the fastest-growing occupations in the job market. </p>



<p>Cubroid Canada utilizes building blocks to teach children in second through eighth grade the fundamentals of logic-based coding, instilling programming essentials by making fun toys brought to life using a coding companion app. </p>



<p>Trevor Lamson, Cubroid’s Sales and Marketing Manager, says the brand’s early success comes from the rapid growth of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) field. </p>



<p>“STEM learning is growing by the day, and so is the need for people skilled in these fields,” he said.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/SLP_43772-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-17513" width="512" height="342" srcset="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/SLP_43772-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/SLP_43772-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/SLP_43772-1-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /><figcaption>Trevor Lamson &#8211; Cubroid Sales and Marketing Manager</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>The <a href="https://cubroid.ca/products/full-kit-cubroid">Cubroid Classroom Kit</a> allows children to build and bring to life more than 300 shapes, including dinosaurs, helicopters, and rockets, which move through sensors, motors, and other programmable components. Teachers can use these kits as part of a beginners’ robotics program or incorporate it into the current STEM curriculum. </p>



<p>Through the Cubroid app, children can activate Cubroid’s brightly-colored blocks, all of which correspond with certain sensors. The purple block has LED capabilities, the blue block has a DC motor, the green block emits sound, the orange block has motion sensing functions, and the red block reacts to light and touch. According to Lamson, Cubroid is just as fun for a big weekend playdate, with a free online learning center providing the resources parents need to lead the way at home.</p>



<p>“The Cubroid Classroom Kit is great for home use as well,” he says. “It can keep up to four students engaged at once on a learn-to-code project.” </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/cubroid_full_packagelogo.png" alt="" class="wp-image-17512" width="525" height="451" srcset="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/cubroid_full_packagelogo.png 700w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/cubroid_full_packagelogo-300x258.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px" /><figcaption>Cubroid Products</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>According to Lamson, Cubroid founder and president Chris Logan started the company to offer educators and parents a simple and easy-to-use building block set and corresponding digital interface for teaching early logic-based coding skills – all without needing a programming background. Currently, Cubroid is igniting imaginations throughout western Canada, and he predicts that eastern Canadian schools will begin implementing Cubroid’s technologies in their classrooms by early 2020. </p>



<p>Lamson said he joined <a href="https://cubroid.ca/">Cubroid</a> because he saw its potential to mix work and play in an organic way, one that would always feel like the latter and never the former. Lamson brings with him an extensive background in recruiting and marketing, helping to open doors Logan may have only knocked on before expanding his staff.</p>



<p>“At heart, I’m an entrepreneur with an in-depth knowledge of online marketing and sales,” Lamson says. “I&#8217;ve owned my own consulting business for the last seven years, and I work with an incredible network of clients, in industries including construction, technology, agriculture, and more.” </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/image000000-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-17514" width="512" height="512" srcset="https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/image000000-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/image000000-150x150.jpg 150w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/image000000-300x300.jpg 300w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/image000000-768x768.jpg 768w, https://techindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/image000000.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /><figcaption>Cubroid Mobile App</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>With Cubroid, Lamson can now add education to that “more.” Lamson finds immense fulfillment in helping companies of all sorts extend their reach, and the main lesson he’s learned from doing so for so many years could just as easily resonate with kids grappling with the unique challenge that Cubroid’s logic-based building kits present.</p>
