The Most Expensive (but Healthiest) Sleeping Bag Ever

It might look scary (like a body bag that was too short for the victim) but this tinfoil-like sleeping bag has a lot going on that you might want to try. It's part of the Oxygen Detox System from 02 Planet, which claims to relax you, increase energy, and slow the signs of aging by detoxing and oxygenating your body. The system provides a steam sauna, water jets for massage, oxygen misting therapy, and this infrared sauna blanket. Gotta have the incredible O2 Planet Oxygen Detox System? Lucky you, it's on sale right now for just $4,595.

Technogym Kinesis Gold Edition Home Gym

I've seen golden dumbells before but never an entire gold home gym. Technogym has unveiled a Gold Edition version of their Kinesis equipment, a home gym that is mounted to the wall and lets you do around 200 different exercises without taking up a lot of floor space. The machine helps strengthen the main muscle groups and improve flexibility and balance. The gold look is applied with gold foil. The machine costs around 10,000 euros and is also available in other finishes.

Sprayology

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

A few weeks ago, we saw a perfume that promised to be, essentially, happiness in a bottle. Sprayology is something similar. It is a series of homeopathic sprays that are engineered to help "the body replenish its resources and function at optimum levels to meet the daily challenges of [life]." There are 20 sprays that rejuvenate, restore ,and relieve, as well as 4 relieving vitamin sprays. All are administered by spritzing under the tongue, where they can supposedly be absorbed quickly. And speaking of things happening quickly, sprayology sounds like something that could catch on at any moment in Hollywood. Judging from the testimonials, it might be on its way.

Keep in mind that although the company throws around the phrase "FDA approved," that doesn't necessarily mean that any of their products do what they promise to do. One thing that they will definitely do, however, is make you feel like you're doing something good for your body, and sometimes a little of that can go a long way.

Vibrate Yourself Skinny

I once went to a gym that had those old machines where you would strap a vibrating belt around your waist to whittle your middle. It seemed so antiquated but the idea that you can vibrate your way to thinness is back in a big way. The new version is called Whole Body Vibration and promises all the benefits of real exercise in just 10 minutes a few times a week. You stand on a steel plate and receive strong vibrations which are supposed to do increase bone density and muscle tone as well as help reduce cellulite. The newest place to check this out is the Z Med Spa in Pasadena, California. The owner has a new blog documenting her success with the machine. The machine can also be found in some gyms and can be bought for home use. You can buy a personal one on eBay for $3,500.

X-Tray Planter

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

I wouldn't ordinarily expect wheatgrass to be stylish in any form, other than as a part of whatever the diet du jour is, but the X-Tray actually changed my mind. The ceramic pots can be arranged in a straight line or an X shape and come with a growing kit that only takes 6 days to work! I don't know about your gardening efforts, but anything that grows easily and in less than a week sounds promising to me. Even if you don't bother juicing and drinking the wheatgrass, there is no reason that you can't keep this as a mini garden indoors. Especially if you're a city apartment dweller! Price: £59.50.
