It’s a weird feeling, like seeing your housecat getting fed by a neighbor while you’re out on a walk. Sometimes we see our own things being sold for a better price than we paid for them due to a Cyber Monday deal. Such is the case with me and my Gel-Cumulus 24 running shoes. My running shoes are comfy, springy, a tad underused, on sale, and an additional 25% off after that due to Asic’s Cyber Monday sale. Originally $130, the Gel-Cumulus 24 are down to just $90 today. Then, when you apply the 25% off discount by using the code ‘CYBER’ at checkout, they drop down further to just $67. That’s a total savings of $63, and enough to make me jealous. Tap the button below to see them for yourself, or keep reading to see why I like them so much.

Why you should buy the Gel-Cumulus 24

My reasoning behind liking the Gel-Cumulus 24 comes down to a combination of function and style. The Gel-Cumulus 24 are lightweight, as the name suggests, yet have thicker padding (in select places) than any previous shoe I’ve ever had, especially on the rear of the shoe where your heel slides in. This results in a continuous comfort and solid construction that I have confidence will last. Finally, the Gel-Cumulus 24 have a springy bounce to them that, and it could be totally psychological, makes me want to keep putting one foot in front on the other.

I admit, I also like the Gel-Cumulus 24 for their style. Most men’s shoes are painfully boring looking. It seems that they come in pure black, pure white, or that you-got-an-F-on-this-paper red over 90% of the time. The Gel-Cumulus 24 have a combination of gray, silvery white, and blue to their top and an accent of bright orange along the bottom. In other words, they’re somewhat eye-catching compared to the average boring shoe you see in the store.

To get your own pair of Gel-Cumulus 24 for just $67, tap the button below. That’s $63 less than the standard $130 that I paid. All you need to do is add the code ‘CYBER’ to get the additional discount, which applies on top of already discounted items. But to get this deal, you’ll have to act soon. First, Cyber Monday ends soon. Secondly, there are only a select few sizes left, so make sure you get to the sale in time to get the right running shoe size.

From wheelchair to walking: The power of mindset, movement, and never giving up

Sometimes it's the hardest roads that lead us to a deeper sense of purpose

Steph Zee Christmas Secret Music Video Steph Green

I never expected I'd have to learn how to walk again. That journey took me from writing for doctors and magazines to spending thousands of hours researching health and autoimmune disease. When we have excellent health, many of us don’t give it much thought until those sneaky symptoms start to show, and one day it all comes crashing down. Now, our health becomes one of the most important priorities. When we feel good, we can be more productive and chase our dreams. When our health declines and we don’t feel so good, one of our biggest dreams is just to feel better.

I became a health writer 12 years ago, shortly after graduating with my creative writing degree and getting a diagnosis of the autoimmune bone condition, ankylosing spondylitis. In an effort to improve my health, stay mobile, and help prevent my bones from calcifying and fusing, I spent thousands of hours studying everything from nutrition and naturopathy to conventional medicine and holistic healing. I heard this somewhere, so I can’t take credit, but I like to say I went to “save my ass university”, because pain and illness are some of the biggest motivators.

I tried Magic Mind for a month and here is what happened to my productivity

Does Magic Mind really help with your productivity or is it just another buzz.

Furniture, Business Card, Paper

I am proudly an all-brown beverage man. I say it often: I am coffee in the morning, bourbon in the evening, and Pepsi/Coke in between. I know what you're thinking: What about water? Well, all of those are mostly water. And who wants to drink the same thing they bathe in? That sounds gross. All jokes aside, the coffee addiction is real, and I am not alone. Who thinks they can truly conquer a day without a hard shot of caffeine? I would get it in an IV if it were feasible to do on the subway instead of a cup to go. But that doesn't have to be the only way you develop your productivity. Instead, you can look to the more natural and healthy methods to maintain and increase your effectiveness. I got my hands on some Magic Mind recently, one of the many different products that claim to elevate brain health, increase mental performance, and, of course, replace the coffee without losing the energy boost. But does it work?

NOBULL debuts new colorways for daily running shoe, Journey 2

Four new colorways just dropped for NOBULL's best-selling Journey 2 sneaker

NOBULL

NOBULL's Journey 2 sneaker is one of my favorite go-to sneakers for the gym (and my husband's, too). There's really something to be said about a sneaker that adds comfort, style, and durability to your gym outfit. I've been wearing these weekly for awhile now -- but now NOBULL has dropped even more fun colors in the same comfortable show. Just in time for the summer, NOBULL just dropped four new colorways in the Journey 2, including Classic White Cayenne, Classic White Signal Pink, Lunar Mineral White, and Blue Haze. These fun, vibrant colors add a touch of color to every gym outfit.

With a plate-less design, Journey 2 delivers a naturally smooth, cushioned ride. A multi-surface outsole provides reliable grip across varied terrain, while NOBULL’s unique stability chassis keeps your foot locked in through every stride and transition, so you can move freely wherever the miles take you. While I'm not usually one to make a statement with my athletic footwear, I have to admit I'm pretty excited about the drop of these new colors. The four new colors join the line up that still includes the classic colors, such as Classic White, Jet Black, and Molten.
