These self-care gifts will help you start the new year in greater health

CELLF

Cellular performance supplements that actually work

There are a lot of supplements making all sorts of promises out there, but — almost to our dismay — CELLF actually works. A daily supplement gel that promises to "cleanse the cobwebs" out of your nervous and cardiovascular systems, it's intended to improve brain function, and you'd be surprised by how well it does that.

Bowflex SelectTech 840 Kettlebell

An adjustable kettlebell for a whole-body workout

While there are a lot of kettlebells out there, usually you're limited to having a single weight, which limits your workout options. The Bowflex SelectTech 840 solves that by providing an adjustable weight range. This allows you to enjoy a wide range of workouts with a single piece of equipment that will take up much less storage space.

Runhood power station.

Runhood Modular Power Station

Swappable, variable, portable power

Runhood has created a portable solar power station that's unique in its product class not only because it features swappable batteries, but also because each of these batteries offers a different power delivery capacity. This makes it easy to avoid carrying more weight than you need. For example, if you just need a little bit of extra juice on the go, the smallest "Engine" will allow you to carry less. If you'll be using larger tools or appliances, on the other hand, you can swap out for the larger battery. Engines come in three sizes, ranging from 324 watt hours to 1,296 watt hours. Runhood reached its crowdfunding goal, closed its campaign, and will be shipping products soon. See on Indiegogo

Man Treating Acne Scars

Ugh, acne. Is there anything more annoying than having clear skin one second, then breaking out with pimples overnight? As a pre-teen who regularly broke out with bumps, zits, and sores, I feel as though I’m only just now getting over the traumatic toll these blemishes caused me.

Yep, although I’ve finally figured out how to treat and take care of my skin, I’m left with the ghosts of pimples' past. Though I wish I could say I’m not bothered by them, I have to admit that I am.

Remember 2020, when life went virtual and everything from morning huddle-ups to happy hours shifted to Zoom? It's been a while (thankfully). It certainly had its drawbacks — mainly, many humans crave in-person interactions and socialization by nature. However, there was a hidden bonus: You didn’t have to deal with anyone’s bad breath or worry that someone else was dealing with yours.

Bad breath, also called halitosis, is an annoying condition. It happens to the best of us. Common causes of bad breath include eating certain foods, such as fish or something seasoned with garlic. More than pesky, it can also be embarrassing and lower self-esteem, according to one study. Sometimes, bad breath can even be a sign of something more concerning.
