A winner for design at the recent NY NOW tradeshow-Airinum Urban Air masks  are sellouts. Seriously. Available (in quotes, here) in XS-L -these Swedish designed masks have replaceable filters that snap in (easy enough)...to provides protection from what ails OTHER PEOPLE. Note: Packaged like a rather chic Apple product (hence it's carried by MOMA design store)...we wouldn't be surprised if someone just snaps this company up. Comes with adjustable ear loops and a head strap, in three color choices $69 (plus limited edition selections  $99)...and delivers with a travel bag-and two FIVE LAYER filters. Filter slides in on back-and two snaps cover air holes to death through. FYI...comfy. Certified to protect vs. PM 2.5- designed is to filter out invisible particles of air pollution (too), plus allergens like dust and bacteria. https://www.airinum.com BONUS POINTS: Member of 1% For The Planet via GIPHY

We arrived a bit late (night owls that we are) but got there just in time for the smart repartee of Sarah Brown…a savvy journalist and commanding moderator. Interesting, to us- her shared attitudes on needing to feel a head full of lather when she washes her hair (and the not exactly healthy for the environment/body chemicals to get all those bubbles) represents the typical American---used to copio...

Jablow, it turns out-uses The Natural Dentist Healthy Gums Daily Mouth Rinse that’s “less harsh than Listerine” but works. In fact, a giganto pump bottle was at the ready in the exam room. Since we think the world of this Doctor’s opinion, we decided to test drive some of The Natural Dentist’s products ourselves.
