February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

Back to School Tech Guide Featuring Verizon, Samsung, and More! #BacktoSchool


Back to School Tech Guide Featuring Verizon, Samsung, and More!

I was given several tech items powered by Verizon and other partners for my Back to School Tech Guide. This is not a compensated post, and the opinions written belong to me and are not indicative of the brands mentioned.

A new school year is upon us! Alongside books, school supplies, new clothing, and other necessities, gadgets are also in play.

Today’s tweens, teens, and college students are poised for success—and technology can help them achieve their goals and have a little fun too. I always get a kick out of reviewing the latest and greatest electronica from favorites like Verizon and Samsung, so I am super excited about presenting this year’s Back to School Tech Guide. It’s a complete curation of technology that I feel can help enhance a student’s lifestyle.

I’ve broken my Back to School Tech Guide into three sections: tweens, teens, and college aged kids. You will also find the recommended age groups for the tech recommendations next to their rating for easy cataloging. (TW= tweens (9-12) | TE= teens (13-18) | CO= college (19 & up)

Let’s get started!

Tweens

Casio Calculator Watch, Fancy

Casio Calculator Watch

If your tween is anything like mine, then they are all about retro items that make them feel nostalgic for a time so long ago. Casio’s Calculator Watch is a throwback gadget that they will enjoy. It tells the time and acts as a calculator to help them with their Pre-Algebra homework. And at only $20, it’s pretty reasonable. Fancy.com. (TW, TE, CO) (Photo courtesy of Fancy).

Harman/Kardon Esquire Mini Wireless Speaker, Harman/Kardon

Harman Kardon Esquire Mini

My tween loves to dance to music in her room. Gone are the days of the large stereo systems and record players, so wireless speakers are trendy and fun. Your tween can use bluetooth to listen to music from any device (TV, smartphone, tablet, etc.), and jam out—after their homework is finished of course. This speaker is small but packs a punch and my daughter loves it. $149.95, Harman/Kardon. (TW, TE, CO)

KidzSafe My Design Headphones, Verizon 

KidzSafe My Design Headphones

Protecting your little one’s ears while providing them with quality sound is a priority. That is why I love these KidzSafe My Design Headphones. And because they can be personalized, come with awesome stickers for your boy or girl to decorate them. They can also change the color of the earpads, which will allow your tween to update their style. $29.99, Verizon. (TW)

Teens

Diana Mini Camera, Lomography, Fancy

Diana Mini

Instagram is a favorite social network for teens, so this 35mm Diana Mini Camera is perfect to capture shots. Get the square look of the ‘Gram with the flick of the wrist, and have them developed to hang on their wall or in their locker. Fancy.com, $59. (TE, CO) (Photo courtesy of Fancy)

Ultimate Ears Boom2 Bluetooth Speaker, Verizon

UE Boom2 Wireless Speaker

For the rocking teen that wants 360 degree sound,  full bass, and portable, UE’s Boom2 Bluetooth Speaker is a shoe-in for their fave gadget. It’s waterproof and comes in eight colors, and works with their iPod, iPhone, and iPad. $199, Verizon. (TE, CO)

Composition MacBook Skin, Amazon.com

Composition Notebook Design Protector Decal

If your teen has a MacBook, then they probably like to personalize it to their style. My daughter loves to trick hers out with different skins that are trendy, and she found this skin that is perfect for Back to School. Who can deny the power of the composition notebook and all its glory? $34.99, Amazon. (Photo courtesy of Amazon) (TE, CO)

 

HTC 10, Verizon

HTC 10 Review How Does it Stack Up

I reviewed the HTC 10 previously, and I feel that is it the perfect starter smartphone for teens who are on the move. Durable, packing a lot of battery power, and small yet sturdy, the HTC 10 is a great intro Android phone for teens and newbies. Check your carrier for pricing information, and click HERE for my full review of the device. (TE, CO)

College

Samsung Galaxy S7, Verizon

Samsung Galaxy S7 Verizon

I will be sharing a full length review on this device soon, but until then, feast your eyes on this beauty. The latest Galaxy offering continues to impress with smooth lines, lightweight, and total functionality. For busy college students, this is the perfect device. Battery life is long lasting, and the camera is crisp and exciting. Hands down one of the best phones (so far) of the year. Check your carrier for pricing information. (Photo courtesy of Samsung) (TW, CO) 

Samsung Gear S2, Verizon

The Samsung Gear S2 is an awesome companion to their Samsung phone. It’s like having a phone on your wrist! Your college student can get tweets, updates, emails, texts and more with the flick of their wrist, and they can even take calls from it too (ensuring that they never miss your call). $299 with a 2 year contract, Verizon. (CO)

Galaxy Gear S2

I hope you have found my 2016 Back to School Tech Guide useful. May your kiddos have the best school year yet!
