Japanese Ofuro soaking tubs are a traditional wellness concept that relaxes one person in soothing hot water as part of a centuries-old daily bathing ritual designed to cleanse the body and calm the spirit. The walls of the traditional ofuro are high to allow the occupant to be fully submersed providing heat to the neck and shoulders which often hold stress and muscle tension. This stainless steel tub from Hammacher and Schlemmer has quality features including individually handcrafted construction in the U.S. of 14-gauge 304-grade stainless steel with 18% chromium composition, hand-buffed 3" thick double-walled metal tub which warms quickly, and eighteen air jets built into the seat and sides to provide streams of water that massage and soothe. 71 1/2" L x 48" W x 45 1/2" H. 500 lbs.

The Himalayan Crystal Salt Bowl Lamp does more than brighten up a room and look good, this cool little salt lamp is a natural air purifier as well. Salt, when heated releases negative ions that remove pollen, dander, smoke, bacteria, mold, and odors from the air that often add to sinus and allergy problems. The low lighting and vibrant color also make for a soothing mood lamp or night light. The Himalayan Crystal Salt Bowl Lamp is hand carved from a block of natural crystal salt mounted on a hardwood base and filled with salt stones. 7" Dia 7" H 8 lb. 7-watt bulb 6' Cord. $60 Get It Here
When it comes to wellness, our moods can have a great impact on how our body and mind performs. Depending on your circumstances, it may be appropriate to consider a mood lamp to help with some of the challenges in your life. The HappyLite from Verilux is designed as a "pick me up" that is very simple. The unit simulates natural sunshine without damaging UV rays. Sunshine is important in creating Vitamin D in the body as well as creating a better mood for us. In winter months where sunshine may be limited, this little mood light can help. Studies show that depression increases in people when there is continual darkness or lack of substantial sunlight. Another use is for offices that do not have windows where HappyLite can provide that "ray of hope". HappyLite is intended to be used for 20-30 minutes per day to create the sensation of sunshine. Size: 4" x 5 ½" x 12". Price: $90. Buy product: here.
This product form Hidden Groove is quite intriguing. It is a small home gym that is great for smaller spaces such as apartments, lofts, flats, or homes where there is not a lot of extra space. Many people I know have had to move out exercise equipment as the rooms they occupied were needed for children, relatives, or a home office. The home gym from Hidden Groove is a nice wall unit that conceals a treadmill and weight bench. There are six different models available so that you can select which exercise equipment is right for you. I hope to see more home gyms such as this reach the market in the next few years. We have had Murphy beds for years so why not hidden home gyms? Price range: $1,499 - $3,499. Product: here.
