Mat Mist

matmist

Mat Mist is an all-natural yoga mat cleansing product that leaves your exercise accessories clean and fresh,  eliminating the need for wipe down.  This innovative product line consists of three scent combinations, created using essential oils. Each essential oil blend possesses medicinal and cleansing properties that keep yoga participants and materials healthy and sacred. Additionally, a fourth offering uses unscented Colloidial Silver, one of the most potent natural disinfectants. Each mist is offered in 2 or 4 ounce bottles that easily fit into any gym or travel bag. The product is available nationally online at (www.matmist.com), while also being sold at popular yoga spaces in California and New York.

Founder Cassie Cosgrove was tired of using vinegar, tea tree oil, and disposable towelettes to purify her yoga mat. “I couldn’t understand why there wasn’t a product that smells amazing and didn’t require wiping down”, she recalls. Therefore, she was inspired to create Mat Mist, an environmentally friendly and holistic approach to yoga mat cleansing. This product is ideal for active consumers who are on the move, travel often, and want to freshen either a personal mat or a communal mat provided by a venue.

The Complete Guide to Drones:
Whatever Your Budget
By Adam Juniper

Welcome to the world of drones! This book will
show you everything you could ever want to know
about buying and flying your first drones. From
getting to grips with the jargon you’ll need to speak
to other flyers, to how you can design and build
your own drone with advanced features like live
video feedback and programmable autopilot. You’ll
even learn how to read a sectional chart (that’s a
pilot’s map-see, you’re learning already!)

This book is your gateway to the fun (and the
learning) that awaits, and it’ll keep you safe in the
skies too.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Adam Juniper has been flying drones and model helicopters for
years, and enjoys nothing more than sharing those skills or the
videos he captures. He is active in the community — his YouTube
videos have been seen by thousands of fellow pilots. He has
authored several books including My Story: Easy Digital Tools
(9780762108893) and Photoshop Elements (9781904344230). He’s
also worked as a book publisher and professional video producer
(with a book on the subject to his name), and has written for
numerous digital creativity magazine.
