Smartwatches have helped provide deeper insight into daily lifestyles by allowing users to track how many steps they take or quickly check texts from friends. While Apple Watch deals may be tempting to jump on, Garmin has just released a new version of its popular Venu smartwatch that’ll have you rethink which tech accessory you want to wear on your wrist.

The Garmin Venu 3 was released on Wednesday (Aug. 30) and has been upgraded with new features that’ll not only keep track of your daily distance, but will be able to tell when you’ve napped and how it impacts your energy for the rest of the day. As a more evolved feature, the latest model includes wheelchair mode, which can track the number of pushes rather than steps you take in a day. Plus, you won’t have to worry about charging it often as it’s designed to last up to 14 days without a charge.
You can choose between the Venu 3 or the Venu 3S — a smaller version of the Venu 3 that offers improved sleep tracking — depending on your needs and style preferences.
You can shop the new release now at Best Buy or below.

Much has been written about the benefits of a weighted blanket, which millions of people swear by to help them fall asleep each night. But the bulky blankets can get understandably heavy, and a thick, full-sized covering doesn’t always feel the most comfortable in the balmy summer months.

Fortunately, we’ve found a great weighted blanket alternative on Amazon, with a number of companies introducing weighted heating pads. As the name suggests, a weighted heating pad uses pressure and heat to help ease cramps, muscle soreness, tension and stress.
This one, from the wellness brand OCOTRO, is one of the best-reviewed weighted heating pads online, with more than 70% of users giving it a full, five-star review. At just $27.99 right now, it’s an easy pick up to help with stress relief and recovery.

Weighted Heating Pad for Back Pain Relief
$27.99 $29.99 7% OFF
The pad weighs just over 2 pounds, with tiny weighted beads set inside 32 “grid pockets.” Because the beads are stitched into individual grids, the weight is evenly distributed throughout the pad, with no worries about any beads sliding around.
Four different temperature settings let you adjust the heat to your desired level, with a range of 95 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Measuring 12 x 24 inches (about the size of a hand towel), this heat pad is easy to use and lets you wrap it around your legs and shoulders, or set it on your waist and back. The plush microfiber material is soft and cozy, while staying super breathable; it’s machine-washable too.
This set gets you the weighted heat pad and a seven-foot-long power cord with an attached remote control to adjust settings. Built-in safety settings prevent overheating, and the heating pad will automatically shut off after two hours (most reviewers say they use it for 15-20 minutes at a time).
If you’re looking for a way to ease muscle tension, back aches, cramps, bloating or just everyday stress, you’ll want to try a weighted heating pad. An Amazon deal gets you this best-selling weighted heat pad for just $27.99 right now. See full details here.
Ashley Tisdale detailed her struggle with alopecia in a new social media post on Wednesday (Jan. 11).
“In my young twenties, I noticed that there was, like, a little bit of a bald spot right at my hair line,” the High School Musical star said in the video. “And I asked my hair colorist, ‘What is that?’ And she was like, ‘Oh, that’s alopecia.’ I didn’t even know what that was.
After receiving an official diagnosis from her dermatologist, the actress learned the condition is “autoimmune, and a lot of it’s triggered by stress.”
“Any type of hair loss can affect your self-esteem, especially if you feel like you’re the only one going through it. That’s why I want to talk about it openly—because it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes it’s connected to hormones, other times to heredity, and for me, it’s connected to stress overload,” Tisdale added in the caption of the post.
The “Love Me & Let Me Go” singer went on to share a few of the solutions that have helped her deal with alopecia over the years, from stress management techniques like yoga, meditation and therapy to using platelet rich plasma and investing in the auto-immune paleo diet.
Back in August, the Disney Channel alum stepped back into the shoes of Sharpay Evans for a TikTok recreation of “I Want It All” from High School Musical 3, co-starring social media personality Chris Olsen in lieu of her co-star Lucas Grabeel.
