The AirCentric chair is made with breathable foam, and the chair offers ergonomic support and an array of customizable and adjustable features.

It seems so natural to want to indulge in sweets around the holidays.

You’ve heard of the saying “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire”? How about the fire without the smoke? If you love the idea of an outdoor fire but are looking for an eco-friendly way to do so, look into the Allusion Outdoor Fire Burner. When fueled by Real Flame, a non-toxic isopropyl alcohol gel found online and in retail stores, this design savvy piece doesn’t emit smoke or soot. Best part is it actually creates a warm yellow flame, much like a fire. For sale online for $299 through Toronto based company Develpro, [url=http://www.develpro.ca.]www.develpro.ca.[/url]
