Keen to lose weight while you’re stuck indoors? Using a personalized one-to-one coaching plan from

Noom

is a great way to achieve that and right now, the service is offering a two-week free trial so you can see exactly how well it works for you with no financial commitment.

Noom aims to help you lose weight effectively but responsibly so that you end up healthier and fitter by the end of the plan, and by the time it’s safe to head outside again.

Noom works by encouraging new healthy habits, rather than simply getting you to lose weight rapidly through temporary changes. It’s well known that diets are not effective in helping you sustain long-term improvements to your life so Noom skips that and focused on lifestyle changes that mean you maintain a healthier and happier life for a long time to come. The service has been designed by behavioral psychologists, nutritionists, and personal trainers so that you end up with a plan that works for you and ensures you’re satisfied, as well as living a healthy lifestyle.

It works by generating a personalized calorie breakdown for your diet every day. It’s based on how you spend your day, before tracking the food you consume. That way, if you have a more physically active day, Noom adjusts to accommodate that, recognizing that you need more calories that day. It logs exercise, weight, blood pressure and blood sugar every step of the way.

You also don’t have to deal with A.I.-created notifications motivating you. Instead, during business hours, you get one-on-one health coaching from a real human being who’s skilled in personal training and knows exactly what you’re trying to accomplish. It’s ideal for keeping you motivated and keen, because everything is focused on you as an individual, rather than expecting you to slot into a cookie-cutter solution.

Alongside that, Noom also teaches you about the different forms of nutrition so you understand how what you eat affects you and why. It’s great for making you feel empowered and is far more detailed than many other fitness apps.

Noom ordinarily costs $49 per month, which sounds expensive till you consider how much a personal trainer normally costs. With a two-week free trial right now, you’re saving a lot and it’s a great opportunity to see how it works for you. Noom believes that its users can lose an average of 18 pounds in only 16 weeks if you follow the plan faithfully, so it’s a great service to try.

Best Online Glasses Deals: Save on Glasses USA, Frames Direct, more
GlassesUSA frames close up with multiple styles.

One of the best things about shopping for online glasses deals is that you're not confined or restricted to any one brand. In other words, you have a lot of options to choose from, and that means you have an even better opportunity to find the prescription, style, and features that match your needs best. Plus, there's no argument, it's so much more convenient than heading to a local eye shop or department store. You pick a pair, make your payment, and then the glasses are shipped right to your doorstep. It doesn't get any easier, or better, than that. They may not be AR glasses, offering a quick glimpse into the future, but they do protect your eyes and improve your vision, and that counts for something. But here's the rub, there are so many brands and options that things can get overwhelming fast if you don't know where to look or what you should be watching for.

GlassesUSA, one of our favorites, offers some incredible discounts and on a variety of big-name brands like Ray-Ban, Oakley, DKNY, Prada, Muse, Versace, and many more. There's FramesDirect, which similarly offers great discounts anywhere from 20% to 50% off or sometimes higher, across brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Michael Kors, Polo, Giorgio Armani, Coach, Ray-Ban and beyond. Of course, other notable places to find online glasses deals are EyeBuyDirect, Lensabl, Glasses.com, and a few others. If you're lost in the weeds, don't fret, because we're going to break all of them down in more detail for you, below.

Anker’s Eufy Video Smart Lock combines two of the best smart home devices
eufy by Anker Security Video Smart Lock installed on corner.

“This content was produced in partnership with Anker.”
Typically, a video or smart doorbell allows you to see a live feed who is at your front door and communicate with them. A smart lock allows you to remotely lock and unlock your door and track when it's opened. If you pick the right devices, they sync up so you can interact with who's at your door or let them in while you're miles away. If you have any experience with smart home devices, you know that sounds great in theory, but getting the tech to play nice is another story.

There's an easier solution: Combine devices to create one seamless security system. That's what Anker's eufy Security Video Smart Lock does. It is designed with a 2K camera, two-way voice capabilities, smart lock features with fingerprint security, and advanced Video Doorbell detection technology, all wrapped into one device.
