If you travel a lot or work remotely you’ve surely struggled with keeping connected while on the go. GL iNet’s Mudi 7 travel router solves that problem in a small but powerful package. It supports two SIM cards and an E-SIM, so you can connect to three providers, assuring maximum connectivity in most situations. The Mudi 7 enables you to use your own providers instead of sharing bandwidth in a café, co-working space or hotel, and to do so without security concerns, and you can use your VPN, too.. When not plugged in to a power source it can keep you online for around 12 hours.If you need a tethered connection it also supports Ethernet. It’s easy to manage with its screen-based interface, and its small form makes it a practical option for many.

When we’re in full on art or design week mode we always travel with a heavy duty power bank to keep our crew going through multiple full phone charges a day. While a great solution they are bulky and heavy, and often much more than what you need. Twelve South’s PowerClip sits at a specific place in the range of charging devices—its small size and light weight makes it ideal to carry on your key chain, clipped to your bag, or comfortably placed in a pocket. It is designed to deliver enough power—around a 30% charge—to ensure that you have enough to get through the rest of the day or night. It cannot charge your phone fully, though it can fully charge other items like earphones etc. It can even charge two USB C devices at the same time using its two cables, and if you are short a cable it can connect to a power source and a device.

Kelsey Plum (the Olympic gold medalist and point guard for the Los Angeles Sparks WNBA team) enjoy’s bourbon and has created Yam Jam, her own limited edition expression of Maker’s Mark as part of the brand’s Private Selection program. Featuring citrus, sweet potato, chili and toasted pecan notes, it’s available exclusively at select Los Angeles retailers. “Working with Maker’s Mark to create my own bourbon gave me a chance to take the same approach I bring to the court—thoughtful, precise, and intentional—and craft an expression that truly reflects who I am,” said Kelsey Plum. Proceeds from bottles of the first cask sold support the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation.
