(Personally, I always prefer backpacks over shoulder bags; and Calpak's straps are wide and soft for even more comfort....Because it's Calpak, they're designed with travel days in mind. The diaper backpack has a trolly sleeve that slips over luggage handles, for instance." — Mirel Zaman, content director, health & fitness

The breathwork is particularly great for those of us who easily get distracted while meditating. It removes the stress of having to close your eyes and block out the rest of the world, which, personally, put me more at ease." — Sarah Wasilak, associate content director, commerce
