Arboretum House

Perfect for Portland's reuse/recycle ethos, the Arboretum House sees an unremarkable hillside house transformed into a modern, angular home. While the original roofline was held over from the former layout, new vertical slot windows provide far more light to reach the interior. An open-plan joins the living, dining, and kitchen together, while views from inside provide a forest feel. Rough sawn cedar walls provide a feeling of warmth while connecting with the original oak parquet floors that were given a white transparent finish for a more contemporary look. The home is finished with a deck that integrates one of the site's many trees directly into the design.

MySweetSmile Teeth Whitening System

There are hundreds of at-home whitening kits out there. But that bright smile comes at a price; irritated gums, damaged enamel, and mind-numbing pain. That's because their main ingredient is hydrogen peroxide. MySweetSmilesets itself apart from the pack by eliminating that harmful element and swapping it out for a safer, more gentle option. The 100-percent peroxide-free at-home MySweetSmile teeth whitening products are made with Phthalimidoperoxycaproicacid, or PAP, an organic peracid that effectively breaks down stains and yellowing without affecting soft tissue or the mineral composition of teeth, so you never fear an icy beverage again. It's used in the brand's non-abrasive powder to brush away stains, sensitivity-free strips for removing a years-worth of build-up, and precision pen to whiten hard-to-reach areas. Each product can be purchased on its own or bundled to save up to 20%.

Giesswein Merino Runners

Wool isn't just for sweaters. Giesswein takes the age-old fabric and transforms it into a performance sneaker. The Merino Runners features a sock-like upper made from Merino wool with 3D Stretch technology, providing flexibility and durability. Naturally odor-resistant, the material won't smell, so going sockless is encouraged, and its thermal-regulating properties keep feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It's mounted on an EVA sole that's lightweight and flexible and is ribbed for traction, while an interchangeable footbed provides cushion to support miles on the pavement.
