The crew here at The Writer's Glove, LLC, is rarely as surprised as it was today. Glamour magazine, with a circulation in the millions, featured The Writer's Glove® on its website.

The piece, 9 Essentials to Have at Your Desk If Your Office AC Is Set to Zero Degrees, by Lynsey Eidell, rounded up, well, nine essentials to have at your desk if your office is [cold]. 

While the sub-freezing limits of The Writer's Glove® have yet to be tested, it's true that many customers use The Writer's Glove® for their chilly work areas. This may have something to do with outdated temperature formulas, but that's for another day.

That Eidell felt the same way about these gloves is an enormous endorsement. It's cause for celebration around here. This is exactly why The Writer's Glove® came about in the first place: to help people be more productive when they sit down at a computer keyboard. The link between cold hands and productivity is literally in the gloves' origin story.

Here's a screen grab from the article:

Eidell included several other tips for staying warm in cold offices, too. Check them out here.

Thanks again!

Like that one spot on the couch, it's hard to give up what you're most comfortable using. Why change up a good thing?

Some people feel the same way about where they shop online. They trust the retailer to process their transaction securely, get the order out on time and generally keep them happy throughout.

I get it, too. As much as TheWritersGlove.com is a safe, secure place to do business, I know it can take a while to earn someone's trust.

That's why The Writer's Glove® is now available at several trusted online retailers. You'll get the same product, just from a different place.

Check 'em out!

• Amazon.com US (Deluxe and Standard)
• eBay
• Etsy
• Bonanza
• Kik (as part of the retail bot)
• Wanelo (Deluxe and Standard)
• Facebook

More are coming soon. Thanks for all your support!

Sometimes, a good opportunity falls in your lap, and you can't help but jump on it.

I was recently asked to participate in a silent auction to benefit Helping Paws, a Minnesota-based non-profit that "breeds, trains, and places assistance dogs with people who have physical disabilities and veterans with PTSD."

On behalf of everyone who helps The Writer's Glove, LLC, tick, I was happy to participate. If you're in the Twin Cities area, you can bid on pairs of the Deluxe Edition of The Writer's Glove. They may not be a trip to Cancun, a set of pricey golf clubs or a four-wheeler, but the world turns on everyone doing what they can to help out.

It brings to mind my favorite quote from Pres. Theodore Roosevelt: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

Indeed.

The silent auction is part of a larger event called The Tail Waggin' Dinner, which takes place Sept. 16. Details are here.
