Try This When It's Time for a Tech Time-Out #LiveOSOM

Do you have a "No Phone Zone" in your home? Anyone that comes into our home to visit knows that our kitchen is a phone-free zone. It always has been and it always will be that way. We come into the kitchen to eat, to talk, to clean and to replenish ourselves both physically and mentally. Tech Time-Out allowances have been made for the occasional iPod to create a little ambiance and inspiration for after-dinner chores, we have had to utilize the resources of Pinterest and even YouTube to whip up a meal or two, yet only with a solemn technology oath to be used for intended purposes only.

Thank you to the OSOMBOX Team for sponsoring this review by providing product and informational content.

Designed as a discreet box providing both a visual and physical barrier to the use of smartphones or other tech devices. With a sturdy exterior of  gray vegan leatherette finish and interior padding surrounding the inside of the box for protective safety and sound insulation, devices may be charges while stored inside of the box. Freely use your lightweight, portable OSOMBOX at home, in the car, in restaurants or as you are traveling.  Eliminating the temptation and distraction of technology, reminds us to engage and appreciate the people and moments happening in the moment.
