Whoa! This Band Turns Any Watch into a Smartwatch

We’re over here waiting on pins and needles for the upcoming Apple Watch, but to be honest, we’ve kind of grown attached to our current timepieces. You know, the ones with hands that go around in circles. Of course we like the idea of running our lives from our wrists and upping our wearable game, but there’s something kinda nice about the simplicity of one of the very first wearables that we’ve come to know and love — the analog watch. Thankfully, we don’t have to say goodbye to it just yet and we can still give it some rad tech functions to ease us right into the wearable world.

Meet the Kairos T-Band. It’s a band designed to work with any analog watch. It brings all of your favorite fancy wearable tech functions right to the band, leaving your favorite watch face to tick away as always.

There’s a ton you can do with the Kairos T-Band.

Get Notifications: Get alerted about new texts, emails, incoming calls and more. For messages, the T-band will show you what the message says and who sent it. You can also enable the band to receive push notifications from your favorite apps — including Google maps. Score.

Use It As a Remote: Seriously? Yes, seriously. You can use your T-band to control your smartphone or tablet which means you can use it to snap a group picture from far away, start and stop your music, send pre-set texts and even start your car.

Track Your Fitness: Kairos collaborated with the team at Misfit for the fitness functions in the band so you know they’re going to be rad. Without having to buy a whole separate fitness wearable, you can track your steps, calories and sleep. One version of the band will even have the capability to track your health data with a GSR (galvanic skin response) sensor. The band will connect with fitness apps on your phone too.

It looks like the Kairos T-Band won’t be released until at least later this year (ugh, seriously?), but when it is, there will be three different models. One with a little LED indicator light, one with a letters/numbers only digital display, and one with a full color display like what you see on your smartphone. Both screen options will be enabled with touch sensors too. Battery life is two to three days on all of them. You can pre-order yours now.

We've probably all been on a bad date, but I'll bet none of us have had a date quite like Drop. In the movie (out April 11), Violet (Meghann Fahy) goes out with Henry (Brandon Sklenar), but when she starts receiving threatening drops to her phone, the cute first date morphs into a mission to survive the night. Okay, that's pretty intense. And if things ever got crazy IRL, Meghann says she'd want to stick with Brandon.

Here's what Meghann Fahy said about 1923 star Brandon Sklenar, and her best advice for a bad date. Plus, whether Brandon would do a rom-com!

Meghann Fahy trusts Brandon Sklenar's survival skills.

Brandon Sklenar and Meghann Fahy are electric onscreen in Drop, and Meghann admits if she found herself in the same situation as Violet, Brandon would be her first call. "If sh—t went down, he'd be a good guy to be with," she tells Brit + Co exclusively. "I feel like you got some real survival skills."

"I could do a couple of things, but most of that I learned from my friends of mine who are even gnarlier than me," he says. "I take little credit. I mean, you learn everything from somewhere, right?"

"I mean, I'm pretty good with like hand to hand combat," he continues, before Meghann tells him he's good at intimidation and he quite literally goes, "Grr, scary face. Spooky." I'm still giggling about it.

And Meghann Fahy has some great advice for a bad date.

But a nightmare date doesn't have to be literally life-threatening, and Meghann shares some of her best advice for anyone who finds themselves on a bad date. "When in doubt, ask someone else a question," she says.

"I think if you're on a bad date and you realize 'I'm probably not gonna end up with this person,' just try to enjoy yourself anyway and make it about just trying to connect with somebody," Brandon adds. "Just just get to know somebody for the sake of getting to know someone."

When it comes to ice breaker questions and conversation starters, Meghann loves "a final meal [question] like last meal, appetizer, main, dessert, drinks, sides, the whole bit."

"What did you want to be when you were really little growing up?" Brandon adds. "Dream scenario." (Let the record show Brandon has admitted he loved Batman growing up, and he's a leading fancast for the DCU. I'm totally here for it).

Brandon Sklenar says "never say never" to starring in a rom-com one day.

Drop might be a thriller (and a dang good one), but I've also been referring to it as a scary rom-com because of how incredible Brandon Sklenar and Meghann Fahy's chemistry is, but would Brandon ever do a real rom-com?

"It's possible. I'm not saying no, but it's possible," he teases. "I'd love to do a comedy at some point. Everything I have in the future is very far from, and very far from romance, but I'd say it's possible. Yeah, never say never."

As far as his dream comedy goes, Brandon tells Brit + Co, "I love Peter Sellers and I love like Chevy Chase movies. I'm like I'm a very physical guy and I'd love to be able to do something just absurd like grounded but completely absurd."

Is Meghann Fahy in a relationship?

Yes, Meghann Fahy is dating Leo Woodall, who starred with her in The White Lotus season 2.

What is the age difference between Leo Woodall and Meghann Fahy?

Meghann Fahy is 34 years old and was born on April 25, 1990. Leo Woodall, who was born on September 14, 1996, is 28 years old. There's a six year age difference between them.

The White Lotus' Chelsea and Rick are together forever — or at least, that’s what we thought. Rumors are swirling that The White Lotus cast members Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins are feuding IRL after the season finale. Why exactly does the internet think the duo are no longer the best of friends? We did some very important sleuthing to find out.

Here's everything we know about those Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins feud rumors.

They Don’t Follow Each Other On Instagram (Anymore?)

According to this Reddit thread, the pair unfollowed each other on Instagram a couple weeks ago. There’s some speculation that Goggins blocked Wood on the social media platform, due to the fact her activity on his profile (comments and likes from previous posts) have mysteriously disappeared. Comments from Goggins, however, are still available to view on Wood’s posts.

The second hint that something bad is afoot comes from Walton’s Instagram. The actor seemingly posts pictures with Aimee, but doesn’t tag her account like he does the other cast members. One example being this carousel post surrounding the finale, in which nearly every cast member is tagged but Aimee.

The second example being this emotional ode to his and Wood’s characters, which again, leaves out Aimee’s tag. However he did give her her flowers in the post by writing, “Thank you Aimee Lou for being my partner…a journey I will never forget.” So that one may be a bit of a leap.

​Apparently, Walton Skipped The 'White Lotus' Finale Party

Goggins was also missing at the finale party, where the majority of the cast, including Aimee, watched the last episode together. The Sex Education actress told The Hollywood Reporter that she “was sad that Walton wasn’t there because it was something that we did together, but also it’s so f—king Rick and Chelsea.”

She added, “Like, of course Walton had to watch it alone and of course I had to watch it in the group because there is so much Aimee in Chelsea and so much Walton in Rick.”

​Jason Isaacs Confirmed Behind-The-Scenes 'White Lotus' Cast Drama

In conjunction with all of this circumstantial Instagram evidence, Jason Isaacs did insinuate there was drama behind-the-scenes. The Harry Potter actor recently told Vulturein an interview, “Some people got very close, there were friendships that were made and friendships that were lost.” So, we’ll let you do with this information what you will. At least we'll always have Rick and Chelsea in our (broken) hearts.

Creamy Vegan Risotto With Asparagus and Quinoa

Quinoa is technically a seed, not a grain, so many people give it the seal of approval on Passover. Use it to concoct this risotto, which gets its creamy texture from a purée of roasted cauliflower, beans, and almond milk. However, if you are avoiding beans, just sub in more cauliflower.
