Anna Miller holding a bottle of Toprosan™ Sanitizer

A Gift that Keeps Giving:   Mother's Day Gift 2020 Creates The Sanitizer Company to Kill Covid-19 in the Coachella Valley


The Sanitizer Company - www.Sanitizer.CO was established during the 2020 pandemic.  Anna Miller received the domain name Sanitizer.co from her son as a Mother's Day gift on May 10, 2020.  Miller had been sheltering in place for 59 days when she received her son's gift.  

Without hesitation, Miller joined the fight against COVID-19.  Relying upon her technical friends for help with a website, they created a beautiful one-stop shop for Sanitizer, Moisturizer and Personal Protection.  
 
Miller, a 25+ year eCommerce entrepreneur knew how to get the ball rolling.  She contacted long-time friends and colleagues who happen to be making government certified face masks and technical support products.  They collaborated and began offering high quality protective items on the Sanitizer.CO website. 

The Sanitizer Company has been featured in the Desert Sun, on NBC Cares News Palm Springs, Palm Springs POV and on a variety of other Press related websites.  In a short time, the Coachella Valley and the USA were involved in Miller's personal fight against the Coronavirus. 

Miller met Dr. Steven Roffers in Palm Springs and he introduced her to George Sinatra of Martha's Village & Kitchen.  Within a few weeks Miller's The Sanitizer Company donated hundreds of bottles of sanitizer to Marth's Village.  

There are two homeless shelters in the Palm Springs area, and Miller's longtime connection with Well in the Desert of Palm Springs was on top of the list for face masks and sanitizer.  President Arlene Rosenthal was pleased to hear they would be receiving items to help fight the corona-virus among the homeless.

It definitely takes a village to support the "Vision - To Kill Covid-19 in the Coachella Valley."  Miller's commitment, investment and network of wonderful people will indeed make this vision a reality.  Join the Fight Against COVID-19!

Brrrr: ValueRays® Heated Mouse & Hot Gadgets Keep You Warm this Winter


Heated Mouse, Warm Mouse, Heated Mouse Image, Heated Mouse Picture, Warm Mouse Image, Warm Mouse Picture, ValueRays, Mouse Hand Warmer, Cold Mouse Hand, HeatedMouse.com
 
Heated Mice
are available in a variety of colors, sizes, shapes and designs

When it gets chilly the folks at HeatedMouse.com have just the solution for keeping you warm.  Hot gadgets plug into a USB port and generate a low volume of infrared heat using either your computer's USB port or a USB adapter plugged into a power strip or wall outlet.   The products get "warm" not hot, and provide just enough warmth to kill the chill on a cold winter morning or anytime you want to beat the shivers!


Whether you have a cold mouse hand and need a mouse hand warmer, or your feet and toes are cold and need heated slippers, HeatedMouse.com has a product just for you!

The USB heated products are developed by ValueRays®.

ValueRays® are valuable infrared heat rays, and ValueRays® have cold weather solutions for people who suffer when temperatures start to drop.

 
The ValueRays® products are designed using a carbon fiber heating element to create infrared heat.  Infrared heat is a concentrated form of heat because it heats the object and not the air around it.  This makes the ValueRays® products a valuable resource during cold weather.


Deep penetrating infrared heat soothes aching muscles and joints. It relieves tension and relaxes stiffness.  Infrared heat penetrates deeply through the skins layers to the muscle tissue.  It's perfect for people who suffer with arthritis, carpal tunnel, Raynaud's and poor circulation.


ValueRays® products were featured on CBS News: The Early Show & Fox News: Fox & Friends plus many other tech website and blogs!

If you or someone you know suffers from the cold, the ValueRays® products are something you may want to consider!  Visit HeatedMouse.com for the best selection, lowest price, FREE USA shipping and no sales tax (except California)!


ValueRays® are plug & play, no additional software is needed. They are MAC & PC compatible and work with a desk top or lap top computer.  ValueRays® make great gift ideas, are great conversation pieces and perfect for stocking stuffers! Check them out at the Heated Mouse Website.
