Have you ever imagined how much you can jump vertically? You might have known this during your school time jumping measurement but not now. If you want to stay fit after your school days’ practices, jumping is very essential. But be aware that you might not be equipped with proper measuring equipment. BigTimeDaily team had a talk with professional jumpers about their jumping measurements. Most of them suggested a simple method named, best vertical jump program to measure vertical jump at home, which they follow during their practice.

They told us to first of all find a smooth wall that is high enough for your jump. The wall should be straight with no baseboard, to avoid potential injury and to get an accurate measurement. The jumpers suggested us not to buy any special equipment, but you need two items that you mostly use in your house. You just need a measuring tape and a roll of tape. If you don’t have these items at your home, your nearest store would provide you the same.

The jumpers told that the jump measurement is a process which should be followed. First of all, stick a piece of tape on the wall at as much height as you can without being on your tippy-toes. Then take another piece of tape and stick it on your middle fingertip. Further, take a vertical jump with full-body strength and try to stick the finger tape on the wall. Once you have stuck the finger tape on the wall, measure the distance between both the tapes, this is your vertical jump height. Click here to know more about vertical jump program.

According to the professional jumpers, the average vertical jump for men is about 15 -20 inches. For a man, a jump more than 25 inches is considered as a great vertical jump. While for women, the average vertical jump is about 12-15 inches and the jump more than 20 inches is considered a great jump for women.

What happens when two immensely talented visionaries come together to create elegance and ingenuity in a sculptural glass fragranced candle? Dreamour. That is the long and short version of how Dreamour was created. Founded by Karissa Rowe and Neal Klotsman in late September 2022, Dreamour was founded with the goal of creating a luxury fragrance brand that operates at the intersection of functional art in the candle market space.

Rowe, a Parsons School of Design graduate, set out to fill the niche of integrating design in the candle marketplace. Unlike most candle vessels that are mass-produced, Dreamour’s founders desired to prioritize the artisanal craftsmanship of glass in their production processes of the sculptural glass designs. This resulted in a long timeline of sourcing the globe for talented glass artisans who could transform a sketch into a functional and sophisticated candle vessel. Each and every candle vessel is hand-blown, inherently resulting in a one-of-a-kind product and unique experience for the consumer. These functional fragrant candles also act as a piece of décor due to its sculptural and alluring appearance.

Sweet Vinyl, Dreamour’s first candle scent, fills the room with musky & leathery notes combined with earthy notes of vetiver and cypriol, topped with a citrus touch of bergamot and mandarin. The founders worked with master perfumers in Grasse, France, to create a scent that invoked notes of memorable moments, emphasizing high quality ingredients in the fragrances in a soy wax blend. This resulted in candles that consist of clean ingredients, a vegan formula, and is entirely cruelty-free.

It is the personification of the glass blowers’ spirit, the heart of Grasse imprisoned in a bottle, and the narrative of two visionaries that sets Dreamour at the top of the candle market pedestal. Dreamour embodies the sophistication and savior-faire French perfumery as a luxury brand, while being a NYC based brand. Dreamour is currently stocked at Patron of the New in New York, along with other major designer luxury known brands. Rowe and Klotsman are currently expanding their production lines and will drop new fragrances and designs in early 2023. Don’t expect anything ordinary with Dreamour, as they will continue to bring a unique perspective to the marketplace of home fragrances.
