If your office style has higher brows than Joan Crawford, the Envoy Blue Ocean Illuminated Floor Globe
might be of interest to you.
This beauty is from National Geographic’s online store, so you know it has to be extremely well made and extremely handsome. National Geographic’s legendary cartographers use a process that combines 17 layers of rich color printing with specially developed materials to create these virtually unbreakable state-of-the-art globes.
With the light off, the globe shows a wealth of political data and 5,000 place names, all printed in the patented National Geographic typeface. With the light on, the physical world is revealed with meticulously hand-drawn mountains, valleys, vegetation zones, and ocean floors.
This beautiful globe would be as magnificent in the home as it would be in the workplace. During the years I home-schooled my three daughters, this would have been an amazing resource. Actually, it would still be a great resource. While playing Trivia Pursuit, if I got one of the hateful Geography questions, I could simply announce that I had to be in the next room for a minute… I left my drink in there, I needed to pet my cat, I suddenly forgot what color my throw pillows were – you know, a fib most excellent.
Details:
- 14″ diameter
- 39″ high with walnut-finished stand
- Cord is concealed by running through the base
- Lifetime guarantee
- Comes with a certificate of authenticity and a booklet on globemaking
If you’re a little weak in the geography area or you simply want something super gorgeous in your office or home, click the following link and take a closer look: Envoy Blue Ocean Illuminated Floor Globe

I can’t even tell you how attractive the Foot Machine
above looks to my feet, legs, knees, and lower back.
Suffice to say they’re all gathering for a chorus of ooooooohs and ahhhhhhhhhhs. My arms have no idea what’s going on – they just wish they were in on the good time.
If you sit at your desk anywhere near as much as I do mine, you know what I mean when I say that the back, legs, and feet can often get stiff and achy. My biggest problem is my lower back and I’m pretty sure I have a car wreck (years ago) to at least partly thank for that.
Whether I’m working online or watching television, I’ve noticed that my lower back is much more comfortable if my feet are at least a little elevated – I guess it takes some of the pressure off of my back.
My solution, when at my desk, is to sit on my legs or sit with them folded up. Bad habit. One that only worsens the circulation and causes more stiffness.
The Foot Machine looks like it is an ideal solution for easing lower back pain at the desk. It looks like just the thing to make knees feel better too, to say nothing of the feet!
Product Description
The Foot Machine by Humanscale, with its ball bearing roller design, encourages gentle rocking of the feet in the same way a rocking chair encourages motion. Performing as a standard footrest, it provides support for the legs and relieves pressure on the lower back.
See Foot Machine for more information. Your back, legs, and feet will thank you for it. They may even serenade you – which is, frankly, kind of cool.
We have a standing family tradition in our family on Sundays – my husband can have first crack at every inch of the Sunday paper except for the circulars. Our oldest daughter and I call dibs on that prime real estate. We always wrestle over the same circulars, too…. the Target, Kohl’s, and JC Penney circulars. My husband swears he can hear cash register bells as we turn each page.
Target’s circular included, as always, a lot of mind-blowing “Must Haves.” A few things stood out – LOTS of things my kitchen is calling out for (KitchenAid, dishes, crockpots, glasses…) and some really big deals on office furniture.
