NEW YORK, July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As summer gets underway, many of us are looking for smart ways to simplify life. Recently, technology and lifestyle expert Stephanie Humphrey partnered with D S Simon Media for a satellite media tour to share her favorite tools to help you make the most of the season.

Mindful Connectivity with Mudita Kompakt:
For anyone looking to cut down on digital distractions and be more present, the Mudita Kompakt is a minimalist mobile phone with a distraction-free interface — no social media, just the essentials like calling, texting, and practical tools like a calendar and notes. With up to 6 days of battery life, it’s perfect for summer.
Its E Ink screen is easy on the eyes and stays readable even in bright sunlight. For travel, offline apps like navigation help save data, while dual SIM and eSIM support cut international costs.

Smarter Spending with Affirm:
With the summer shopping season in full swing, Affirm helps shoppers pay over time for tech must-haves — like headphones or gaming consoles — with no late or hidden fees. Consumers can shop with Affirm at top retailers like Amazon, Samsung, Newegg, and more.
