What’s a Pounce Pot?!

Imagine a little container of sandy grit ("pounce") that was used centuries ago to prepare paper to make it smoother and easier to write on—simple, practical, and incredibly helpful.

This antique writing tool created a smooth, ready surface with its grit.

And just like the grit in the old pounce pots, I'm passionate about making your life easier by smoothing out the time it takes to research the latest insights, developments, and news about vibrant longevity and active pro-aging.

The Pounce Pot continues the tradition of the antique pounce pots by preparing a smooth and ready path for healthy, vibrant living for all ages.

Here’s the pounce pot that I found on eBay. It’s plain, just wood and a simple design, but it’s so special to me.
