1. Workout of the Week: Rock-Solid Butt

The benefits of strength training are endless, from reducing your risk of osteoporosis to increasing your resting metabolic rate. Incorporate it into your workout routine, starting with weighted glute bridges. Sit with your back against a bench, legs bent and a barbell right above your hips. Complete one repetition by driving through your heels, contracting your glutes and lifting the weight vertically until your hips are parallel to the floor. And we’ve got more great weight-lifting exercises for you.  [Swirled]

2. Life Hack Of The Day: Flowers Edition

Preserve the life of your flowers by pouring a little 7UP in the vase with the water.


3. What to Watch: “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”

You’ve probably remember “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” but what you may not know is that the classic show was recently revived — and in a much darker way. Forget the funny, light-hearted storyline you loved when growing up, and get ready for an entirely new take on what it’s like living as a half-mortal, half-witch teen in Greendale. As Sabrina overcomes challenges, she strengthens her powers and her ability to live in both realms, but she’s still uncovering secrets — some of which she may have been better off not knowing.

4. What to Read: “Bluets” by Maggie Nelson

Maggie Nelson delves deep into her obsession with the color blue in her lyrical exploration, “Bluets.” Not only does blue take her over, but she’s molded her life around it. There are a few things — and people — that keep her hooked on the hue, but no matter the reason, she’ll take you with her through her thoughtful meditations. By the end, you might just be hooked, too. [Amazon]

6. R&R: Pumpkin Face Mask

A pumpkin face mask will hydrate, nourish and refine your skin in all of the right ways. Combine mashed avocado, pureed pumpkin pulp and ground pumpkin seeds, and lather a thick, even layer across your skin. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, rub it around in circular motions to benefit from the pumpkin seed exfoliant, rinse it off and enjoy your pumpkin-inspired glow. [Swirled]

8. What to Drink: Russell’s Reserve Whiskey

Aged in deep No. 4 “alligator” char American white oak barrels (sounds intense, we know), Russell’s Reserve is a single-barrel bourbon that’s bottled at 110 proof. It’s non-chill filtered (which means less fuss goes into it) and has a smooth, rich and creamy coffee and vanilla taste. The bourbon also clocks in with an ABV of 55 percent. Don’t miss our other favorite whiskeys that aren’t Jack. [Swirled]
