Weekend Edition

1. R&R: Herbal Facial Steam

Treat your skin to the ultimate herbal facial steam. Grab a handful of dried herbs and mix them in a small bowl. Then, boil water in a tea kettle and pour it into the bowl. Drape a towel over your face so you can trap and absorb all that good steam until you feel the water getting cold. Ahhh… [Swirled]

2. Workout of the Week: Killer Posture

Worried about your posture? Focus on strengthening your back, chest and neck muscles, starting with chin tucks. Begin in a seated or standing position with your shoulders rolled back and down. While looking straight ahead, place two fingers on your chin, slightly tuck your chin and attempt to draw your head directly back without tilting it up or down. Hold for two to three seconds and return to the starting position. [Swirled]


3. What to Watch: “Elite”

Who doesn’t love a good teen drama?  Here’s the rundown: Three less affluent teens are given scholarships to a private school in Spain. Drama and a murder ensue as they navigate the world of their wealthy peers. Who did it? You’ll have to watch to find out. If you love “Gossip Girl,” “Riverdale” or “Pretty Little Liars,” this show’s for you. And even if you like something a little more mature, we bet you’ll still dig it. [Netflix]

4. What to Read: “An Absolutely Remarkable Thing” by Hank Green

April May is working insanely long hours at a startup one day and is internet famous the next, all thanks to a random robot statue that showed up on 23rd Street in New York City. In the months that follow, April struggles to juggle relationships, money and social media while also solving the mystery that is the statue. Could it be extraterrestrial? Some think the world is in danger, but maybe she’ll end up a hero that goes down in the history books instead. [Amazon]

5. App Of The Week: TeuxDeux

TeuxDeux is the app that’ll make you more productive every week. Between the easy swipe to check things off, customizable colors, linkable tasks, flying cat (yup) and more, you’ll truly enjoy making to-do lists and getting stuff done with it. [Swirled]

6. Life Hack Of The Day: Measurement Edition

Need to measure something but don’t have a ruler? Use a dollar bill, which is 6 inches long.

7. What to Eat: Zesty Chicken Salad

Be on top of your health game this weekend without compromising on flavor by making zesty chicken salad. Packed with lean protein, healthy fats from the avocado and olive oil and tons of colorful veggies like cherry tomatoes, red onion and spinach, this salad is like a fiesta in your mouth. [Swirled]

8. What to Drink: Apple Soju Cocktail

Have an apple soju cocktail in hand throughout the cold months. The sweetness of the apples and the sweetness of the soju are a complimentary duo. This apple soju cocktail has Pink Lady or Granny Smith apples, soju, chilled tonic water and lime. And once you cut the apple into matchstick-sized pieces, you have an edible mixing tool on your hands, too. [Swirled]

9. Dream Destination: Acadia National Park

Acadia National Park is home to one of Maine’s most thrilling hikes: Beehive Trail. Trekking the short but strenuous path up to the summit requires great balance on the side of a cliff, rock scrambling and the ability to pull yourself up by iron handrails. [Swirled]

10. Wild Card: This Underrated Argentine Town Is A Must-See Travel Destination

Located in the Protected Nature Reserve within the Valdes Peninsula, which is part of the northeast section of the province of Chubut, Argentina, Puerto Pirámides is the epitome of going off the beaten path to discover natural beauty. Between whale and sea lion watching, horseback riding, beach walking, mountain biking, kayaking and hiking, there’s endless activities to enjoy here. [Swirled]
