Weekend Edition

1. Workout of the Week: Netflix Yoga

Stretch it out while binging your favorite Netflix series by doing simple, effective yoga moves. You can hold a low lunge without missing that juicy finale by starting in downward-facing dog, bringing your right foot in between your hands, dropping your left knee down to the mat and inhaling into a lunge position. Stretch and repeat. [Swirled]

2. Life Hack: Razor Edition

Run a dull razor over old jeans to resharpen it.

3. What to Watch
: “The Great British Baking Show”

Need a “chill” night with good vibes only? “The Great British Baking Show” has you covered. While bakers from all over the U.K. come to compete against one another in this advanced challenge, their camaraderie (along with the gentle soundtrack) will put you at total ease — and make you seriously hungry.

4. What to Read: “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr

Set in World War II, the paths of a blind French girl and German boy training in the Nazi military elite collide. [Amazon]

5. What to Listen To: “There Goes The Neighborhood”

We all live in ever-changing cities, but this podcast digs deeply into how cities change and how that affects the people who were living in the “cool” neighborhoods before they became trendy. [WNYC Studios]

6. R&R: Skin-Nourishing Tea

Does your skin just need a little oomph? Put down that serum you’re not even sure works for you and try an all-natural approach by drinking green tea. The drink comes with a number of anti-inflammatory benefits and helps your skin fight free radicals (which cause breakouts and other awful issues).  [Swirled]

7. What to Eat: Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich

Give your tried-and-true breakfast sandwich a Mediterranean makeover by toasting your bread, scrambling your egg with plain yogurt and adding some fun toppings like mozzarella cheese, spinach, avocado, lemon juice, feta cheese and cucumber. You’re totally in Greece right now.  [Yammie’s Noshery]

8. What to Drink
: Bathtub Cocktail

Want cocktails with a little pizzazz? Head to Chicago’s The Bassment, which serves Tito’s vodka, lemon, cucumber syrup, St. Germain and lemon foam in a tiny bathtub — rubber ducky included. Better yet: Make your own at home by finding a mini bathtub. Then, drink it in your bathtub. Boom. Inception. [Swirled]

9. Dream Destination: Beaver Falls, Arizona

Prepare to see one of the most gorgeous waterfalls on the planet by visiting Beaver Falls in Arizona. Rivaling the Insta-famous remote canyon location Havasupai Falls, Beaver Falls involves an exciting desert trek to the cascading blue-green waters. Jump right in! [Swirled]

10. Wild Card: 7 Tips For Grilling The Perfect Steak

It’s grilling season! Perfect that steak at your next get-together by making sure your grill is clean and oiled, your steak is room temp before cooking, your seasonings are simple (think salt and pepper), you leave that steak be until it’s caramelized and then let it rest for at least 10 minutes after cooking.
