Spring Forward: How Start Your Warm Weather Workouts on the Right Foot

May 19, 2016 by

Whether you want to tone up before bathing suit season or you're striving to lead a healthier lifestyle, the spring season is a good time to begin an exercise routine. If you’re struggling to find the motivation to begin your spring workouts, these tips can help.

  • Put it on paper. If you write down your fitness goals and a loose schedule, it will help you to remain accountable and stay on track.
  • Start slow. Remember to keep your schedule light at first and work up to more difficult workouts. Begin with 30 minutes of moderate cardio exercise three or four times per week, and be sure to switch up your workouts to keep things interesting.
  • Enlist a partner. If you’re still feeling sluggish, ask a close friend to work out with you and help to keep each other motivated.
  • Invest in new workout gear. If your sneakers from last season have seen better days, invest in a brand-new pair that will get you excited to exercise.
  • Get outdoors. Now that the cold weather is over and the days are longer, you likely want to get outside as much as you can. Schedule early morning runs before work, go for weekend bike rides, or even sign up for yoga in the park.

Clear the Air With These Air-Purifying Houseplants

April 21, 2016 by

You might think that, in order to breathe truly clean air inside, you'll have to invest in an expensive air purification system, but that's not so. There are many houseplants that eradicate airborne toxins, and you can pick them up at any major home improvement store. Here are just four of them.

  1. English ivy. According to the scientists at NASA, there's no plant better at purifying the air than English ivy. It helps soak up any formaldehyde that could be floating around in your air, and you definitely don't want to be inhaling the stuff. Plus, it's almost impossible to kill them.
  2. Peace lily. The peace lily may be beautiful, but beauty can be deceiving. Don't fall for its game; this is actually a powerful plant. Harmful chemicals like xylene, ammonia, formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene will all decrease in your air when a peace lily blooms nearby.
  3. Red-Edged Dracaena. Named for the strips of bright red that run along the edges of its thin, long leaves, the Red-edged Dracaena is more than just a pretty plant. It also gets rid of xylene, trichloroethylene, and formaldehyde when you feed it enough sunlight.
  4. Golden pothos. If you really want to make a statement with your new houseplant, consider buying a hanging pot for the golden pothos. When positioned properly, its leaves will snake their way down to the floor in beautiful vines.

Arcade Games Meet 1980s Pop Culture at 1984 in Wilmington

April 14, 2016 by

Whether you're old enough to remember the year 1984 or young enough that you have to rely solely on television and movies, anyone who can appreciate 1980s nostalgia will have a blast at 1984, a popular Wilmington bar.

Try your hand at one of 1984’s classic arcade games, like Pac-Man, Frogger, and Tetris, or systematically work your way through all of them—1984 has a collection of more than 30 machines (best of all, the arcade prices are also 1984 prices: just a quarter each). And don't forget the '80s karaoke nights or '80s DJ nights when you can dance the night away to your favorite vintage tunes.

Fortunately, the bar's stock isn't stuck back in 1984, so you'll find a nice selection of your favorite modern craft brews to wet your whistle while you're having fun.
