Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate Mom! Are you doing anything special for your mother today?

Miami is home to quite a few wonderful parks, but Brickell Key Park is a favorite that sets itself apart from all the others. This scenic park is located on an island key off the coast of Miami itself, and it is connected by a small bridge that is very easy to access.

Many area runners enjoy the park for its 1.15-mile loop trail and its safe, scenic atmosphere, which offers some peace of mind while running alone. Sensor lights and paved walkways line the perimeter of the park, while the numerous sculptures rival the beautiful views of the nearby Miami skyline. Make your way around the entire island as you get in a great workout outdoors, or simply take a stroll with friends to admire one of the best sunsets in the Miami area.

Whether you’re looking for a great place to run, walk or simply spend the afternoon lounging in the grass, you can do it all at Brickell Key Park.

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.
