Here’s how: Balance on one leg and lunge forward as far as you can, keeping your hands on your waist and your neck straight. Kick your free leg back to help you hold your balance and work your glutes. Repeat 15 times before switching sides. Use Your Fruit If the peaches, berries or bananas you bought a few days ago have become just a little too ripe, don’t toss them. Instead, incorporate the fruit into a smoothie or some muffins. Crack on the Counter Crack eggs on a flat surface, not the edge of a bowl, and you’ll be less likely to get bits of the shell in your food. Couch Camouflage Unexpected guests are knocking at the door and you realize you never got around to cleaning those stains off the sofa. Drape a neatly folded blanket over the couch and strategically place throw pillows for added camouflage. Sweet Sweaters Cardigans are a year-round fashion accessory for women of any age. With skirts or dresses, wear cardigans that hit you at the hip. Longer cardigans look better with pants. For a stylish look, get a size smaller than usual and don’t wear the sweater closed. The point is to add color to your outfit. Mix Patterns Your bedroom will look like spring year-round when you pair crisp white linens with a variety of floral patterns. Pick designs with white backgrounds to keep the look harmonious. Be an Early Bird at the Movies Check local movie theaters for a schedule of matinee showings, which are often much cheaper than evening movie times. An added bonus? Earlier showings are generally less crowded. Sensible Advice You can enhance your ability to learn and remember by involving as many senses as possible. HelpGuide.org suggests relating information to colors, textures, smells and tastes. Writing out information on paper can also help imprint it onto your brain, as can reading out loud something you want to remember. Super Food: Spinach Popeye knew the power of spinach. The leafy green is full of nutrients. Spinach is high in lutein, which promotes eye and heart health. It is also rich in iron, for healthy red blood cells, and the B vitamin folate. This salad staple is also an excellent source of vitamins C, K and A, plus several important minerals.
