Saturday: Life Hacks- 51 Fast Fixes for Clothing Catastrophes

Shrunken sweaters…..static cling…….deodorant marks……….scuffed shoes……I could go on an on about the endless list of wardrobe malfunctions and clothing catastrophes that cause us heartburn and frustration! Often we even end up tossing the offending object thinking it’s beyond repair. STOP! Take a deep breath and read this post first! :-) There’s almost ALWAYS a cure for what ails you and your clothing and today we’re sharing over FIFTY of them!

Remove grease stains with white chalk. Crush the chalk and sprinkle it on the grease stain. Let sit overnight. Then brush off in the morning. The chalk dust absorbs the grease from the fabric. I also love this method for getting rid of oily stains.
Chalk can also help remove ring-around-the-collar. Rub the stain heavily with white chalk. The chalk will absorb the oil that holds in the dirt. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes, then wash as usual. If that doesn’t work give this trick a try.
If you have a zipper that’s just tough to pull up, slide a key chain run onto the loop of the zipper. Use the ring to pull the zipper up and then loop it around the button of your pants.
Check out this post to see my favorite method for getting rid of grass stains.
Rub a piece of sandpaper on the soles of new shoes to rough them up a bit. That way you have much better traction when walking!
If you scuff a black shoe, use a sharpie to color in the scuff.
This is a great post at 11 & Chic about how to remove salt stains from leather boots.
When your skirt decides to start clinging in all the wrong places…look for a wire hanger and run the long side of it over your skirt, and between your skirt and tights or slip. No more static cling!
Use mitten clips to create a kind of stirrup around your foot to keep pants from riding up under tall boots.

Friday: Beach fashion -15 Surprisingly Flattering One-Piece Swimsuits to Suit Every Body Type

There was a time when the one-piece was simply the stopgap of swimwear—pulled out in a pinch, perhaps post-baby or after a stint of not hitting the gym for a while. But in its newest iterations, the maillot isn’t simply a means to camouflage your winter body, it’s the chicest style you’ll find poolside, sur la plage, or anywhere else, for that matter.

Thanks to alluring upgrades such as high-rise, hip-baring cuts, spare keyhole details, and plunging scoop backs, these suits are serving up a sensibility that’s more Helmut Newton than matronly beachwear, in shapes to flatter every body type. Our advice for making the silhouette work? Keep it simple. Forgo fussy prints or over-the-top graphics, and opt for solid, mod stripes instead—or if you’re feeling especially cheeky, maybe a macro-gingham. Trust us: Even the most basic among these styles will speak volumes.

Thursday: Fitness -Beginner’s Guide: Paleo Diet For Weight Loss And Better Health

There are many diets out there that promise short term weight loss and enforce the idea of detoxing the body. However, dieting is not all about losing the pounds; It’s about creating an ongoing healthy eating habit that will benefit and prolong a better and healthier lifestyle.

Paleo diets are a good way to incorporate healthy, natural foods into daily life and promote steady and ongoing weight loss together with a regular exercise regime. Find out why taking up a Paleo diet will help you reap the benefits of weight loss and general overall health.

If you want to know more about weight loss, you can’t miss the following article that provides all useful tips you need:

Weight Loss Plan And Program: Create Your Own One

What is a Paleo diet?

A Paleo diet, also referred to as the Caveman Diet, is based on the types of ingredients that early humans would have consumed. It’s promoting the notion of eating a ‘clean’ diet that is free of toxic foods that harm our body. In this day and age, food consumption rates have hit a major high and most of these foods contain trans fats, sugar and added preservatives that contribute towards diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and depression.

Paleo diets are based on well-sourced, healthy ingredients that avoid the unnecessary toxic foods that our bodies can’t process effectively or efficiently. Ingredients such as lean proteins that promote muscle strength, strong bones and a good immune system as well as satisfying the body for longer periods between meals are a big part of the Paleo diet.

Fruits and vegetables, that we know contain the nutrients, antioxidants and other health benefits that contribute to a healthy functioning body, make up a big portion of this type of diet. Healthy fats are also essential and are found in nuts, seeds, fish, lean meats, fruit such as avocados and healthy oils like olive and grapeseed oil. All these combine to form a healthy diet that promotes a happy and well-fueled body

What exactly are the health benefits of a Paleo diet?

I mentioned earlier that trans fats and sugar, in particular, contribute to diseases that are becoming the biggest killers today. There are so many health benefits from partaking in a Paleo diet and here is a brief run-down of just a few.

Reverses Diabetes: Studies have found that a long-term Paleo diet can actually reverse the symptoms of Type 2 diabetes. Cutting out all processed foods that contain sugar may eliminate possible development of diabetes.
Lowers Chances of Cardiovascular Diseases: One of today’s biggest killers, cardiovascular disease sees big increases in heart attacks, strokes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and the symptoms that can stop people from being able to live their lives. Lowering our intake of processed foods containing trans fats lowers the risk of heart disease.
Promotes a Healthy Immune System: The best part of a Paleo diet is that it provides you with the most nutrient dense food options. Foods rich in vitamin A, D, C and zinc all go towards an efficient immune system, resulting in a lessened susceptibility to illness.

Is the Paleo diet effective for weight loss?

Wednesday: Need A Digital Detox? 10 Ways To Switch Off

Considering most of us depend on our smart phones to wake us up in the morning, tell us the weather, and direct us to our next destination, having a digital or gadget free day (or hour) is no easy challenge. Technology has made life a lot more interconnected and convenient; however, it has also compelled its users (us) to feel a need to be switched on 24/7. Having to keep up with endless notifications coming from 10 different social media platforms can be stressful and exhausting. Let’s not even get started on emails.

If you struggle to break up with your phone for even two minutes, maybe it’s time to take action and treat yourself to a digital detox. Even if it’s just one hour a day, it can make a world of difference to your well-being and sanity.

Not sure where to start? Here are 10 ways to unplug and switch off. The goal is to be more productive and do more of what you love, minus the reliance and addiction to technology.

Be Ruthless With Your Smart Phone Notifications

Guilty of checking your phone every time someone mentions you on Facebook or tags you in a photo on Instagram? If self control is an issue here, do something drastic once and for all. Dedicate time slots throughout the day (or on weekends), where you turn of all incoming data notifications. Instead of spending your days with your head down, scrolling through feeds and feeds of information, why not fit in some quality face-to-face time to catch up with friends, family, or your significant other? If something’s urgent, people can still reach you by calling you. Don’t worry, your Facebook messages and Instagram tags aren’t going anywhere.

Do a Digital Cull

Bite the bullet and delete all of the apps that you never use on your phone (or hardly ever use), as well as any unnecessary social media platforms. Unsubscribe from newsletters you’ve subscribed to, but usually delete before opening – they’re just adding to your digital clutter and causing unneeded stress.

Unroll.Me is a fantastic website to use for digital culling. Sign up to see a list of all your subscription emails – then unsubscribe instantly from whatever you don’t want with one simple click. Too easy.

Indulge in a ‘Wellcation’

Holidays are meant to be relaxing, but when you’re constantly on your phone Instagramming every perfect shot you can get and Snapchatting as you walk, it’s easy to get lost in the virtual world and forget to appreciate the moment by simply ‘being there’. If you’re ready for a break where you can unplug and de-stress, treat yourself to a ‘wellcation’ on your next getaway.

Tuesday:10 Things You Must Do In Tamarindo Costa Rica

1. Take a Sunset Cruise on a Catamaran

Some of the best experiences we had in Tamarindo were undoubtedly on the Sunset Cruises (affectionately titled “The Booze Cruise”). For less than $90, you will get unlimited alcohol, a lunch, time to swim/snorkel in the Pacific (and often see beautiful sea life), plenty of boat lounging time, and the most gorgeous view of sunset.

Simply because this is a Booze Cruise does not mean older travelers should stay away. I went on a sunset cruise 3 times and never experienced out-of-control guests. I took my very own parents on the catamaran, and they loved it.

I recommend Marlin Del Rey.

2. Sip Mojitos at the El Be

Without any doubt, El Be is the coolest beachside spot in Tamarindo. With lounge chairs and beds, tree swings, bean bags, hammocks, and regular tables and chairs – you have plenty of options for relaxation right on the sand.

El Be has a happy hour each day and the mojitos and beer (Imperial and Pilsen are the local beers) are half off. El Be makes the best mojitos around! So either bring your swimsuit and chill here for your day of beaching, or come in the late afternoon to watch the sunset as you drink away your cares!

3. Go on a Beach Crawl

Tamarindo’s Beach and Pool Crawl is one of the best experiences around. You gather on a bus that takes you to other beaches or resort pools in nearby towns. At each stop, you get a free shot and then can order whatever other drinks you’d like.

This is a great way to see some places other than Tamarindo while having a fun group experience.

4. Stay at Casa Monacita

We have stayed at Casa Monacita twice and loved it each time. It’s located up a hill, so you can have a view of the Pacific Ocean from their private pool. There is also a top patio deck that is perfect for lounging, eating, and soaking up the Pura Vida vibes.

Keep in mind, to get the benefits of the view from a hill, you do have to climb up that hill to get there. It is totally worth it as long as you are physically capable of waking up an incline. Bonus: you burn off all those alcohol calories!

5. Eat Plantains Just About Anywhere

Gallo Pinto: the typical breakfast

Monday: In the Kitchen:Avocado Chicken Salad (Only 3 Ingredients)

Avocado Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

2 cups shredded chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
1 large avocado, cored & chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
*salt & pepper to taste

Directions: Add ingredients in a bowl and mash with a fork until well combined.

Chicken salad is a favorite of mine! I love that this recipe offers a basic foundation – leave the salad as is or change it up a bit by adding red onion, walnuts, garlic powder, or even a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt. What do you like in your chicken salad?

Here is a great recipe book full of rotisserie recipes to save you time and money!
