Here Comes Maple Madness (See Ya, Pumpkin Spice)

Pumpkin spice has long ruled supreme as the go-to flavor for brisk fall days and sweater weather. But according to recent market trends, another fall flavor is surging: maple syrup. Unlike the often artificially flavored pumpkin spice syrups used in coffee and baked goods, 100 percent maple syrup is a mineral-rich alternative for health-conscious consumers looking for cleaner fall treats.

While maple syrup is still a sugar, it offers more nutritional benefits, including zinc, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and riboflavin,than many other sweeteners. There are a range of maple syrup grades, all with different flavor profiles—from delicate and smooth to rich, woody, and roasted. Since this one-ingredient powerhouse has so much to offer, it’s easy to see why many companies are adding more maple-flavored items to their repertoire.

Funding Your Children’s Extracurricular Fun

In their formative years, children have the chance to learn and grow with the help of extracurricular activities. Luckily, they have a number of activities to choose from, all of which do their minds and bodies good. For example, children enrolled in some kind of art program can see their special reasoning skills further developed, and their fine motor skills improved. Another popular activity, sports, may help increase self-confidence and discipline.

Not only are these extracurricular activities good for the child; they’re also great for the child’s academic future.

How to make sure your recycling efforts aren’t for naught

You reduce, reuse, and recycle, but is that enough? While making strides to reduce your impact on the environment is incredibly important, it’s also important to get the most out of your efforts. Recycling isn’t overly complicated, but there are plenty of common mistakes we make over and over that make it tough for recycling centers to do their jobs effectively. For instance, let’s say you’re an avid online shopper and have stacks of cardboard boxes piling up in your garage. Tossing the boxes in your trunk and dumping in them in a bin labeled “cardboard” won’t cut it.

Unflattened boxes take up prime recycling bin space, so it’s better to break them down at home first. There are other common recycling mistakes that waste your time too. If you think you have to painstakingly peel away labels from used cans and bottles, think again. You can save your time and leave labels on—recycling centers will take care of the rest. Interested to learn more? Read on for more tips to make sure your recyclables get where they need to go.

Why HIIT is still a top trend plus tips to incorporate it into your workout routine

Every year, new fitness trends come and go. One style of working out has gained and maintained speed for the last three years. We’re talking about high intensity interval training (HIIT). This year, the Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends named HIIT as the number one trend for 2018. Since 2014, HIIT has consistently rained in the top three slots of the survey. So what is HIIT? A HIIT workout typically alternates short intervals of high-intensity exercise and low- intensity or no exercise (aka rest).

Whether you alternate sprints and walking, super fast jump roping with slow jump roping, or jump-squats and marching in place, the goal is to bump up your heart rate and then recover just enough to bump it right back up again. Rather than spend an hour a day walking, jogging, or running, the major appeal of HIIT is that you can get more done in less time. Interested in adding HIIT to your routine? Read on for our tips to stay safe, see results, and have fun.
