Unless you have been living on the moon for the last couple of months, by now you should have heard, there’s a new sheriff in town. Arlo Kitchen and Bar of Northport, opening late December 2022, has become all the buzz. Owners Steve Squitiro and Andrew Affa purchased the 2 acre property, from the former residence of the Crestwood Manor Banquet Hall. Arlo Kitchen and Bar speaks to a new calling of diners that long to break away from the mainstream. With extraordinary gastronomic fare, Arlo has created a wave of excitement and for good reason.

As owners of Standard Hospitality Group, representing several restaurant properties Mr. Squitiro explains, “we had a clear vision of what our newfound customers would want. A fresh new perspective on dining, combined with making every customer feel like they are the most important person on earth. This philosophy has always been at our center.” Renovated from the ground up, this multi-level dining space offers versatility. The main floor is well appointed with circular booths, that make for an inviting and intimate setting. The upper level has an expanded dining space with outdoor patio that all adds to the allure. Accommodating, everything from an elaborate affair to small gatherings, Arlo can create an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

Arlo Kitchen and Bar has a cool vibe that elevates the social aspect of breaking bread, with a cuisine that can best be described as New American. An open kitchen concept lead by Executive chef Walter Huezo commands a menu that is fresh and creative, catering to diverse customer tastes. With a wide range of apps, salads, showcasing a Fresh Raw Bar and fresh made pastas, wild caught seafood and aged prime steaks, makes Arlo the kind of place that you will never seem to tire of.

As cutting edge as their menu is, you’ll find several familiar classics like their Chicken Parmigiana just like Mama used to make or their Lobster Pappardelle; generously presented wide ribbon pasta, chunks of whole main lobster in a cream sauce with blistered cherry tomatoes, parmesan, anchovy bread crumbs and fresh basil. Umm, comfort food status! Who does not love a great steakhouse burger? An 8oz prime dry aged patty with smoked cheddar, bourbon caramelized onions, slab bacon with a truffle Dijon aioli sounds irresistible. Plenty of land and sea options as well, like a crispy duck breast or pan seared halibut. Desserts include an old school crowd pleaser like their table-side baked Alaska.

Though Arlo’s ambience speaks to expensive tastes, menu prices are reasonable. As Andrew stated, “we wanted to create a menu that is diverse and approachable”. Exploretheir menu and photo gallery for yourself and immerse your senses at the all new Arlo Kitchen and Bar.

 

The Micro – Workout

By
Maria Faller

If you’re lacking in time or just don’t feel like dragging yourself to the gym, you might be in the market for a micro-workout. This is a workout you can do in the comfort of your own home or even outside.

Before you scoff at the idea, let me start by reminding you that any workout is better than no workout, and staying sedentary is not a great health choice. Exercises, such as walking, weightlifting, and yoga, boost the immune system, have a significant impact on heart health, and even improve brain function. Furthermore, exercise helps in maintaining a healthy weight and contributes to better bone health, which is especially important for older adults. The data supporting exercise as one of the biggest health benefits is extensive, so if a micro-workout is all you can fit in, do it. Here’s how…

First, start with a five-minute warm-up. Jumping jacks, running in place, high-knees, butt kickers, jump rope, and even side-to-side stepping are all good choices. If you are feeling really ambitious, or you’re more of an advanced athlete, you can start with jump squats, mountain climbers, and burpees.

Once the warm-up is complete, dive into bodyweight exercises. Because you are limited in time, you’ll want to complete these in supersets, two movements back to back, or even tri-sets, three movements back to back. Upper body exercises include push-ups, planks, dips, shoulder taps, and pull-ups. If you happen to have dumbbells at home, you can add in a shoulder press and bench press (which you can do from lying on the floor). Choose two or three of these, perform 8-12 reps of each, then rest for about 30 seconds and repeat three times. You can do the same with lower body movements such as squat and lunge variations, calf raises, step-ups, donkey kicks, and leg raises. Don’t forget the core. Try reverse crunches, bicycles, flutters, and plank jacks. A simple search online will offer up many other exercises you can swap in and out of these micro-workouts.

You can do a micro-workout, which generally takes about 15 minutes or so, whenever you see fit. You can alternate body parts on different days, add weights for more of a challenge, or if you are a beginner, try one exercise at a time. This is an effective workout that can assist with muscle building and weight loss, and if you’re pushing yourself for the duration, you will sweat and your muscles will even be sore. The secret is out and now that you know about the micro-workout, let the excuses go and start moving!

Solo Travel Tips: 7 recommendations for Venturing Out Alone

By
Art Department
-

Whether you’re a lone wolf at heart or looking to broaden your sense of independence, traveling solo can be a richly empowering and satisfying experience.

Setting out on your own has many practical advantages. You’re not worrying about accommodating another’s schedule, interest or needs, and you’re free to decide what you want to do and when. Solo travel also elicits some mental and emotional benefits, as you experience a unique sense of freedom, liberation and self-sufficiency.

If you’re considering a solo journey, consider these tips from the book “101+ Tips for Solo Women Travelers,” which is offered by Overseas Adventure Travel in free digital and print editions.

Make Sure Your Passport is Updated

Many countries now require your passport to be valid for six months after your return to the United States. If you don’t have a passport, or need to renew one, apply for one as soon as possible. Ideally you should have your application in six months before you depart.

Look for Trips with No Single Supplement

Often, quoted rates are “per person, based on double occupancy.” This is because travel hosts know they can make more from a couple traveling than an individual. You can avoid paying a single supplement premium by being willing to match with a roommate or traveling with a tour company or cruise line with free or low-cost single supplement fees.

Use the ATM

As an affordable and convenient way to get cash, you can avoid wasting time in line at a bank or currency exchange bureau by visiting an ATM. While you’ll likely incur a fee for using an ATM that’s not part of your bank, it is often less than the commission you’d pay at an exchange bureau. Plus, you can avoid additional fees by calculating how much you’ll need for the trip and making one withdrawal as opposed to multiple smaller withdrawals.

Download Entertainment Before You Leave

When traveling, Wi-Fi can be expensive, slow or just not available. Before you leave, download music, e-books, podcasts, favorite tv shows or movies to enjoy while you’re en route or during down time.


Join Group Tours

Once you reach your destination, you may enjoy joining small groups for excursions or to explore local cuisine. Or you can make your entire journey a group experience. A small group adventure with Overseas Adventure Travel has many benefits, and built-in dining companions is just one of them.

Take Precautions in Your Hotel Room

When you check in, ask the receptionist to write your room number down instead of announcing it so everyone can hear. Make sure your room’s locks work on both the door into the hallway and the balcony. Never let any repair person or staff member into your room without confirming with the front desk first. Bring a rubber doorstop, which makes a hotel room door nearly impossible to open. Finally, have an exit plan: Know where the nearest exit is located and the route from your room.

Make New Friends

For some, making friends seems to happen naturally while traveling alone by chatting with strangers at a neighboring restaurant table or striking up a conversation while waiting in line at a store. If those situations don’t occur naturally, there are useful apps that can connect you with local people as well as fellow travelers.

Learn how to Set Meaningful Goals and Acheive Them

Learn how to Set Meaningful Goals with the Gumption to Go After Them

Whether you’re a college grad, young professional or in mid-career, chances are you’ve already faced challenges that seemed overwhelming. Throughout your career, you’ll continue to face opportunities to choose one path or another, but without clear, meaningful goals — and the gumption to pursue them — you may find your path veering from the life you really want.

This is one of the key messages of the debut book by Sharon Price John, “Stories and Heart: Unlock the Power of Personal Stories to Create a Life You Love,” which illustrates core principles that helped her succeed — from climbing a daunting tree in childhood to leading some of world’s best-known brands, offering personal lessons and insights in an approachable manner and understandable format. As president and chief executive officer of the beloved publicly traded company Build-A-Bear Workshop for nearly a decade, John successfully led the 25-year-old organization through the “retail apocalypse” and global pandemic to emerge as a reimagined corporation that delivered the most profitable year in its history in 2021, followed by the recently announced expectation to repeat that feat for the company’s 2022 fiscal year.

Beyond offering candid stories that educate and inspire, she guides readers through her framework for using their own personal stories to enact meaningful change in their lives. In addition to each chapter’s “Story,” a related “Question from the Heart” and personal exploratory exercise helps provide actionable guidelines to creating a life you love, with an invitation for readers to challenge their own mindset through the lens of each experience shared.

Your own stories reveal your values and goals

Originally hailing from a small town in Tennessee, John learned early that she had a natural sense of determination to achieve what she wanted in life, although her perseverance was challenged by life circumstances, including overcoming obstacles like having zero connections in New York’s advertising world when pursuing her first job in the Big Apple. She shares her stories together with concrete exercises to help you focus on your life goals, determine the core values important to you — plus techniques to help you overcome hurdles, like those inner voices that may discourage you from taking the next steps in your career.

“The goal is for this book to be as much a journey for you as it was for me,” John explains. “This is an opportunity for you to think about what matters in your life while hopefully revealing an appreciation and understanding that your personal stories and the meaning you have woven around them not only impact your journey, but can be predictive of it.”

Reflective exercises John guides readers through include:

  • Brainstorming goals for the next five years.
  • Listing wishes for lifelong experiences.
  • Identifying values that are most important to you.
  • Rejecting the negative voices in your head.
  • Understanding how perfectionism can block achievement.
  • Redefining failures.
  • Listening to your own instincts.
  • Imagining your goals being met — and taking specific actions to get there.

Harnessing your gumption to achieve what you want

“If you’re unfamiliar with the term, the word ‘gumption’ is a little different from determination. Gumption is a mix of drive, passion and creativity — not just sheer will,” adds John. “This is where the concept of being dedicated to your goals becomes important. The power to create a life you love is within you.”

In “Stories and Heart,” John shares that beyond identifying the specific life goals most important to you, the next crucial step is learning to harness your dedication, faith and gumption to take concrete actions in pursuit of those goals — even when you’re unsure of the outcome. Taking positive action toward those goals, even in small steps, provides the fuel necessary to achieve them.

“When we identify what it is we really want, our ability to have conviction in achieving those goals increases. It is pretty incredible the things we can achieve when we understand the power of directing our efforts toward a specific desire or outcome,” John explains. “Real momentum in life starts when you clarify and begin taking steps, with conviction, toward something desirable.”

A Non-Invasive, Affordable Alternative to Injectables

By
Art Department
-

As you age, you may notice that crow’s-feet, 11 lines, and smile lines pop up or deepen over time. There are many ways to treat these signs of aging. Many people opt for injectable fillers because they can have immediate and noticeable effects.

However, there are some drawbacks to injectables. If you’ve chosen to get injectables at a dermatologist’s office to treat these fine lines and wrinkles, you know it’s not a cheap endeavor. They can also be painful and require in-office visits.

The good news is that injectables and other invasive treatments aren’t the only ways to get smoother, more youthful-looking skin. If wrinkles are a key concern and you want to avoid the expensive and often painful in-office treatments, you’ll need to integrate three important ingredients into your skincare routine.

1. Hydrate from the outside with hyaluronic acid

Hydration is super important in protecting your skin and maintaining its youthful vigor. In addition to drinking enough water, you need to hydrate your skin from the outside. If you want a product that hydrates your skin effectively and keeps lines and wrinkles at bay, try hyaluronic acid as an alternative for dramatic results.

According to a study published in The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, a group of women applied topical hyaluronic acid twice a day for eight weeks. The results of the study showed that the treatment significantly increased skin hydration, enhanced skin firmness and elasticity, and decreased the depth of wrinkles.

2. Increase collagen with retinol

Your body naturally produces less collagen as you age, which contributes to wrinkles and other signs of aging. As you get older, it’s a good idea to take collagen supplements, eat collagen-rich foods and use products that increase or support collagen production in your skin.

One collagen-supporting topical ingredient you can use is retinol. According to the Cleveland Clinic, retinol increases skin cell turnover, exfoliates skin and increases collagen production. Overall, products formulated with retinols can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Kick-start skin regrowth with Swertiamarin

Your body is constantly making new skin cells and shedding old ones. According to Verywell Health, the average cellular turnover rate is 28-40 days, though this rate is higher in teens and decreases as you age. To maintain healthy, supple skin after age 30, you’ll need to help your skin regrow healthy, new cells.

There are many products you can use to help with cell turnover and regrowth, but an innovative ingredient to look for is Swertiamarin. This plant extract isn’t often seen in skincare, but it’s commonly used by the U.S. military to help treat burn victims.

If you’re looking for an affordable, effective product to target fine lines and wrinkles that contains all three of these ingredients, consider using the new Derm Correxion Fill + Treat Serum by RoC Skincare. Developed in partnership with an advisory board of Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons, the serum had 97% of users experiencing instantly filled lines in just minutes, with 100% reporting visibly reduced deep wrinkles in just four weeks.

NYC Board Certified Dermatologist Dr. Michelle Henry recommends the Fill + Treat serum as an alternative to injectable treatments through the product’s high efficacy formulation. “This clinically proven serum uses three forms of hyaluronic acid to plump and fill in the look of stubborn lines and wrinkles. Meanwhile, RoC’s patented retinol increases cell turnover and therefore reduces wrinkles while Swertiamarin triggers skin’s regrowth factors to build up epidermal layers that may be lost through the years.”

No matter what, to smooth wrinkles and fine lines, you’ll need a targeted treatment, whether it be injectables or topical targeted treatments. Start your journey to more youthful skin from the comfort of your home without breaking the bank; find this non-invasive wrinkle filler for only $24.94 at Walmart.com.

Tips for Planning Winter Getaways

By
Art Department
-

Winter occasions and celebrations equate to increased travel opportunities for many families to see destinations around the globe. Whether you’re planning a trip far from home or taking advantage of nearby attractions during a staycation, you can get more out of your adventures when you plan ahead.

Consider these facts, figures and tips from the travel experts at Go City, a top attractions and experiences pass for city travelers.

Planning
Overall, Americans spend an average of 14 hours planning their getaway, the majority of which happens online or with the help of apps that provide booking information, directions, localized tips and more. In addition to deciding where to go and what to do once you get there, you may find planning ahead and checking restaurant reviews is especially helpful for those first hours after you arrive. Upon arrival, the first order of business for travelers is often refueling with a good meal, typically based on reviews they read before reaching their destination. Also research attractions and create a plan of things you’d like to do each day, even if you don’t follow it to the letter.

Remember, while many attractions and entertainment options provide flexibility, some should be booked in advance. Check individual websites for events, attractions and more to find details about booking and tickets, if required.

Destination
If you’re like many Americans, you may favor traveling to a place where the temperatures soar and you can soak up some sunshine. However, taking advantage of some of those typically warmer destinations outside of peak season can actually provide a way to avoid lines and enjoy a break from the heat. For example, locals in Orlando prefer to visit the area’s popular theme parks in the winter. Using an option like Go City can help you save and experience more to make your in- or offseason trip even better with access to Legoland Florida, Fun Spot America and Boggy Creek Airboat Tours.

The experience passes provide access to popular attractions in 30 major cities around the world such as New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Orlando, London, Bangkok, Barcelona, Dubai and more. Cancun is another hot spot; using the All-Inclusive Pass during the cooler months allows you to take advantage of one of the best times of the year to enjoy Xcaret at Night, along with the Cancun Scenic Tower. Other favorites among visitors include the Sky Wheel and parasailing adventures.

Packing
Smart packing is an often-overlooked secret to successful travel. Not only do you need enough attire for each day, you may also need extras to accommodate special activities or adjust to changing temperatures throughout the day and evening hours. The majority of Americans (63%) pack the night before a big trip but starting sooner can help ensure you don’t forget anything important. Starting a list well ahead of time can help you get a jump on your packing while saving the physical act of fitting everything into your luggage until closer to departure.

Excursions
Taking advantage of the unique activities and excursions is a smart way to immerse yourself and more fully experience the cities you visit. On average, Americans participate in five activities and excursions during a single trip; most of the time, those outings are planned from home as much as four weeks ahead of time, rather than upon arriving in the destination city.

If you’re planning to schedule excursions on your trip, explore resources like Go City, which can help you save up to 60% over gate admission prices. Passes can unlock the best a city has to offer, from bucket list attractions and top tours in the United States, such as Universal Studios, Sea World, Shedd Aquarium, Long Beach Aquarium and the Statue of Liberty, or abroad like the Vatican, the Eiffel Tower and more. There are also plenty of hidden gems and exclusive experiences such as a tour of Fenway Park, Texas Ranger Museum, Museum of Us, Coral Crater Adventure Park and even wine and cheese-making classes.

Make Your Job Work for You

By
Art Department
-

For some people, job dissatisfaction is the result of a crummy boss or stifling work environment. For others, the problem lies much deeper; it’s a need to reevaluate your career path and find a more suitable fit.

If you’re considering a career change but not sure which direction you’re headed, consider these words of wisdom:

Do some self-reflecting. Take time to give your current work situation a thorough analysis. Determine which elements you enjoy, what rubs you the wrong way and what you’d change if you could. Think about practical solutions to the problems you identify whether it’s changing to a different role in the same field or exploring a new industry entirely. Avoid the temptation to focus on the negative. Rather, take plenty of time to consider the positive aspects of your current job, since that insight can help inform your next step. For example, if you enjoy the limited contact you have with customers, a job with more customer-facing interaction might not be a good fit.

Ask for input. Sometimes loved ones hold the key to a happier career path because they can point out details you don’t recognize. They might recall a time when you were most relaxed and happy, or they might point out talents or skills you take for granted. Often, these natural abilities are an excellent foundation for a career because you’re well-equipped to be successful.

Consider your personal interests. Keeping your personal life and professional life separate isn’t necessarily a bad idea but finding a way to merge the two can be useful. This is especially true if you’re able to combine training or skills with something you’re passionate about. For example, if you’re an avid outdoorsman, you might find great satisfaction in applying your business management background to work for a company that specializes in camping gear.

Understand what motivates you. Landing in the right job isn’t just about having the right qualifications for a position that interests you. At the end of the day, you’ll feel most content when your job offers meaningful rewards. Motivators can be financial, or they might have more to do with the ability to learn and grow. Some people are willing to sacrifice a bigger paycheck to know they’re making a meaningful contribution in a field they care about. Knowing what outcomes resonate best can help you find a more rewarding career.

Do your research. Changing your career path is a big move, and one you shouldn’t take lightly. Before diving in, spend time looking into the field you’re considering so you have a better sense of factors like growth opportunities, job availability, qualifications, compensation and more. If you find you aren’t quite qualified for the job you think you want, explore what it will take to get there whether it’s training, education or putting in your time to gain experience and work your way into the role you desire.

A career change may be just what you need to shift your life in the direction you want. Find more career advice at eLivingtoday.com.

Prioritize Heart Health with a Balanced Eating Plan

By
Art Department

No matter your motivations, it’s never too late or too early to start focusing on your heart health, and taking steps now can make a big difference. Small changes, like following a healthier eating plan, can help you start down a path toward improved heart health.

One step you can take is following the DASH eating plan, which is a flexible and balanced way of eating that stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension and was developed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Requiring no special foods, DASH provides daily and weekly nutritional goals to help lower two major risk factors for heart disease: high blood pressure and high LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Being more physically active, managing stress, getting quality sleep and not smoking combined with DASH can put you on a path toward a healthy heart for life.

Encouraging others to join you on your heart-health journey can also be rewarding. Research shows social support and personal networks make it more likely you’ll stick to healthy habits like eating healthy.

Sharing heart-healthy recipes with family and friends is an added bonus, and these DASH-friendly meals can help you take the guesswork out of putting nutritious dinners on the table. Greek-Style Flank Steaks with Tangy Yogurt Sauce offer the bold flavors of the Mediterranean while Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon with Stir-Fried Vegetables is as easy to make as it is colorful. For a complementary combination of pork and sweet fruit flavor, these Baked Pork Chops with Apple Cranberry Sauce are perfect to serve alongside brown rice or steamed broccoli.
