The first batch of seasonal watermelons are just starting to hit the market, and it's lucky for us that this sweet treat (which is both a fruit and a vegetable, depending on how you look at it) ripens just in time for the hottest summer weather.
Now that Memorial Day is past and summer is officially here, the myth of unsafe mayonnaise is upon us. Any time you have an outdoor gathering in pleasant weather, someone is going to pucker up their face, make a tutting noise, and complain about the potato salad or egg salad being unsafe. Everyone always blames the mayonnaise, but it's just not true.
While Flores hasn't become as popular as better known islands like Bali or Java, it has started to become a favorite of the backpacker crowd. With endless places to dive and snorkel, as well as some amazing inland scenery, Flores is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself heading to Indonesia. With that being said, one must-stop destination should be the town of Moni to visit Kelimutu Volcano.
It's almost summer and school will be ending soon. That means you'll have lots of time for family fun. You'll be part of their entertainment every single day for the next few months. To avoid that dreaded phrase "I'm so bored" without spending a lot of cash, try these fun, free summertime activities. I've also included links to hundreds of other activities to make your summer a success.
When the weather is bad
I'm only 31 years old, but I have no interest in most video games or even game apps. I never was much for video games as a child either. Despite that oddity, I always enjoyed a good board game. We usually played these games when the weather was too bad to go outside or when the electricity was off. If you'd like to take a trip down memory lane with me, download these three board game apps to your Kindle. You'll be glad you did.
After spending last summer in London participating in the 2012 Olympic Games, you figured maybe Emma Coburn would want a quiet summer. Though Colorado is known for skiing, summertime in Colorado is one of the most beautiful times to visit. Her hometown of Crested Butte isn’t too shabby to see in the warm weather either. Though this would suffice for some, the University of Colorado steepler has bigger fish to fry than catching rays at high altitude.
True to Seattle form, spring rain has returned in full force this time of year. Although it can put a damper on your run, it doesn't have to with the right attire. Check out these styles below to keep you dry and comfortable when it's raining.
Memorial Day was one of my favorite holidays as I was growing up. As I got older, I realized the significance of the day and did my best to honor and remember those who've given their lives in military service. Still, the day is somewhat of a summer kick-off for many. It's a long weekend, school is nearly over and summer is almost here. If you're looking for some frugal activities to do over the long weekend, try one or more of these suggestions. Don't forget to pay your respects to the fallen, too.
Do you know what to do if you're in a survival situation? That could be anything from a natural disaster to a zombie apocalypse to the tune of Walking Dead. All joking aside, these are useful apps to have in case of an emergency. Remember to keep your cell phones charged as much as possible. You never know when the electricity may go out, and if you're one of the millions who no longer uses a landline, you'd be out of luck. Here are three FREE must-have Android apps for emergencies.
It's a bird…it's a plane…it's…wait, if you don't know what it is, you could probably use the help of these apps. From amateur to ornithologist, there are several apps on the iOS, Android and other markets that you can use to identify birds. Back in the day, I went on a few bird tracking outings in the field with a college professor and some other students and found it very interesting. I had a hard time identifying birds, and apps like these certainly would have made it much easier than flipping through a field guide.
