Dodge the winter blues with our list of activities and a few new products from GoHydrate, Bee & You, Mackenzie & Park, Davids, Goldfaden MD, Ahuja, Dance With Me and CityPickle.
Hit the ski slopes and bring along Bee & You.
The Pocono Mountains are just a quick car ride away and Vermont makes the perfect weekend ski escape. We suggest you take along the Bee & You Propolis Raw Honey Lip Balm. This product hit the Alps on our environmental safety gage. It’s interesting to note that propolis is a resin like substance that bees collect to protect the antiseptic environment of the hives. Every product made by this company is by contracted beekeepers to ensure the highest quality and standards to protect the bees, their keepers, consumers and all of nature.
Hiking all the way up the Hudson? Keep Bear Mountain and Sullivan County in mind — both places have awesome trails. Holiday indulgence and winter weather have a particular way of damaging the skin. To help protect and improve the skin’s glow, try Goldfaden MD’s core essentials. We selected this line not only for its effectiveness but also due to the minimal effort regimen plus the convenient travel-friendly kit. The Doctor’s Scrub wins extra points for improving a dull complexion. We noticed a healthier and more radiant appearance even after the first usage.

Get a smile as dazzling of the first snowfall while ice skating in Central or Prospect Parks.
Over the years we have tried and tested various oral hygiene products. We’ve recently discovered the products by Davids and their dedication to help save the planet. After trial testing, we recommend their refill + reuse dental floss and their Sensitive + Whitening Peppermint Toothpaste. All products are created with sustainable packaging. The toothpaste is made with coconut charcoal for enhanced whitening while safe on tooth enamel. The strong flavor will help keep your breath fresh and impressive as you attempt a Figure 8.
A night out bowling helps lift the spirits. It’s warm inside the alleys and this activity is date worthy — most lanes like Lucky Strike offer food and drink. Why stay home?
Don your favorite bowling shirt and add a splash of cologne. We all know that fragrances range in cost. Some brands are far more expensive due to marketing/advertising costs and not necessarily the uniqueness of the scent or its elaborate ingredients. With this in mind, we selected a scent that will fit every post-holiday budget. Ahuja Eau de Parum is bold and masculine with a blend of pepper, citrus and cedar wood essence. Just a small amount will evoke a pleasant response from your date and bowling league — and may even improve your score.
Yes, you can jet ski on the Hudson River during the winter. Sea The City offers lessons and various tour packages. We suggest this for those into extreme sports and we also strongly recommend that you be prepared with proper attire. We have supported Mackenzie & Park undergarments in the past and are fans of their long sleeve crew neck shirts. It comes in various colors to layer the wardrobe for the winter months and outdoors activities like skiing, hiking, sledding, etc. Make a splash and stay warm on the Hudson River.
Longer walks with man’s best friend. Come rain, sleet or snow, the pooch has to go outside. With the colder weather at hand, we’ve recently discovered this hot and useful invention by Walkee Paws. They are gloves that feature a flip-top design with a compartment to store/hide poop bags. They can be worn as fingerless gloves or mittens — the fleece-lined, antimicrobial fabric keeps hands cozy and clean. Your dog will enjoy the extra time with you counting the extra steps around the block.
Conveniently located in Long Island City, locals now have the city’s first indoor pickleball club called CityPickle. With all those paddle and ball fans out there, now is the time to see what everyone is raving about. This sport spot is certain to improve your game and help you disconnect from all that distracting technology. Food and beverages are available to further your interest and check out their discount offer for new comers at the link below.
You have seen the ads. You’ve watched the clips on social media. You have always been interested in stepping like a pro. 2024 is the year for you to learn to dance. Really dance and not just flap your hands in the air or fist pump. Dance With Me USA has several locations within the tri-state area and those who step up to the ballroom rarely leave the parquet floor. It’s a workout for every level. Created by several of the superstars of Dancing With The Stars, this place is fun and inspiring regardless of your technique or musicality. We are confident that you will be happy you signed up and pleased with your progress (body transformation) by spring.
