ATHLEISURE LIST | CASA SOL AT MAXX ROYAL BODRUM RESORT

It's officially time to think about planning our vacations for 2025 and we can see staying at Maxx Royal Bodrum Resort in Mugla, Turkey and eating at Casa Sol which opened in May of 2024.

Casa Sol is a concept collaboration between the resort and the F&B team with Corporate Chef Naoki Katori leading culinary and Shavinraj "Sha" Gopinath along with global consultancy Proof Creative which focuses on the drinks. The design of he bar and restaurant was led by GEO_ID.

This concept is situated just steps from the beach with dazzling views, Casa Sol transforms from a tranquil scene for a quiet breakfast into a relaxed locale for lunch in between dips in the ocean and a sophisticated nightlife venue as the sun goes down and the vibes pick up. The venue is entirely al fresco, with a mix of bar and restaurant seating for all group sizes.

The cuisine at Casa Sol is progressive Latin, merging traditional recipes with original elements to create an eclectic mix of dishes. The Chef de Cuisine José L. Castañeda Neri is an accomplished chef with a passion for innovative, high-end cuisine and has over a decade of experience in luxury hospitality.

For Breakfast, we suggest: Chilaquiles, which are corn chips cooked in a rich molcajete tomato sauce topped with sour cream, white cheese, avocado, cilantro and fried egg. For Lunch: Pescado Zarandeado, which is grilled seabream rubbed with chilies adobo served with citrus micro salad. For Dinner: Blackened Rib Eye, which is ribeye crusted with recado negro served with roasted eggplant puree, broccolini, roasted onion, chiles toreados & tortillas.

Casa Sol’s signature cocktail menu is split into two sections Sun Hats (lighter, more refreshing daytime options) and Shoulder Pads (features slightly more complex, spirit-forward drinks designed to enjoy into the evening), a nod to the 1980s beach town nostalgia felt throughout the offerings.

We suggest their Canta-Trio, a blend of tequila blanco, a citrus trio of grapefruit, lime and orange, agave and a spiced salt rim, The Balmy Cobbler with Pisco, pineapple, balsamic and berry shrub and lemon, and The Runway, a clarified milk punch with aged rum, banana, house-made grenadine, lemon, mixed berries, orange and a house spice mix.

If you're interested in hosting an event at Casa Sol, they offer a range of options from small gatherings to full buyouts. Their team can provide detailed information to tailor it to your needs.

THE BACHELOR S29. E0. | MEET GRANT AND THE WOMEN ON HIS JOURNEY

PHOTO CREDIT | ABC/The Bachelor Key Art

On Jan 27th, we will be glued to our screens to enjoy S29 of ABC’s The Bachelor which is being helmed by Grant Ellis who was on Jenn Tran’s S21 of The Bachelorette! We watched him navigate his relationship with her until he was eliminated in week 6 right before Hometowns!

A few weeks back, a first look of the women competing in his season was provided via ABC’s The Bachelor Facebook account! (where you can see videos that include more information on him as well as sneak peeks on the upcoming season!

As we do each season, we have shared these images (we’ll update their ABC gallery images) and we’ll begin to make the best guess on who will be going to Hometowns! We can’t wait to see how Grant and Jesse Palmer will vibe as he continues through the season and what surprises will be along the way.

Each night during this season, we will tweet about The Golden Bachelorette and you can chat along with us (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to see what’s taking place!

Each week we will let you know who our faves were from the last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns.

We also suggest a podcast that we’ve become obsessed with over the past few seasons, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour to get their feedback!

ATHLEISURE LIST | HEARTY & HEALTHY

This month, we hop down to the East Village to Hearty & Healthy which opened this month for those with a wide range of options that are great for guests with diverse dietary preferences (vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, gluten-free) who want to dine together, along with creative cocktails and mocktails. Chef/partner Eder Hernandez first launched this concept 3 years ago as a pandemic virtual kitchen that has since delivered over 300,000 meals. With such demand for healthier comfort food in the area, he and industry veteran Andee Rosario opened this brick-and-mortar restaurant and bar.

For lunch, we suggest that you try the Signature Harvest Salad with roasted butternut squash, quinoa, apples, avocado, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and kale; Blackened Salmon Salad with avocado, tomatoes, quinoa, feta cheese and lemon vinaigrette; and BLTA Sandwich with smoked crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, pickles and chipotle aioli on sourdough.

For dinner, we have our eye on the Black & Blue Salad with 100% certified grass-fed steak over organic mixed greens, tomatoes, avocado, carrots, crumbled blue cheese and Caesar dressing; Seafood Stew with clams, shrimp, scallops and mussels; and vegan baked Spaghetti Squash with house-made marinara, spinach and tofu cream.

Our favorite meal of the week is Brunch and we're thinking about their Hangover Benny with crispy smoked bacon, prosciutto cotto ham, and hollandaise; Chorizo Skillet with scrambled eggs, Mexican chorizo, queso fresco, jalapeño, salsa, guacamole and soft tortillas; and Vegan Pancakes with seasonal berries, blueberry compote and maple syrup.

As we transition into colder weather keep these on your radar: Grandma’s Chicken Pot Pie; braised Short Ribs with mashed potatoes and carrots; fresh pasta with house-made Grass-Fed Beef Bolognese; and vegan Eggplant Pot Pie with basil tomato sauce, mushrooms, quinoa, chickpeas, cashews and tofu cream cheese.

The bar program highlights mezcal, house infusions like jalapeño tequila, spicy cinnamon whiskey, limoncello vodka, and spirit-free cocktails. Creative, aromatic drinks include Sunrise Mezcal with mezcal, ginger syrup, fresh lime and pineapple juice; Tequila Road with tequila blanco, housemade chile morita syrup, fresh lime and grapefruit juices; plus mocktails like Little Miss Pumpkin Spice with pumpkin puree, fresh apple and lemon juices, and cinnamon syrup; and Rosemary Paloma with fresh grapefruit juice, rosemary-infused syrup and lemon off the fun What To Drink When You’re Not Drinking menu.

WELLNESS AND RELAXATION IN LONDON WITH ROUTEPERFECT

Though London has an interesting mix of history, culture, and modernism, within the bustle, it is also a place where wellness and leisure are quite appreciated. London offers many choices to help you unwind and rejuvenate, whether your preferred relaxation method is in calm gardens, a spa day, or a wellness retreat. With so many options, organising a wellness-oriented trip to London could seem overwhelming; yet, with the correct direction, you can create a schedule that strikes a mix between discovery and renewal. Fortunately, a London trip planner like RoutePerfect helps ensure that wellness is the priority while you stay in this energetic city, smoothing out your experience.

Creating Your Wellness Itinerary

Starting your London wellness trip is first about your tastes and interests. Should wellness and leisure be your top concerns, you have many choices.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BARK COLLARS FOR DOGS: CHOOSING THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOUR PET

When it comes to controlling excessive barking, bark collars for dogs can be an effective solution. These collars are designed to help curb unwanted noise and promote better behavior, making them a valuable tool for both pet owners and their furry friends. Understanding how bark collars for dogs work is essential in choosing the right one. There are various types available, including static, citronella, and vibration bark collars. Each type has its own unique mechanism for responding to a dog’s barking, providing owners with different options to suit their pet’s temperament and needs.

When selecting bark collars for dogs, consider factors such as your dog's size, breed, and barking behavior. A collar that is too strong or too weak can lead to discomfort or inefficiency. Properly adjusting the collar ensures the best results, helping to stop the barking without causing harm. With the right bark collar, you can improve your dog's behavior and create a more peaceful home environment.

Understanding Bark Collars: What Are They and How Do They Work?

Bark collars for dogs are popular tools designed to help control excessive barking. These collars work by detecting vibrations or sounds that occur when a dog barks. Once the collar senses barking, it delivers a mild stimulus, such as a vibration, sound, or a gentle static correction, to discourage the behavior. The primary goal of bark collars for dogs is to train them to reduce unnecessary noise, promoting a more peaceful environment for both pets and their owners.

These collars come in different styles, including those with adjustable levels of stimulation to suit your dog’s temperament. Some models are also equipped with a safety feature to prevent over-correction. While bark collars for dogs are effective for some pets, it's essential to use them in combination with positive reinforcement and proper training. Bark collars for dogs can be a helpful tool for addressing barking issues, but they should always be used responsibly to ensure the well-being of your pet.

The Benefits of Using a Bark Collar for Dog Training

Bark collars are effective tools for dog training, offering numerous benefits for both pets and owners. By using a bark collar, owners can address excessive barking in a humane way, helping to create a quieter and more controlled environment. These collars are designed to deliver gentle corrections, such as vibrations or sounds, that interrupt unwanted barking without causing harm to the dog. When used properly, bark collars can teach dogs to associate their behavior with the correction, leading to improved obedience over time.

In addition, bark collars can be particularly useful for dogs with separation anxiety or those that bark excessively when left alone. With consistent use, these collars can reduce stress for both the dog and owner by minimizing disruptive barking. Overall, incorporating a bark collar into your dog training regimen can lead to better communication, less stress, and a more peaceful living environment, benefiting both you and your dog.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Bark Collar

When selecting a bark collar for your dog, there are key factors to consider to ensure effectiveness and comfort. First, choose the right type of bark collar that suits your dog's temperament. Static, spray, and vibration collars are popular choices, but the response should be appropriate to your dog's sensitivity.

The fit of the collar is crucial for comfort and safety. It should be adjustable to fit your dog's neck securely without causing discomfort or restricting movement. Another factor is the collar's sensitivity setting. Some collars offer adjustable levels of sensitivity to ensure they only activate when your dog’s barking is excessive. Battery life and durability are also important. A long-lasting battery ensures that the collar works for longer periods without frequent replacements. Look for waterproof features, as your dog may encounter various weather conditions while wearing the collar.

Tips for Proper Use and Alternatives to Bark Collars

When it comes to managing your dog's behavior, bark collars are often considered, but they aren't the only solution. Proper use of bark collars can help, but it’s essential to follow the instructions carefully to avoid harming your pet. Start with the lowest setting and monitor your dog's reaction to ensure it's effective without causing distress. Always fit the collar snugly, but not too tight, to avoid discomfort or injury.

If you’re looking for alternatives to bark collars, consider positive reinforcement techniques like treats, toys, or praise when your dog remains quiet. Training aids like a Pawious GPS dog fence can also help manage your pet's boundaries without using harmful methods. Additionally, puzzle toys can engage your dog’s mind and reduce boredom, which may be the root cause of excessive barking. Finding the right approach to your dog’s behavior involves patience and consistency, with or without the use of bark collars.

HASHTAGS THAT WORK: UNLOCKING THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA DISCOVERABILITY

In the vast sea of social media content, standing out can be a daunting task. Whether you're an individual creator, a small business, or a major brand, the challenge remains the same: how to get your content seen by the right audience. Hashtags have become one of the most effective tools for boosting discoverability and engagement. This article will dive deep into the world of hashtags, equipping you with everything you need to unlock their potential.

What Are Hashtags and Why Do They Matter?

Hashtags are keywords or phrases preceded by the "#" symbol, serving as a way to categorize content on social media platforms. They were first popularized on Twitter in 2007 and have since become a staple across platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and more.

Why Are Hashtags Important?

Hashtags improve the discoverability of your content by making it searchable. When users search for or click on a hashtag, they’re directed to a collection of posts that use the same tag. This means your content can reach a broader, targeted audience beyond your immediate followers.

Additionally, hashtags can:

●      Boost engagement: Posts with hashtags often see higher levels of interaction as they appear in more users' feeds.

●      Enhance brand visibility: Strategic use of hashtags can place your brand in front of niche or trending communities.

●      Facilitate user-generated content: Campaign-specific hashtags encourage audiences to create and share content around your brand.

●      Support trend participation: Engaging with trending hashtags can help your content appear in widely viewed discussions, increasing its reach.

Types of Hashtags and How to Use Them

A branded hashtag is unique to your business or campaign. It might include your brand name, tagline, or a specific product. For example, Coca-Cola’s #ShareACoke campaign encouraged users to share photos of personalized Coke bottles, generating massive engagement.

To create an effective branded hashtag:

●      Keep it simple and easy to remember.

●      Ensure it’s unique to avoid overlap with unrelated content.

●      Use it consistently across all platforms.

Trending Hashtags

Trending hashtags can help you tap into popular conversations. However, they come with risks—using irrelevant trending hashtags can make your content appear inauthentic.

Tips for leveraging trending hashtags:

●      Use tools like Twitter’s trending section or Instagram’s Explore page to identify current trends.

●      Ensure the hashtag aligns with your brand voice and message.

●      Engage thoughtfully with the trend, adding value rather than jumping on the bandwagon.

Niche Hashtags

These hashtags cater to specific industries, interests, or communities. For instance, a photographer might use #PortraitPhotography or #NatureShots to connect with a targeted audience.

To find niche hashtags:

●      Use tools like Hashtagify or Display Purposes.

●      Study competitors or influencers in your field.

●      Test different hashtags to identify those that drive engagement.

How to Research Effective Hashtags

Most social media platforms offer insights to help identify high-performing hashtags:

●      Instagram Insights: Provides data on reach and impressions for posts with specific hashtags.

●      Twitter Analytics: Tracks tweet performance, including hashtags.

●      TikTok Discover: Highlights trending topics and tags.

Third-Party Tools

To take your hashtag strategy to the next level, consider third-party tools like:

●      Hashtagify: Analyze hashtag popularity and related tags.

●      RiteTag: Offers instant suggestions based on your image or text.

●      Flick: Helps identify the best hashtags for your audience and tracks performance over time.

Best Practices for Hashtag Use

Consider the best placement for hashtags. On Instagram, many creators place them in the first comment to keep captions clean. On LinkedIn or Twitter, hashtags are often integrated into the body of the post. Formatting can also make hashtags easier to read; for example, capitalize the first letter of each word in multi-word hashtags (e.g., #DigitalMarketingTips).

Consistency Across Platforms

Each platform has different dynamics. On Twitter, limit hashtags to 1-2 to maintain focus. On Instagram, where you can use up to 30, a balanced mix of 10-15 relevant hashtags often works best. Tailor your strategy to fit each platform’s unique user behavior.

Dos and Don’ts

●      Do: Use a mix of popular, niche, and branded hashtags to maximize reach and relevance.

●      Do: Research banned hashtags to avoid penalties or reduced visibility.

●      Don’t: Overload your posts with irrelevant hashtags. Quality beats quantity.

●      Don’t: Use hashtags that are overly long or complicated, as they can confuse users or deter engagement.

Tracking Hashtag Performance

Analytics are vital to fine-tuning your strategy. Social media platforms often provide native tools to monitor metrics like reach, impressions, and engagement rates.

Using Analytics Tools

●      Instagram Insights: Offers data on how many people discovered your post through hashtags.

●      Facebook Business Suite: Tracks hashtag performance across business pages.

●      TikTok Analytics: Displays trends and engagement stats for videos.

A/B Testing

Experiment with different combinations of hashtags to determine what resonates best with your audience. For example, test general versus niche hashtags or branded versus trending ones. Over time, this data can guide your strategy toward maximum effectiveness.

Advanced Strategies

Encourage your audience to share content using your branded hashtag. This not only boosts engagement but also provides you with authentic, shareable material. For example, brands like GoPro frequently showcase user content tagged with #GoPro.

Aligning hashtags with holidays or major events, such as #NewYearGoals or #WorldCup2024, can help your content stay relevant and attract timely engagement. Planning ahead for these events allows you to create campaigns that capitalize on increased interest.

While hashtags can organically improve discoverability, combining them with paid campaigns can amplify their impact. Boost posts that perform well with hashtags to reach an even wider audience. For those looking to enhance social proof quickly, options like buy likes on Instagram can complement your organic efforts.

Conclusion

Hashtags are a cornerstone of effective social media marketing. By understanding the different types of hashtags, researching effectively, and tracking performance, you can significantly boost your content’s visibility and engagement. Whether you’re building a branded campaign or simply looking to grow your reach, hashtags hold the key to unlocking new opportunities.
