Adventure is out there, and you need to find it.

We have assembled a list of four great adventure getaways that will give you the thrill of your life.

Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park is a park located in Montana, USA, and is widely known for its mountains, glaciers, and wildlife such as elk and bighorn sheep. The park has over 700 miles (1,100 km) of trails that can be accessed by foot or bike. These trails range from easy to difficult depending on your skill level but if you're looking for an adventure then this place should be on your list.

Hawaii

Hawaii is a volcanic archipelago in the North Pacific Ocean. The state has a tropical climate, and its four major islands are: Oahu, Maui, and Kauai (the "big three") plus Molokai and Lanai.

Hawaii's islands are all volcanic; which were formed by the cooling and cracking of magma inside the Earth's crust over hundreds of thousands of years. Kilauea on the Big Island has been erupting continuously since 1983.

Hawaii is also known as The Aloha State because people there greet each other with an affectionate embrace called an "aloha". This means both hello and goodbye - it's used whenever you meet someone new or part ways with someone familiar.

Iceland

Iceland is a great place to visit in the winter, as the weather is usually mild and dry, but temperatures can drop below freezing at night. If you want to see the Northern Lights, Iceland is one of the best places on Earth for viewing. The country also has plenty of hiking trails and ski slopes where you can enjoy some fun outdoors activities while enjoying some breathtaking views.

Whale watching tours leave several times each day from Reykjavik's harbor (it's possible to see whales from land too), but if you want something closer than that then head over to Husavik where there are more than 20 different species living off these shores throughout most months of year including humpback whales, minke whales and blue whales.

Costa Rica

If you're looking for an adventure getaway, Costa Rica is the place to be. It has many beautiful beaches and it's a great place to go hiking and view the abundant wildlife.

Are you a surfer? This country has some fantastic waves that are perfect for surfing, whether you are a beginner, advanced, or anywhere in between.

Plan a trip to one of these great places.

Planning your adventure is one of the best parts of the entire journey. It's an exciting process that can be both educational and immensely satisfying, whether you're planning one trip or four.

Here are some tips on how to plan your next adventure:

• Do plenty of research beforehand. When you're planning an adventure, it's important to know what the infrastructure is and what utilities are available in each location so that you can properly prepare. For example, if you're going somewhere with no electricity and no internet access, you know beforehand if you need to bring along extra equipment, or solar chargers.
• Take care of logistics ahead of time so everything goes smoothly once at your destination(s). This includes getting any required permits or licenses together well before leaving home; reserving transportation options like planes tickets or rental cars; researching where exactly those rentals will pick up from so nobody gets lost during drop-off day...you get the idea!

Wherever you go, whatever you do, be prepared, have an excellent adventure and be safe out there.

To boost your energy levels and get the most out of your day, it's important to eat a healthy breakfast.

Life is busy and if you're in a rush or don't have time to prepare an elaborate meal in the morning, there are still some quick options that will help power you through. With just a couple minutes of prep time in the evening before bedtime, you can have energizing foods at your disposal first thing in the morning.

The following energy boosting eats are rich in nutrients, easy to digest and great for your health:

Bananas

Bananas are a good source of vitamin B6 and vitamin C. Vitamin B6 helps to convert carbohydrates into glucose, which is the body's main source of fuel. Bananas also contain potassium, an electrolyte that helps regulate nerve impulses and muscle contractions. Potassium deficiency can lead to fatigue, particularly in athletes who do not replace lost fluids during exercise or sweat excessively during hot weather conditions.

Eggs

Eggs are a good source of protein, which is important for muscle growth and repair. They also contain iron, which helps transport oxygen around the body. Eggs are a good source of choline--an essential nutrient that plays an important role in brain health (1). In fact, one large egg has about 70 mg of choline!

Avocados

Avocados are a good source of energy-boosting nutrients. They're rich in fiber, potassium and vitamin B6--all of which help your body to convert food into energy more efficiently. Avocados also contain vitamin E, which can help prevent free radical damage that causes fatigue.

You should aim for about half an avocado each day if you want to reap the benefits of this fruit's healthful fats. It's best not to eat more than one whole avocado per day because they're high in calories: A single avocado has about 250 calories--about as much as two slices of bread!

Sweet potato

Sweet potatoes are a great source of energy, thanks to their high vitamin A content. Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy vision and also helps with your immune system. Sweet potatoes are also rich in vitamin C, which helps your body fight off infections by boosting your immune system.

Sweet potatoes contain fiber, which helps you feel full after eating it--this can help prevent overeating later in the day or at dinner time!

Buying the right mattress is one of the most important decisions you can make for your overall health.

Is it time to buy a new mattress?

If you’re not sure, ask yourself these 5 simple questions.

1. Does your mattress sag? 
2. Do you wake up in pain?
3. Does your mattress aggravate your allergies?
4. Is your mattress noisy when you turn over or change positions?
5. Does your mattress smell?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, it might be time to look into buying a new mattress.

How well you sleep can determine what kind of day, week or even month you’ll have. This makes buying the right mattress one of the most important decisions you can make for your overall health. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a few tips to help you on your mattress buying journey.

The Influencer Effect

It’s easy to look at a mattress online and decide it’s the one for you because it’s a recognized name or a flashy brand. Keep in mind that influencers are making a great living telling you what to buy. But when it really comes down to it, you’re the one who will be sleeping on it for hours, every single night.

Do your research online and jot down the features that catch your eye, then you may wish to pay a visit to your local mattress store to physically test the mattresses on your list. While you’re in-store, talk to a professional and ask as many questions as you need to so that you feel comfortable that you’re moving in the right direction. Whether you end up purchasing at a brick and mortar or you purchasing online, you will know you’ve made the best-informed decision for you.

Talk About Comfort and ask about Firmness Levels

Most importantly, don’t be shy about your line of questioning. It’s important you choose the mattress that’s best for you.

What’s your sleep position?

How you sleep plays a big role in determining which mattress is best for you.

Side Sleeper: Soft to medium firm levels to help keep your spine aligned.
Stomach Sleeper: A firm mattress so your pressure points don’t sink too far.
Back Sleeper: Medium firmness to assist with proper alignment.
Combination Sleeper: Medium firmness to best support your changing positions.

Body type is also a factor when determining the right amount of firmness.

Temperature control

If you sleep warm, a cooling mattress may be your best friend. Keep in mind that not all cooling materials are made equal and talking with a mattress professional will give you more clarity on this growing trend.

Other suggested discussion topics:

• Why you are looking for a new mattress and issues you may be experiencing with your existing one.
• Additional information on the features you’ve been reading about online
• Durability
• Delivery and in-home set up
• Warranty
• Return Policy

Our schedules are busy and you’ll find that most mattress stores will let you book an appointment ahead of time, so you don’t have to wait to talk to a professional. If this is a feature your local retailer offers, it’s worth making the appointment.
