Man Cave Mania: 10 tips for creating a guy’s getaway at home
Every guy deserves a dedicated space at home to be himself, relax, entertain his buddies with billiards or TV, or pursue some other passion. Plus, it seems that when it comes to stress recovery, men benefit from withdrawing a bit more than women do. A recent university study found that men’s cortisol levels dropped significantly when they had more solo leisure time in their own homes. Also, a poll conducted by houzz.com revealed that more than one-third of homes have a dedicated man cave, so it seems to be a sound investment of space and money.

Joining the Club: Amid the pandemic, more and more of us are enjoying the golf cart lifestyle on offer at Club Car

Building a virtual world: Stay calm and carry on, online
As the COVID-19 crisis has upended our lives throughout the month of April, we continue to work together to find some sense of normalcy, while doing our best to flatten the curve. One of the great challenges beyond the extra precaution required to avoid the deadly virus is how to stay physically, mentally, and emotionally well. With our gyms closed, entertainment venues shut down, sports canceled, and social activities restricted, we have been forced to seek alternative ways to feel good, have fun, and connect. As our lives came to an abrupt stop, many of us have found ourselves building a virtual world to fill in the blanks. Even the most tech-challenged among us are embracing Zoom fitness classes, Skype book clubs, Facetime visits, livestream concerts, watch parties, virtual church services, and more.
