Don't Be Clueless In June: Start Your Summer With All Time Favorites Fri May 24 2024 16:14:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Florida In Fall - The Best Places For Camping October 21, 2021 Share Everglades National Park, Miami credit Matthew Dillon via Flickr The Sunshine State has always been a beloved beach vacation destination for Americans, but many people seem to forget that there’s more to Florida than theme parks and beaches! Camping is a huge travel trend right now with first-time campers at an all-time high according to the North American Camping Report. Florida’s combination of sunny weather and natural beauty make it the perfect destination for your camping trip this fall! Holidu, the search engine for vacation rentals, decided to find out which places in Florida are the best for camping during this season. We evaluated 200+ Florida towns with a population above 20,000 using the average monthly searches on Google for these towns with the terms ‘camping in’ and ‘campgrounds’ and 2) the average amount of sun hours during fall in those cities. If you want to get away this fall, why not visit one of these top-rated areas for camping in Florida? These camping hotspots were found using the Google search volume and the historical weather data for each town and the data has highlighted that: • Coastal camping reigns supreme: all cities in the top 10 are located on the coast • Florida’s west coast is the most popular with campers • Tampa Bay Area is the best place for camping with 4 cities in the top 10 Top 10 best areas for camping in Florida 1. Top Rated: Key West | Camping score: 10 Key West takes the cake in this ranking with a whopping 8,900 searches per month for camping. That’s not too surprising given the fact that the Florida Keys are not only one of the most beloved destinations in the country, they are also an area that holds immense natural beauty and is the perfect destination for a camping getaway. From the mangrove forests to the Dry Tortugas National Park, Key West offers plenty of ways to immerse yourself in nature. Thanks to the 11.5 sun hours per day, even in fall, you won’t need to give up all of your favorite water activities like snorkeling and scuba diving. Top 3 things campers can’t miss: 1. Explore the mangrove forests by kayak 2. Discover the coral reefs while snorkeling 3. Visit the Butterfly and Nature Conservatory 2. Well-deserved second place: Clearwater | Camping score: 9.67 Coming in second place, the next camping hotspot is Clearwater. Clearwater is located on the same peninsula as St. Petersburg with the Gulf of Mexico to the west and Old Tampa Bay to the east. This camping destination is a prime camping spot for any nature lover. Clearwater is home to several nature parks and reserves, such as the Moccasin Lake Nature Park or the Mobbly Bayou Wilderness Preserve, a great place to start your tour of Tampa Bay, whether you decide to go out on the water or hike along the shore. Bird watchers and fishers will also love Clearwater for the diverse wildlife you can observe in the area. Top 3 things campers can’t miss: 1. Discover Tampa Bay by kayak or boat 2. Get to know Florida’s marine life at the Sand Key Park 3. See birds of prey up close at the Moccasin Lake Nature Park 3. Close third: Naples | Camping score: 9.52 Beautiful Naples to the south takes third place! This town has the most sun hours of every place in the ranking, coming in at almost a full 12 hours of sun per day during the fall. Combine this with its proximity to several big natural parks like the Everglades and it’s no wonder why Naples is the third most popular camping spot. Discover the unique ecosystem of Florida during your camping trip: manatees, dolphins and several indigenous bird species are waiting for you! The parks around Naples also offer many trails for hiking, biking and even for BMX-ing and off-road driving for all different ages and skill levels. Top 3 things campers can’t miss: 1. Get up close and personal with manatees 2. Visit the magical Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary 3. Explore the mangrove forests of Collier-Seminole State Park 4. Surprising fourth: Miami | Camping score: 9.44 It might seem surprising to see a big city such as Miami in fourth place in this ranking, but the truth is that Miami is one of the best places for camping in the Sunshine State. You only have to drive a couple of miles to the south and you’re in the middle of the Everglades! Other notable parks in the area are the East Coast Buffer Preserve, the Biscayne National Park and the Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area. Take advantage of Miami’s 11.5 sun hours per day in fall to explore its beautiful parks. Whether you love hiking, biking, horse riding or kayaking, the parks around Miami have awesome trails for you to explore! Top 3 things campers can’t miss: 1. Discover the Everglades by airboat 2. Go hummingbird spotting at the Castellow Hammock Preserve 3. Explore the reef at the Biscayne National Park 5. Tampa | Camping score: 9.44 The third most populated city of Florida, Tampa, comes in fifth place for our list of camping hotspots. While Tampa, just like Miami, might not be a place you’d associate with camping, there are plenty of campgrounds and recreational areas in the outskirts of the city. The parks in and around Tampa, like the Rocky Creek Trails Nature Preserve or the Morris Bridge Road Preserve, have trails for all levels, not just for hiking and biking, but also for off-roading, horse riding and more! Tampa is also a prime spot for canoeing and kayaking, with plenty of waterways and rivers for you to explore. Top 3 things campers can’t miss: 1. Conquer the class II rapids at the Hillsborough River State Park 2. Visit Morris Bridge Road Preserve for off-road biking and birdwatching 3. Explore Tampa Bay’s waterways by kayak Over 200 Florida towns and cities with more than 20,000 inhabitants were considered for this study. The starting point of the ranking was the average number of monthly searches on Google for the terms "camping in [town]" and "campgrounds [town]." After gathering that data, the average amount of sun hours in the fall months (September-November) was calculated using historical weather data from World Weather Online. These two data points were normalized (adjusted to a common scale) in order to determine which destinations were the best places for camping. In case of a tie, the search volume of the respective destinations decided which town was ranked higher. About Holidu Holidu’s mission is to finally make the search and booking of vacation rentals easy. Its search engine for vacation rentals allows travelers to book the ideal accommodation for the lowest prices. The company also helps vacation rental owners multiply their bookings with less work through its software and service solution under the Bookiply Brand.

10 Practical Strategies To Navigate Holiday Parties Without Alcohol South Florida Sun Times Dec 17, 2025 The Holiday Season Is Packed With Festive Gatherings, Family Traditions, And Social Events That Often Revolve Around Drinking. For People In Recovery (Or Anyone Choosing To Skip Alcohol), This Time Of Year Can Bring Unique Challenges. Invitations Pile Up, Expectations Rise, And The Pressure To “Just Have One” Can Feel Relentless. But Staying Sober Doesn’t Mean Missing Out On The Joy, Connection, And Celebration That Makes The Season Special! As Community Outreach Coordinator at Virginia Recovery Centers, an alcohol and drug rehab in Virginia, I’ve seen firsthand just how attainable it is to enjoy holiday gatherings confidently and alcohol-free. All it takes is careful planning, self-awareness, and the right support. That said, below are practical, empowering strategies to help you navigate holiday events without compromising your sobriety. Know Your Triggers Before You Go Holiday gatherings can be emotionally charged, especially when family dynamics, long-standing traditions, or stressful environments are involved. Before accepting an invite, take a moment to reflect on which situations might make you feel vulnerable. Common triggers during the holidays can include being around heavy drinkers, feeling socially anxious, experiencing loneliness or nostalgia, navigating family conflict, and managing unstructured time at long events. Other common triggers are encountering certain people, places, or rituals tied to past drinking. Awareness of these triggers doesn’t eliminate challenges, but it can help you prepare for them. If a certain event has historically been difficult, consider skipping it this year or attending for a shorter amount of time. Protecting your sobriety is more important than maintaining appearances. Have a Plan and a Backup Plan Going into a holiday party with a strategy gives you control over the experience. Think ahead about how you’ll handle conversations, cravings, or unexpected pressure. For example, decide your arrival and departure time. Also, give yourself an “escape plan” so you’re not stuck if things get uncomfortable. It would also be wise to bring your own beverage. Whether it’s flavored sparkling water or a festive mocktail, having something in your hand often prevents people from offering drinks. Telling a trusted friend you’re attending sober can also be helpful, as you may feel more grounded and accountable if you know someone is aware of your intention. I also recommend planning a grounding activity before the event. A walk, meditation, journaling, or a call with a supportive friend can set a calm mindset. And remember that while having a plan is helpful, having a backup plan is essential. If you feel overwhelmed, you can always leave early, shift conversations, step outside for fresh air, or call someone from your support system. Practice Confident “No” Scripts One of the hardest parts of staying sober at holiday parties is dealing with other people’s reactions. Most people aren’t trying to pressure you, as they’re simply following social habits, but it can still feel awkward. So have a few rehearsed responses to make the moment feel effortless. Try these: “I’m not drinking tonight, but thank you!” or “I’m driving later, so I’m sticking to soda.” Another great reply can be: “I’m taking a break from alcohol for my health.” You don’t owe anyone explanations about your sobriety. Short, simple, and confident responses usually shut down pressure quickly. Bring a Support Person (or a Virtual One) If you can bring a partner, friend, or family member who understands your commitment to staying sober, the whole night can become easier. They can redirect conversations, help you exit uncomfortable situations, and offer a sense of safety. If it isn’t possible to go with someone, arrange a text check-in system with your sponsor, therapist, or a sober friend. You can also use recovery apps or online communities that offer “SOS” chats. If needed, step away for a quick breathing break and message someone who can ground you. Having support (even from afar) can disrupt cravings and remind you why your sobriety matters. Choose Events That Support Your Sobriety You don’t have to attend every holiday gathering. If a party is centered around drinking, rowdy traditions, or people who don’t respect your boundaries, it may not be the best environment. So consider alternatives like sober holiday potlucks, morning or afternoon events instead of evening parties, and family-friendly celebrations. Other great events include smaller gatherings with close friends, community or faith-based activities, and volunteering opportunities. There’s strength in choosing events that align with your values and your wellbeing. Not every invitation requires a yes, especially during the holidays. Enjoy Festive Alcohol-Free Options One of the happiest trends in recent years is the explosion of nonalcoholic beverages and mocktails. People are increasingly choosing moderation, and alcohol-free drinks are more accepted than ever. Some ideas to bring or request include: sparkling cranberry or pomegranate spritzers, nonalcoholic champagne or rose, hot cider with cinnamon, and zero-proof craft beers. Holiday-themed mocktails like a peppermint mojito, “nog” latte, and rosemary citrus spritz can also help you feel included without sacrificing your goals. Focus On What You Gain, Not What You Skip Instead of focusing on what you might be missing, shift your attention to what staying sober gives you. These include clear conversations and genuine connections, better sleep, more energy the next day, no hangovers, increased confidence, peace of mind, pride in your progress, and the ability to be fully present with loved ones. Sobriety isn’t about restriction; it’s about freedom and allowing yourself to enjoy the holiday season with clarity and authenticity in a way alcohol simply cannot. Build New Holiday Traditions If drinking used to be a big part of your holiday celebrations, this is your chance to reinvent your traditions by focusing on what truly brings joy, meaning, and peace into your life. New sober-friendly traditions might include hosting a cookie-decorating night, starting a holiday movie marathon, crafting ornaments or decorating the tree. Or, you can take a winter hike or morning walk, attend a holiday concert or light show, prioritize self-care rituals on busy weekends, or create nightly gratitude lists throughout December. Traditions grounded in connection and creativity last far longer (and feel far more fulfilling) than any cocktail. Reward Yourself After the Event After the party, take time to acknowledge your accomplishment! Staying sober in a social setting (especially during the holidays) is something to be proud of. Reward yourself by treating yourself to a special dessert, watching a favorite show, taking a warm bath, writing in a gratitude journal, buying a small gift, or simply reflecting on how good it feels to stay committed. Celebrating these wins reinforces your progress and helps strengthen your sobriety. Remember Your Why At the heart of sobriety is a deeply personal reason, whether it’s health, family, stability, self-respect, or simply wanting a better life. When cravings or pressure arise, reconnect with that reason by asking yourself: How will I feel tomorrow if I stay sober? How will I feel if I don’t? Who am I protecting and honoring with this choice? What future am I building? Remember, your why is stronger than any holiday drink. Staying Sober Is a Gift You Give Yourself! Navigating holiday parties without alcohol isn’t always easy, but it’s absolutely possible. And it’s often more rewarding than you expect! With thoughtful planning, healthy boundaries, supportive people, and a commitment to honoring your wellbeing, you can enjoy celebrations fully and confidently. This year, give yourself the gift of clarity, peace, and presence. Sobriety doesn’t take away from the magic of the season… It enhances it!

5 Ways to Naturally Support Summer Energy And Focus By Feature Impact Jul 30, 2026 Summertime Means Sunshine, Longer Days, Family Vacations And Social Events Everywhere You Look - But Summer Can Slip Away If You Feel Too Tired And Distracted To Make The Most Of Your Experiences. According to a survey conducted by Atomik Research on behalf of Botanic Tonics, many adults ages 21 and older struggle to feel fully present in summer activities. Nearly half of respondents said having enough energy and a clear mind would help them get more enjoyment out of the summer moments that matter most. With that in mind, here are five simple daily habits to support your energy and focus throughout the rest of the summer season. Improve Your Sleep Quality It might sound obvious, but getting better sleep should be a top priority for anyone trying to harness more physical and mental energy throughout the day. Keep your bedroom cool, dark and quiet; avoid consuming caffeine too close to bedtime; and wind down with a relaxing routine like reading or Yoga. Get Regular Exercise Even though a workout consumes energy in the short term, it pays you back with dividends. Just 30 minutes of movement a day - including favorite summer activities like swimming or playing games in the yard - can improve your mood. Physical movement also helps reduce stress, which was a reported obstacle for 33% of survey respondents who wished they could be more present with friends and family during the summer months. Stay Hydrated When the weather is hot, it becomes more important to stay on top of your hydration. Even mild dehydration can negatively impact your energy and focus. When you're out of the house, bring a reusable water bottle and set reminders to drink regularly, especially during and after outdoor activities. Limit Device Usage When you're feeling sluggish, it can be tempting to collapse on the couch or in bed to scroll on your phone or watch TV. There's nothing wrong with screen time in moderation, but digital fatigue is real and it can drain your energy and disrupt your sleep. Plus, 49% of surveyed adults said Social-Media-driven FOMO ("fear of missing out") made it harder for them to enjoy their summer experiences in the moment. Try Botanical Energy Offerings When energy levels start to dip, it's easy to reach for a cup of coffee, a sugary energy drink or soda. Products made with thoughtfully sourced botanical ingredients offer a different approach. For example, Botanic Tonics' "feel free" kava-centric supplements are designed to deliver chilled energy: a unique combination of energy, focus and elevated mood. For smooth, sustained energy without caffeine jitters or sugar crashes, try KavaMate, crafted with noble kava root and yerba mate. For those looking to elevate their mood and enhance focus, feel free Classic is thoughtfully crafted with noble kava root and natural whole leaf kratom - never synthetic ingredients, alcohol or concentrates.
