7 Snow Blowers to Help You Clear Winter’s Worst in No Time

When you’re a kid, snow is one of the most magical things in the world. That white powder often brought with it seemingly endless days of cold-weather play time, snowball fights, the building of snowmen and countless other activities. Snow when you’re an adult? Well . . . it’s decidedly less fun. And it typically involves a whole lot of work. But it doesn’t have to!

Enter: snow blowers. For those parts of the country that receive feet of snow, a snow blower is just as essential as a lawn mower or a leaf blower. Saving not only time (but in most cases your back too) snow blowers make quick work of the slush and allow your kids (or even your inner kid) to run wild without worry. To help blow through winter’s worst, we’ve rounded up seven of our favorite snow blowers below.

8 Dog Collars That Are Worthy of Your Four-Legged Best Friend

Short of having a child, there’s nothing better than having a pet. Taking care of an animal is often a roller coaster of an experience, but it’s also an incredibly rewarding one. Dogs in particular are loyal and loving, making them some of the best friends you can possibly have. But if you get them nothing else, you’ve got to get them a good collar.

Having a collar is mostly out of function (you need something to clip a leash to and hang their id and vaccination tags on), but it’s also a great excuse to show off some of your pup’s personality to the world. Once you’ve decided what collar will work best for your dog, it up to you to decide what option will fit best for yours. To help, we’ve rounded up eight of the best collars available on the market.

Ditch the Gym for Your New Year’s Resolution and Buy a Kettlebell Instead

We know that exercise is key to a longer and healthier life, but getting to the gym can sometimes get in the way of life. Or at least, that’s what it can feel like. If you’re short on time and patience but want to get a good workout in, even at home, then it’s time to consider the humble kettlebell.

The benefits of compound, whole body movements typically associated with kettlebell training are widely accepted to be far superior to standard gym machines that only work one muscle group at a time. Why waste energy and time when you can work on improving muscle tone, cardio, strength and body composition with a single piece of equipment?

If, however, you’ve never grabbed a kettlebell by the horn, it might seem intimidating. But we’re here to assuage your fears, once you’ve got the hang of it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t switch to kettlebells years ago. Best of all, kettlebell training doesn’t impact your joints the way other cardio does, and actually strengthens your joints.

So what are you waiting for? Here are eight solid options to get you started.

Get Your Chips Ready for These 8 Mouth-Watering Salsas

At its core, the construction of salsa isn’t too complicated. A simple mixture comprised of tomatoes, salt, onions, and peppers yields a delicious dip or topping that has become a timeless addition to any snack spread.

For yourself or a Super Bowl party, the best salsa makes you want to tear through an entire bag of tortilla chips.

With that in mind, we here at SPY have decided to cut through the chunky tomato goodness to bring you eight of our favorite salsas. And, as we’re still a little ahead of the Super Bowl, there’s plenty of time for you to taste test them all to determine which ones will make it to the big game.
