7 Things to Know about Dodge Charger SRT

By delta August 20, 2019

A combination of beauty, power and a touch of the old school is every car-owners dream. The Dodge Charger SRT comes with a lot more than that. It is the ultimate machine that can take you anywhere, from picking your kids from school to a drive on rough terrain. However, it does not come cheap. Apart from the vehicle history, you should know exactly what you are bargaining for before heading to the dealership.

One of the World’s Most Powerful of its Kind

True, the Charger is a sedan after all is said and done. However, it is not your ordinary sedan, it is one of the most powerful and fastest. One of the attributes that place it far ahead of the pack is its top speed that can go up to 204mph.

A Superb Fuel Saver

Muscle car and fuel-saving do not go hand-in-hand but still, it is good to know that the Charger SRT will be a big help to your pocket when it comes to fuel consumption. In other words, what you spent at the car dealership may very well be replaced at the pump – at least part of it.

A Safe Driving Experience

The Charger features a back-up camera and rear parking sensors. Furthermore, it offers detection for cross-traffic at the rear and has the capacity to prevent forward-collision, courtesy of the brake assist and advance alert and as well as active braking. The four-wheel-drive option also gives you a touch of confidence when cruising in unfavourable weather.

Top of the Range Infotainment

The Dodge Charger SRT is a mobile house of entertainment. The car is fitted with six speakers with SiriusXM, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. It also features a 7-inch touchscreen that allows you to control the infotainment system.

Full Comfort for the Driver and Passengers

The fact that the SRT steering wheel and seats are made of Nappa speaks a lot about the level of comfort the designers had in mind. The seats also come with a heating element and air ventilation. There are ample leg and shoulder room for the driver and as well as the passengers. Even though the trunk is already big enough, the rear seats are foldable, thus adding more trunk space which will come in handy for a long road trip.

Everything Where it Ought to be

Many vehicle manufacturers and designers make the mistake of complicating everything for drivers who are completely new to their latest models. Thankfully, you can get behind the wheel of the SRT and feel like you have been driving it for years. The switchgear process works as it has always done. You will find every gear where you expect it to be. Other functions such as releasing the trunk and hood are as easy as they should have been simply because you would find them exactly where you should. Talk about saving time.

A Unique and Stylish Exterior

The designers of the Dodge Charger SRT obviously spent a lot of time in their trade. The result was a unique style that is a reminder of car generations gone by but with a completely different style from what the past had to offer. The colour options in which the model comes in leaves the buyer a lot of choices. You can also go for the package that offers a blacktop.

Conclusion

The Dodge Charger SRT is a car to be proud of if you ever wanted to own a sedan that has the power of a horse. The ease of driving, the comfort of the interior, and safety of the drive make it something to wish for. We’re pretty sure the outer appearance of the machine will undoubtedly turn heads.

Ways to Deal with Acne-Prone Skin with Neogen

By delta August 19, 2019

It is a harsh world out there for people with acne-prone skin. At this point, you already know that breakouts don’t just happen to teenagers. With real-life and stress happening, a rampant breakout here and there are just your typical situation.

You have to understand what triggers your acne so that you can start to fix them. Skincare products like those from Neogen can help you with your acne issues. Sometimes, acne can be due to hormonal fluctuations or imbalances, oil production caused by daily intake of oily food, acne-causing bacteria on the skin or even allergies.

Here are some tips on how you can deal with acne-prone skin.

Be Gentle With Your Cleansing

Cleansing is a significant step in a skincare routine. However, keep in mind that you should never use harsh cleansers because it strips off the natural protective barrier from your skin; making it more vulnerable to harmful bacteria. Soap also has a higher pH, and it can excessively dry and trigger more oil production, thus increasing acne irritation.

Over-washing also causes the skin to overdry and it confuses your oil glands into producing more oil, thus worsening your acne problem. Just wash and cleanse your face twice a day (day and night) will do.

Do Not Exfoliate Your Skin When You Have Acne

It is not advisable to treat your skin harshly when you’re having a breakout. Scrubbing off your pimple will strip away your skin’s barrier, and it will only contribute to further acne breakouts. Even some slight exfoliation is too much for your sensitive skin. Instead, try the opposite approach of scrubbing by treating your acne with gentle products that will promote natural cell turnover. Your skin will definitely thank you for that.

Keep Your Hands-Off

Avoid touching your face if it’s not necessary and if you need to touch your face, remember to sanitise your hands before doing so because additional bacteria from your hands is the last thing your acne-prone skin needs. Never pop or pick your pimples no matter how tempting it is. Squeezing your zits will not only irritate and worsen your breakout but it can also potentially scar you for life.

Avoid Dairy Products

According to research, milk would stimulate oil glands and it could create a breeding ground for your acne. Try to detox and cut out dairy for at least 2-3 weeks and see how your skin reacts to it.

Clean Your Makeup Brushes Regularly

People tend to forget this step and complain about a bad skin day. Makeup brushes accumulate dirt and bacteria so often that it is best to clean them at least twice a week. For sponge and blenders, it is essential to wash them once a week.

Check Your Hair Products

Breaking out on your forehead, neck, and shoulders could be due to the ingredients found in your shampoo and conditioner. Ingredients like artificial fragrances and preservatives can also trigger breakouts. Consider changing your hair care products to paraben-free shampoos and conditioner.

Choose Your Makeup Wisely

Your skin could be acting up because of a makeup product that you just recently bought and use. Having skin that’s prone to acne can be hard to maintain so use mineral-based cosmetics instead because it contains ingredients that would absorb excess oil without clogging up the pores. What’s more, it works best with pimple-prone skin!

Invest in Salicylic Acid Products

Salicylic acid is a natural ingredient that can be derived from plants like the willow bark. Known to be one of the most effective anti-acne ingredients out in the market, it targets acne by keeping out dead skin cells that would clog up the pores and cause a breakout. Salicylic Acid Products are better than benzoyl peroxide because it does not suck moisture from your skin or cause redness and peeling.

Watch Out for Non-Comedogenic Product Claims

Non-comedogenic is another term for saying that your pores won’t be clogged. Currently, there is no official definition of this term from the FDA or an actual ingredient list that proves that the ingredients in a product would not get your pores clogged. What is more important to look out for are oil-free products that do not have added artificial fragrances, harmful ingredients, or preservatives because they are known to cause adverse skin issues.

Conclusion

Acne-prone skin is a real challenge for people all over the world. Fortunately, skincare products like Neogen can help your acne-prone skin. If you’re trying new products, always take note that you should introduce the skincare items one at a time. The slow introduction makes sure your face has got enough time to adjust to it.

Ambi Climate Review- Harnessing the Power of Artificial Intelligence for a Sustainable Lifestyle

By delta August 15, 2019

Artificial intelligence is gaining rapid attention because it eliminates the necessity for us humans to carry out routine and mundane tasks that cost us time, money, and effort. With artificial intelligence, resource such as time and money can be freed up and allocated to more pressing needs.

What if you could harness the power of artificial intelligence and use it right in your home where you can enjoy personalised comfort, savings on energy usage, and a smart home experience?

With Ambi Climate, you can now enjoy 24/7 seamless thermal comfort right in your cosy home because it upgrades your existing remote-controlled air conditioner with Artificial Intelligence and it does so by controlling your air-conditioner remotely.

How does Ambi Climate work?

Ambi Climate will learn from the feedback that you input via the Ambi Climate app and at the same time, the Ambi Climate Sensor will analyse how the changing ambient conditions affect your comfort. Thereafter, Ambi Climate will then auto-adjust your air conditioner accordingly. But of course, this is not to say that Ambi Climate is entirely accurate because it is only as accurate as the number of feedback that you provide to it.

Traditional air conditioning remotes are based on straightforward temperature settings—but this one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t consider the whole picture because factors such as humidity, weather, sunlight, and time of day can have a noticeable impact on how you experience hot or cold.

With Ambi Climate, there’s no need to reach for your existing remote when you feel hot or cold because it gets to know how different factors affect you and it will continuously auto-adjust your air conditioner to match your comfort level. The Ambi Climate app gathers your comfort feedback – hot, cold or comfortable and its smart sensors measure indoor conditions and even your air conditioner’s performance. Combining online data (time of day and local weather information), Ambi Climate can create your personal comfort profile and auto-adjust your air conditioner with changing conditions.

There are a couple of modes and functions available on the Ambi Climate. To activate the Comfort Mode, simply give feedback on your comfort level – hot, cold or comfortable and from the 3rd feedback onward, Ambi Climate starts learning your comfort level and does the auto-adjusting for you. You can always let Ambi Climate know if your comfort differs from what it estimates for you because the more feedback you give, the better it is able to adjust your air-conditioner/heat pump to match your personal preference.

In the Away Mode, you can set temperature and humidity thresholds so that your plants, pets and clothes are protected from unwanted moisture and extreme temperatures. This mode is perfect for users who work long hours or travel a lot and need a convenient but hassle-free control of the ambient conditions at home.

In the Temperature Mode, you can select a pre-determined temperature and Ambi Climate will maintain your set temperature by either lowering or raising your air conditioner’s temperature. In this mode, Ambi Climate also takes into consideration your room’s ambient conditions and the performance of your air conditioner. This mode is perfect for users who already know which temperature condition is the best for them.

In the Manual Mode, you can control your air-conditioner through the Ambi Climate app without having to use your old-fashioned remote or necessarily being next to the air-conditioner or even have to be at home. This mode is perfect for users who simply want to control their air-conditioner while on-the-go. What’s more, you can even enjoy easy hassle-free automation by setting your preferred radius and allowing Ambi Climate to control your air conditioner based on your location i.e. turn on the air-conditioner when you are arriving and off when you leave.

In Singapore, we have a tropical weather and unlike countries where they have four seasons, our comfort level here is typically influenced by factors such as humidity, warm weather and the monsoon season that brings with it strong winds and heavy showers. As air conditioner consumes large amount of electricity, Ambi Climate effectively minimises overcooling and overheating, saving you up to 30% on energy.

Just so you know, Ambi Climate is compatible with over 50 brands and 1,200 models of LCD-screen remotes. In short, it works with any types of air conditioner with a LCD-screen remote controller.

The Ambi Climate retails for 129 USD and if you would like more information, you can check it out here!

Are Brick-and-Mortar Retail Stores Dying Out?

By delta July 16, 2019

The chances are high that you use a smartphone on a daily basis to speak with friends, to look at the weather forecast and to access your email. You could very well be employing this very same device to purchase products and services throughout the online community. The rise of digital sales has become one of the most important industry trends throughout Singapore and this movement is expected to gain pace in the coming years. This brings up an interesting question. Might there come a day when physical retail outlets are no longer viable options for the average consumer? What does this mean for the entire marketplace and how might this impact your finances? These are all very important questions that deserve a bit more clarity.

Let’s take a look at what some of the experts have to say.

The Rise of the Digital Sales Experience

There is no doubt that virtual sales solutions are on the rise. It is now possible for you to purchase a product with a swipe of your finger. Transactions take place within seconds and the presence of massive online shipping services such as Amazon ensure door-to-door deliveries within a timely fashion.

Of course, all of these trends are very attractive to the average consumer. There are two main reasons for this observation. The first involves an undeniable sense of convenience; especially for those who lead busy lives. The second is associated with cost benefits. As the amount of online competition continues to grow, the average retail seller will be forced to cut prices in order to retain his or her client base. These very same entrepreneurs will employ modern e-commerce platforms such as Shopify Singapore to create a seamless consumer experience. This is why customers are taking advantage of what the online community has in store.

Getting Back Down to Reality

All of the observations mentioned above are quite compelling for those who believe that brick-and-mortar sales may soon go the way of the dinosaur. However, this hardly signifies that such establishments will disappear overnight. The fact of the matter is that countless consumers still prefer a hands-on experience when purchasing a product or committing to a service. This is why we are likely to witness another interesting trend.

Traditional retail establishments will be looking to bridge the proverbial gap between a digital presence and their physical outlet. In other words, they will take advantage of online promotional tools in an effort to entice clients to visit their store. This double-pronged approach should produce stellar results and many owners will be able to vastly increase their existing client base. The Internet is not nearly as much of a threat as some of us have been led to believe.

We are nonetheless living in extremely interesting times. The notion of virtual sales was fictional only 20 years ago. This is why it is rather difficult to predict what the future may have in store. Either way, those who are able to stay ahead of the curve should enjoy success.

Size Matters When It Comes to a Mattress

By delta July 2, 2019

There’s no substitute for a good night’s sleep, but for many of us, this can be hard to achieve and as rare as a pearl in an oyster. Your body and brain need that rest in order to repair and refresh your whole being for the new day. However, if you spend the night wrestling with sleep in close combat, you greet the morning grumpy and ill-prepared for what’s to come.

Vital for your 7 to 9 hours’ rest is a good bed. It needs to offer support for your spine and comfort for your pressure points. Not only this, but it should also be big enough to provide space for you to move as you travel through dreamland.

That’s right. Don’t judge a bed simply by lying on it (online outlets now offer home trials on mattresses for as long as 100 days), you need to know if it will give you ample room to roam during the night.

There are many reasons why you need a bigger bed, not least of all is your own proportions. Here are 4 factors to consider when buying your next mattress:

Your width and length. Amazingly, we tend to settle for less than we need when it comes to a mattress. We take what we see in the showroom instead of finding the ideal bed elsewhere. Considering that a mattress should last you for up to 10 years and you’re going to spend 33% of your life in bed, doesn’t it make sense to invest in something that matches your body size and lifestyle?
Lone sleeper? If you’re on your own, you still need extra space to get comfortable. Nowadays, there are many more mattress sizes than ever before. Check out the guide to see how you can broaden your options on a buying decision. Your mattress should be at least 4” longer than you are.
Couple comfort. A standard double bed only gives each person 2’3” of space – that’s less than a baby gets in a crib! If you both lie on your backs, put your hands behind your head and your elbows are touching, that’s too little room for comfort. You’re going to end up disturbing each other since the average person moves around 60 to 70 times every night.
Family time. What happens when your offspring join you in bed? Those infants can pack a decent punch and usually when you’re least expecting it. So, make sure your bed is family sized. And, remember, those little ones ramble around more than you do at night, you might as well factor that in when making a buying decision.

Since our current lifestyles include bedtime activities from eating to working, it makes sense that your mattress reflects this. Improve your chances at getting a good night’s sleep by getting a bigger bed – your body, brain and state of mind will thank you for it.

Terrible at picking presents? Use these 8 Valentine’s Day gift ideas for her!

By delta June 28, 2019

Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to show the special woman in your life how much you love and appreciate her. It is the best day to show some romanticism and make her happy with a thoughtful gift. However, when you are bad at picking gifts things can be a little bit complicated. No matter how much you would love to surprise your spouse with a great gift, you may simply be stuck when it comes to finding the best present for your loved one.

Read on if you need a little guidance in choosing a meaningful Valentine’s Day gift for the woman you love.

1. Two tickets to her dream destination

We all have a travel destination choice on the top of our bucket list that we fantasize about visiting at least once in our lifetime. There is probably no other better gift than the gift of travel experience. Buying plane tickets to a trip that your spouse has been wishing for is one of the most meaningful gifts. It is a great way to prove how much you want her to fulfil her dreams and that you want to be part of each of them. Find out where is the place that your loved one has always dreamed of visiting and take care of all the planning aspects such as booking tickets and finding accommodation. If you are really committed to making her happy, you can also make a list of all the must-see attractions of the destination. Your dedication to helping her fulfil her dream will definitely fill her heart with joy.

2. A chic piece of jewellery

While choosing a piece of clothing can be a little more complicated because you must find the perfect size and ensure that it suits her personal taste, a chic piece of jewellery might just be the right present. Every woman has a special relationship with jewellery because it enhances her sophistication and completes her look. Gifting a silver bracelet for women is a great way to remind her that she is cherished and loved. Moreover, a chic piece of jewellery is a romantic gift that will stand as a beautiful reminder of the person who gave it to her.

3. A hobby-related item

We all love to practice our hobby as it makes us feel proud of our skills. But seeing our significant other being supportive and attentive about our passions is even more fulfilling. You simply can’t go wrong with a gift related to her hobby because it will prove that you are interested in whatever she is passionate about and that you want to be part of it. Consider your spouse’s hobby or passion and gift her a tool or accessory that will enhance it. For example, if your spouse loves painting, you can buy her painting accessories such as an easel, paintbrushes or an artist palette. If you want to know more, check out giftingsherpa.com.

4. A romantic dinner

Cooking a romantic dinner for your spouse is one of the most classic Valentine’s Day gift ideas. The effort and time invested in preparing a delicious meal, creating a romantic mood and atmosphere, and planning a relaxing night just for the both of you will prove to your partner how much you love her. Find a private location where you and your spouse can spend time alone and decorate it with flowers and fairy lights. In order to set the mood for the night, you can play slow romantic music and light up some scented candles.

5. Chocolate and flowers

When you are dealing with so many everyday tasks, you may forget about planning a present early in time. However, if you really do forget about buying a present for your loved one, you should find a last-minute gift that will salvage the situation. Offering chocolate and flowers to your significant other is a forever-lasting tradition that will never lose its charm. Although it may not be quite the most unique and creative gift idea, buying a last-minute present such as chocolate and flowers can totally save the day. A box of delightful chocolate paired with a bouquet of her favourite flowers is easy to find and you can grab them on the way to your Valentine’s Day date.

6. Be present

In today’s modern world, we are all so busy with our jobs and everyday responsibilities. Thus, finding free time to spend quality moments with our loved ones can be difficult. Sometimes, presents don’t have to be a physical item to make your spouse realise your love and appreciation. Sometimes the gift of your time can be the best way to make her happy. Make sure that on Valentine’s Day, you offer your significant other all your free time. Prepare a list of activities that you both enjoy doing and spend the whole day together giving her all your attention.

7. A puppy

Getting a puppy for Valentine’s Day can be a wonderful surprise. Everybody simply adores a wagging lap-warmer. If the special woman in your life loves animals and would like to have a furry friend to fill her house with joy, gifting her a puppy can be a magical experience. You will give her the gift of the unconditional love, surprise kisses, and a wagging tail every time she returns home. However, before gifting a puppy to your spouse, make sure that she is willing to take the commitment to invest time, energy and love in offering the best conditions to her pet.

8. Couples massage

A day at the spa and couples’ massage is the perfect way to spend quality time with your loved one while relaxing and relieving the tension that the both of you have accumulated due to your busy lifestyles. The calming and soothing environment will help you enjoy the relaxing moments side-by-side and strengthens your relationship. All you have to do is to allow the professionals to do their work while you both disconnect from your everyday responsibilities and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

We hope that these Valentine’s Day gifting ideas are useful for you and if you like to add on this list, please feel free to comment below!

6 Outdoor Sports Everyone Should Try

By delta June 25, 2019

It has become a trend to do outdoor stuff and be immersed in nature, thus the rising popularity of outdoor sports. There are a lot of sports being enjoyed outside, and these have a lot of good feedback reported on the internet. Some even claimed that outdoor sports have changed their mood and helped them cope with daily stress and anxiety from work or school. Outdoor sports is not only a good way to get to know new people, but it is also a way to stay fit as well.

Get in with the trend and try these outdoor sports:

Cycling

This is one of the most popular activities that people, young and old, love—and it has a lot of health benefits too. While soaking in the scenery as you pedal down the park or a breathtaking trail, you can increase muscle strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness. Cycling also strengthens bones and improve posture and coordination as you burn off those extra calories. If you want to track progress as you cycle and improve your overall cycling experience, upgrade your bicycle with a few accessories like power meters.

Mountain Climbing

This gained popularity lately and for a good reason—the stunning view of nature and the surroundings from the top is undoubtedly spectacular. While it’s not exactly a piece of cake, there are a lot of training facilities offered around America to ensure that you’re doing good before you take on a mountain without supervision. When you do attempt a climb, make sure you have the necessary tools and accessories needed to make sure you’re safe to climb rocky slopes.

There are benefits as well to mountain climbing—it can improve stamina, endurance, and muscle strength because it uses lots of muscle groups. Since focus is necessary when climbing safely, it’ll help with concentration and mental stability.

Hiking

Some won’t even see this as a sport since it’s so relaxing and fulfilling, but hiking means you have to tread different terrains and walk for a long while before you can find a place to rest in. You have to build up stamina, endurance, and willpower to overcome the challenges and obstacles in your path. Since it can be difficult, hiking often requires mental focus, and it will help tone most of your muscles as well. You will also be well-rewarded with the beauty of nature as you hike up the hill and you might even meet some rare birds and animals!

Surfing

Don’t you just enjoy the sea and the breeze as it blows across your face when you ride the waves? It’s an amazing experience where you can learn how to balance and improve your confidence in life. Surfing is actually a good way to release stress, and it promotes you to be active. The best thing about it is you also get to swim and enjoy the view of the beach. Surfing improves cardiovascular fitness and, at the same time, helps your core and back strength.

Rowing

This is one of the most excruciating sports out there, but one of the best one if you aim to lose more weight. It will tone your muscles—both arms and legs, and it requires teamwork and focus as well. There are accessories that can help you track your vital signs and progress as well if you want to know how much you’ve improved, but overall, rowing is one of the most effective exercises out there.

Archery

This is one of the most relaxing activities on the list, and it doesn’t require much stamina and strength; in fact, it can be fun and make you competitive. Archery develops the focus and concentration, as well as patience. If you can hone these skills, it will help improve confidence, and it’s an awesome skill to show off to friends.

What are you waiting for? Grab your gear and head out those doors to try one—or more!—of these outdoor sports. Bring a friend to make it a more fun experience.

There are also many stalls filled with minigames that anyone could enjoy. Try to visit an amusement park near you and experience the thrill that summer can bring!

Learn to Surf

When it comes to summer, the big blue ocean also comes to mind, so why not try surfing? Although surfing has a huge learning curve, trying to get into it is pretty easy since experiencing your first wave is just as exhilarating as you think! Learning the basics of surfing may sound complicated, but do not fret since there are many surfing classes available at known surfing spots. Don’t be afraid to test the waters!

With so many islands known for being great surfing beaches, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to travel around to these known spots too. Choose a country to go to that is known for beaches, and you are bound to find a great surfing spot there.

Take Up a New Hobby

Summer is also a great time to start taking up a new hobby. From learning how to cook to creating new art, there are many hobbies to choose from that are pretty easy to get into. One such hobby is photography. Since summertime is one of the best times to travel, taking photos is one of the best ways to make memories of these trips.

Try Out Golf

Golf is another sport that you can learn during the summer season. With so many amazing beginner courses offered at golf courses, it wouldn’t take long for a prospective golfer to learn the ropes. Another great thing about golf is that you can ride around golf carts, making it easy to traverse from different parts of the field. Some people consider riding golf carts to be just as calming as it is to play the actual sport. Having a handy club car battery charger during these long cart rides will prove helpful too—you wouldn’t want to be stranded too far from your destination now, would you?

Finding a golf club that will help beginners is a great start, so don’t be afraid to try it out! They will teach you how to choose your club, find the right ball, and as well as the basics of the golf swings and stances.

Take a Road Trip

Road trips are also a great way to spend the summer outside the house. Take a ride with a group of friends or family, and enjoy the journey toward your destination! A cross-country road trip around the United States is a great way to bond with family and friends, especially since the time spent with each other will be long.

Before you set off on your adventure, don’t forget to check the vehicle as this will be where you spend most of your time. Make sure that the car is cleaned up and that the gas is full. Don’t forget to pack some snacks and lots of entertainment options, from music to movies. Lastly, don’t forget important documents like passports, licenses, and registrations. Better to be safe than sorry!

Summertime is a great time to try new things especially for doing activities outdoors. So jump out of the couch and go straight out to experience summer in full force!

Explore The Wonders Of The Napali Coast in Kauai

By delta June 11, 2019

The Napali Coast of Hawaii’s Kauai island could without a shadow of a doubt be called one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the world. Adding to the attraction of this wonderful and unspoiled part of the island is the fact that Kauai has not been subjected to the sorts of tourist pressures that many people believe has transformed the other islands in the chain that makes up Hawaii. This makes Kauai the perfect destination for those who simply want to enjoy the natural wonders of paradise – and nowhere will this enjoyment be more acute than when exploring the Napali Coast.

A jewel in the crown of an island also known as ‘The Garden Isle’; the Napali Coast at Kauai Island itself boasts a galore of natural wonders.

A stretch of mountainous coastline that stretches beyond 16 miles in length, every mile of the Napali Coast is filled with wonder. Valleys stretch into the pristine forest and are the first stop of cascading waterfalls on their journey towards the ocean. Sea caves echo with the boom of the surf while pristine beaches and offshore corals beg for exploration.

For those wishing to take in this natural wonder, here are some travel tips!

The first of these is to hike the Kalalau Trail. However, be warned that this is an adventure that is not for the fainthearted, especially people who have a fear of heights.
