Making Your Yard a Peaceful Place With DealDash

With all of the deadlines and hustle and bustle of life sometimes it’s nice to just come home and relax outside by your beautiful lawn. But what if your lawn isn’t so beautiful and peaceful?

As someone who is easily stressed out I crave quiet time alone just sitting outside on my deck that looks out over my lawn. However, after some poor lawn management last year my yard isn’t looking so nice. Luckily for me DealDash has plenty of things that can perk up my backyard to make it not only beautiful, but a peaceful and tranquil place that I can go and escape my worries for a few minutes.

I find the sound of running or trickling water extremely relaxing and peaceful. One of the first things that I would like to get to perk up my backyard is a fountain from DealDash.  The fountains that DealDash offers are made to last season after season, and they are constructed of stone powder and polyresin so they will be durable for outside use. If you think that a fountain would look great in your yard, garden, or patio you can check out this link here to see the fountains that DealDash is offering for auction.

Another thing that I have always admired in other people’s backyards is when there is a bench overlooking the yard, instead of just some lawn chairs. Benches lend a touch of class and they don’t break the bank, either. Benches are great if you want to share a seat with your kids or your sweetheart, and some benches even have gliding features built in for a soothing rocking effect. If you’re interested in checking out the benches up for offer on DealDash just click this link here and it will show you some different styles.

Just Keep Swimming With DealDash

Today’s article is all about swimming! Not only is swimming fun it’s also great for your health and an important life skill to have.

Okay, let’s see a show of hands – who knows how to swim? All of you?! Excellent! As I’m sure you already know, swimming is a wonderful life skill to have that is a wonderful gift that you can give to your children. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) There are approximately 3,500 fatal unintentional drownings (non-boating related) annually in the United States —  that’s about ten deaths per day. An additional 347 people died each year from drowning in boating-related incidents. About one in five people who die from drowning are children age 14 and younger. As you can see from these statistics it’s extremely important that you and your children know how to swim, just in case.

In addition to swimming being a skill that everyone should master, it’s also extremely healthy and good for your body. Even elderly people who have trouble walking long distances can usually swim for their health and enjoyment because in the water you are practically weightless, so therefore there is very little stress on your bones, ligaments, and joints that can lead to pain.

Swimming is a good all-round activity because it:
  • keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body.
  • builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness.
  • helps maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs.
  • tones muscles and builds strength.

If the safety and health benefits aren’t enough reasons for you to go swimming, then how about the fact that swimming is extremely fun an loved by both young and old? Every single kid I know loves going to the pool, and most of the adults enjoy taking them as well. Swimming is a great family activity because everyone can participate, even babies can get in the water as long as they are being helped by Mommy or Daddy.

Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to go somewhere to get all of the great benefits of swimming? Well, thanks so DealDash you can! DealDash occasionally has above ground pools up for auction as well as all manner of pool accessories and toys.

Getting Your Summer Body With Help From DealDash

 

Everyone wants to look great for the summer, but most of us probably indulged a but too much during the holidays. DealDash is here to help.

There are lots of different ways to get healthy and regain that awesome body for summer, but almost all of the different ways are just a variation on the good old fashioned advice “Eat less and exercise more.” No matter what your fitness level, from couch potato to grandma to stressed out office worker most everyone is capable of taking a short walk every day. You might wonder, though, exactly how far you are walking and what exactly you’re doing to help your body. DealDash has a solution for that.

Most of us are familiar with the old pedometers that count your steps. There is anew breed of computerized pedometers that can not only track your steps but also connect with your computer via a small WIFI dongle to upload all of your information, keep track of it, and help you meet your fitness goals. Some of these trackers can even keep track of your sleeping and help you sleep better, which is also key in having better fitness. If you’re interested in learning more about these new high tech pedometers check them out on DealDash at this link right here.

If you’re most interested in boosting your fitness and getting a beach body by walking and keeping track of your steps a great item to pair with your pedometer would be a treadmill. A treadmills are great for letting you get a workout accomplished during any time of the night or day and in any kind of weather.

Let’s look at it this way – treadmills are the indoor motorized equivalent of walking or running in place. You simply keep up with a belt that’s moving under your feet. Your treadmill workout will burn about the same number of calories as walking or running outdoors, yet in your lovely air conditioned, TV with cable, and internet equipped house. DealDash has a selection of treadmills that come up for auction. If you would like to check them out please click on this link here. If you are interested in one of these treadmills please click on the “Alert Me” button on the auction’s home page and you will receive an email when the auction for that particular item is about to begin.

Please remember, if you are just getting started on your road to fitness and you’re someone who hasn’t had any strenuous physical activity for at least three months, it’s recommended that you begin with walking. By training consistently (initially twice a week and then three times a week), you can gradually increase the intensity of your exercise by increasing your speed and incline.

If you have been sedentary for 6 months or more it would be an extremely good idea to have a check up with your doctor to make sure that you are healthy enough to start a fitness program. Also, they might be able to give you some great tips on fitness taking into account your own personal medical history.

 

In addition to exercising eating healthily is a huge part of fitness. Please check back on the DealDash blog this Wednesday for some more tips on fitness and getting your best body for summer.

Time to Start the Garden With DealDash

It’s spring and time to start your garden! Let’s see what items that DealDash has that can help.

Growing your own vegetables is fun, rewarding, and can save you money. All you really need to get started is some decent soil and a few plants, but to be a really successful vegetable gardener you are going to need some supplies. DealDash has you covered.

Starting with the absolute basics aside from soil and plants, you are going to need some tools. DealDash has an awesome tool kit that’s just perfect for beginning your garden. Here is what the kit includes:

  • Leaf and flower trimmer
  • Water spray bottle
  • Branch and twig pruner
  • Spade
  • Trowel

If you have even a small amount of space on a patio, deck, or balcony then a small raised garden bed might be the best bet for you to try. DealDash has a small Raised Garden Bed Kit that can provide you with an easy way to grow and display herbs, flowers or vegetables in smaller spaces. It’s made from recycled wood and plastic, the raised garden kit assembles easily with no tools.

Getting Ready for Summer Fun With DealDash

It’s just barely spring, but I am already excited about summer! Let’s see what we need to do to prepare for the season ahead.

First things first, you need to make sure that your lawn mower is in good working order. If your lawn mower is older or broken, maybe you should think about getting a new one for spring and summer. My lawn has started growing back in again after the cold winter, and my husband is going to need to go out and mow it pretty soon. DealDash has a few different types of mowers, both the gas type and the electric type. If you are in the market for a new lawn mower for this year, how about checking out DealDash’s mowers at this link here.

Since you are checking out the lawn mowers, maybe you should check out the weed edgers and trimmers. DealDash has both the electric and the battery powered type. You might think that edging your lawn isn’t the most fun thing to do, and I would agree with you, however, if you want your lawn to look great it’s something that needs to be done. If you edge fairly frequently, so every two weeks, it’s not that time consuming and can be finished up pretty quickly. If you would like to check out the selection of lawn edgers on DealDash you can do that at this link here.

I’m sure you’re saying “Enough with the yard work, let’s have some fun!” Well don’t you worry, DealDash has plenty of opportunities for fun as well. There is a relatively new product that DealDash has only been offering for a short time, but it’s awesome for summer fun.

The summer fun item that I would like to suggest is one of the new wheeled hoverboards. There are many different makes and models of the wheeled hoverboard, but they all have the same basic functions.  They are all a type of portable, rechargeable battery-powered scooter. They also typically consist of two wheels arranged side-by-side, with two small platforms between the wheels, on which the rider stands. The device is controlled by the rider’s feet, standing on the built-in gyroscopic, sensored pads. I have never personally ridden one, but they certainly look like fun, many of the teens in my neighborhood have them and can be seen riding up and down the street having a wonderful time. If you’re interested in checking them out, here is the link to see them on DealDash.

I hope that you are having a lovely spring so far, but let’s get ready for summer! If you’d like to check out even more great things try the Hobbies, Toys, Outdoors, and Games section on DealDash at this link here. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
