Have you ever seen professional athletes on the sidelines of a game getting stretched by a trainer? Or, even in middle and high school athletics, maybe you had a coach who would shout before practices or games, “Don’t forget to stretch!”

Stretching has always played a vital role in the world of sports, particularly on the professional level, because it helps the players’ health, wellness, and, in some cases, even performances. But the benefits of stretching don’t just apply to athletes, and stretching doesn’t have to be limited to the world of professional sports!

Are you a casual golfer or tennis player? Do you have back pain that just won’t go away? Is moving from one place to the next too difficult or uncomfortable? Stretch Zone — a practitioner-assisted stretch studio — will help!

Stretch Zone is the only nationally accredited stretch franchise, with patented equipment and The Stretch Zone Method®. This special equipment and method is utilized by a specially-trained Stretch Zone Practitioner, yet you are always in control of the stretch because it is customized specifically to you! Being stretched is completely safe and totally comfortable because, as owner Helen Martin explains, “stretching should never hurt!” Stretch Zone’s patented straps are designed to make you feel safe similar to a thunder jacket for a pet. You are guided through a warm-up stretch to assess your range of motion. Then comes the full 30-minute stretch to help you feel better and achieve your goals. The Stretch Zone Method® has been making profound differences in people’s lives. Helen has directly seen and heard about these life-changing results from her clients, some of whom have been coming to get stretched for the past 6 years, since Helen opened her first Stretch Zone in Stuart in 2014.

An even more remarkable testament to Stretch Zone’s extraordinary impact are the letters that Helen receives from the family members of her clients. Once, Helen received a message of thanks from a grandson whose grandfather could barely walk to the mailbox before visiting Stretch Zone. The grandson’s letter also contained pictures of him and his grandfather on a walking trip together in Europe.

“We’re helping people. And that’s what it’s all about,” Helen says.

Need More Coupons - MyLivingMagazine.com Experience the Extraordinary at Smiley Riley’s Ice Cream Lounge

by Gabby Gregory

When Liz Porteus and her daughter, Riley, moved to Florida, they were disappointed that they could not find any ice cream shops like the ones at home up North. They only joked about opening one themselves to fill the void, but then the opportunity arose for Liz to actually learn how to make homemade ice cream. Suddenly, the joke became an impressive reality, and Smiley Riley’s Ice Cream Lounge was born! Liz and Riley, along with Liz’s niece Haley, have brought the quality ice cream shop experience they love to Vero Beach. Smiley Riley’s Ice Cream Lounge is not just any ordinary ice cream shop with run-of-the-mill, processed products that are shipped in from somewhere else! “One of the things that we insist on is making everything homemade, to make sure that the quality is there... We make everything right here,” Liz explains. That’s right, every day the ice cream at Smiley Riley’s is made fresh onsite to ensure that customers enjoy a high-quality, gourmet product that they cannot find anywhere else! Smiley Riley’s not only serves their superior ice cream in classic flavors you love, like cookie dough and butter pecan, but also in exclusive ones that you cannot find anywhere else, such as unicorn poop (pink and blue cotton candy-flavored ice cream swirled with Lucky Charms™ marshmallows). With over 30 homemade flavors to choose from, Smiley’s Riley has something for everyone! 18 VOL. 521 E If you’re 21+, then you can even find 15 different flavors of homemade alcohol-infused ice cream. I personally sampled the Kahlua fudge and can attest that it’s incredible – the ice cream is super soft and creamy, with rich coffee and chocolate flavors that are complemented by a slight warmth from the alcohol. The alcohol-infused flavors have all the delights of a cocktail, just minus the hangover! If you somehow cannot find the flavor of ice cream you want, then simply ask to buy a gallon of your own custom flavor. If Smiley Riley’s has the ingredients, then they’ll craft that ice cream just for you! Your custom flavor can also be incorporated into one of the shop’s ice cream cakes for a special occasion. Smiley Riley’s offers round ice cream cakes in various flavors and sizes, from 4” to 10”, with the option to add a second layer with filling. Order your cake creation within 72 hours of your event and Smiley Riley’s will have it ready for you! If you’re short on time, then just stop by the store to pick up a ready-made ice cream cake from their freezer. The professional staff will happily write a quick message in icing on it for you! If you’re looking for additional treats, you’ll find delectable homemade cookie ice cream sandwiches ready-togo in the freezer as well.

The next time you have a hankering for ice cream, don’t settle for the same ol’ flavors that you can find in any grocery store… enjoy fresh, homemade ice cream that is anything but ordinary at Smiley Riley’s! Take a drive to their lounge to relax and savor their unique, high quality flavors. You can even order ahead on their website for quick pick-up service. If you’re not in the mood for travel, then you can order delivery through the Smiley Riley’s website as well! As long as you live within a 5-mile radius, you can get ice cream brought straight to your door. Visit Smiley Riley’s between now and August 7 for their “Back to School Special” – $2 kiddie cake cones! While you’re there, join the Smiley Riley’s Loyalty Program. On your 10th visit, you can spin the Prize Wheel for a chance to win their Grand Prize – a free small ice cream every week for a year! For delicious, homemade treats served by friendly, smiling faces, look no further than Smiley Riley’s Ice Cream Lounge! Liz, along with Riley and store manager Haley, warmly invite you in to taste their extraordinary ice cream.
