When was the last time you actually cleaned out your fridge? Let’s be honest? I personally clean mine out every other week with a huge deep clean every month. Here’s the thing, you’re using cleaning products under your kitchen sink which I personally recommend stopping. So I’ve partnered with Art of Green® to show you an alternative to the cleaning products you’re used to working with. Art of Green products is designed to be totally effective (yes, they cut the grease and grime just as good as the other guys) and smell great.
Here are some quick and dirty tips to keep your fridge clean. Make sure you check everything for expiration dates- that means condiments too! Empty out your fridge and wipe things down using the Art of Gree wipes. Things leak- it’s inevitable. So generously spray the shelves, drawers, and inside of the fridge with Art of Green multi-purpose spray. Give a few extra shots to sticky messes. Close the fridge and let the spray sit for a few minutes. Scrub out with a sponge. If you’re ever in doubt of how long something’s been in there then toss it out. It’s better to spend a couple of minutes in your fridge bi-weekly than wonder what’s that smell weeks later. Another thing don’t forget your condenser coils too! Coils in most newer models reside under the front kick plate. Remove the plate and use and vacuum attachment to get dust, debris and pet hair off the coils. This can help extend the life of your refrigerator!
Art of Green is a biodegradable formula that is non-toxic meaning no harsh chemicals and is made of at least 98% natural ingredients. In other words, it’s safe to use around kids and pets. So you can rest easy knowing that one of the benefits of Art of Green being a green alternative is that the non-toxic formula is free of parabens, phthalates, glycol solvents, artificial color or phosphates. Art of green is only available at HEB so make sure you add it to your list when you shop there.

Le’ts be real, it hardly ever rains in San Antonio but when it does chances are you’ve already got that hygge system down- unless you have to go to work. If you don’t and you’re lucky enough to enjoy yourself here are a few ways to enjoy the rainy day to the fullest.
Grab a Bowl at KungFu Noodle!
The weather might suck and the only way to truly cure those rainy day blues is a big bowl of noodles. My recommendation is to go to Lucky Noodle, sit in a booth and enjoy it.

Catch a Movie at the Bijou
What better way to pass the day than by watching an indie flick at the Bijou. Maybe you’re into foreign films? If you’re not into either they have some popular movies too and you can order a bite to eat while you enjoy the movie.
Driveaway Any Rainy Day Sadness at Andretti Indoor Karting and Games
I mean this place has it all. So if you’ve got a picky bunch- here’s the spot. From go-karts to bowling, to games and laser tag it’s almost promised you will have too much fun.
Find a Book at the Local San Antonio Public Library
It’s no secret, I love books. Why not explore all the floors the public library has to offer? From fiction to nonfiction and everything in between. Or you could pick up a cookbook and…
Shop at Central Market and Make a Great Recipe
...spend the afternoon picking up some ingredients from the Gucci-B and make a meal with your friends. I met a couple once that legit is cooking their way through an Anthony Bourdain Cookbook.
Challenge Yourself at Armadillo Boulders
Ever wanted to try out climbing? Now here’s your chance to explore that avenue. Their climbing challenges are always changing so you’ll experience something new each time- and they have yoga. One thing- before you visit make sure you’ve signed the waiver.
Talk Arty to Your Friends at SAMA
Going to the San Antonio Museum of Arts is one of my favorite things to do. Mostly, because art is one of the things I grew up with but also because a stroll can totally get you inspired.
Swing Those Blues away at Top Golf
What’s more fun than swinging some golf clubs? If you’re looking for some multi-level fun have a few rounds of golf then the choice is obvious.
Grab a drink or two at Francis Bogside
I know it’s they’re technically a modern Irish Pub but sometimes you wanna read outside your home and coffee shops just don’t cut it. Their seating is reminiscent of great reading nooks, they’ve got snacks and drinks- like the perfect adult reading spot.
Learn about some Texas History at the Witte
Anyone else grow-up going to field trips at the Witte? Make a scavenger hunt out of the day and then challenge your friends with who can find certain things and post them on social media. Totally a winner there.
Indoor Minigolf For the Win
Ok, so Monster Mini Golf might not sound like it’s your thing- but trust me it is. A) you’re inside a building, b) you’re playing competitively with your friends and c) it’s in the dark so chances are someone might mess up.
Grab a Cup of Joe at Shotgun Roasters
Again- the key to a successful rainy day is capitalizing on the moodiness of the day. There’s a certain vibe that just feels right about a rainy day. So if you’re cold a great coffee will warm you. If you’re a coffee shop reader then bring books and enjoy them here. I just like the coziness this shop (actually both) offer.
Try a New Beer at the Flying Saucer
Do I have any beer fans reading? If so this is the spot. Of course, plan accordingly and try a few new beers. Maybe google a random place generator and order a beer from that place. You’ll never know if you don’t try it.
Strikeout at Bowl and Barrel
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much at my failure in life than when I decide to try bowling. No amount of Jesus will ever help. Now imagine your friends in that position. Hilarity ensued.
While I am a child of the sun- I am always up for a fun rainy day. I made a list of things I’d like to be invited to… be my friend.
