Enliven Your Next Zoom Call This Holiday Season With a Virtual “Xperience Kit” (Live Celeb Chef Instruction Included)

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

At this point in 2020, the novelty of catching up with friends, family and co-workers through video chat has definitely worn off. We’re tired of trying to spice up our “Zoomunions” with games, book clubs and karaoke. (We’ve tried it all at this point.)

But here’s a fun idea with the holidays fast-approaching: Craft a cocktail, cook a meal or decorate cookies virtually. Even better? Get the ingredients and tools you need delivered right to your door, and let a well-known chef hop on the video call and walk you all through the process step by step — live!

Nope. This isn’t just another meal kit situation. HUNGRY, an Arlington-based catering company that’s backed by celebrities like Jay-Z and Usher, is offering virtual DIY Xperiences, and they’re a creative way to spend virtual time with your friends, family and co-workers this holiday season. (Or they could make the perfect gift!)

Here’s how it works: Check out all of HUNGRY’s Virtual Xperiences. These include holiday cookie decorating and boozy hot cocoa (which includes making homemade whipped cream), homemade butternut squash ravioli making and cozy cocktail mixing. There are dozens of options.

Next, you’ll schedule your experience. When the day arrives, each participant (no matter where they live in the U.S.) gets all the fresh ingredients and tools they need delivered to their doorsteps.

Then, at your scheduled time, a celebrity chef or mixologist will lead your hour-long live virtual experience, walking you through the step-by-step process of decorating cookies with royal icing, mixing up some boozy hot cocoa or even brining a turkey.

And you’ll probably recognize a few of the chefs who’ve made appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Food Network.

Schedule your virtual Xperience today — so you don’t have to sit through another game of Zoom charades.

Have Your Thanksgiving Feast Delivered to Your Door From RSVP Catering

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

With the holidays right around the corner, we’re feeling a glimmer of excitement — but we’re also very, very tired.

It’s been quite the year, so if you’re not in the mood to prepare a whole Thanksgiving feast this year, we get it. Also, with many families cancelling travel plans and get-togethers due to COVID, is it really worth spending an entire day in the kitchen for just a few people?

If you’re hemming and hawing over what to do, consider keeping things simple this year with RSVP Catering’s curated holiday meals — delivered straight to your doorstep.

Whether you’re a Thanksgiving party of two or you’re feeding your whole family, you can order anything from individual meals to entire spreads, featuring roasted turkey or cajun fried turkey with stuffing and gravy.

Or, hey, if you’d rather just fill up on sides and desserts this year, no one will judge. Go all out with deep-dish corn custard, mac ‘n’ cheese, pimento mashed potatoes, butternut squash apple bisque and sweet potato biscuits. Finish the meal with apple crisp cheesecake, a rustic pear tart or pumpkin butterscotch cookies — or all of the above.

RSVP Catering has a ton of options, including gluten-free, plant-based and keto-friendly dishes.

This is also a simple way to share some love and appreciation this year. If you can’t get together with family, friends or coworkers, you can send them a holiday meal, dessert or even a whole turkey — anything to brighten their day.

RSVP Catering is making Thanksgiving deliveries throughout the DMV area, so head over to its website to check out the menu (fair warning: it’ll make you hungry!) and place your order.

Bathroom Startup Uses Technology To Save Homeowners Money

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

Type “Why are bathroom renovations” into Google and the first result suggested is “…so expensive.” After saving for a new home, home improvement projects are the most common reason Americans save money.

Most people believe having a bathroom that makes them happy is a worthwhile investment, yet are surprised by how much it costs.

Why is renovating a 40-square-foot space so costly? Pricey fixtures and the specialized skills required are partly to blame. However, some costs are embedded within the industry:

  • “Free” quotes are expensive: On average, contractors spend 25 percent of their time building quotes for jobs they will not win. Those costs need to be recouped.
  • Expense overestimation: Whether purposeful, unintentional or a little bit of both, contractors often significantly overestimate the cost of materials and effort on a project.
  • Professional design: Having a professional design your bathroom is considered a luxury service and carries a luxury price tag.
  • Limited visualization opportunity: Consumer Reports identifies a primary cause of price overruns as homeowners who change their mind regarding finishes or colors after they’ve been applied.

In 2016, remodeling industry veteran Chad Hall believed these inefficiencies could be eliminated by taking advantage of emerging technologies — so he founded remodelmate.

Eliminating the time-consuming process of in-home quotes, remodelmate gives homeowners free access to an app that uses advanced smartphone camera technology to generate a near-perfect 3D model of their existing bathroom. The scan is then applied to a quote-building system, generating a final labor price for the customer as well as a precise materials list for the contractor, eliminating overestimation.

To address the professional design and visualization issues, remodelmate employs CGI (computer-generated imagery) to apply homeowner color and finish selections to a model of their new bathroom. The results are photo-quality images showing the customer exactly what their new bathroom will look like before construction begins.

How To Keep Your Skin Glowing While Wearing a Mask

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

As you may have noticed by now, wearing our masks can cause unwanted effects on our skin.

The most important thing you can do to prevent breakouts and irritation is to keep your skin clean and well moisturized. Before and after wearing your mask, cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser then apply a fragrance-free, non comedogenic moisturizer to your skin.

For a deeper skin reset, Broadband Light Therapy (BBL) has been a saving grace at ProMD Health during this pandemic. The intense pulsed light energy of BBL can safely penetrate the top layer of skin to stimulate cell regeneration and collagen production, which can clear up acne and prevent its return. Increased collagen production can make your skin smoother, more vibrant, minimize pores and give it an even, glowing tone.

The entire procedure is very quick. You should expect to spend between 30 minutes to one hour getting treated. In the days following treatment, you’re going to notice that your breakouts are healing, fine lines are less noticeable, your pores are smaller and your skin feels smoother.

Call ProMD Health today at 410-449-2060 or visit them online to schedule your free BBL consultation.

There are so many wonderful spaces to gather in this home. Dine surrounded by walls of windows. Have great conversations by a cozy fire in the living room or in the rec room downstairs. Prepare dinners together in the renovated gourmet kitchen. The upper level is currently the “Owner’s Retreat” with room for two to work from home, but guests or other family members could take over the upstairs as well. The playroom off the kitchen could also be a dining room, breakfast room or home office. There are so many possibilities.

Spend weekends with your friends and family instead of mowing this low-maintenance lawn. Enjoy three great outdoor spaces — a huge screened porch where you can dine, lounge or make an outdoor movie space. Then there’s an additional large deck that’s perfect for barbecues. And don’t forget the fire pit area where you can spend evenings making s’mores.

Celebrate Diwali This Month With a 15 Percent Off Your Order at Delhi Dhaba

By ARLnow.com Sponsor

This month, mainstay Arlington Indian restaurant Delhi Dhaba is celebrating Diwali, a five-day festival of lights, with a “lit” discount.

When you spend $25 or more, you’ll get 15 percent off your entire order automatically — no promo code or jumping through hoops required.

You can fill up on appetizers (how about vegetable samosas or fried Indian cheese?); order a $40 Family Meal, which includes two appetizers and chicken entrees, a vegetarian entree, and two orders of Naan and rice; or get a “Taste of India” with a sampling of a golden turmeric latte appetizer, your choice of entree and a side. It even offers a healthy selection of wine and beer to go.

If you’re not familiar with Diwali, it’s one of India’s biggest and most important holidays, and it’s been celebrated for thousands of years. The festival spans five days, and celebrates the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. After the year we’ve had, we can get behind that sentiment.

Although traditionally those celebrating the holiday prepare by cleaning their homes and dressing in their finest clothes, that’s not totally necessary here. All you have to do is order your Diwali feast online or call 703-524-0008 to place your order, and you’ll automatically get that 15 percent discount for the rest of the month.

Happy Diwali, Arlington!

Delhi Dhaba is open Monday through Friday from 4-10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 12-10 p.m. Stop by its location at 2424 N. Wilson Boulevard or give them a call at 703-524-0008.
