WNY Destination Spotlight: Niagara Falls

WNY Destination Spotlight: Niagara Falls

This month we are highlighting Niagara Falls, courtesy of Vicki Leavens!

One of the many breathtaking sites in WNY is definitely Niagara Falls. It is only about 30 minutes away from the Buffalo area and it’s something everyone should experience. The waterfalls, referred to by us locals as “The Falls”, straddle the Canadian and United States border. There are 3 waterfalls that make up The Falls; the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls.

Besides standing with the crowd and looking down at the Falls, you can also take tours that bring you much closer. One of the many activities offered is the Maid of the Mist boat tour which takes you up close. But don’t forget your poncho! There’s also the Cave of the Winds, which is a tour that takes you beneath the Falls.

Summertime isn’t the only time that the Falls are a WNY hotspot. During the winter months there is a Winter Festival of Lights where everything is decorated for the holidays, including the Falls!

If relaxing is more your cup of tea, Niagara Falls is a fantastic place to people watch and take in the scenery. You can take a stroll in one of the nearby parks and grab a snack from one of the street vendors. The possibilities are endless in Niagara Falls!

Vicki said her favorite thing to do is watch the Falls fall and gush over the top.

Thank you, Vicki, for sharing this awesome WNY destination!

Staying Focused In The Summer

Leave a reply

Whether you are busy starting a new job, immersed in a career search, or just trying to keep up with your usual workload, summer can be a difficult time to achieve your goals. Vacations, beautiful weather, and kids home for the summer all make it harder to stay focused.

If you are having trouble staying focused, have no fear. Follow these tips to make your summer as productive as it can be.

Shift your schedule with the season. During the hot summer months, you may want to start work earlier so that you can leave at a time that allows you to still enjoy the summer day. If that schedule is not for you, consider going in later than usual to enjoy the peaceful and cool morning hours of summertime.

Increase your offline work. Who says vacations can’t be productive? Use your time at the pool to brainstorm your next big idea, read a book that will improve your management skills, or listen to a podcast that sparks your creativity.

Work on your biggest priorities in the morning. This is a good strategy year round, but especially when you are facing distraction. Tackle your biggest job first, and use the rest of the day to take on your small tasks.

Take time to relax. If everyone else in your office is going on vacation, you are sure to get vacation-envy. Carve out some time for yourself to get away and come back refreshed and ready to go!

Have a great summer and make sure to stay focused!
