A Clean Space Is Your Happy Place

We try hard to keep our environment clean, for fresh air, less pollution and climate change. But on a more personal level, we should have clean place for ourselves at home.  Two simple and effective things to keep in mind are your bed and your shoes.

Home Is Where You Lay Your Head

Pay attention to your bed. We sweat when we sleep, so pillowcases and bedsheets become dirty. Since we stay in bed for at least 8 hours overnight, we actually breathe the dirty air!

So keep your bed clean. Wash pillowcases and bedsheets weekly to kick any dirt and bacteria to the curb.

Old bedding tends to collect dirt and grime, so it's best to replace them, at least once a year is a good rule of thumb.

Choose soft, comfortable sheets in one of your favorite colors. Sleeping on new sheets is a great little luxury with the immediate boost in comfort and fresh air.

Nice Kicks

Shoes are some of the dirtiest items you'll ever keep in your house. Take them off and leave them near the front door so they don't track in all the unknown unknowns from outdoors. Clean your shoes often to wash off the buildup.

Replace older shoes if washing them proves to be ineffective.

Clean, well kept shoes will keep your house clean and your feet happy, and a nice pair of kicks always leaves a good impression for friends and strangers alike.

Happy Mother's Day

Moms! We All Love You. Thank You For Everything !

No gift can express our appreciation fully!

Health Benefits Of Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate is high in minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc, and it contains complex compounds like anti-oxidants and phenols that may fight aging, improve blood flow and help cholesterol levels.

The darker the chocolate, the better: look for products that are labeled "% Cacao" or simply "%".

All chocolate is still high in calories, so enjoy in moderation. Aim for the highest % cacao that still tastes good to you. Eating high quality chocolate may even shift your preferences over time, so keep testing the waters to find your favorites!

Be Prepared For Natural Disasters

This year's harsh hurricane season reminds us that disasters can devastate people and communities. Different areas can be subject to hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and flooding from various events. Each type of event also has its own problems that need to be solved. Here are some considerations:

Supplies

Food and water are of the utmost importance for survival. Freeze dried food and factory-sealed water are best.

Light sources are important. Keep flashlights and factory sealed batteries available.  As soon as batteries are placed in a device they will slowly drain even if removed.

Maintain first aid kits with bandages and medicines.

Storage

Find dry locations with cool, stable temperatures. Places like closets and basements are good, as long as they aren't too close to things like heaters and furnaces. However, remember which disasters are most likely in your area and plan accordingly. For example, basements are likely to flood.

Mobility and Distribution

Don't hoard everything in one place. Disasters are unpredictable, and you may get cut off from your food and water due structural damage or scattered belongings. Tuck supplies around the house, like under beds. If collapsed buildings is a major concern, consider burying necessities in a more open space.

Have a getaway kit in your car, workplace and any rendezvous points.

Be safe, and be prepared.

Stylish Eyewear To Protect Your Peepers

Sunglasses will not only complete an ensemble and give you your own sense of style, but it will also protect your eyes from various dangers and irritants.

• Harmful ultraviolet rays (be sure they block both UVA and UVB)
• Airborn dirt that can scratch your eyes
• Annoying high winds

For heavier activities like sports or hiking look into sports sunglasses for their higher damage resistance and special features.  Certain activities like high altitude mountain climbing will have their own special requirements.

Young children have especially vulnerable eyes, so be sure to protect them with a good pair of sunglasses.

Use LED Lights At Home For Big Savings

LED lights are energy efficient, consuming only 15% of energy of traditional light bulbs. They last for about 10 years vs. 5 years for fluorescents and 6 months for incandescents.


The more lights are used in an area, the more energy switching them to LEDs will save. Below are good places to use LEDs:

1. "Always on" outdoor lights for the front door, yard, driveway, etc. Overnight usage can add up to 8 hours or more.
2. Kitchen area where cooking 3 meals can add up to 5 hours a day.
3. Living and dining room where families spend much of their time.
4. Study rooms and home offices where we may burn the midnight oil.

Solar powered lights are great for gardens, driveways and patios. Built in solar cells eliminate the need for electricity and wires.
