It sometimes doesn’t take much to get your home ready for the holidays. A few simple touches will go a long way towards making your home warm and inviting. Think of it in terms of accents. For instance, you could bring in some throw pillows in red or green that would lend a festive atmosphere to any room. Swapping out lamp shades for a cooler tone can also help improve the feel of a particular room. If you have the safe space for candles, try to get a mirror to place underneath them. This will help reflect the glow of the candlelight throughout the room.
The other thing you may want to do is make sure you get rid of the clutter. The small stuff like magazines, newspapers or junkmail is easy to gather up and toss out.

How good is your garbage shot? We’re talking about the “basket” you can make with a crumbled up ball of paper. It would seem wired into our DNA that if you have a crumbled up ball of paper you’re going to try and make the shot whether the garbage basket is across the room or over your shoulder. Some folks are so serious about garbage basketball that there are mobile phone apps dedicated to the “sport.” No doubt there is a tournament starting up somewhere today! This brings up the point of how easy it is to throw something out while other items are a bit more of a challenge. Essentially, if you can toss something in the garbage you will. For everything else, there is the tendency to hold onto that item and allow it to take over space in your home. We’re talking about all those bulky items and the best way of getting rid of them is by hiring a professional.
There’s a new trend in the Nashville gym scene and you can thank Netflix…. sort of. When Netflix started sending DVD rentals directly into the home they changed the way folks rented videos. That left a lot of major video rental chains closing up shop. However, those were big storefronts that shouldn’t go to waste. Enter Workout Anytime. This is a chain of new gyms that have moved into the empty warehouse type video stores and converted them over to a gym with all the bells and whistles. The big hook here is that these gyms are open 24 hours a day. That means you can literally workout whenever you want to.
It looks as though the hot temperatures are going to be with us for awhile. Will your air conditioner withstand another few months of blasting cool air throughout your home? If not it might be time to make the switch to a new model. You could be in a good position for a purchase like that because most retailers are looking to clear out their “summer” items like air conditioners.
Tennessee has the dubious distinction of being the state with the most active landfills in all the country. In fact, back in 1994 there were only 12 construction waste landfills while today there are 80. The cost of collecting, processing and hauling solid waste is around $160 a ton. That adds up to $1.4 billion in trash collection costs just for the Nashville area. Clearly, increasing recycling efforts could bring those numbers down but recycling also has another positive impact on the economy: it creates more jobs. That is according to a study conducted by the College of Charleston. They crunched the numbers and found out that if Tennessee could recycle just 4 million tons or half of what goes to the landfills the state could create around 6,000 jobs. That’s a terrific goal to shoot for.
On the long list of preventable illness are heat-related injuries. When the temperatures begin to rise it’s natural to want to go outdoors and enjoy the sun. However, the hotter it gets the more risk there is for heat stroke. Over exposure to any element is not going to be good for the body. What’s ironic is that one of the signs of a heat stroke is when a person stops sweating. Our bodies are wired to handle certain levels of extreme heat by generating sweat and cooling off. Yes, we sweat because it’s hot that’s actually a good thing. With the record setting temperatures occurring around Nashville many elderly and very young folks will find themselves at greater risk of a heat related injury. Here’s what you can do to stay cool.
As a word, “junk” has gotten a pretty bad rap. We all know we’re not supposed to eat junk food. A junked car can’t be driven. Pretty much anything that can be tossed away is junk. There is one business that should make you rethink the word “junk” and that would be
