All you really need to pamper yourself is a small goal and a little bit of time. For instance, if all you have is 15 minutes you could make a cup of tea and watch some fun YouTube videos in the time it would take you to drink that tea. Later at night, pop on your favorite relaxing album and pour yourself a glass of wine. If you have 30 minutes make yourself a bowl of ice cream and get lost in some mindless reality TV. Or you could call up an old friend and set the clock for 30 minutes of catch up conversation.
If you’ve got an hour why not head off to the gym? Try 20 minutes of cardio workout and the rest of the time in the sauna reading a magazine. You could even take a car ride to some scenic overlook and watch the sunset (or rise!). If you’ve got three hours then grab a book and head out to your nearest java joint for a endless latte and a good read or go on a picnic lunch with a friend.
As mentioned the common dominator in all those potential pampering sessions is time. There isn’t much you can do about your work schedule short of calling in sick or taking a vacation day. The best time for a little pampering will probably come during the weekend but even then it’s hard to find the time that is unless you get a little help. That help could come from a company like Junk King Nashville.
Coming home every day to stacks of junk in your garage isn’t pleasant. The same can be said for every time you go down in the basement to do laundry and find yourself tripping over stuff you wish you could get rid of. Hiring Junk King Nashville means getting throwing out that unwanted junk was never easier. Imagine how long it would take for two or three strong Junk King crew team members to remove whatever you want from your house. In many cases, you could fill up the Junk King truck in less than an hour. As they drive away, you can start your pampering. On the other hand, if you had to take on that job by yourself you’d renting the truck and then driving it all over Nashville looking for a proper dumping spot. How long will that take? Probably most of your day off. It doesn’t have to be that way when Junk King Nashville takes on the assignment. Getting rid of junk and having the time to pamper yourself: that’s a perfect combination!
Nothing says, “Welcome to Nashville” like clean rest stops. At least that’s the philosophy behind the new move from the Department of Environment and Conservation, the Department of Transportation and the Tourist Development agency of Tennessee. They’ve all gotten together and implemented a new program which is putting recycling bins at the many visitor welcome centers located along the state’s highways leading into Nashville.
What to do with your Christmas tree might depend on what kind of backyard you have. There is a growing eco-friendly movement that puts forth the idea if you are going to take from the earth you should give back to the earth. How does that apply to an old Christmas tree? Well, you could drag it out to your backyard and leave it out for a kind of bird sanctuary. The little feathered ones could find it to provide decent shelter. If you’ve got a garden, the tree could spend the winter decomposing. Going that route would mean stripping off the branches for a more even distribution of the newly formed mulch.
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.
Recently, the east coast took a major pounding from the super storm Hurricane Sandy. This was what meteorologists were calling the perfect storm in the sense that is gathered it strength from multiple weather sources to create havoc up and down the coast.
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.
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.
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 
How much room do you really need? That’s the question facing many Nashville residents as they consider whether or not to downsize their living arrangements. There have even been some dedicated downsizers who pledge to simply cut everything by half. That counts for their car and their house! The immediate benefit of downsizing is a surplus of cash in your wallet. Not only would you be saving money on mortgage payments or rent but you’d also be spending a lot less on all your electric, water and heating bills. If downsizing means moving out of your home but you’re just not ready for that big of a leap, you might consider taking in a boarder or roommate.
