SIMPLE DECORATION STRATEGIES FOR A STYLISH LIVING ROOM

Kitterman Woods — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 22:54:13 +0000

Moving into our Kitterman Woods Apartment gives you the chance to set up a beautiful home. The challenge is creating an attractive living room that invites you to relax and allows you to entertain. You want a balance of style and comfort that makes you feel at home. By focusing on careful decoration strategies, you can enjoy a stylish living room.

SELECT FURNITURE WITH CARE

When you pick out furniture for your living room, focus on items that double as storage. An ottoman gives you a comfortable place to put your feet, but it can also store items when you are not using them. You can pick out furniture with multiple functions in a variety of styles and looks. The key advantage of furniture that doubles as storage or has more than one function is that it helps you keep the room clear of clutter for a clean and efficient appearance.

PICK ONE WORK OF ART

Create a focal point when you walk into the room that makes a statement about your style with a single work of art. Opt for a large painting or a similar large piece that captures your attention and adds a touch of color to your room.

Do not break up your wall with multiple works of art. It will distract visitors and make your space appear cluttered or uncomfortable. A single large painting makes a statement about your style and draws the eyes without causing distractions from other furniture.

MAKE USE OF COLOR

You want to create a cozy and comfortable space that invites you to relax. You can make your living room stylish and comfortable by using color in your furniture.

Pick items that have a soothing color. Light blue or other beach tones will give you a comfortable environment without focusing on the walls. Use color to create a space that feels comfortable without extra work. The goal of using colors in your furniture, an area rug or a throw over your couch is to make your living room inviting and peaceful. It is an efficient way to enjoy a living room without wasting your time.

Decoration strategies are not difficult when you keep a few key ideas in mind. You want to pick out a single item to create a focal point in your living room and then use a combination of colors and storage solutions to make your room relaxing and comfortable.

Why Is My Dog So Itchy?

Kitterman Woods — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 19:07:29 +0000

Kitterman Woods Residents is your dog constantly licking and scratching? If so, you’re not alone. Many dogs lick and scratch as result of itching (also called pruritis). The itching may be minimal or extreme and can even cause injury.

Itching is a characteristic of many possible skin conditions and treating an itch effectively requires determining the underlying cause. This is not a road you want to go down alone. Finding the cause of an itch requires testing and help from your veterinarian.

What might make my dog itchy?

It is important to remember that itching is not a disease or a cause of disease, but rather the result of a disease process. Effectively treating itching requires treating its cause. If your dog is frequently itchy, you may first suspect a problem with fleas. It’s a common assumption, but fleas are far from the only cause of skin irritations and itches. That said, your dog should absolutely be on year-round flea and tick preventative.

The most common broad causes of itching are:

Some diseases only start to itch when a dog develops secondary bacterial or yeast infections. Whatever the cause, it’s understandable that intense itching is a serious source of distress for your dog.

With the SCLC, King led an unsuccessful 1962 struggle against segregation in Albany, Georgia, and helped organize the 1963 nonviolent protests in Birmingham, Alabama.

On October 14, 1964, King received the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality through nonviolent resistance. King was assassinated on April 4 in Memphis, Tennessee and, was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal.

Kitterman Woods — Mon, 07 Jan 2019 16:51:18 +0000

National Bobblehead Day is observed annually on January 7. This day recognizes a day of celebration for all spring-connected head bobbing figurines.

Bobbleheads have been around for over 100 years and are found in different shapes and sizes. However, none are more popular than those that depict athletes, professional sports teams, mascots, cartoon characters, and celebrities.

On November 18, 2014, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum was announced. The museum will open in 2016 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and will house the world’s largest collection of bobbleheads, a hall of fame section for the best bobbleheads, as well as many exhibits related to the history and making of bobbleheads, and much more.

January – National Keto Day

Kitterman Woods — Sat, 05 Jan 2019 22:15:44 +0000

National Keto Day hits January 5th with an approach to transforming our health. Recent research suggests the high-fat, low-carb ketogenic or ‘keto’ diet offers a number of benefits.

BENEFITS
Two of the most significant perks seen with the keto diet are weight loss and healthy blood sugar support. In fact, studies have shown improved glycemic control for those with type 2 diabetes while adhering to a ketogenic diet.

Other health benefits of a keto diet may include healthy cholesterol and blood pressure support. It may also be beneficial for those with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

KETO PLAN
How does the diet work? By eliminating carbohydrates, your body will use up its store of glycogen first. Then it will move into ketosis and begin burning fat.

Primarily, a keto diet consists of healthy fats, like eggs, avocado, olive oil, and sustainably-raised meat. Nuts, seeds, dairy, and low-carbohydrate vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, and green peppers are also easy to incorporate. Coconut oil, grass-fed butter, and ghee add fat and flavor to a keto diet. Occasionally, small servings of berries are added to the menu.

Eliminate these foods if you are considering a keto diet:

sweets, sugar, sodas, baked goods
grains, whole grains, and starches
fruits, starchy vegetables
hydrogenated oils, vegetable oil
diet foods, including low sugar, sugar-free, low-fat foods

If you’re considering the keto approach to a healthier lifestyle, or are already engaged in it, whip up your best keto meal or snack, and post a pic of it to Instagram using the hashtag #NationalKetoDay. For every post, The Vitamin Shoppe will donate $5 to Blessings in a Backpack, a non-profit organization that provides food on weekends to elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry.

You can also stop into your local The Vitamin Shoppe the weekend of the 5th to sample various keto products for free. Make sure to follow @vitaminshoppe on Instagram for more details!

January – National Blood Donor Month

Kitterman Woods — Fri, 04 Jan 2019 22:33:05 +0000

January is National Blood Donor Month. Winter is one of the most difficult times of year to collect enough blood products to meet patient needs. During the winter months, inclement weather often results in cancelled blood drives, and seasonal illnesses like the flu may cause some donors to become temporarily unable to donate.

When you donate blood or platelets you may be helping a cancer patient, or someone battling a life threatening illness or injury. Approximately 1 out of every 7 people entering the hospital needs blood, 1 donation has the potential to save as many as 3 lives and only, 3 teaspoons of blood can save a baby’s life.

Contact One Blood and find a donation site today!!!
