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.

He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs.

King became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1957, serving as its first president. With the SCLC, King led an unsuccessful 1962 struggle against segregation in Albany, Georgia, and helped organize the 1963 nonviolent protests in Birmingham, Alabama.

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!

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.

Healthy Start in 2019

Kitterman Woods — Tue, 01 Jan 2019 23:11:43 +0000

Kitterman Woods wants all our residents to stay Happy and Healthy in the New Year!

New Years resolutions, we all make them. Starts out little like this… I’m going to eat healthier, lose weight , start working out, save money, reduce stress ect.

By the time March is here we tend to sweep those resolutions under the rug. We’ve all done it and there is NO reason we should feel guilty about not sticking with it.

Here are few simple tips.

One easy way not to feel guilty about that resolution, is by not calling it a resolution. Instead try looking at it as a change in lifestyle. Much like moving to a new home or taking a new job.

Trying to lose weight? Did you know walking 20 minutes a day can help you lose weight? It also is good for your heart and is also good to reduce stress. If you’re not disciplined enough do it on your own, you can hire a personal trainer. He or she is sure to keep you on track. They even have personal trainers that will come to your home with equipment to train you. For as little as $40 a session. Do not put pressure on yourself. If you don’t meet your goal, remember we are human… and your best is always good enough. So go ahead, give yourself a big pat on the back. You aimed to run a mile today but, only made it through a half of mile. Way to go!

Eating healthy, it is something we should all do; however when you worked all day, ran errands after work, then drive by that McDonalds on your way home… It would be so much easier to swing through the drive-through grab a Big Mac, and say dinner served! Well here is a quick and easy way to have a home cooked meal every night. Make your meals in advance. You can find simple healthy recipes online. Some only take 30 minutes to prepare. Then pop them into the freezer. Before you leave for work take the meal out and place in fridge. That way when you get home all you have to do is take it out of the refrigerator and warm it up. Now that is easy and healthy!

Now when it comes to money, there are several different things that you can do to keep more green in your pocket. Some easy changes like getting new car insurance, switching cable service or going with a new cell phone carrier. You would be surprised at the savings per month! Coupons, coupons, coupons… Your not a coupon clipper? You ought to be. Its so easy. With today’s technology you do not even have to buy the Sundays paper to get all the coupons. More and more stores provide electronic coupons. Simply by going to their website or sighing up at their web site. There are other sites like Groupon and Local dines, These site offer you merchandise and restaurant dining for a fraction of the cost.

I have given you a lot of tips today. Are you wondering why I haven’t talked about the reducing stress? Well that is because if you follow these simple tips, you are already on your way to reducing some stress factors in your life.

Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Holiday Pet Travel Tips

Kitterman Woods — Mon, 17 Dec 2018 14:08:22 +0000

You’re likely to do some traveling during the holidays, and if you have pets, then you probably want to bring them with you wherever you are going. Or you may just want to leave them with a family member or find a good place that you trust to board them. But if you will be traveling with your pets, make sure you use these tips to help you during this busy holiday season.

GET A GOOD PET CRATE OR CARRIER

If you are going to be traveling, you likely want to have a good pet crate or carrier to help you get your pet from place to place. If you are traveling by plane, this is going to be something that is required. Make sure you get a quality one that offers safety as well as security for your pet.

CHECK HOTEL OR AIRLINE POLICIES

Depending on where you are staying, you want to make sure that you are following all of the policies in place. If you are flying, check with the airline to make sure you do everything that’s required. If you are staying in a hotel, make sure pets are allowed, and inform the hotel management that you will be bringing your pet during your stay. If you will be staying with a friend or family members, you also want to make sure they know that you’re bringing your pet, and make sure to ask their permission ahead of time.

BRING FOOD AND WATER

During the trip, you want to have food and water for your pet. You also want to keep things as normal as possible, so you should bring the right pet food that your animal is used to for the trip. You do not want to run the risk of not being able to find their normal pet food at your destination, so take the extra step of bringing it. That way, you’ll have one less thing to worry about.

Pets make life a bit easier for us, so bringing them along for the holidays makes this time of year even better. If you are looking for a new place to call home for you and your pet, be sure to check out our beautiful 1 – 2 – 3 bedroom apartments.
