Spring is right around the corner. If you’re like me, your under the bed storage containers are probably fighting it out with the dust bunnies. If you’ve ever tried to figure out if you should keep something or throw something away, here’s a quick guide.

1. It’s sentimental. Sentimental things that you care about can be saved — in limited quantites. Everything can’t have sentimental attachment, so save what matters to you.  

This Sunday this biggest unofficial American holiday will be here, Super Bowl Sunday! Who are you rooting for? Even if your team did not make it that far this is one game all football fans and non-football fans tune into. Some watch for the commercials, others watch for the love of the game, and some people just watch because everybody else they know is watching it to. If you are planning a Super Bowl party this is one party will everyone will enjoy. Here is a checklist of everything you will need.

Food – Finger foods are perfect for football parties. No one is really concerned with eating healthy or eating a balanced meal they just want to eat and be merry. Feel free to add a vegetable platter.

Disposable Items – to keep your clean up to a minimal you want disposable plates, cups, and plasticware. You also, will need garbage bags.

Beverages – Your guests will definitely be thirsty from munching on all the salty and fried foods. You should have a variety of drinks for people to enjoy.

Hosting a Party? Here Are Some Tips

1. Do not plug multiple appliances into a single outlet.

2. If you are caught in an apartment fire touch your door to feel for heat. This will help you determine if you can exit your apartment by exiting through that door.

3.  Laying in a relaxed position while you are smoking can put you at risk for falling asleep with a lit cigarette. Make sure your cigarette is completely put out before you dispose of it. Trash fires can start easily from a burning cigarette.

4. Make sure all pots and pans cooking on the stove are faced inward so they cannot be knocked over.

5. Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from fabrics such as curtains or anything else that is highly flammable. Do not leave the space heater on while you are sleeping or away from your apartment.

Hello Abberly Crest! Are you a behind in starting your New Year’s Resolution? Procrastination is one of the biggest reasons people do not successfully reach their goals.

Reduce Water Usage – Do you let your shower run while  you are preparing to get in or how about the sink water while you are brushing your teeth. If you are not using the water than the easiest thing you can do is turn it off.

It is Time to Unplug – It is normal to leave electronics such as your TV plugged in all day, but your laptop or that toaster that you only use in the morning time. Save the earth and your money by unplugging your appliances and electronics.
