How to Rearrange Your Furniture for a Better Flow of Energy (Feng Shui)

Your home should capture and keep positive energy in your home. This should be a place you want to be, a place that lets you relax, recharge, and live your best life. It all starts with maintaining a balance in your environment.

Because so many of us are working from home more than ever that means balancing your home as a place to live and as a place to work. Starting with the front door, make sure that you position lights or plants on either side of your door to attract success (evergreen shrubs are a great choice).

Hallways are conduits for energy, so they can’t be disrupted. Make sure they are free of clutter (like coats hung in closets with nothing left on the floor). Place your sofa against a wall and use mirrors to feature your living spaces to accelerate positive energy.

Pets for Mental Health

The mental health benefits of living with a pet are well known. But why kind of pet and why? Well, different animals can provide different kinds of emotional support. Cats are fantastic mental health support animals. They are usually silent, and they can be kept indoors. A cat doesn’t need a lot of space, keep themselves clean, and generally don’t take a lot of work.

If you have a cat, make sure you set time aside every day to play with them and keep them stimulated. They are great companions and highly adaptable to change as your life will be changing as well. Rabbits are a great choice as well. A rabbit is quieter than a cat and use up even less living space. Bunny rabbits are a bit messier and take a little more care than cats do. Unlike a cat, rabbits usually need a cage, which must be kept clean. Rabbits are especially good at helping with anxiety as they tend to be calm and quiet.

Products for Relaxation

Relaxation is a must for a happier, healthier life. There are some great products that can help turn any apartment into a relaxing haven for you to recharge every day. Plants make any space happier, and they will help turn your apartment into a living, breathing space. Books are a great way to help you feel at home and unwind after a long day and research suggests that reading is truly therapeutic.

Crawling into bed should be a great way to unplug from your stress and using soft bedsheets is a great way to make that memorable for you. Choose sheets that feel the best and most comfortable for you. Candles in your home can also help you relax. Your sense of smell has a big impact on your stress level, and there are some fantastic stress-reducing aroma candles that can make a big difference.

Apartment Features or Amenities That Help Create a Zen Home

When you are looking for an apartment, there are features that will help you create a relaxing Zen home. First, of course, is size and layout. Does the apartment fit your needs and lifestyle? If yours is cramped or living becomes awkward, it’s hard to relax.

But what do you look for beyond that? Certainly, it’s important to keep your home clutter-free, so make sure your closet space and storage are up to the task. Finally, a patio or balcony can help you bring some outdoor living into your apartment.

Tips and Tricks to Stay Warm and Cozy in Your Lodges at Lake Salish Apartments

Winter can be difficult. However, with a little planning and preparation, you can make winter 2021 the best winter ever!  The weather can be tough, it can be hard to stay warm, and the features of your apartment can make a real difference. Here are some tips and tricks to stay warm and cozy in the Lodges at Lake Salish Apartment.

Winter Weather in Fairview

Winter 2021 is expected to be mostly mild for much of the United States. This winter you can expect highs at about 55 degrees Fahrenheit and lows at about 11 degrees Fahrenheit. Snow is typically not more than 3 inches on average although there may be about 43 inches of rain during the year. This year, it is likely to be wetter than in the past. 

Winter weather can be harsh on the body, inside and out. Make sure to stay hydrated as your skin and your body tend to be dryer in cold weather exacerbated by the use of a heater. Drinking plenty of water will help and if your skin gets dry, then use lotion regularly to help keep your skin hydrated, too. 

Great Ways to Stay Warm

When it does get cold, you can stay warm without having to turn up the heat. Your parents were right, so make sure to dress in layers. It’s easy to add a cute sweater or jacket over a long sleeve top and an under shirt. Wearing thick socks or slippers around the house will help keep you comfy. A great cup of soup will fill you up and warm you up. A hot cup of coffee or cocoa will also help you to keep warm. A lot of us suffer from dry air, so consider using a humidifier when you do feel the need to turn on the heater. 

Apartment Features for Comfort

Where you live can really have an impact on how you live. This winter your apartment can keep you safe, warm, and comfortable. Lodges at Lake Salish have some stand-out features like the fitness center to warm you up and keep you healthy or soak your muscles in the spa. If you prefer to stay in your apartment, then cuddle up with your pet by the fireplace. Check out Lodges at Lake Salish’s amenities page for more information. It’s the perfect place for you this winter.

We all know 2020 was a tough year and we are looking forward to a great 2021. This winter can be your best winter ever. You can make the most of it by preparing for the weather, planning to stay warm, and picking the right apartment. Make this your best winter ever!
