HALLOWEEN
Easy Halloween Yard Decoration
Ideas
Your yard gives you the opportunity to
unleash all your creativity and really think big when it comes to
decorating for the favorite spooky holiday - Halloween. But that
does not mean you have slave around for hours making and putting
up the decorations. Here are some quick and easy ideas for
decorating your yard this Halloween:
1. Scarecrows set the mood. Purchase
or make a scarecrow and display it in your yard. Make him stand in
the center on in a corner or make him sit on a bench, on the steps
or on the fence.
2. Wreaths make the yard look very
pretty. Choose from grapevine wreaths or black and orange
Halloween wreaths to suit your tastes and decorate walls and front
door by hanging them.
3. Use pumpkins in every place for
an instant ‘Halloween’ touch. Place them on the steps, porch
railing and benches or grouped together in unexpected places. When
grouping together, mix all shapes, sizes and colors.
4. Gourds are another natural
decoration for yards for Halloween. String them to make garlands
for fences or place them in baskets.
5. Witches and brooms make for
great decorations. Make a purchased or made witch sit on the
branch of a tree or on a bench. You can also simply use the broom
near the tree or at the front steps and add a sign that ‘The Witch
is Up There’ or ‘The Witch is in’.
6. Garden stakes come in various
designs for Halloween. Choose ghosts, witches, pumpkins or
whatever else fits your theme and choice. They are great scene
setters and look especially pretty when placed between plants.
7. Nature’s own decorations can
provide fall colors to your d?cor. Use lots of potted annuals like
mums, begonias, dahlias etc. to decorate your yard. You can also
use things like fall foliage, dried flowers, seed heads, hay bales
etc.
8. Lastly, make a clear pathway for
the trick-or-treaters to come in to your front door. Add ropes
along the sides or use luminarias to keep them from trampling your
plants or flowerbeds.

GARDENING
Valuable Tips for Indoor Gardening
Plants are just as popular as furniture when one is deciding on
furniture and soft furnishings.
Aside from the aesthetic value plants provide your home with, there
are also health benefits - grade school science class tells us that
plants cleanse the air through utilizing the carbon dioxide and
producing more oxygen. Here is some important information on how to
care for your indoor plants to gain the optimum health and aesthetic
benefits.
Lighting
Most indoor plants need good lighting. You can provide this through
natural lighting in the room of your choice or there must be
electric lighting. Darker leaved plants usually don't need as much
light as others.
Here are the varieties of plants (usually those that only require
medium to low light) that are known to be suitable for indoor
gardening:
a. Philodendrons
b. Boston ferns
c. African violets
d. Cyclamens
e. Creeping Fig
Watering
A common mistake most people make in indoor gardening is they tend
to over-water the plants, which may lead to rotting roots. Make sure
to research the type of plant you have, because each kind of plant
varies on their watering needs.
Potting
Choose good quality and attractive container for your indoor plants.
Make sure that the pot is clean before placing your new plant into
it to prevent infection and to encourage healthy growth.
Humidity
In indoor gardening, humidity is a big issue. The amount of moisture
in the air has effect on the growth of the plants. During mornings,
you could spray the plants with water for their much-needed
moisture. Make sure the leaves don't get covered in dust.
Fertilization
Just like watering, fertilizing depends on the type of plant. If you
have managed to supply your indoor garden with the right amount of
light, water and humidity, fertilization may not need much
attention. A good indoor fertilizer can be bought from most home
depot or hardware stores. Orchids need the special fertilizer
available.

HOLIDAYS
Make Christmas Shopping Easy This Year
Whenever someone mentions the phrase “holiday shopping,” people
cringe and hope that perhaps Christmas will disappear for a
year. Ironically, it is a time of great stress, since many
people are now waiting until the last minute to do their
shopping. We all have experienced the holiday anxiety,
especially after dealing with the long lines, angry customers,
and ridiculous prices that are supposed to be sales. Luckily,
there are ways to prevent the holiday stress.
With the popularity of the internet, more and more people are
now staying inside their homes for holiday shopping. This is
great for people who dread the confrontation with psychotic
shoppers and constant confusion. Fortunately, the ability to
shop online is a wonderful alternative. Although some do worry
about security issues and credit card fraud, millions of people
each year buy their presents online without a problem. However,
it is crucial to make sure you are buying from a safe and secure
store. Nonetheless, it is a great option for someone who wants
to compare deals. Many sites will show you in detail which
business provides the better camera or toy. It is also much
easier to get a popular item that is flying off of the shelves.
Many people do not want to stand in lines for hours just to get
the new best thing. Therefore, they are flooding EBay, since
this online auction has many hard to find gifts. It is also easy
to get a popular gift for a cheaper price, since it is all
auction based.
If you do not feel comfortable shopping online, there are still
other tips if you feel the need to brave the real shopping
centers. The first thing to do is always keep a list of what you
need. Although it is almost impossible to know exactly what you
are getting, it is smart to keep a list full of price ranges and
idea alternatives. This will prevent overspending and may keep
you on the right track. After all, shopping gets very stressful
when there is so much to do and so little time.
Another great idea is to pace yourself. If you leave everything
until the night before, chances are you will have to be admitted
to a psychiatric ward. This will leave you extremely stressed
and you probably will have to settle for terrible gifts. Many
people are now Christmas shopping months ahead, especially in
the summer. This avoids any confusion in stores and perhaps will
help you save money in the end. If you are unaware about how
much something should cost, it is helpful to research everything
beforehand. Discount “sales” can sometimes be misleading, and
may cost you hundreds of extra dollars. For instance, if you are
looking for a new laptop, it is vital to get opinions and
research everything before you buy. This way you will not be
talked into buying a computer that should be $200 less.
Although shopping sounds stressful, it can actually be a great
experience. As long as you pace yourself, distress, and do
everything months before, it will never be painful. There are
also other opportunities like online shopping for those who just
can’t seem to get their act together. Fortunately, there is an
alternative for everyone.
