How To Pick a Good Father’s Day Gift This Year

Picking a Father’s Day gift can be tough and most of the time we just end up giving the dads in our lives a new tie or gift card. However, here are a few ideas for picking a great gift this year.

 

Sophisticated Dad: if you have a classical or sophisticated dad, try going with a box of cigars or a whiskey cup.

 

DIY Dad: if you have a DIY dad who loves to do everything himself, try purchasing a beer making kit on Amazon. The gift is fun, unique and tasty.

 

Active Dad: if you have an active and techie dad who loves stats, try going with a Fitbit health monitor. The wrist monitors cost in the $100 range and monitor your steps, sleep, heart rate and a other things. The active and tech dad would love it.

 

Summer Décor Tips For Your Fullerton Apartment

Summer is here and while you are making plans to have a memorable next few months, do not forget to give your apartment a little love. Since your home is probably very organized and clean because of last month’s spring cleaning, now is the perfect time to fix up your décor. Here are a few summer decorating tips.

 

Color: summer is all about color, so add a few accident pieces that add a pop of bright blues, greens and yellows. Try replacing couch pillows, area rugs, or even bathroom and kitchen mats.

 

Flowers: use the power of nature to help spice up your décor. Use flowers, vases and plants to get an outdoor and airy vibe.

 

Paints: most apartments do not allow tenants to paint the walls, but no one can stop you from painting old furniture and giving it a new lease on life.

Simple Spring Cleaning Tips

It’s that time gain—no, not beach season. It’s time for spring cleaning; the most glorious time of the year for the “neat freaks” of the world. However, we do realize not everyone is thrilled with the prospect of deep cleaning their apartment. Here are three spring cleaning tips to try during your next deep clean.

 

Refrigerator cleaning: the easiest and most natural way to clean a refrigerator (do you really want to use chemicals where your food is stored?) is by using a combination of salt and soda water.

 

Drapes: if your drapes are looking dull throw them in the dryer on air-fluff with a wet towel for 15 minutes. They’ll instantly get clean and look livelier.

 

Garbage disposal: running lemon rinds through a smelly garbage disposal with some cold water immediately after will freshen up the area.
