Fun Bathroom Vanity Designs For the New Fall Season
By Iftikhar Tirmizi

Do you want to transform from your outdated and boring bathroom into a fun and relaxing spa? Then why not consider some sassy designs for the fall season!

Turning a leaf #1: Changing Shades

Earth tones in your bathroom add a warm and soothing environment. Add some warm tones of wood and splashes of gold colors with the faucet and knobs. Both will accent the décor greatly.

Turning a leaf #2: Adding More Space

Sick of running down the hall after a shower to grab the shaving gel you forgot? Or maybe lugging the Lysol bottle and cleaning rags up the stairs when you want to clean the tub is a pain. If you’ve ever felt that life might be a bit easier if X item was in the bathroom, maybe adding some space to your bathroom is just what the doctor ordered.

Most bathroom vanities come with widths between 18 and 48 inches, and they expand in 6 inch increments. If you think more storage space would be a good addition to your bathroom, I would suggest looking at a new Double Bathroom Vanities with more width. Or, if your current vanity is a pedestal style, I would suggest looking at a cabinet style.

Turning a leaf #3: Changing the Vanity Surface

Changing the counter-top on your bathroom vanity is the fastest way to dramatically alter the appeal of your entire bathroom. Options abound and run the price range from mansion expensive to shanty cheap. Listed in order of general price point, some of your options are as follows:

o Stone (Granite, marble, etc.)

o Metals (Stainless steel)

o Wood

o Laminates

o Composites

o Ceramic tile

Your choice of vanity surface comes down to personal preference and budget, but I would suggest investing in as high-quality a material you can justify. Generally, they have longer life spans (with the exception of wood) and tend to look better.

There’s a vast variety of options to spice up your bathroom space, and the bathroom vanity sits at the heart of it all. Have fun by adding splashes of color and texture, and toy around what the idea of adding some more space. Both will make your life easier and your bathroom more appealing. Turn a new leaf because fall is here. Why not have fun in the process?

Pack Away the Summer and Fall Into the Next Season
By Vivian Banta

Although the truly hectic part of fall doesn’t really start until the end of October for most people, you don’t want to be tripping over summer over the next couple of months. So, take this time to store, put away or organize your summer items and clothing, souvenirs, photos, etc. It’s also a good time to shift some of your habits and those of your family from “vacation” mode to “normal” mode.

Summer Items and Clothing

Once the summer is over, is it really necessary to keep the beach towels, inflatable rafts, and water slides out? If you are one of those people who live where the weather and lifestyle accommodates these things year-round, then this section does not apply to you. For the rest of us, who have distinct seasons, we really need to clean up and pack away these things until next year. The same goes for summer clothing. Ask yourself before storing it if you intend to wear the clothes next year. Also, check to see if the children’s things will even fit them by the time next summer comes around. If not, why take up the storage space? Donate it or get rid of it now.

Souvenirs and Photos

People often come back from summer holidays with mementoes of their days away. Who wants to deal with undeveloped rolls of film, jars filled with beach sand and shells, and numerous brochures, ticket stubs and receipts from summer’s attractions in October? Don’t put it off.

Back to “Normal”

During the summer, many of us tend to get lazy on a variety of fronts. Chanting the mantra “I’m on VACATION!”, we eat less healthy, we stay up later and sleep in later, we put off chores, we dress more casually, we exercise less (except for kids who probably exercise more!), and we spend much more time on entertainment (DVD rentals, movies, video games, shopping, Internet, etc.) than we normally do.

While some of these things may translate into our everyday lives without any visible problem, many of these habits are not healthy ones to carry over into the fall. In fact, several of the ones I’ve mentioned have a horrible circular effect. We eat less healthy foods so we have less energy. So, we don’t exercise as much and we watch more TV. Because of the sugar and caffeine, we end up staying up later and have trouble getting up in the morning. We feel sluggish, slow and not up to par during the day, so we consume more caffeine and sugar and put off doing more of what needs to be done and so on.

It’s a dangerous cycle to get into. The next thing you know, your home is a total wreck and you have become a couch potato with little to no desire to do anything and experiencing little joy in the process. It’s perfectly OK to “take a vacation”. The key is not to take it to excess.

Prepare to “fall” into the next season

Even as you are packing away the summer, it’s a great time to start prepping what you’ll need for fall. You don’t want to get caught off guard by the first bad storm of the season or the first really cool day. Start making arrangements now to turn off the air conditioning and turn on the furnace or heater. Make sure that your car is ready for autumn. Things like windshield wipers may have dried out with the summer heat and may crumble during the first downpour leaving you struggling to see out of your front windshield. Begin unpacking, airing out and cleaning your fall clothing items and linens, checking at the same time to see if any are obsolete or unusable. Just doing some of these things ahead of time can save you a lot of scrambling later, allowing you the time instead to fully enjoy the season.

Fall Wedding Decoration: A Quick Look at the Colors & Decors to Use

When you think of the fall season, the first thing that usually comes to mind are the lovely colors of the falling leaves. Rich yellows, oranges, gold, copper, peach and brown are the hues which mimic the natural colors of the season.

Since they’re all warm, rich and inviting - why not use all of these colors for your wedding? What you can do is select one accent color that will serve as your main color scheme, but all the other hues will blend to create a warm and cozy atmosphere during your wedding ceremony and reception.

For a unique touch, you can take your pick from metallic and jewel tones as the accent color, or turn it into your main wedding color scheme.

Now, aside from thinking about the colors that you will use, make sure to also incorporate the season’s blooms, fruits and other natural elements to make for a truly unique fall wedding decoration.

The flowers that you can use include roses, gardenias, mums, dahlias and zinnias. A cluster or grapevines and pumpkins are the ‘in’ fruits to use for fall wedding decorations. Finally, don’t forget the colorful fall leaves, maple leaves and the rich brown natural pine cones and cornstalks.

All of these elements can be combined when decorating the wedding ceremony entrance, aisles, pews, altar - and the wedding reception tables, entrance and walkways.

Fall Wedding Decoration Tips & Ideas

Here are a few key fall wedding decoration that you should keep in mind when decorating:

1. If you’re at a loss where to start with your fall wedding decoration scheme, start with the wedding dress that you have chosen. Does the gown have a vintage or classic feel to it? Or did you choose a minimalist gown which hardly has any embellishments?

Depending on the gown that you will wear, you can create your fall wedding decoration in such a way that the décor will home in on the style of your dress.

2. Fall is the time for harvest, and if you are holding an outdoor wedding ceremony and reception, everything should look bountiful!

Pumpkins, clusters of grapevines, pomegranate, every imaginable type of berries that you can get, oranges, apples and pears - all of these lovely fruits can be used as an inspiration for your fall wedding decoration theme.

You can either use the real thing to create a ‘bountiful harvest’ theme. Or, you can use flower-shaped floating candles and use them on your table centerpieces. You can even create a magnificent wreath which combines all of the fall elements together and hang it by the table or gazebo where the bride and groom will sit down to entertain their guests.

With all these fall wedding decoration tips and ideas, you will surely have an unforgettable wedding ceremony and reception that will not just look great on your wedding album, but give you fond memories to remember for the rest of your life as well.

Spring and Fall Turkey Hunting Seasons - Perfect Time For Hunting Turkeys
By Irsan Kao

Turkey hunting will give you mental satisfaction and pleasure. During the vacation, you can utilize the leisure hours by hunting turkey birds. With the advent of the spring and fall season, turkey hunting becomes much more popular and famous. However you need to know that there is the difference between the spring and fall turkey hunting permit. In the case of spring turkey hunting, you must choose the particular place for shooting the turkey birds. You can do continuing your turkey hunting program on any one day out of compact five-day turkey hunting session.

On the other hand if you like to do the hunting in the fall season, you can fulfill your dream any day during the season and you will get the permit. After collecting the turkey hunting permit, you must take the preparatory measures for making the fantastic package for hunting the turkey birds. You must train yourself how to control your temperament. Be cool minded and specific in targeting object. It is up to you to be a good decision maker. You can concentrate fully to shoot the turkeys nicely for entrapping them into your cobweb.

In fact, the spring turkey hunting is much more convenient and easier. There are different types of calling sounds to address the birds. You can produce a friction sound by rubbing stones or hard objects for drawing the attention of the turkeys. Secondly you can use your own sweet voice. Just whistle by drawing the air into your mouth and start whistling, it will be a matter of great attraction for the turkey and they will master strong at your feet. Turkeys can produce different whistling tones which are very effective. They can yelp, cluck or purr.

You should be familiar with different types of sound. Turkey hunt is my favorite game and I like to participate in the different hunting trip for catching the turkeys. Choose the perfect calling place which is better for watching the birds. When you place the decoy or treat, you must not frequently move the treat from one place to another. It will be better for you to be in disguise. If you wear orange cap or the same colored gloves, you will overtake their vision and they will not recognize you clearly. Try to locate your gun at the perfect angle for shooting the birds. After getting full confidence, you can start shooting at the targeted bird. Do a lot of practices and you will be gainer in shooting the right turkey.

By Noel Jameson

Fall really is a romantic time of year and it’s a great time to sit back and enjoy a few love quotes. The leaves are changing, the weather is getting cooler… Grab a cup of hot apple cider, curl up next to the fire and enjoy these 14 love quotes with that special someone in your life.

1. “The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.” ~ W. Somerset Maugham

2. “A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults.” ~ Charles Kingsley

3. “Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.” ~ Joseph Conrad

4. “Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor… Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.” ~ Mother Theresa

5. “What greater thing is there for two human souls that to feel that they are joined… to strengthen each other… to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.” ~ George Eliot

6. “If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don’t have it, no matter what else there is, it’s not enough.” ~ Ann Landers

7. “Free love? As if love is anything but free! Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him by. And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with life and color. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king. Yes, love is free; it can dwell in no other atmosphere.” ~ Emma Goldman

11. “To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever.” ~ Henry Drummond

12. “The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love.” ~ Margaret Atwood

13. “Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.” ~ Saint Thomas Aquinas

14. “Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.” ~ Leo Buscaglia
