Have you recently moved into a new home or apartment? Or perhaps you’d like to spruce up your current abode after many months indoors? Between too small spaces, boring beige walls,  or shelves crowded with knick knacks, simple and inexpensive design hacks can breathe new life and excitement into a living space. Here are a few easy tips to make your home sweet home come to life: 1. Wall art Decorating walls is not about just throwing up a few smiling faces in bleak frames. Try a mix of large canvas pieces, fractals or even gallery boxes. An original art sale can unearth some hidden treasures that may look great on the walls. For the DIYer at heart quilling is a form of art that involves using folded and rolled up pieces of paper to create decorative designs. Stunning designs can be created with just a few rolled up pieces of paper. 2. Paint a statement wall Also called feature or accent walls, these can really make or break a space. It is not necessary to aim for the boldest or brightest of colors for an accent wall. Instead, and depending on the room or flooring colors, professional designers will often aim for something either tranquil or adventurous (i.e., think blues and greens).

Flowers are widely appreciated in almost every culture. Flowers are often gifted on special occasions, used to decorate for celebrations, or simply used as a gesture of thoughtfulness. Sometimes bouquets are sent as a way to communicate emotions, such as red roses for a wedding anniversary or white lilies and chrysanthemums as a sympathy arrangement. When we give flowers, we want the recipient to enjoy them for as long as possible. Read on for some helpful tips on ordering a bouquet that will stay fresh for days: 1. Choose long-lasting blooms Cut flowers have varying lifetimes, depending on the type of bloom. When picking flowers, ask the florist which varieties tend to last longest in an arrangement. Some of the blooms that tend to last include zinnias, carnations, lilies, chrysanthemums, and orchids. 2. Use a floral preservative Floral preservatives are always added to the water to prolong the lifespan of flowers. Some preservatives like biocide protect flowers from being infected by bacteria or fungi. Other preservatives such as sucrose act as nourishing carbohydrates for flowers. Adding these preservatives to the water of your arrangement can double the lifespan of flowers. 3.

Today, tastes may differ between chocolate bars, gummy candies, or hard candies, yet the following confectionaries definitely wear the “most popular” candy crown: 1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Named after Harry Burnett “H.B.” Reese, who created this candy in 1928 and 1929.
