HOME

Outdoor Spaces Offer Style And Comfort If you enjoy relaxing and entertaining on your porch or patio, you are not alone.Today’s homeowners love being outdoors, and design professionals are being tasked with creating extravagant outdoor living areas with all the creature comforts that are typically found indoors.

Mark Tuck of the Southern Cypress Manufacturers Association, www.CypressInfo.org, says, "Cypress is a beautiful wood that looks exotic. More importantly, it is a durable wood that – when properly installed and maintained – provides long-lasting performance. It’s perfect for outdoor use!"Unlike other species that need to be pressure-treated with chemicals for outdoor use, cypress comes by its durability naturally. When growing, cypress trees produce cypressene in their heartwood. This preservative oil protects the wood from the elements, and it repels insects such as termites and carpenter bees that often feed on and nest in other species."Thanks to its natural characteristics," Tuck adds, "cypress has typically been used as siding or as an outdoor ceiling product. But more recently, design professionals are using it for a variety of other outdoor applications."Cypress for the Outdoor Floor"Outdoor rooms, peaceful spaces, and low-maintenance materials are the buzzwords I hear most from my clients," says Nancy Moore of The Porch Company in Nashville, Tennessee."I like to use cypress in spaces that are exposed to the elements. Incorporate cypress into your lavish outdoor space. See how at www.CypressInfo.org.

IN MOTION

Why Pam Anderson Says She Won’t Use Uber The former “Baywatch” beauty is out with a new public service announcement (PSA) called “The Driving Game!” that slams the ridehailing industry.

As an homage to the classic TV game show, “The Dating Game,” Anderson plays a passenger grilling three male contestants vying to drive her home, and — given the slew of Uber and Lyft drivers who’ve been accused of rape, murder, and other crimes across the country — you can understand why the two identified only as “Ride Hail App Drivers” come off as something akin to dates from hell.“Have you ever been drug tested?” Pam asks the sleaziest of three.“No, what kind of drug should I be testing?” he smirks. Ouch. The video is part of the “Ride Responsibly” campaign launched last year by the nonprofit National Limousine Association (NLA) —with whom the National Sexual Violence Resource Center teamed up for the PSA — that seeks to overcome the Ubers of the world’s resistance to subjecting their drivers to the same rigorous criminal background checks as those behind the wheels of taxis and limos. “That includes spending the extra money to fingerprint their drivers,” says NLA President Gary Buffo. As for the video, which continues to rack up views on YouTube, Anderson winds up choosing Driver No. 3 (a.k.a. “Not a Ride-Hail App Driver”), who assures her that he’s licensed and screened, and considers Pam’s safety “my top priority.” Having thus found her dream date — that is, dream driver — Pam closes with this parting message: “Be safe. Think before you app.”

Got Water? 4 Reasons to Drink More H2O We all know water is good for us and that we should probably drink more of it. So why, then, do Americans find it so difficult to sip from what is arguably the fountain of youth? We all know water is good for us and that we should probably drink more of it. So why, then, do Americans find it so difficult to sip from what is arguably the fountain of youth? Answers vary, but the fact is, one in 10 Americans drinks zero cups of water per day, according to a study by Dr. Alyson Goodman, a medical epidemiologist for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Zero. She suspects that those who don’t drink any water (or very little) are getting it from other sources such as food and coffee, but warns this may not be enough. However, not all waters are created equal. Enhanced waters, like Alkame Water, provide the body with more health benefits than regular water. Just take a look at how it can help: • It balances body fluids. Your body is composed of about 60 percent water and performs vital functions such as protecting your organs and tissues, essentially it keeps your body running like a well-oiled machine.

• It boosts the immune system. Those who guzzle water are at a lower risk of getting sick. This crystal-clear concoction helps fight against flu, cancer and other ailments— especially if your water has mild alkaline properties, such as those found in Water.

• It keeps skin looking healthy. Water moisturizes your skin and functions as a protective barrier to prevent excess fluid loss (think free anti-aging cream). In addition, it can keep your skin fresh and smooth.

• It can help control calories. While drinking water may not be a weight-loss strategy, per se, substituting it for higher-calorie or sugarfilled beverages can help by removing by products of fat.

For more information about Alkame Water and its health benefits, visit www.alkamewater.com..

Treating Sun Spots Just as Important as Wrinkle Care Women ages 30 and older are growing increasingly aware of new wrinkles with each passing year. Yet, evidence suggests that sun spots may have as much of an impact on agerelated appearance as wrinkles. Nearly 63 percent of women older than age 35 experience sun or age spots, discolorations and uneven skin. The dark side? The problem reflects your apparent age — or lack of youth.

Everything Newlyweds Should Know about Coupling Finances

As we head into wedding season, it’s especially relevant. Because as much as you may think no two people have ever been more in love than you are, the truth is that it could be less than smooth sailing ahead if you’re not on the same page when it comes to financial matters. Ready to break the cycle? Read on. • Set common goals. You have probably discussed this in a dreamy sort of way dating, while but turning those reveries into reality requires habitually saving to pay for them to finance your later retirement years. • Be transparent. There’s nothing that says you have to put all your cash into a joint savings account – but at the very least you’d be “less than truthful” by not divulging any outstanding debts – and then figuring out, together, how to pay them down. • Safely store your information. Quick: What’s your new spouse’s Social Security number? And what other vital information don’t you know if a sudden need arises? To truly mark your financial coupling, you might consider using an onlineservice such as FidSafe.com that lets you store, access and share all your new family’s important records and documents anywhere via a web browser or iOS app. Not only is it free and simple to use with handy checklists, but even before it was officially introduced two years ago by Fidelity, Barron’s magazine gave the service five stars for being what it called “the first cloud-based safe deposit box we’ve seen that’s secure enough to organize everything from financial statements, insurance policies, and real estate records to a will, IRA benefits, and even passwords.” Investigate this option. Do you both get health insurance through your employer? Congrats. You may have just saved yourselves some money because, if it works out it’s less expensive for one of you to be on the other’s plan rather than pay for both.
