how to maximize a

small living space S

mall-space living is a choice and necessity for many city dwellers, and it poses some unique design challenges.

Whether you’re looking to change your current layout or make technical tweaks, there are key tips to keep in mind for bettering and maximizing your space safely.

get creative with layout

If you’re living in a bachelor suite or looking to create multiple spaces within a room, consider shifting around your furniture to create divisions. You can do so with bigger pieces like your couch, bookshelf or table. As you envision the changes in your head, make sure you put it down on paper too. This helps to vi-

4Rent.ca

October 13–27, 2023

sualize and consider how you regularly use your space. Don’t forget about entryways and pathways that you often use.

brighten the area

Using the right light fixtures is another way to create division in your home vertically. Well-positioned lighting can make all the difference for enhancing a small living area.

Consider installing pendant lamps or pot lights to offer up more floor space and make a unique statement.

Always purchase lighting and other electrical décor at a reputable retailer to avoid counterfeit products. Check the label to find a certification mark that means they are safe and were manufactured properly.

get the right help

If you’re planning for electrical enhancements, make sure you hire a Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC) to do any electrical work for you. It’s the safest decision you can make.

LECs are the only individuals in Ontario legally allowed to do electrical work in your home. They will get the proper notification, know the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and will make sure all electrical regulations are followed. Ask for an Electrical Safety Authority certificate when the work is complete for your records, insurance purposes and peace of mind.

turn your Halloween into Hallowgreen with these simple tips that will help protect our environment, one trick (or treat) at a time.

carry reusable bags

While trick-or-treating with your kids, be sure to trade in your plastic

or paper bags for cloth and canvas versions. Reusable bags or old pillowcases are not only the ultimate candy carriers big enough to let mom and dad sneak in some candy for themselves, but are environmentally friendly alternatives that won’t wind up in the garbage after one use.

13

INFO YOU CAN USE

Give your home the spook you’re looking for without the environmental scare. To limit the amount of trash ending up in landfills, purchase items you can use year after year over single-use items.

reuse costumes

Halloween costumes generally end up in the trash and make their way into landfills. But there are alternatives to throwing your child’s costume away just because it doesn’t fit or it’s time for a new look. Halloween costumes are the number one handme-down because they never go out of style. Give them to a friend or family member, donate them to someone

in need or purchase one from a thrift store at a discounted rate.

decorate with reusable materials

Give your home the spook you’re looking for without the environmental scare. To limit the amount of trash ending up in landfills, purchase items you can use year after year over single-use items. When

reusing battery-operated Halloween gadgets and décor such as a fog machine or lawn props, replace and recycle any old or damaged batteries.

natural ways to

fight fall allergies A

s the days become shorter and the weather cools down, a new crop of allergy symptoms can arise, turning the autumn season into one marked by sneezing, scratchy throats and itchy eyes. Medications can alleviate such symptoms, but allergy sufferers may want to investigate some natural ways to beat allergies.

According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, ragweed is one of the more common triggers of autumnal allergies.

Ragweed contributes to “hay fever,” which is a term to describe allergic rhinitis that occurs as a symptom of ragweed pollen in the air. Ragweed releases pollen in mid-August, and it can continue to be problematic until a deep freeze arrives.

Other sources of fall allergies include leaf mould and pollen that is

4Rent.ca

October 13–27, 2023

17

present on fallen leaves. This gets circulated when people begin to rake or blow fallen leaves. Classroom pets and chalk dust in schools (although chalkboards are largely a thing of the past) are other autumn allergens.

The good news is that many natural remedies work just as effectively as over-the-counter medications in regards to combatting ragweed and pollen problems. Here’s how to beat the fall allergy blues.

increase omega-3 fatty acids

It is well documented that fatty acids are good for brain health and cardiovascular well-being. But these acids also may help with allergies.

A German study linked foods high in omega-3 fatty acids with the ability to fight inflammation, which is a hallmark of allergy suffering. Foods that are high in fatty acids include

walnuts, flax, eggs, and cold-water fatty fish.

rinse off pollen

Use a mild cleanser to rinse the eyelids and eyelashes of pollen, as this is where it tends to congregate after being outdoors. Use saline spray to clear nasal passages of excess pollen as well.

take natural supplements

A study published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Allergy found participants who used tablets of the herb butterbar showed significant allergy relief after only one week. Select herbs from reputable manufacturers who certify them.

use eucalyptus oil

This oil is great to have in the house to help clear up sinuses and provide nasal congestion relief. Mix a small

THE VIEW

amount with coconut oil and rub onto the chest. There also is some evidence that adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to cleansing products can help kill dust mites around the house.

stay away from pollen

Stay away from pollen and prevent it from being tracked indoors. Remove shoes when walking through the door. Take off clothes worn outside and launder them promptly, showering to wash pollen off of the body. Use an air conditioner or keep windows closed when the pollen count is high.

wear a mask

When doing housework or yard work, wear a mask to reduce the inhalation of specific allergens.

Avoid seasonal allergies by exploring natural ways to find prevention or relief of symptoms. ■ — Metro Creative

COOKING

mi c rowaves: the underdogs of cooking appliances F

ound in millions of kitchens, the microwave oven is the unsung hero of the cooking arsenal. When not used as a bread box, the underestimated appliance is mostly trusted for reheating leftovers or boiling a cup of water.

But it can accomplish much more – all while maintaining more nutritional value in foods than other cooking methods.

Because microwaves penetrate food quickly without the addition of much water, there’s less time for vitamins and minerals to break down. Research published in the Journal of Food Science showed that, compared to boiling, pressure cooking and baking, microwave cooking maintains the highest levels of antioxidants in various vegetables including beans, asparagus and spinach.

Microwaves are proving to be the heroes we all need when it comes to maximizing nutritional value and reducing cook time, and with maxedout parents and students juggling work and studies, it’s time to use them to their full power. Here are some tips to ensure success when cooking from scratch in your microwave:

cover it

Trap steam by covering the dish with wax paper or a plate while heating. In addition to distributing heat evenly, it will prevent your food from drying.

find the hot spot

Every microwave has areas where the food heats faster. To find your microwave’s hot spot, nuke a plate of marshmallows covered for 50

seconds. The areas that puff first are your hot spots.

add flavour

Like stovetop cooking, flavour is key to delicious food. Add lemon, herbs, spices or a few dashes of your favourite hot sauce before cooking for a meal that packs a punch.

less water = more vitamins

Use as little water as possible to maximize flavour and nutritional value.

never trust the timer

Different foods heat differently.

Plus, every microwave has different power. While you want to follow recipe instructions, stop your cooking time to stir midway through and rotate the food for even heat distribution. ■ — News Canada

tips for navigating your way

W

ith the beginning of flu season near, many of us are already practicing behaviours that will help prevent us from getting sick. If you’re washing your hands, avoiding touching your face and wearing a mask, you might start to wonder: why worry about the flu this year?

But the truth is that it is more important than ever to be proactive

4Rent.ca

October 13–27, 2023

about the flu this year to help keep emergency rooms free and our immune systems strong.

“As many of us learned at the beginning of allergy season, it’s very uncomfortable to be the one sneezing or coughing in public in this current climate,” adds Victor Wong, pharmacist at Shoppers Drug Mart.

The flu can come out of nowhere and hit hard, bringing with it high fever, coughing, muscle aches, head-

aches, chills and fatigue lasting anywhere between a few days and a few weeks. Fortunately, by following a few simple rules of illness etiquette we can easily stem the flu virus’ spread and avoid putting other families at risk.

stay home when feeling unwell

“While many of us may have sent our kids to school or daycare sick,

21

through

flu season

or even gone to work when we were feeling under the weather, that is no longer an option,” says Wong. “The flu spreads easily and can have especially serious repercussions in families with young or older family members, so be courteous and keep you and your germs at home.”

teach kids the basics

HEALTH

Using tissues for runny noses, coughing into sleeves and hand

washing are all things children can easily do to halt the spread of germs.

Because the flu is contracted through mucous membranes, reminding kids to keep their fingers away from their mouths, noses and eyes can also be helpful. “Make it fun and you’ll make it a routine,” suggests Wong. “Teaching vampire coughs or giving your kids a 20-second hand-washing song or countdown are great ways to subtly share good hygiene practices.”

get vaccinated

“Vaccination is part of a comprehensive flu prevention plan and one of the best things you can do protect your family and others,” advises Wong. “Spending just a few minutes getting your flu shot at your local pharmacy could save you and your kids weeks of misery. It might even save someone else’s life.” ■ — News Canada October 13–27, 2023

MOVERS

blizzards, black ice and moving!

BY CHUCK RESNICK MOVING EXPERT

M

oving when ice and snow are in the daily forecast isn’t a popular choice for many Canadians. It’s cold and slippery; but with some extra safety precautions, winter moving also has many advantages.

Moving last minute? No problem, if it’s during the cold months.

Choosing to move in the “off season” – sometime between November and March – can save you time and money.

Summer is the busiest season for moving companies. This means you must be well prepared, booking 6 to 8 weeks in advance to ensure your preferred moving company is available.

Not only are they higher in demand but generally their rates are also more expensive.

Some companies may be more willing to negotiate their rates during the winter months as they’re competing for business during the slow season. Likewise, less rush and stress for companies in the winter means you get their best employees resulting in a higher quality of service.

4Rent.ca

With everything booked, now comes the packing. Follow these tips for a relaxed and toasty move – no matter what’s going on outside those frosted windows.

• Have a contingency plan. Keep up to date with local weather forecasts and change your plans accordingly.

If a big snowfall or freezing rain is expected the morning of your move day, don’t risk it.

• Keep cozy. Carry extra warm clothes for you and your family – including hats, gloves and snow pants. Pack these ahead of time and clearly label them so you can locate them immediately.

• Remember your items will be in a non-heated environment for a while. Ensure your plants, electronics and liquids are properly packed and protected from the cold.

• Allow extra time on the move day – cold weather slows things down.

Additionally, rushing in the winter can lead to accidents and injuries.

• Have driveways and sidewalks cleared of snow before the movers arrive. Your driveway needs to be ploughed wider than usual – enough to allow the moving truck’s loading ramp to be positioned as close to your front door as possible. Lay plywood down

on muddy or slushy areas. Slipping can not only lead to dropped boxes and broken possessions but also personal injury.

• Quality movers will use floor runners to protect your floors in high traffic area but for extra protection inside, cover your floors to protect them from tracked-in snow, mud, and salt.

• Drive safe. Make sure maintenance and service on your vehicles are current. Check the air pressure in your tires and ensure the trunk is equipped with emergency kits (matches, flashlight, food), blankets, and shovels. Drive slowly with extra caution.

• Be certain that your heating company for your new home is aware of your move in day.

Wintertime moving doesn’t have to be wet and miserable. With these reminders, you’ll be packed up, moved and basking in the warmth of your new home before you know it. n

A

utumn is a season of many changes, with some of the most notable including the dramatic multi-coloured displays that occur just prior to trees shedding their leaves. It’s also a time of year when many people feel reenergized by cooler temperatures and spend many hours outdoors enjoying all that fall has to offer.

Whether one is collecting leaves, picking apples, exploring corn mazes, or driving the countryside enjoying the foliage, autumn is full of fun facts that can make the season that much more enjoyable.

1. Autumn begins on the autumnal equinox, which occurs on or near September 22 in the northern hemisphere. This year, September 22 is the day when the sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward.

When the equinox occurs, there are an equal number of daylight and nighttime hours.

2. Since ancient times, autumn has been an important time of year for many civilizations. Autumn is a main harvesting time in many areas, and a successful harvest was once necessary for survival. Many steps

3. Fall is a time when trees and other plants prepare for dormancy during winter. As autumn progresses and the hours of daylight gradually decrease, trees begin to close their food production systems and reduce the amount of chlorophyll in leaves. Chlorophyll is the chemical that makes tree leaves green, and as it declines, other chemicals become more prominent and shine through in the leaves. That is why leaves change colour.

4. Some scientists believe that global climate change can impact autumn colours, such as delaying the change in trees. Also, red pigments may start to decline as

trees use sugary fuel to grow new twigs rather than to cause red leaf displays.

5. North Americans more readily refer to this time of year as “fall,” while the British use “autumn.”

Both terms date back to around the 16th century. Prior to this period, autumn was known as “harvest.”

6. Squash, pumpkins and other gourds are prominent in the fall.

The largest squash grown on record belonged to Joel Jarvis of Ontario, and his huge winner weighed in at 1,486.6 pounds in 2011.

7. The many-coloured leaves are not the only display one might see during the fall. The autumn equinox signals the aurora borealis, also called the Northern Lights. Besides the lengthening of nights and cool evening weather, which are great for stargazers, autumn is “aurora season,” according to NASA. That’s because, during the fall, geomagnetic storms are about twice as frequent as the annual average.

8. Full moons are named for the month or season in which they rise.
