FRIENDLY REMINDERS - STAY HYDRATED

As the mercury rises outside so does the humidity and in Texas August can be the hottest month of the year marking an end to summer but the beginning of lower temperatures (at least we hope) and football season. Staying hydrated while engaging in outdoor activities is essential to your well-being and your health. It is recommended that men and women drink 11-15 glasses of water per day – WOW that’s a lot of water! Don’t worry; this includes water from all sources like water found in fruits and vegetables like tomatoes and watermelon which contain up to 90 percent or more water. Everyone should still aim to drink plenty of water each day for its nutritional value. Water makes up 60 percent of your body’s weight and every single system in your body depends on water. Water helps carry nutrients to your body’s cells and also helps flush toxins out of your body. So make sure to drink your water by letting thirst be your guide; here are some more tips to help: 1. Carry a reusable water bottle and re-fill it as you go 2. Not a fan of water? Give your water a little flavor especially if it will help you drink more 3. Sip slowly and often. You don’t have to down a full glass of water in one sitting, sip throughout the day 4. Try fruit or popsicles to up your water intake. Both of these contain a high water content and can help you on your quest to stay properly hydrated and healthy Have a safe, healthy, hydrated summer! Copyright © 2012 Peel, Inc.

Get posh with prints – choose bold prints for any piece of clothing or find a unique patterned accessory 7. Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize – Bangles, Brooches, Bags, Oh My!

6. Choose a chunky knit – Cozy and comforting, belt and pair with leggings for low key study date 5.

These boots are made for walking – Boots are back, pick a textured style or pop of color to mix it up 2. New styles for your noggin – It’s not a new concept but consider a beanie cap, flowered headband or glittery hair clip to add to your wardrobe 1.

Lakemont Living Sales Tax Holiday Aug. 17 - 19, 2012 In 2012, Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes on Aug. 17, 18 and 19 — the state's annual tax holiday. Layaway plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday. As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend. CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR

Retailers will not be required to collect state and local sales or use tax on most footwear and clothing that are sold for less than $100 during the holiday. The exemption applies to each eligible item that sells for less than $100, regardless of how many items are sold on the same invoice to a customer. For example, if a customer purchases two shirts for $80 each, then both items qualify for the exemption, even though the customer's total purchase price ($160) exceeds $99.99. The exemption does not apply to the first $99.99 of an otherwise eligible item that sells for more than $99.99. For example, if a customer purchases a pair of pants that costs $110, then sales tax is due on the entire $110. The exemption also does not apply to sales of special clothing or footwear that the manufacturer primarily designed for athletic activity or protective use and that is not normally worn except when used for the athletic activity or protective use for which the manufacturer designed the article. For example, golf cleats and football pads are primarily designed for athletic activity or protective use and are not normally worn except for those purposes; they do not qualify for the exemption. Tennis shoes, jogging suits and swimsuits, however, are commonly worn for purposes other than athletic activity and thus qualify for the exemption. Additionally, tax is due on sales of accessories, including jewelry, handbags, purses, briefcases, luggage, umbrellas, wallets, watches and similar items. The sales tax holiday exemption does not extend to rental of clothing or footwear; nor does it apply to alteration or cleaning services performed on clothes and shoes. These items continue to be subject to state and local sales or use tax. BACKPACKS

Backpacks under $100 and used by elementary and secondary students are exempt. A backpack is a pack with straps one wears on the back. The exemption during the sales tax holiday includes backpacks with wheels, provided they can also be worn on the back like a traditional backpack, and messenger bags. The exemption does not include items that are reasonably defined as luggage, briefcases, athletic/duffle/gym bags, computer bags, purses or framed backpacks. Ten or fewer backpacks can be purchased tax-free at one time without providing an exemption certificate to the seller.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Texas families also get a sales tax break on most school supplies priced at less than $100 purchased for use by a student in an elementary or secondary school. The following is an all-inclusive list of qualifying school supplies (if priced less than $100): •Binders •Book bags •Calculators •Cellophane tape •Blackboard chalk •Compasses •Composition books •Crayons •Erasers •Folders; expandable, pocket, plastic, and manila •Glue, paste and paste sticks •Highlighters •Index cards •Index card boxes •Legal pads •Lunch boxes •Markers (including dry erase markers) •Notebooks •Paper; loose leaf ruled notebook paper, copy paper, graph paper, tracing paper, manila paper, colored paper, poster board, and construction paper •Pencil boxes and other school supply boxes •Pencil sharpeners •Pencils •Pens •Protractors •Rulers •Scissors •Writing tablets No exemption certificate is required - with one exception. If the purchaser is buying the supplies under a business account, the retailer must obtain an exemption certificate from the purchaser certifying that the items are purchased for use by an elementary or secondary school student. “Under a business account” means the purchaser is using a business credit card or business check rather than a personal credit card or personal check; being billed under a business account maintained at the retailer; or is using a business membership at a retailer that is membership based.

Gratitude is the key Unlocking The Doors To Treasures In Our Children By Sugandha Jain

Gratitude is an instant mood converter. Gratefulness is the knife that melds impatience to patience, fear to love and anxiety to peace. Enveloped by the clouds of thankfulness, we can soar high in the air of optimism. Our aura is immediately cleansed when we fill our thoughts with praise. Relationships glow under the varnish of a positive expression in mutual affection. We only have to look around us to realize how blessed we are. Being mindful of the generosity of people, beauty in our surroundings and the uniqueness of our own spirits can help us appreciate our fortunate existence. Opening ourselves to receiving divine grace that is already a part of our lives makes us acknowledge our own sacredness. We appreciate our oneness with the universe and what we feel as a result, is gratitude on being a part of the whole. We feel love, we feel complete.

Modeling gratefulness with our families can help children open their hearts to the love and light in everything they do. Daily writing in their Gratitude Journal can gradually shift children's consciousness to a higher dimension. Constantly reminding children to see the lessons presented by events instead of sulking on challenges can be an exercise in life-long learning. When we encourage children to make choices, evaluate them and re-choose options that help them feel grateful, we show them how to be free. Together, we find that our interactions with each other have always been complete; the missing link in the puzzle in seeking out and seeding in the Om of smile- the symbol of thankfulness. Sugandha Jain is a Master Registered Texas Trainer and Director of Accreditation at a local preschool.

Back To School Checklist

Ensuring a Healthy Return to the Classroom Begins at Home * * * * *

Lakemont Living - August 2012

As a parent, there’s no doubt that back-to-school season requires a lot of effort to get your kids all set for the challenges of the classroom. But it’s also an important time to consider your child’s health, says Daniel Howard, M.D., a pediatrician with The Austin Diagnostic Clinic (ADC). “From making sure all of the proper vaccinations have been administered on schedule, to getting their kids back on ‘school year’ sleep schedules, health is obviously a huge consideration for parents with school-age children,” Dr. Howard says. • Vaccinations 101. Children should receive a variety of vaccinations and booster shots to prevent them from getting many serious and highly contagious diseases. • Hearing and vision tests. Consider getting your child’s hearing and vision tested before they begin school to prevent learning challenges in the classroom. • Health information. Parents should be prepared to provide schools with a list of emergency contact information that includes telephone numbers for parents, close family, pediatrician, and dentist. • Diet and sleep. Healthy eating is a critical part of a child’s physical and mental development and can help curb the risk of childhood obesity. Sleep is also essential—kids should get between eight to 11 hours per day, depending on their age. Daniel Howard, M.D., is a pediatrician for The Austin Diagnostic Clinic, a multi-specialty clinic with physicians representing 21medical specialties at more than six locations throughout Austin and Central Texas. Dr. Howard sees patients at the ADC Cedar Bend, at 2400 Cedar Bend Drive. For more information, visit www.adclinic.com or call 512-901-4016.
