Five sure-fire steps for planning the most memorable family vacation of your life
It’s no secret that families are busy these days. Between mom and dad’s careers, the kids’ school demands and extra-curricular activities, quality time together as a family is hard to come by. This busy lifestyle is inspiring a new travel movement, and 2015 is positioned for the grand rebirth of the family vacation. If you want to take an unforgettable family vacation this year, the idea of planning might seem overwhelming. But travel experts agree that planning ahead and researching your options
are important steps to ensure your trip is stress-free and full of fun. Follow these five steps to plan a trip your entire family will love and remember for years to come: Step 1: Make a travel wish list Kick off your travel planning by talking to all family members about what they’d like to see and do on vacation. Keep it light-hearted and have some fun - chat with your 4-year-old over breakfast or text your teen after school. As you have these conversations, notice commonalities, such as location and experiences. Step 2: Research, research, research After your initial conversations with your family, it’s time to do your research. The Internet has made selecting a travel destination that much easier - or harder because there are so many options. Check out tourism organizations, such as a Chamber of Commerce or Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (CVB). Look up online hotel and travel reviews these sites can provide invaluable information for travelers. Many sites even have free online travel planners
or visitor’s guides. Step 3: Choose a destination for everyone Perhaps the most important consideration when planning a family vacation is to select a destination that has something for every person in your group. Myrtle Beach, S.C. is a great example of a location that is great for all ages. The 60 miles of pristine beaches are just one reason to visit - foodies can indulge on the best Southern and low-country cuisine; cultural enthusiasts can experience beautiful art museums and plantations; golfers tee off at a one of the many championship courses in the area. From water parks to natural wonders, Myrtle Beach is a true gem for family vacations. Visit www.visitmyrtlebeach.com to learn more. Step 4: Select your ideal accommodations Whether you’re vacationing for a long weekend or multiple weeks, it’s important to choose the right accommodations for your family. For example, if you know you’ll be at the beach daily, stay at a shore-
side resort. If you want to save on eating expenses, look into condos with kitchens. For big groups such as family reunions, consider a beach house that allows everyone to stay in their own room within one shared space. Step 5: Create a fun-filled itinerary This is a vacation, and while you shouldn’t plan out every hour of every day, having a basic itinerary gives direction to your trip and will help your group build excitement prior to your departure. Plus, planning ahead allows you to seek out deep discounts on tickets to shows and theme parks like the Alabama Theatre or Wild Water & Wheels in Myrtle Beach. You can even explore free activities like festivals and celebrations in the area that would be worthwhile to attend. If you feel like it’s time for your family to take a break from the stress of everyday life, a family vacation might be just what everyone needs. Follow these steps to select a family friendly destination such as Myrtle Beach to ensure a vacation full of unforgettable memories.
3 expert tips for starting a successful vegetable garden Warm weather begs green thumbs across the country to break out their gardening gloves and till the soil for the season’s plantings. Whether this is your first year tending a home garden or it’s something you’ve been doing for decades, gardening offers many rewards, including time spent outdoors, the ability to feel closer to Mother Nature, and of course, the fresh fare plucked just steps from your kitchen. Anyone can have a successful home garden no matter where they live by following a few steps from professional gardeners. Consider these three important tips for starting your garden right so you can enjoy fresh produce faster, thanks to the experts at Outdoor Essentials makers of garden beds, compost bins and other gardening necessities. Step 1: Research appropriate early plantings Springtime is ideal garden time thanks to milder weather, and a good place to start is by researching proper plants for your region’s early season. If you have questions, consult your local nursery or call your local extension office for specialized advice. In general, good early plantings include brassicas, a family of plants that includes kale, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbages. Additional cool-season Page 4
crops to consider include radishes, beets, peas, potatoes and carrots. These plants will thrive early in the season and produce yields quickly. In addition to quick-producing plants, the early season is the best time to plant other varieties that take a long time to mature. Onions, for example, require a lengthy growing season and should be planted early so that in late summer, gardeners can enjoy the maximum yield possible. Want produce quicker? Consider purchasing starter plants, also called plant starts, rather than relying on packets of seeds. These are the small plants that have already germinated and have a basic root system. These are easy to transfer to your own garden and, with proper tending, will grow quickly and produce fruit faster. Step 2: Prepare garden spaces for accelerated growth After months of not being used, your garden’s soil is likely compact and will require some tilling to loosen the dirt and encourage plant growth. You can do this with a garden rake; for large gardens, some people prefer to rent a power tiller. People who live in smaller homes, a townhouse or condo might prefer to use raised garden beds. Stylish and functional, raised garden planters from Outdoor Essentials eliminate the need to bend over to tend garden, a benefit that has made them vastly
The Ladera Ranch News
popular. Raised garden beds can be used virtually anywhere outdoors, including on a deck or patio, and they can be moved, too, if necessary. Whether you create a garden plot in your yard or add a few raisedgarden planters to your patio, make sure the dirt is nutrient-rich and ready for your plants. Typically it’s wise to mix black dirt in with your soil to ensure that plants grow strong. If you’ve had trouble growing in the past, consider getting your soil tested to verify pH levels. Step 3: Tend daily and enjoy the fruits of your labor For best results, tend your garden on a daily basis. Check for soil moisture and water as necessary. Make sure to pluck weeds and watch for pest infestations. If done daily, it should only take a few minutes to verify the health of your garden, plus it’s fun to watch plants grow and flower. As fruit and vegetables mature,
it’s time to enjoy the season’s first harvest. The healthy fresh fare tastes even better knowing you grew it yourself, plus it cuts down on grocery bills. If you find you have too much of one type of produce at once, share with neighbors, coworkers and friends - everyone loves fresh garden delights. Keep in mind that as plants grow, you need to make sure they don’t overcrowd each other. This can limit growth and yield production. If your garden starts to look overgrown, you may need to pluck out a few plants to open up space and encourage proper growth and healthy root systems. Spring to it! The mild, moist weather and longer days of the early gardening season make the conditions ideal for plant growth. With a few simple steps and a watchful eye, you’ll be enjoying fresh produce at almost every meal.

Survey: Teens not as cyber savvy as parents m ight think While some parents may not know a gigabyte from Google, they still need to help their kids stay safe and protect personal information online. A new survey by LifeLock finds that some of today’s young people don’t understand the dangers of their techheavy lifestyles. While 89 percent of the 700 teenagers polled said they don’t give out too much personal information online (although 46 percent said their friends do), many admitted to engaging in online behaviors that could put their personal information at risk. Three-fourths of kids 13 to 17 included some type of personal information (partial or complete birth date, address, phone number, school, etc.) on their social media profiles. “Clearly, there’s a disconnect between what teens - and their parents - think they know about online safety and what they’re actually doing,” says Hilary Schneider, LifeLock’s president. “While teens may be experts at using technology and social media to stay connected, we as parents must help them understand the steps necessary to protect their online privacy or how their online actions today could affect their lives in the future.” Despite near-daily stories of social media misbehavior damaging the careers of politicians, athletes and entertainers, nearly half of surveyed teens don’t expect their online activities to hurt them later in life. Many were unaware of how to tell whether a site is secure before entering personal information.
“Children are favorite targets for identity thieves because they have clean credit histories,” says Schneider, who herself is a mother of teenagers. “Fraud may go undetected for years until the child applies for credit as a young adult. With the risks so high, teens and parents have to take steps to protect their privacy, security and identities online.” Some tips: * Limit the personal information you share in your social media profile. Listing your full name, full address or even your birth date could potentially open the door to identity thieves. * Do not accept “friend” requests from anyone you have not already met in person, even if he or she claims to be a friend of a friend. * Use strong passwords for each social media account and for all your mobile devices. Strong passwords include capital and lowercase letters, numerals and special symbols. Consider using a pass-phrase like
“LincolnClassOf2013IsTheBestEver!” or the first letter of each word: “LCo2013itBE!” * Do your best to verify the security and authenticity of a website before you interact with it, buy something from it or give any information about yourself. Look for the URL to begin with “https” or for the lock symbol on the page that indicates a secure site at checkout. * Remember that anything you post online is forever. It’s almost impossible to completely eliminate information from the Internet. Inappropriate material posted online now may affect your future relationships, ability to get into the college of your choice - even your future job prospects. “Today’s teens use technology in virtually every aspect of their lives,” Schneider said. “But they can still use some help from parents to ensure they safely navigate the digital world.”

Healthy, radiant skin starts below the surface
Skin care is important for men and women of all ages. Not only does healthy skin help you look younger, but properly maintaining your skin also gives you a healthier overall appearance so you feel more confident. Everyone wants to look good, whether it’s for a special event or just everyday living. People often talk about the need to eat right and exercise to improve overall health and beauty, but the focus on skin is often more about superficial appearance Page 6
and not enough about the health of the skin. When skin is healthy at the most basic, cellular level, it gives you a beautiful glow. Many people don’t understand that healthy skin starts way below the surface; it starts with your cells. Unfortunately, aging slows down your skin cell renewal process, which can cause wrinkles, dark spots, dryness and loss of elasticity. It’s important to rejuvenate skin cells so they operate at their optimal level.
The Ladera Ranch News
As you improve the health and appearance of your skin, there’s a good chance you’ll take notice of the rest of your body. For example, you might dress differently to show off your beautiful, healthylooking skin. You might want to start a new exercise program to tone your muscles underneath your skin to complete the new look. A part of optimal health includes good skin health, and that’s something you need to think about year-round, not just on special occasions or the holidays.

The new time to have fun and bond with your family: breakfast Families are always looking for new ways to celebrate and spend time together. Why not start your weekend off on the right foot with a little family time in the kitchen over a delicious hot breakfast? Cooking in the kitchen is a great activity for families, including children of all ages. Consider the following ways you can get your children up and out of their nests each morning for fun family time together over a delicious breakfast: * Little children - The youngest members of the family are excellent ingredient mixers and are really good at decorating the table. Give them a craft project to create a table placemat for each plate, or teach them how to fold the napkins in a pretty way. * Older children - If you have kids in elementary school, ask them to put their math skills to use in measuring ingredients for the meal. They can also pour the milk or juice drinks and put the finished breakfast meal on a plate in a decorative way for serving at the table. * Teenagers - Ask your teenagers to be responsible for cooking the food. Anything dealing with the stove or oven is their responsibility, and they should also keep an eye out for
younger siblings getting too close. * Parents - You are the overseers of the entire kitchen project. You get to determine the final menu, and make certain that all the breakfast foods will be prepared for serving at the same time so everyone can sit down and enjoy the meal together. Once the food is ready and plated, have everyone sit down at the table together to enjoy the creation. Soon it will become a tradition that you celebrate your weekend breakfasts together as a family, creating fun memories for everyone. As you begin your family breakfasts together, try the following fun recipe your kids will love. Hungry Jack Hashbrowns are used to create nests, with some eggs and cheese in the middle for a creative springthemed breakfast dish. Hungry Jack Hashbrowns are ready to use, fully seasoned and cook perfectly crispy every time. They are made of 100 percent Idaho potatoes and do not require refrigeration. This recipe also can be used for a brunch if you are having company over. Hashbrown Nests with Eggs Ingredients: 1 carton (4.2 ounces) Hungry Jack Original Hashbrown Potatoes 3 tablespoons cooking oil
6 slices American cheese, each slice cut into four quarters 6 large eggs 2 tablespoons bacon bits 1 tablespoon butter Cooking spray Salt Directions: Heat oven to 425 F. Spray a 12cup muffin pan with no-stick cooking spray. Fill hashbrowns carton to fill line with hot water. Let stand 12 minutes. Drain very well. Transfer potatoes to a mixing bowl and mix in the oil. Scoop potatoes into each muffin cup, forming a nest. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl. Heat a
large non-stick skillet. Melt the butter in the pan, and gently cook eggs over low heat, stirring constantly and breaking up any large curds. Cook eggs for 5 minutes, or until creamy and soft enough to easily scoop with a spoon. Season to taste with salt. Place two small cheese squares in the potato-lined muffin cup and top with about a tablespoon of the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle each muffin cup with bacon bits. Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Gently run a butter knife around the edge of each muffin cup, to loosen. Allow nests to cool for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and serve.
Power shoes : Choosing the r ight footwear for climbing the corporate ladder Climbing the corporate ladder shoes at the office means wearing
requires marketable skills, initiative, creativity and ... the right shoes? While the importance of proper footwear may seem obvious for professions that require standing or walking all day, such as waitressing, nursing or cooking, poor shoe choices can also trip you up in an office setting. “At best, sore feet can be a troublesome distraction when you need to concentrate in a meeting or be at your best during a job interview,” says Dr. Matthew Garoufalis, a podiatrist and president of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). “At worst, severe foot injuries from poor footwear can require corrective surgery that puts you out of commission - and out of the office - for extended periods of time.” While you may assume that some professions are more prone to injury than others, or that women wearing high heels are more at risk, everyone working nine to five should take steps to ensure they head to work every morning wearing shoes that will help - not hinder - how well they do their jobs. The APMA offers some advice for choosing work shoes: Shoes for women For many women, wearing dress
high heels five days a week. When you’re choosing a dress shoe for work, whether it’s a high heel or flat, keep these tips in mind: * Avoid wearing heels higher than two inches. If you choose to wear very high heels for a meeting or other work occasion, limit the time you’re in them and change into a lower, more comfortable pair as soon as possible. * Vary heel height day-to-day. Look for “walking” pumps - also called “comfort” or “performance” pumps with mid- to lower-heels. The APMA offers a list of shoes that have earned its Seal of Acceptance for promoting good foot health. * Look for plenty of toe room. Ideally, pumps with wider, rounded or square toe boxes give your toes more room. Avoid shoes with pointy toes that squeeze digits into unnatural positions. Cramped toes can cause a host of foot woes, from bunions to ingrown toenails. * Choose wider heels that offer more stability. Stiletto heels and similar pointy heels are less stable and may cause spinal misalignment and ankle injuries. * Beware ballet flats. You may think no-heel shoes are better for your feet, but often that’s not the case.
Ballet flats offer little cushioning or support, and can also cause foot problems such as plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the tendon that connects the heel bone to the toes. * Regardless of heel height or shoe style, look for shoes that offer adequate arch and ankle support, and plenty of cushioning. Shoes for men * Look for good quality oxford styles - like wing-tip or cap-toe designs which tend to be best. You can also opt for slip-ons, dressy loafers and low dress boots. * Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes every day. You should have at least three or four pairs of good quality professional shoes. * When shoes become too worn to be supportive anymore, replace them.
You may be tempted to hold on to that old pair of shoes you love, but apart from looking unprofessional, worn out shoes also provide less support for your feet. Both men and women should keep a few common tips in mind when shoe shopping: * Always shop at the end of the day when feet are at their largest. * Choose quality materials that allow the foot to breathe. * Look for shoes that offer good support. * Never buy a pair of shoes that are uncomfortable, assuming you’ll “break them in.” Shoes should be comfortable right away. If they’re not, then they’re not the right shoes for your feet!

Cheech Marin Hosts Orange County Family justice Center “Runway of Strength Gala” Photos by Elise Souza The Orange County Family Justice Center (OCFJC) Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides direct victim assistance, empowerment and prevention resources to victims and families whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence had their largest fundraiser with Actor and Comedian Cheech Marin as host. Marin, known for The Lion King (1994), Nash Bridges (1996) and Cars (2006) was Master of Ceremonies for inaugural “Runway of Strength Gala” at the home of long-time OCFJC supporters Patrick and Jolynn Mahoney in Anaheim Hills at their Lost World Estate. This VIP event raised $250,000, featured a silent auction, live auction, passed appetizers, food stations and cocktails among the 480 guests who attended the event. Culminating in a high fashion modeling show featuring Betinnis Fashions, models made up of survivors of family violence, celebrities, and dignitaries strutted down the “Runway of Strength”. Guests were privy to a feast designed by Debbie Juliani from Aramark Sports and Entertainment as well as a tour of the Lost World Estates. Wth its sprawling gardens covering nearly 2 acres of tropical plants, rare palms, water features and a variety of seating areas, guests enjoyed the sights and dense vegetation that surrounded the 11,000 square foot home. The fashion show was hosted by Cheech Marin with Chadia Alameddin, owner of Betinnis in Brea. Marin’s funny personality shined as he introduced the “models” as they came out dancing, strutting and seriously having a good time showing off the latest in fashions by Betinnis. From casual wear to formal gowns, it was a true party atmosphere on the runway! The crowd went wild clapping and dancing along with the creative moves from the models. Honored for the John Welter Community Partner Award were Dr. Cynthia Coad and her husband Dr. Thomas Coad. Cynthia served on the OCFJC board of trustees from the inception; she and her husband Thomas have been contributors to its programs and its growth for the past 9 years. Also honored for the OCFJC Corporate Partner of the Year were CW Industries, Inc. with proprietors Roseli and Craig Wildvank. Since the OCFJC was founded, the Wildvank’s and their business CW Industries, Inc., have been very generous with their annual support – it has enabled the center to expand its programs and serve more victims of violence each year. The live auction gave folks some spectacular items that are not normally available for purchase such as The Lost World Wine Cellar Dinner for 10 – the winning bid came in at $4,000.00 where ten folks can enjoy a five course gourmet meal by Aramark Chefs paired with champagnes and fine wines from Pat and Jolynn Mahoney’s family wine cellar along with a tour of the lush grounds which includes their whimsical and surrealistic art collection. There was also the Bordeaux France/St. Emilion Experience – that lucky winner paid $5,200 for a 5 day 4 night trip at the Chateau Des Amis, which is a 4 bedroom Luxury Villa owned by the proprietor of Rarecat Wines. It’s a luxurious and charming chateau in the heart of St. Emilion where this lucky couple will receive a private guided winery tour and tastings at top Grand Cru Chateau’s in Bordeux’s wine country. There was more including a deep sea fishing trip, a custom jewelry piece, and a men’s Corum watch. The after party with live music by local Blues band Detour 91 had everyone on their feet dancing the evening away. The After Party food was just as amazing – guests enjoyed Cali Street Dogs, Shrimp Corn Dogs, Petite Cuban Sandwiches, Bags of Bacon Carmel Pop Corn, Dave’s Hand Crafted Pizza and a Hand Crafted Dessert Display that had a variety of sweets to choose from. All proceeds from the “Runway of Strength” Gala will fund essential programs provided by the OCFJC. Founded by retired Anaheim Police Chief John Welter in 2006 serves all of Orange County providing direct victim assistance, empowerment and prevention resources to victims and families whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault and elder abuse. The OCFJC transforms victims into survivors breaking the cycle of violence. The OCFJC serves 5000 victims of family violence annually.

From floor to fixtures: Top spring home decor trends add style and personality Spring is in the air and summer is right around the corner, which means it’s time to refresh your indoor spaces to reflect the energy and optimism of the season. The top home decor trends of spring 2015 take a fresh approach to traditional design elements to create an aesthetic that is fresh and full of life. Best yet, the trends are easily accessible, so anyone can update their space with a few simple tips. Carpet More homeowners are seeking the beauty, comfort and safety that carpet provides, making it a top flooring trend for spring 2015 and beyond. What types of carpet are popular? “New soft fibers,” says Vickie Gilstrap, director of design services for The Dixie Group, a top U.S. carpet manufacturer. “Consumers went away from wall-to-wall carpet, as hard surface flooring gained in popularity. Then, people began to miss the softness and warmth
of carpet. Carpet absorbs sound, making homes quieter, and traps dust at the base of the carpet fibers so that dust doesn’t circulate in the room air.- The soft fibers give us a reason to put carpet down again.” She is also seeing increased interest in “mixed-media” carpet styles - with hi-lustre and low-lustre yarns used in the same carpet. Additionally, patterns are being featured on top of texture, giving a multi-dimensional appearance to flooring. Not only stylish, carpet is healthy, too. People with allergies or other sensitivities can choose carpet as a way to improve indoor air quality. A recent study supports previous findings that carpet, when effectively cleaned, traps allergens and other particles, resulting in less dust, dander and airborne contaminants escaping into the air. For more information, visit the Carpet and Rug Institute at www.carpet-rug.org. Color Thoughtful use of color in home design is a top trend for 2015. “Colors are getting warmer,” notes Gilstrap. “Taupe is the bridge color taking us from gray to browner tones. Warm pinks are returning, as well as warmer greens like moss and olive - even apple.” Keep in mind adding personality to a space through use of warm
color doesn’t necessarily require a complete interior overhaul. Consider incorporating spring colors using accent pieces. It’s easy to switch up pillows, throws or artwork without investing a lot of time or money. Plus it’s a fun way to update the personality of your favorite spaces every season. Texture and pattern This spring, more homeowners are using textures and patterns to make a visual statement through design. Strategic use of texture and patterns can highlight certain interior spaces, manipulate the light within the room and influence scale. Blending both adds visual interest and helps homeowners create a unique space to call their own. “Layering of pattern and texture - in floors, walls, upholstery, window treatments - gives a more individualized feel,” says Gilstrap. Scared of mixing patterns and textures? She suggests placing patterns on stairs or in hallways. If big and bold patterns aren’t your taste, consider sticking to small, neutral patterns that can be a subtle way to add visual interest and design complexity to interior spaces. Lighting Lighting plays an important twopronged role: it makes a space functional and also helps define its design aesthetic. Adjusting the task
lighting within a room can instantly make the space more livable and highlight the design motif. Another easy lighting update is purchasing new lamps or simply adding new shades to existing lamps - a great way to refresh a space with minimal cost. Keep in mind, when selecting fixtures, there’s no longer a need to avoid gold tones. “Gold is coming back- we are seeing more gold and copper and less silver,” says Gilstrap. Want to really redefine your home’s lighting? Ornamental lighting is big this year with designers thinking outside the box when it comes to how and where these fixtures can be used. For example, dramatic chandeliers are no longer reserved for formal spaces such as the dining room or foyer. This spring, you can add a touch of elegance to any space by adding a stylish chandelier, plus it doesn’t take up much design real estate space. Bedrooms, basements and bars are just a few unique areas where chandeliers can be featured.
Nothing to sneeze at: tips for seasonal allergy relief Spring is upon us, and if you have seasonal allergies, you may be less excited about that than most. After all, what fun is finally freeing your face from that scarf if you’re just going to bury it in a tissue? It’s no fun at all, but allergies don’t have to make you miserable. “The key to surviving allergies is knowing what triggers your symptoms,” said allergist James Sublett, MD, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). “Because there can be millions of pollen particles in the air, finding allergy relief can seem nearly impossible for some. But by knowing what triggers your allergy symptoms, and how to avoid these allergens, you can be on your way to a sneeze-free season. Here are tips from ACAAI to help you find relief and enjoy spring. * The feel of cotton. For allergy suffers, not all clothing materials are created equal. Research shows that when synthetic fabrics rub against one another, they create an electrical charge that attracts pollen, which, as it turns out, is also electrically charged. Natural fibers such as cotton also breathe better, so they stay drier and less hospitable to moisture-loving
mold. * Adjust your workout routine. After months indoors, you can’t wait to exercise outside. However, exercising causes you to breathe more deeply and inhale the pollen that affects your allergy symptoms. If you’re planning a vigorous workout, try to stay indoors and if you’re planning on taking a casual walk, take a nondrowsy antihistamine before you go. Exercise outdoors when pollen counts are at their lowest - before dawn and in the late afternoon or early evening. * Garden smart. Think your spring allergies are going to force you to quit gardening? Think again. Taking an antihistamine about half an hour before you head outside will help. You should also wear gloves and a NIOSH-rated 95 filter mask if your tasks including digging in the dirt, which can stir up pollen. Avoid touching your eyes, and be sure to wash your hands, hair and clothing once you go back indoors. * Take something a little stronger. Over the counter intranasal steroids (nasal sprays) as well as non-drowsy antihistamines and decongestants can be beneficial for those suffering from mild allergies. However, people suffering from more severe allergies
will benefit from seeing an allergist. “An allergist will help you develop an action plan with ways to avoid allergy triggers and determine what treatment is best for your individual needs,” says Dr. Sublett. Many severe allergy sufferers find relief in immunotherapy - allergy shots that help the body build resistance to the effects of the allergen. While there is no cure for the more than 50 million Americans suffering from allergies, immunotherapy is known to modify and prevent disease progression. * Eliminate uninvited guests. You can make your spring allergies more bearable by limiting your exposure
to indoor allergens. Vacuum your furniture, leave your shoes by the door, shower frequently, cover your floors with washable throw rugs and use a dehumidifier to limit your mold exposure. All of these steps will help, and look for a good air purifier with a HEPA filter. Spring allergies are a fact of life but you don’t have to let them dictate yours. Employ the tips above, and you’ll be able to enjoy the warmer weather without constantly reaching for a tissue.
