Letter from the Publisher Daylight Maker we are over the hump of a building with no natural light. I had a winter, at least that is what SAD light that I used every morning and it I am telling myself. I feel like February can helped me immensely. I’m not saying that go either way, the weather can clear up and it works for everyone but I enjoyed it and start to feel like Spring or Old Man Winter it felt like I was taking a proactive step to may decide to show up and give us the do something good for myself. I purchased storm of the year. Regardless of my SAD light from Costco the weather, I am really looking for under $100. forward to more daylight. I am so Take a walk on your break. tired of the gloomy dull days and When I worked for the State when I finally get ready to take of Alaska I had two breaks, my wee one for a walk, I realize plus a lunch everyday. it’s around sunset, before 4pm During my fifteen minute and we’ve missed our chance breaks (when I actually took at a little daylight! I am lucky them) I would either go enough that I work from home outside, weather permitting

Find a the person who works a typical nine to five place that you can either get fresh air or (like my husband) daylight is very scarce some good exposure to daylight and soak this time of year. Here are a couple of tips up as much light as you can. to maximize the little daylight we have.

Get out during lunch time. Again, when I worked office hours I would eat my lunch outside or near a window. Sometimes I would scarf my lunch as fast as I could and then walk or run either up basin road or down Thane and enjoy the outdoors.

With the heavy rain and snow gear we Alaskans have for the outdoors, a brisk walk in the crummiest of weather at lunch is still obtainable as is not looking like a hurricane hit you when you’re back in your cube.

Maximize your weekend daylight. This is something I am sure everyone does, get out, get out, get out!!! Turn off the phone, unplug the electronics, save your TV watching for something you absolutely

cannot miss and get outside! There is a range of activities to do depending on the weather. Get creative, play a game of tag, build a snowman, make “crop circles” in the snow.

Whatever it may be to lift your spirits, I hope that you have a wonderful February!

any experience with this so I am taking his word for it. He says the silver lining of this situation is that he sometimes has to park far away, exposing him to more daylight via a brisk morning walk to work.

The Secrets Designers Use to Light Your Home Good lighting should multitask and set the mood: Lighting in Layers A perfectly lit room has three basic layers: 1. Overhead lighting 2. Task lighting 3. Accent lighting An example for the bedroom would be — a chandelier for overhead, bedside

Think about where you want to aim your light; shades angled up will light the entire room and those pointing down, like a reading lamp, will brighten a contained space.

The height of Table Lamps is key; the bottom of the shade should be just below eye level when sitting by it.

Otherwise the light will be shining in your face.

A chandelier in the dining room should hang 30 to 36 inches above the dining table.

The width of the chandelier should be at least one half the width of the table or it will feel too small.

Mirrors help a small space seem lighter.

Light will bounce off the mirror and make the room appear bigger and brighter.

Adding sconces always make a dining room more elegant. You can even use the plug-in kind and hide the cord with a decorative object.

2,500 lumens of light is ideal for dining –about three 60-watt bulbs.

In the Kitchen Translucent glass shades on pendant fixtures will reduce glare in the kitchen.

reading lamps as task lighting, and accent lights above the headboard and artwork.

Highlight something unexpected, a nook or bookcase. Keep it mellow with a 500-lumen bulb.

In the Living Room

In the Bathroom

Ideally you want 2,000-3,000 lumens.

The measure of brightness is lumens and called and LED bulb. An LED of 800 lumens is comparable to a 60-watt bulb.

A perfect light scheme includes lights above AND on both sides of the mirror. Lights on either side help to fill in the shadows from the overhead light.

In the Dining Room

Hanging overhead lighting fixtures such as pendants should sit 30 to 36 inches above the island work surface.

This will keep you and your guests from hitting their heads.

Dimmers The quickest fix for every room of your home? Changing all of your switches to dimmers. A dimmer is an inexpensive ($20 to $25) and an essential tool that puts you in control of the quality and

quantity of light.

You can install a dimming system either as a whole-house lighting control or by adding a wall box dimmer in each room and lamps with dimmer switches.

Another bonus, dimming your lights 50 percent can save approximately 40 percent in electricity and increase the life of your bulb. Be sure to have dimmer bulbs!

But all of this aside, experiences are something that you can’t buy in the store. It’s something that no one will ever share but you, and something no one will ever appreciate more than you. So instead of buying something from the store (unless it’s a plane ticket or a guided adventure), consider something that really will be just as unique as you are.

REINVENT YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION: (BPT) - Tis’ the season for new beginnings. As holiday gifts give way to New Year’s resolutions, general health and wellness is top-of-mind, consistently ranking as a top goal for both men and women this time of year. This resolution season, try incorporating lifestyle changes that benefit both you and your pet.

PetSmart veterinarian and pet care expert Dr. Kemba Marshall provides some helpful tips for achieving a healthier lifestyle for you and your animal companions.

1. Exercise is key. Pets, like humans, need physical activity in order to be healthy. The good news is giving your pet adequate daily exercise is easy! For some dog breeds, 30-minute walks are enough. For others, a game of fetch does the trick. Interested in trying something new? Mix up the activity. Try sprinting alongside your pet in quick intervals. Balls are great for fetch, but have you ever tried a Frisbee?

Even a quick trip to the mailbox each day is a great option. No matter what, both you and your pet will have fun spending time together and getting a workout.

Include your pet

2. Stimulate the brain. Maintaining a healthy pet lifestyle goes beyond physical exercise.

Activities to stimulate a pet’s mental skills are fun and important too. Try a treat-dispensing or puzzle toy with your dog or cat to keep their mind active.

Introduce the new toy before a meal, this way your pet will be hungry to learn.

ents with a minimal processing, resulting in dehydrated, freezedried and air-dried raw products that deliver the paleo diet for pets.

This natural brand eliminates all artificial ingredients such as flavorings or preservatives.

The best way to switch your pet’s food is by providing a gradual transition, mixing the old food with the new for up to 10 days.

3. Optimize the diet. Have you been feeding your pet the same food for years? It may be time for you and your veterinarian to assess his food and make sure you’re providing one that is healthy and satisfying. Only Natural Pet was recently launched at PetSmart as a brand dedicated to the paleo-inspired diet for pets.

It blends proteins with all-natural ingredi-

4. Monitor your pet’s activity and behavior. This may come as a surprise to many, but discovering an unhealthy habit in your pet’s day-to-day life is as simple as paying closer attention to his or her behavior. While many humans monitor their daily behavior with technical gadgets and apps, monitoring a pet’s daily activity may also lead to a healthier lifestyle. Is

your pup demonstrating pent-up energy?

More exercise might be necessary. Are they devouring their food too quickly?

Maybe an active feeding approach is the right solution. Most often, correcting the behavior is as easy as discovering it in the first place.

5. Stick with your resolutions. Change can be tough on pets, especially when it disrupts diet or day-to-day routines. The important thing to remember is that positive results rarely come without work. As cliché as it may sound, both you and your pet will be thankful for the change in the long run.

These tips are a wonderful way to kickstart a healthier lifestyle for both you and your pet in the new year. Increasing your physical activity and improving your diet are just the first two steps. By monitoring yourself and your pet, increasing mental stimulation and sticking with your resolutions, a newer, healthier life for both you and your furry friend is well within reach.

SAME PEOPLE, SAME GREAT SERVICE!

How Small is too Small Probably because my biggest challenge has been to practice the art of simplicity, I’m intrigued by the tiny house movement. There have been times I’ve even really wanted to actually try living in one of these trendy creations – Pinterest, magazines, and now even a HGTV show dedicated to tiny living all make the endeavor seem not only achievable but comfortable. Could I do it with husband, two kids and a dog?

My husband always quickly brings me back to reality – I don’t know how to live this small. Just moving from our home to a smaller condo this year has been an on-going exercise in downsizing. Living in a smaller space would most certainly require keeping only the basic necessities and a few things that you just love.

There would be no room for anything else.

In order to meet the strict definition of a “tiny home”, the dwelling should not exceed 400 square feet. Anything under 1,000 square feet is considered “small”.

There are lots of reasons people have chosen to start living smaller. Finances, however, are often the primary reason

?

the average size of a home in the City and Borough of Juneau is 1646 sq ft.

Depending on the source you site, the national average is somewhere around 2700 square feet and growing. The lack of availability for these smaller than average size houses also pushes greater than 32% of Juneau’s households into what is considered a cost-burdened living situation, meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on housing costs. The affordability of renter-occupied units is even lower, with 40% of renters considered cost-burdened. This makes the move toward homeownership for renters even more challenging. Then the quality of many of these homes for the cost is an entirely different and difficult subject.
