Top Landscape Design Trends for Outdoor Living
O
ur lives are filled with so many responsibilities. This creates a need for our own personal spaces for escape and relaxation. Outdoor living oases have been highly sought after because of this cultural trend. The following are a few themes that are now in demand for many homeowners.
Low Maintenance Lawns and Gardens More and more, homeowners are looking for landscape design ideas that offer less maintenance. The following are some innovative concepts for making the most of your outdoor space without adding extra upkeep. • Pave some of your lawn with attractive stonework. This technique is gaining popularity as a way of lessening the need for mowing. The paved area can be used for seating or alternatively for displays of potted plants or sculpture. • Go natural with a cottage style garden. Cottage gardens are naturally thick and lush, offering impressive beauty with less need for weeding and pruning. • Irrigation systems are gaining popularity with home gardeners who wish to save time and energy. The cost of installation will pay off over time with greater yields of produce, or a bigger bounty of beautiful blooms.
Comfort and Privacy for Your Outdoor Living Space From backyard studios to a simple hedge of shrubs for privacy, planning for a special hidden spot in your backyard pays off. Some things to add to your outdoor living space for the most comfort and enjoyment include: • Incorporate a pavilion or pergola into your design. Create a space outdoors where you can enjoy time out of the sun or rain. • If you don’t have the space to plant a green privacy screen of trees and shrubs, incorporate a green wall. This is a stand apart feature that will delineate the lines of your outdoor space. • Stone retaining walls that can double as bench seating are a major plus. Some of the best areas to use this design are near dining areas, firepits, and gardens.
Smart Homes Make the Best Staycations Outdoor kitchens and bars, entertainment systems, and firepits are just some of the design elements incorporated into a staycation home. • High-end kitchen appliances, granite counter-tops, and lighting for luxury day and night. • Customized built-in televisions and surround sound systems that include the entire yard are great for family fun and entertainment. • Bringing the inside outdoors is a big trend. Outdoor showers and bathtubs are a great example. • Applications that govern lighting, pools/spas and security afford control and protection. • Extend your Wi-Fi and allow your family and guests to be part of the fun in your outdoor living space even if they feel they must “stay connected”.
Edible Landscapes Every year the word “fresh” gains more importance so edible gardens are taking off. Nothing is fresher than picking your own fruits and vegetables from right outside your door. A small investment of work will soon grow into a plentiful source of wholesome food for family and friends. Blend trending designs with classics for the best look. Incorporate features that work with your lifestyle and amount of free time. Customize your landscape design to stand apart.

his exhibition featuring a selection of 72 works by one of rock & roll’s best-known and most respected photographers. Active in the rock scene for over fifty years, Bob Gruen has shot some of the most memorable images of rock music’s greatest artists. His photographic approach is distinguished by the ability to capture performers, both onstage and off, through candid images that convey the feeling of the moment. The show will be on view from June 21-November 10, 2019. From the beginning of his career Bob Gruen has been as central to the rock scene as the musicians he photographed. His body of work reflects rock music’s trajectory, from the mid-1960s, documenting pioneers such as Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, and Elvis Presley, to the hard rock bands of the early 1970s, such as The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Who. He was also John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s personal photographer and friend, taking pictures of their working life as well as private times.

Natural & Quick Relief from
SEASONAL ALLERGIES By Susan Baldani
W
Dr. Sean McLaughlin, Chiropractor, James Bonardi, Physical Therapist, Dr. Morgan Reade, Acupuncturist
hether you need a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, or a physical, massage or occupational therapist, Fairfield Wellness and Physical Therapy, located inside 360 Fitness in Fairfield, can help you find the right treatment for your individual needs. Dr. Sean McLaughlin, a chiropractor for 15 years and a partner in the center, spoke with Suburban Essex Magazine about one of the ways in which Fairfield Wellness and Physical Therapy can help people obtain relief from a common problem–allergies.
What is one of the frequent complaints your patients have once the weather gets warm? Right now, I’m treating a lot of patients with sinus issues due to allergies. Fatigue, head and chest congestion, stuffy nose, and irritability are just some of the symptoms that can make a person feel miserable.
Why should people go to Fairfield Wellness and Physical Therapy instead of a more traditional medical center?
A simple Sinus Drainage technique can give patients relief either immediately or within 24-hours. Using a combination of treatments involving my fingertips and an acoustic resonator tool, I’m able to help the fluids drain naturally from your sinuses and out through your body. It’s completely noninvasive and can be done as often as needed. The treatment is also quick, taking only about 5 to 10 minutes.
I believe in helping the body heal itself. This is actually the main reason I became a chiropractor. While modern western medicine and the medications prescribed are necessary and provide patients relief daily, our office offers natural alternatives. Using non-invasive techniques, the body avoids having to filter out toxins and waste from medications, which puts it under unnecessary stress.
What can aggravate and ease the discomforts of allergies?
To find out more about treatments for allergies and/or other health issues, contact one of their experienced and professional staff members.
Anything that grows, such as weeds, flowers, trees and grass, can aggravate allergies, but so can dust in the home/vehicle or dirty air conditioning filters. Therefore, having a clean household can help cut down on irritants. Allergies are usually worse in the spring through the fall, but can be a year-round issue, so you need to stay vigilant.

Take Steps Toward SUPERIOR SLEEP
W
hile it’s fairly common knowledge that quality sleep is essential to overall wellness, there are several factors that can keep you from getting the rest you need. However, overcoming them is well within your control. “A lack of sleep can often be the result of poor habits, environmental variables or a combination of factors,” said Dr. Sujay Kansagra, an associate professor at Duke University Medical Center and sleep health expert for Mattress Firm. “Undiagnosed medical disorders aside, most people find that overcoming their sleep obstacles is very achievable.”

Try Improving Your Sleep with These Seven Tips: Create an atmosphere conducive to sleep by choosing comfortable bedding and setting the thermostat to a temperature between 68-72 F. An ambient noise machine may drown out traffic and other sleep-disturbing sounds. If it’s not possible to completely darken your room, try installing dark-out curtains or wearing a sleep mask. Blue light emitted by electronic devices and ambient light may delay or disrupt your sleep. It’s best to remove or limit cellphones and other sources of bright light from the bedroom at least 30 minutes before it’s time for you to fall asleep. Establish a bedtime routine and stick to it. At about the same time each evening, listen to soothing music, read a book or take a warm bath or shower. Yoga moves that relax muscles and promote steady breathing can be helpful but avoid vigorous activity that accelerates your heart rate before bedtime. Be conscious of factors that may affect the quality of your rest. If you have reflux or experience frequent back pain, your sleep may not be as restful. Consider upgrading your bed with an adjustable base that allows you to change your sleep position with the simple push of a button. A slight elevation to your neck and head can allow for a more open airway and a quieter night of sleep. Adjustable bases like those from Mattress Firm offer a movable foundation for your mattress. Because of its adaptability, an adjustable base is suitable for sleepers with chronic pain or reflux, as well as the average sleeper looking for more comfort. If your mattress shows signs of age, it may be the reason you have trouble falling asleep. There are several factors that determine the “shelf life” of your mattress, including quality and usage, so it’s important to evaluate your mattress regularly to make sure it’s still giving you the support you need for a good night’s sleep.
Team of Wellbeing in Caldwell LightPort Physical Therapy & Spa® Team are successful for using a comprehensive and personalized approach to treat different orthopedic or neurological conditions as well as sports injuries, repetitive stress on muscles or stiffness in joints. We focus all our treatments on manual therapy and exercises that can help gain flexibility, joint mobility and muscle balance. Dr. John De Hoyos, DPT & Founder of LightPort Physical Therapy & Spa®, is passionate about the Wellbeing of his team and patients. He combines the arts and the science of physical therapy to develop a proactive approach to wellness including extensive experience in customer satisfaction, best therapeutic modalities and specific manual therapy techniques as needed for each individual who find support on their path to recovery.
If you are unable to fall asleep after 20 minutes, try getting out of bed and doing something relaxing until you feel sleepy. Staying in bed and watching the clock increases your anxiety and can make it more difficult to drift off.

Remember that good daytime habits promote better quality sleep at night. You may be rewarded with a better night’s sleep by exercising daily, maintaining a healthy and balanced diet and reducing or eliminating nicotine. Avoid naps during the day if possible, but if one is required, limit it to 30 minutes or less and take it early in the afternoon. Get outside during the morning to enjoy the benefits of natural light, which is a strong regulator of the biological clock. Not getting an appropriate amount of sleep can be detrimental to your physical and mental well-being and may pose serious health risks.
