Weekend Tips

On By kcrailIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

The weekend is here! But given the current climate in which we are being asked to stay home, we wanted to remind everyone that you can complete many of your weekend errands and fun while practicing social distancing.

  1. Grocery shopping- Several stores offer curbside pickup in which you simply order online and a store employee will bring your groceries to your car
  2. Lunch and dinner options – At this time, almost all restaurants offer curbside takeout, allowing for them to keep doing business and saving you the hassle of cooking
  3. Appointments – Especially if they’re with a healthcare provider, all companies have live professionals that are willing to help you over the phone
  4. Workouts – Due to the Covid-19 spread, workout coaches have begun posting free workouts online that anyone can complete in the comfort of their home
  5. Entertainment – Film studios know that this is not a dress rehearsal when it comes to abiding by the demand to stay in, so many are offering their latest blockbusters on demand for you and your family to watch at home
  6. Friends – Check in with your friends via phone or facetime!  Schedule a video call or virtual hang out with friends or family.

Lastly, if you must go out for necessities that cannot be dealt with electronically or purchased for delivery, please remember to sanitize and practice safe social distancing.  Wishing everyone a safe and healthy weekend!

Friday the 13th

On By Western Mutual BlogIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Today is Friday the 13th, typically recognized as a superstitious day with unexplainable events and misfortune. However, many fail to realize the rarity and fun facts about this day.

For example, most horror films are released on this day and historically have grossed substantially over initial predictions suggested.

Fittingly, Alfred Hitchcock was born on Friday the 13th.

Every year will have at least one fearful Friday but this year holds two in store for us.

Let us know what you do to ensure a safe and positive day.

It’s that time of year again when we have to get used to the change in time. Daylight savings also known as summer hours will begin Sunday March 8th.  Allowing for us to take advantage of more sunlight and long summer nights. Sounds great right? Well, we lose an hour of sleep as the clock will jump ahead at 2AM. So remember to go to sleep early and set your clocks forward!  This is also a good time of year to change your smoke alarm batteries and verify they are in working condition.

Spring Cleaning Tips

On By Western Mutual BlogIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

As winter comes to an end and we prepare for spring to bloom, many people take this time to do some house cleaning in preparation with a nice little tune.

We would like to give you some tips on making this process a breeze, it’ll make your home look good by getting rid of the dust but it might make you sneeze.

So take on this task and prepare yourself well, here is the list to make this season go swell.

  • Create a list of all the rooms and the items that need to be taken care of in each, regardless of where you start just make sure you finish one room before moving on to the next
  • De-clutter before sanitizing or dusting as an organized room, pantry or closet compels the mind to continue cleaning and eliminates unnecessary stress
  • Always work from top to bottom, especially if removing cobwebs or dusting ceiling fans. And before vacuuming, clean table/counter tops to knock dust off
  • Eliminate the germs that ruled during winter by washing curtains in hot water, replacing shower curtains and sanitizing light switches, sink handles, remote controls and soap pumps as the hand touches that before getting washed!
  • Don’t forget about your air filters and air ducts which build up dust and are the entryway for unwanted outdoor allergies

We hope this makes your spring cleaning a little easier, let us know your tips and tricks.
