How to Develop a Reading Habit

How to Develop a Reading Habit: Simple Tips for Consistent Reading

Reading regularly has many benefits, from enhancing your knowledge to improving focus and reducing stress. In this article, we will explore practical strategies to help you develop a sustainable reading habit, whether you’re a beginner or looking to read more consistently.

Why Is Developing a Reading Habit Important?

Reading opens up new worlds, stimulates the mind, and offers valuable life lessons. It not only helps expand your vocabulary and knowledge but also allows you to relax and unwind. Developing a consistent reading habit can improve your cognitive abilities, boost creativity, and foster lifelong learning.

Benefits of Reading Regularly

  • Improves mental stimulation and memory.
  • Increases knowledge and vocabulary.
  • Reduces stress and anxiety.
  • Enhances concentration and focus.
  • Provides better sleep when reading before bed.

Step 1: Set Achievable Reading Goals

One of the easiest ways to develop a reading habit is to set clear, realistic goals. Start small and gradually increase the amount of reading you do. For example, aim to read one chapter a day or 15 minutes each morning.

Make Your Goals Specific and Measurable

Instead of setting a vague goal like “read more books,” try something like “read 10 pages every day” or “finish reading 2 books this month.” This helps keep you accountable and makes your progress easier to track.

Step 2: Create a Reading Routine

Consistency is key when developing any new habit. Set aside dedicated time for reading each day. Whether it’s during your commute, over lunch, or before bed, find a time that works for you and stick to it.

Incorporate Reading into Daily Life

If you’re struggling to find time for reading, try incorporating it into activities you already do. Listen to audiobooks while driving or exercising, or read a few pages while waiting for appointments.

Step 3: Choose Books That Excite You

One of the best ways to stay motivated is to read books that genuinely interest you. Explore different genres, authors, or topics that you’re curious about. When you’re excited about what you’re reading, you’re more likely to stick with it.

Start with Shorter Books or Easy Reads

If you’re new to reading or haven’t read for a while, start with shorter books or lighter reads. This will help build momentum and make it easier to develop the habit without feeling overwhelmed.

Step 4: Minimize Distractions While Reading

To fully immerse yourself in your book, minimize distractions. Find a quiet spot, turn off notifications, and try to create a peaceful environment. The less distracted you are, the more you’ll enjoy your reading time.

Conclusion: Make Reading a Lifelong Habit

Developing a reading habit takes time and consistency, but the rewards are well worth the effort. By setting clear goals, creating a reading routine, and choosing books that excite you, you can make reading a regular part of your life. Start small, stay consistent, and enjoy the many benefits that reading brings!

How to Plant a Tree: A Step-by-Step Guide

How to Plant a Tree: A Step-by-Step Guide

Planting a tree in your yard is a rewarding and environmentally beneficial task. In this guide, we’ll walk you through each step of the process to ensure your tree thrives for years to come.

Why Plant a Tree?

Planting a tree provides numerous benefits to both the environment and your property. Trees help absorb carbon dioxide, reduce soil erosion, and provide shelter for wildlife. In addition, they can improve your home’s curb appeal and even increase property value.

Step 1: Choose the Right Tree for Your Area

Consider Climate and Soil Conditions

Before planting, make sure to select a tree species that is well-suited to your local climate and soil conditions. Some trees thrive in colder climates, while others are more suited for warmer areas. You can consult with a local nursery to find the best options for your region.

Popular Tree Options

Some common tree options for residential planting include oak, maple, and pine trees. Make sure to choose a tree that fits your yard’s size and aesthetic preferences.

Step 2: Prepare the Planting Site

Select the Right Location

Choose a location that receives adequate sunlight and has enough space for the tree to grow. Avoid planting too close to buildings, power lines, or other trees.

Digging the Hole

The hole should be about twice as wide as the root ball of the tree and deep enough to accommodate the roots without crowding them. Make sure the soil is loose and well-drained to promote healthy root growth.

Step 3: Plant the Tree

Once the hole is ready, carefully place the tree into the hole, making sure it is straight. Fill the hole with soil, gently packing it around the roots. Be careful not to bury the tree too deeply, as this can lead to root rot.

Step 4: Care for Your New Tree

Watering and Mulching

Water your tree thoroughly after planting, and continue to water it regularly, especially during dry periods. Mulching around the base of the tree helps retain moisture and protect the roots.

Pruning and Monitoring Growth

Regularly check your tree for any signs of disease or pests. Prune the tree as necessary to remove dead branches and encourage healthy growth.

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can successfully plant and care for a tree in your yard, contributing to a greener, healthier environment for years to come. Happy planting!

How To Choose Ceiling Lights

Ceiling lights, or fixtures that are mounted flush with the ceiling as opposed to hanging lights like pendants or chandeliers, are the oft unsung heroes of the ambient lighting category. While certain rooms can make use of ambient lighting from other types of fixtures, every home has areas where ceiling lights are the best (and sometimes only) fixture for the job.

The best method for layering light effectively in any room involves mixing and matching different types of lighting fixtures to create a lighting design that fulfills all the needs of that room. Each room needs a thoughtful mix of ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting.

Ceiling lights, or fixtures that are mounted flush with the ceiling
  • Task lighting, often fulfilled by pendants or adjustable floor lamps, aims light directly at your workspace.
  • Accent lighting like picture lights, draws attention to the unique decor and architectural features of your room.
  • Ambient lighting, including ceiling lights, creates a base layer of light that fills and brightens a room. When a room has the proper general ambient lighting, the other lighting layers become more effective, and the room is much more pleasant to use since harsh shadows and eyestrain are all reduced.

With the tips laid out in this guide, you can face your latest lighting project like a pro and pinpoint exactly what style of ceiling light you’ll need and the best ceiling light placement for every room of your home!

Types Of Ceiling Lights

On the surface, ceiling lights present a simple, unfussy solution for ambient lighting needs. But a few common mistakes can leave your room dim and uninspired, and can make your search for a ceiling light unexpectedly difficult. Knowing the differences among types of ceiling lights will help you choose the ceiling light fixture that is best suited to your space.

Flush Mount Lights vs. Semi-flush Mount Lights

There are two primary types of ceiling lights: flush mount ceiling lights and semi-flush mount ceiling lights. Flush mount ceiling lights are fixtures installed with little or no space between the body of the light and the ceiling— hence the name.

Semi-flush mount ceiling lights are mounted with a space between the body of the fixture and the canopy; they are usually suspended from a short chain or down rod and can lend the effect of a chandelier or lantern. Both are types of close-to-ceiling lights that provide ambient lighting to a room, but each type of fixture is best suited to a specific task and type of room.

How to Grow Zinnias

Zinnias are one of the easiest cut flowers to grow. They are the perfect first crop for beginning gardeners and are reliable, prolific producers no matter where you garden. 

In addition to churning out buckets and buckets of beautiful, long-stemmed blooms that are perfect for cutting, they are well-loved by pollinators. 

Zinnias resent cold weather and prefer to be planted after things have warmed up a bit. 

Zinnias are one of the easiest cut flowers to grow.

Many gardeners in warmer parts of the world are able to successfully direct-seed zinnias straight into the garden, but here in cool Washington we start our plants early in the greenhouse, 4 to 6 weeks before our last spring frost. 

Plants are then tucked into the field once the weather has sufficiently warmed and all danger of frost has passed.

Like every flower grown on our farm, we try to give them the best start possible and prepare our planting beds with a generous dose of compost and organic fertilizer. Learn more about soil preparation here.

How to Grow?

Once planting beds are prepared, we lay down drip irrigation lines and then cover the beds with a layer of preburned landscape fabric. Using fabric is not necessary for success, but here on the farm, we use it to increase heat and suppress weeds.

Plants are spaced 9 to 12 in (23 to 30 cm) apart and watered deeply one to two times per week depending on the weather. If given good soil and a steady supply of water, plants can get huge and will require some type of support. 

If grown in long rows, plants can be corralled by pounding heavy stakes or T-posts around the perimeter of the bed and using bailing twine to create a string-lined box to hold the plants upright. If you’re growing zinnias in your garden beds, individual plants can be tied to stakes with twine. 

The secret to getting the most abundant flower production and longest stems from your zinnias is pinching them when they are young. When plants are 8 to 12 in (20 to 30 cm) tall, take sharp pruners and snip the top 3 to 4 in (7 to 10 cm) off the plant, just above a set of leaves. This signals the plant to send up multiple stems from below where the cut was made. 

During spells of hot, dry weather, zinnias are prone to powdery mildew. Providing good airflow around the plants and making sure that they aren’t experiencing any drought stress will help minimize disease pressure. 

During spells of hot, dry weather, zinnias are prone to powdery mildew.

We’ve found that preventatively spraying a mixture of Cease and MilStop (both organic fungicides) every 7 to 10 days keeps it at bay. 

If you’re not regularly harvesting your zinnias, be sure to deadhead any spent blooms to help focus the plant’s energy on producing new flowers and not going to seed.

Zinnias need to be picked when they are fully ripe or they won’t last in the vase. To tell whether a zinnia is ready to harvest, use the “wiggle test.” Simply grab the stem about 8 in (20 cm) down from the flower head and gently shake it. If the stem is droopy or bends, it is not ready to cut. If the stem is stiff and remains erect, it is ready to harvest. 

Why Grow Zinnias?

Zinnias are considered a “dirty” flower and benefit from a drop or two of bleach in their water. Flowers are very cold sensitive, so don’t put them in the cooler. If floral preservative is added to the water, zinnias should last about a week in the vase.

I’ve been growing zinnias since the very beginning, and every year I fall more and more in love with them. If you want to see all of my favorite varieties, check out the zinnia section of the Floret Library. 

Zinnias are considered a  dirty flower

I would love to hear about your experience with this wonderful group of plants. Do you grow zinnias or plan to add them to your garden this coming season? If so, what are your favorite varieties, or what new treasures are you adding to your wish list?

Best Reusable Water Bottles in 2024

Reusable Water Bottles

When it comes to staying hydrated, a great reusable water bottle is both cheaper and more eco-friendly than the single-use plastic bottles. There are many options to choose from and it can be difficult to know what more to look for other than whether or not it holds water. We have found the best options with varied features you may not even know you’d like to have, including improved insulation. Getting into the habit of having a reusable water bottle around all day could help you to drink more water throughout the day to stay hydrated

Whether you like to add electrolytes to your water or prefer it plain yet crisp at every sip, there are water bottles on the market that can satisfy your preferences. We tested various water bottles and narrowed down our favorites based on our experience. Take a look at our top picks below.

 

Water bottle with best design

Klean Kanteen 16 oz. TKWide Insulated Water Bottle with Twist Cap

Klean Kanteen’s water bottle won me over based on its design. The twist cap incorporates a built-in straw that pops up when you twist it and folds down when you seal it back up. It’s simple yet functional, which makes it ideal for commuting or the office. It’s BPA-free and made up of 90% post-consumer recycled stainless steel. At 16 ounces, it isn’t the biggest bottle on the list, but it’s light enough to carry around with you, and owing to the slim size, it’s easy to hold in your hand. Klean Kanteen also offers 12-, 20- and 32-ounce bottles in this style. This bottle claims to keep water cold for up to 46 hours. I tested this out and was impressed that the water was still cool that many hours later. This is important to keep in mind if you’re opting for an insulated bottle. 

If the twist cap is not your cup of tea, you can also opt for a wide loop cap, which is a cover with a handle you can twist off, or the TKwide chug cap, which offers a different type of drinking spout that is made for outdoor activities. This is an easy-to-clean water bottle that is dishwasher safe and has a chip-resistant coating, so it’s built to last. 

Pros:

  • Clean-looking design
  • Easy to use
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Keeps water cold

Cons: 

  • Expensive
  • Not all cap options can be used with hot liquids 
  • Additional caps cost extra

Best budget water bottle

Nalgene 32 oz. Narrow Mouth Tritan Water Bottle

If you’re not looking to spend a lot of money on a water bottle, but want a trusted brand, then the Nalgene Narrow Mouth Tritan Water Bottle is your best choice. At under $20, it’s not the fanciest of the bunch, but it comes in multiple colors and is the biggest bottle on the list at 32 ounces. It’s made of BPA- and BPS-free plastic and is durable, so it can be cleaned in the dishwasher. The downsides to this bottle are that some people may find it bulky, and it also isn’t insulated. Therefore, you’re more likely to end up with room-temperature water after a while. The good news is there was no condensation noted during our testing, so you won’t likely have to worry about handling a damp bottle.

This water bottle is translucent, which makes it easy to see if you’re due for a refill. Although you have to twist the lid off, the narrow mouth makes it easy to drink from without spilling all over. The lid also makes it leak-proof, which is important if you’re taking it everywhere with you. 

Pros:

  • Affordable
  • Comes in various colors
  • Holds a lot of volume
  • Dishwasher safe

Cons:

  • No insulation
  • Size can be too bulky for some
  • Not as sophisticated looking as other bottles on the list
Blue Water Bottle

Best water bottle for the gym

Corkcicle Sport Canteen

The Corkcicle Sport Canteen easily became one of my favorite bottles, not only because of its design but because I found it to be versatile enough for home and gym use. It’s made of BPA-free materials and triple-insulated steel. It’s dishwasher safe which makes it easy to clean. You can choose from 20- or 32-ounce options. Corkcicle offers plenty of colors to choose from, and the distinctive bottle design isn’t the traditional water bottle shape. The top part of the bottle is slightly wider and angular, and it has flat sides for easy gripping, while the base has a nonslip silicone pad that makes the bottle extra sturdy and less likely to tip over. The quick sip cap prevents spills when drinking, and it’s designed in a way that is easy to flip open and close. 

According to Corkcicle, the bottle can keep beverages cold for up to 25 hours and hot for 12 hours. I tested this by leaving the bottle filled with water overnight and I can confirm that the water remained somewhat cool, but not as cold as during the earlier part of the day. Still, every time I took a sip of water throughout the daytime, the water was always still fresh and cold. The only other bottle that had its beat was the Iceshaker, which is known for its ability to keep drinks ice cold.  

This bottle is suitable for home, work or even the gym, especially if you want to guarantee that your water will remain chilled during hotter days. 

Pros:

  • Keeps water cold
  • Versatile design
  • Dishwasher safe

Cons:

  • May be overly large for some users
  • Some people may prefer a different drinking nozzle

NARS Foundation Makeup

Story of Nars Foundation

Did I need the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation?  Not even a bit.  But I was ordering something else from Cult Beauty and thought it was the perfect opportunity!  Absolutely!  If you can’t treat yourself during lockdown, when can you?   And I’d had it on my wish list for a few months, so sometimes, it just has to be done…  I’m always on the lookout for foundation that give decent coverage, that look flawless on and that last all day.  Then I found nars.

nars foundation makeup

I spent a good while trying to research swatches of Natural Radiant Longwear online, knowing I was nowhere near the Stromboli shade that most people seem to go for!  I very rarely wear fake tan, and after a lot of googling and researching, I decided that the shade Deauville would be a good match for me.  It’s slightly yellow toned which I like, as I have redness in my skin and the yellow counteracts that.  Deauville sits beautifully and evenly on my skin and the medium to high coverage does a stellar job at covering my redness.  I love that despite giving whopper coverage, it doesn’t look heavy or cakey on my skin, and has a natural yet radiant finish.

The pump dispenses the tiniest amount, and I’m not going to lie, the first time I used it, I applied a good 3-4 pumps on the back of my hand and got stuck in.  Big mistake.  Huge.  I used way too much and it emphasised everything – pores, fine lines, you name it!  So a little goes a long way as it’s incredibly pigmented!

before & after in Nars foundation

I’ve found it works well with my usual foundation brushes and sponges and I don’t need to spend ages blending it out.  Because of my oily t-zone, I still like to powder my nose, the areas either side of my cheeks, chin and forehead and I find it stays put all day.  Now for a fuller picture, my review is being carried out towards the end of lockdown where life hasn’t gone back to normal just yet.  When I’m out and about more, I’ll be able to fully say how it stands up against day to day life, but I think this is a keeper gals!  I can report that when I apply this when working from home, it still looks flawless at the end of a busy day on the laptop!

before&after

I love how this doesn’t look or feel heavy on my skin and I think those with dry skin will enjoy this too because it’s not drying on me and feels super lightweight on too.  If you’re on the hunt for a beautiful base that gives great coverage and stays put all day while looking natural, then definitely check out the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation!

Another one of my favourite long wear foundations is Estee Lauder Double Wear and I must do a newer review because this one is from 2014! Since then I’ve bought a few more bottles and still love it loads!  If you’re looking for something totally different, then my review on the Chanel Les Beiges Water Fresh Tint is worth reading. This is sheer, lightweight and evens out the complexion easily.  It’s ideal for the no makeup makeup days!

THE PERFECT WEDDING DRESS FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY

Shopping for a wedding dress can be overwhelming. While some brides launch the process with their dream dress in mind, finding ”the one” is still a challenge. We’ve compiled some of our best tips and tricks for narrowing down your bridal gown selections!

Shop Wedding Dresses by Silhouettes

Ball Gown Wedding Dress

Dress shopping starts with the silhouette. One of the most popular styles is the ball gown wedding dress, which has a full skirt, fitted bodice, and a cinched waist. This style will define your waist and highlight your bust.

If you’re looking to create a little extra curve, try corset bridal gowns to give your style even more drama. Plus size wedding dress collections are available, and nearly all Azazie wedding gowns and dresses can be custom fit for all sizes.

Modern Collection

If you’re a fan of clean lines, wedding dresses in our modern collection will give you a chic minimalist style that you’ll love. The straight cut adds even more length to your figure. If you’re looking to highlight your hips, there are two fabulous cuts you should try: the trumpet style, which is fitted below the knee, and drop waist style dresses, which shows off your waist and hip area.

A-line wedding dress

The most coveted of all silhouettes is the A-line wedding dress. The fitted bodice will showcase your waist to perfection and the skirt will flow softly in an A-shape from your hips. This classic look makes this a classic go-to cut for ball gowns.

Diamond White Champagne A-Line Halter Sequins Tulle Dress

Choose Wedding Dresses by Necklines, Hemlines, and Sleeves

On your unique day, a majority of the photos will be taken from the waist up, making the neckline of your bridal dress the star of the show. A strapless, corset bodice is the most popular because it is so versatile. If you have a fuller bust, a simple bodice with a structured off-the-shoulder wedding dress is a good place to start. If you have a smaller bust, you can look for an embellished bodice or a sweetheart wedding dress to give it more emphasis. Also, a square or scoop neckline looks great on everyone.

As for the hemline, it’s all about personal preference. Brides who want to show off their legs or are preparing a beach wedding can try a short wedding dress, and if you’re excited about showing off your shoulders, try a halter neckline dress. More conservative brides can go for a dress with an illusion neckline.

Wedding Dresses with Fabulous Details

Boho Wedding Dress

One of the most fun things to focus on is the details on your dress. These fabulous accents will usually depend on the theme. If it is a vintage theme, featuring delicate lace detailing and cap sleeves will be great. Unique elements like a colored sash is perfect for a modern theme. For bohemian theme, a boho wedding dress with ruffle accents and a flowing skirt can give you a signature relaxed feel.

Diamond White Champagne A-Line Sweetheart Lace Dress

Prince Wedding Dress

Dreaming of a gorgeous fairy wedding dress? Our princess wedding dresses exude elegance and grace, characterized by intricate lace detailing, flowing silk fabrics, and a voluminous skirt that trails behind like a cascade of clouds. Adorned with sparkling embellishments and perhaps a tiara atop her head, the dress embodies regality and sophistication, turning the bride into a vision of fairy tale enchantment.

Beach Wedding Dress

Another aspect to consider is your wedding venue. A destination wedding goes perfectly with a dramatic gown, such as the beach wedding dresses. Garden themes are perfect for dresses with whimsical details like tulle or lace overlays.

Chiffon Wedding Dress

Always remember not to go overboard with the embellishments. It’s important not to overwhelm your figure, and if you’re looking to create more curves, look for a chiffon wedding dress to exaggerate your shape. Also, asymmetrical pleating and heavier embellishments are fun details for any bride who wants to give her look a modern twist.

Wedding Dress Trends

Bridal collections on the runway have been an eclectic mix over the past few seasons. In addition to vintage dresses, highly embellished and off shoulder looks have been very popular, while other brides have been opting for sleek and minimalist dresses.

As for color, not only are brides saying goodbye to the traditional white dress and hello to blush colors, runway styles are also showing hints of blue, gray, and mint. Tulle wedding dresses has been a consistent winner for fabric, as brides are in love with romantic, light-as-air tulle skirts.

The traditional styles remain a option for brides. A western wedding dress embodies tradition, elegance, and individual style. Typically, western wedding dresses feature a variety of styles, ranging from classic ball gowns to sleek sheath dresses. These dresses often showcase luxurious fabrics such as satin, lace, or tulle, adorned with intricate beadwork, delicate embroidery, or lace appliqués. The neckline can vary, from strapless and sweetheart to illusion and off-the-shoulder, adding a touch of romance and allure to the gown.

country wedding dress embodies rustic charm, effortless elegance, and a touch of down-to-earth beauty. Inspired by the simplicity and natural surroundings of the countryside, these dresses often feature soft and flowing fabrics like chiffon or lace, perfectly suited to outdoor settings. Embellishments such as floral appliqués, lace overlays, and subtle beadwork add a touch of rustic charm and feminine grace to country wedding dresses. They may also feature unique elements like cowboy boots or a floral crown, reflecting the bride’s individual style and the laid-back atmosphere of a country wedding.
