Brighten Up Your Decor When people hear anything about updating their decor, they immediately see dollar signs. Rather than completely overhauling your apartment for every season, make a few small updates to add a few pops of color to your classic apartment look. Bring fresh cut flowers inside for a subtle aroma and a beautiful decor item. And rather than simply shoving them in a vase, add an extra flair to your centerpiece by adding fresh-sliced fruit to the water.
Freshen Up The Air Warm temperatures can have even the cleanest kitchens harboring hard-to-stomach odors in the summer-time. Rather than simply dealing with the smell until the early fall hits, take a few moments and grind up lemon and lime peels in your sink's garbage disposal. Not only will the acids in the citrus help to rid your sink of its offending odors, your kitchen will also reap the benefits of a subtle citrus scent, as well.Have Plenty Of Ice On Hand Nothing is worse than preparing to pour yourself a cold glass of iced tea and then realizing that you forgot the ice. Cool beverages work wonders when it comes to cooling your body down during the hottest parts of the day - and they taste great too. Whether you've got an automatic ice dispenser, or you use old-fashioned trays, be sure to keep your freezer fully stocked.
