Seasonal Renovations: How Timing Can Affect the Cost of Your Garage Makeover

  Renovating your garage is a fantastic investment that transforms a basic storage space into a functional and appealing part of your home. However, the timing can significantly impact the cost and the project’s efficiency. Factors such as demand for services, weather conditions, and material availability all vary seasonally, which makes some seasons better than others for certain types of upgrades. If your renovation plans include adding a new garage coating, for instance, timing is crucial. Coating applications rely on specific temperature ranges and low humidity to cure correctly. Understanding how each season affects different aspects of a makeover can help you make better decisions. Winter Winter is the least common time for makeovers, but it can offer substantial savings. Demand for contractors tends to drop, which lowers labor costs and creates opportunities for discounts on materials. If your garage […]

Merriweather Lakehouse Is The Perfect Winter Getaway

I Used Future Fitness App For 1 Year. Here’s My Review!

  When I learned that over 50% of all people that sign up for a gym membership go only once a week or bail on the experience altogether, I wasn’t surprised. A few years back I joined a small local gym determined to stay active and get fit. It was close to my house and started out great. I was going 4-5 times a week, attending classes, and keeping up with it. But, as time went on I got bored with my routine and the equipment there.  My last straw was when a personal trainer there started chowing down on spaghetti & meatballs, right behind me while I was running on a treadmill, and while he was training another member. As soon as the smell of his lunch wafted through the hot gym and hit me, I knew I was […]

Easy Holiday Pizza Party Ideas

  The holidays can have us running around like crazy and constantly short on time. In between decorating, shopping, wrapping gifts, and baking up a storm, having to cook dinner is the last thing we want to do.  That’s why having frozen pizza is a great thing to have on hand to help you save lots of meal-prepping time during the holidays! Not only is frozen pizza quick and easy, it’s super delicious too. Unfortunately, most of the frozen pizzas on the market aren’t made with the best ingredients. Plus if you have dietary restrictions or are trying to eat healthier, it can be difficult to find one that you actually want to eat.  We have a favorite we think you’ll love. Milton’s Cauliflower Crust Pizza Infused with the goodness of cauliflower and gluten-free, Milton’s Cauliflower Crust Pizzas from Milton’s […]

Fresh Cranberry Sauce With Orange & Cinnamon

Better Living uses affiliate links. If you make a purchase through them, we may receive a small commission (for which we are deeply grateful) at no cost to you.   Once you try this homemade, fresh cranberry sauce with orange & cinnamon, you’ll be upset that you’ve gone so many Thanksgivings without it. Ordinary store-bought cans of “cranberry sauce” simply pale in comparison. The tartness of the berries is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the sugar and elevated with a hint of orange and cinnamon. It’s not too sweet though. If you like the texture and bite of whole berries in your sauce, take it off the heat as soon as all the berries have popped. For a smoother cranberry sauce, continue cooking it a bit longer than suggested. This is sure to be a Thanksgiving table staple for […]
