First time living on your own and want to make it YOURS? When it comes to home decoration, it is often true that you are most likely to get it wrong the first time, e.g; the couch is too big, the decor doesn't match, the colors are off, etc.

— not only do we need to exercise — but so do our furry friends.

Summer backyard grilling sounds like all fun and games until ... it isn't!
BBQs and cookouts have become a huge part of our culture, especially during the summer holidays. But grill fires are still a huge risk.
The Fourth of July holiday
is quickly approaching, and with it comes Fourth of July fireworks and fears. While pyrotechnic extravaganzas are fun for us to watch, our pets feel a bit differently. Bright lights, ear splitting sounds, and acrid smells in the air are terrifying to our furry friends. Many pets are lost each July when fireworks cause them to panic and run away, trying to escape the spectacle. Others cower in closets or under beds shaking with fear. For some dogs, the fear stays with them long after the fireworks stop and they are reluctant to leave the house to go for walks.
Have pets but not sure which plants to get?
Houseplants are good for the soul, our well-being, and our everyday lives as we are spending more and more time at home. But if you have pets, it's important to know what plants to get because some are dangerously poisonous to your pets.
Plants like aloe and philodendron are extremely toxic to pets, causing them irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea. So it's important to know what you have around those furry ones.
How many of you felt like you wished you had an emergency stash in 2020 when the world was hit with a pandemic?

This includes your laptop (which will be covered even if it’s stolen at a coffee shop or on vacation—their policy covers personal property anywhere in the world), your jewelry, your art, your furniture and more.
