When decorating or redecorating a room, many people tend to go with functional furniture, both trendy and modern. Functional can have many means, and for many that can man extra storage or even a pullout bed. You might not think it, but sleeper sofas and futons are coming back in style. Families are tightening their budgets & downsizing their homes. For those that tend to have a lot of guests, they may suddenly find themselves without a guest bedroom. For anyone needing an extra bed of any kind, a sleeper sofa might be right up your alley. You can easily find an entire living room set that includes one. With the Atlantic Sleeper Set (pictured to the right), you get a sleeper sofa, a loveseat that converts into a sleeper with storage, and a chair the folds back & has storage.

Tips for Protecting Your Skin from the Sun
Summers seem to get getting longer and hotter these days. Once the temperatures warm up, people are outside in the pool, at the beach, camping and doing other outdoor activities. Being outside is great, but what people don’t realize is that the sun has been steadily getting stronger over the years. Typically, the sun is strongest from 10 am to 4 pm, especially in the summer months from May to August. You even have to be careful in winter as well since snow can reflect 85% to 90% of the sun rays. This means that it is more important than ever to protect your skin so that you don’t develop skin cancer later in life. The easiest and quickest way to protect your skin in the sun is to wear sunscreen. Sunscreen has improved over the years and it protects a lot better than what it has in the past. Dermatologists say that you need to cover every bit of skin not covered by clothing, including the backs of your hands. You should put it on 15 minutes before you go out and reapply it ...

Getting married is one of the biggest and most important events in your life. There is a ton of planning involved between figuring out guest lists, colors, location and more. The most important part is the wedding dress. The gown is what ties in the decorations & colors, and what makes the bride the center of attention. There are two important aspects of a dress that will impact your search: the style and price. The easiest place to start is the style. There are five and they will. The most popular is the A-Line/Princess. It balances out top heavy shapes and hides some tummy bulge, and is very flattering to most body types.
