Enhance Your Outdoor Space with a DIY Fire Pit
Before you get started, check your local government ordinances and home
association for any restrictions on fire pits. Guidelines may include size
restrictions, including a fire-resistant surface area, distance from property
lines and structures, supervision rules, and the types of materials you're
allowed to burn. It's also a good idea to see if your home insurance requires
disclosure of a fire pit.

Connect with Nature Through Your Decor with Biophilic Design
“Biophilia” is defined by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) as the
“innate human instinct to connect with nature and other living beings.” More
simply: it’s a fancy word for nature-lover. The term itself derives from the
Greek words for “life” and “love,” which creates the translation: “love of
life.”

7 Must-Have Household Items You Didn’t Know You Needed
Simply as an ice tray, silicone trays are superior to plastic ones. They are
more flexible, making it easier to pop cubes out, especially if you only need
one. Use the trays to make individual pesto sauce, baby food, or cookie dough
servings.
