Year End Champagne Drink
Colorful Salute to the New YearCranberry Champagne CocktailHeres a great adaption of the traditional glass of champagne to bring in the New Year. Not only tasty, it's a colorful departure from tradition. Tyler Florence - Food Network 1 -ounce cranberry juice (sweetened)1 wedge limeChampagne or sparkling wineCranberries (frozen)In a chilled Champagne flute add cranberry juice and a squeeze of lime. Top off the glass with Champagne. Garnish with 3 or 4 cranberries. This is one of my favorite ways to convert Champagne into a delightful holiday drink. It adds just a tad of sweetness and color. Feel free to adapt this. Substitute a cube of sugar instead of the cranberries. No lime wedge? Use an orange slice. It's your party. You make the rules!If you need something to store a few bottles of wine or maybe Champagne, check with the professionals at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center.

Save on Brizo Kitchen and Bath Fixtures at UAKC
Styling with New Brizo Fixtures Who Cares about Fixtures with Style Once in a while I'll hear something like, "I don't really care much about the style of my fixtures.

Well-Equipped Robern Medicine Cabinets
Robern M Series Bathroom Cabinets Architizer 2015 Award Winner It was no surprise to find out that the Robern M Series cabinets received the Architizer 2015 A+ Grand Prize in the Bath - Cabinetry category. The M Series was selected by a jury of more than 300 architecture and interior design industry professionals. Here's how Robern describes this product line: Robern’s premier line of modular medicine cabinets, M Series combines style and functionality with integrated lighting, magnetic storage, built-in electrical and USB outlets and mirror defoggers. While we've written about Robern here before (Robern Vanities), the M Series is deserving of special note. The stylish design is accompanied by the functionality of Robern's integrated lighting. Personally, I love the magnet to hold nail clippers or other magnetic tools. And who wouldn't want electrical outlets, and a USB charger for their iPhone? Robern even offers an optional electronic mirror defogger. But, the ultimate mirror comes complete with a TV screen built right into the lower corner. Keep up with the news while you're getting ready in the morning. It seems that the folks from Robern haven't left anything out. They've even included an integrated and programmable night light. Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center has a complete selection of Robern bath cabinets, vanities, lighting, and accessories.

Saving Water in Your Home
Water Saving Tips Mark Twain is usually credited with saying, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." Today, we might say the same thing about the drought. There's lots of talk about saving water, but as individuals we could be doing a lot more. Here is some data from the EPA about our water usage Each American uses an average of 100 gallons of water a day at home. We can all use 30 percent less water by installing water-efficient fixtures and appliances. The average household spends as much as $500 per year on their water and sewer bill and can save about $170 per year by installing water-efficient fixtures and appliances. Here are a few things you and I could do today to save water today inside our homes. Easy Ways to Save Water at Home Install low-flow water faucetsThe average person loses 10 gallons each day to household leaks (14% of indoor water usage). Installing new low-flow aerators is the best single thing that can be done to save water inside the house, and it requires no behavior change. At a minimum, we should at least repair leaky faucets and toilets. Take showers rather than bathsFilling a bathtub will take 20 gallons of water or more, but taking a 5 minute shower using a low-flow shower head will use about half the water of the bath. Don't leave the water runningWhen standing at the sink engaged in grooming, shaving, washing hands,or brushing teeth turn -
