THE CLEANER HOME: Make Your Home Environmentally Green!
The old days of harsh bleach and chemicals used to clean around the house are slowly fading out.  Along with this trend is a desire of many consumers to adopt more environmentally friendly products for their home.  This can be anything from the new countertops and floors to the groceries bought at the local supermarket.  In addition to what you bring in (and take out) of your home, the maintenance of your home can be a way to become more green.  According to the energysavers.gov website, "Americans spend more than $160 billion a year to heat, cool, light, and "live" in their homes.  Everyone may not try every option or may find their budget does not allow for all of the products available.  However, a few home improvements and informed purchases can not only save you money in the long run, but these changes can also provide a healthier home for your family and the planet.

SPOOKY VACATIONS: Haunted Hotels, Inns, Castles, and More! 
Today thrill seekers can go skydiving, cliff jumping, white water rafting or paragliding, just to name a few.  Looking for a little adventure in your blood but it's too wet outside to play?  Why not snuggle indoors and thrill your imagination with a haunted vacation?  Many hotels, inns, and even castles offer spooky weekend getaways.  Perhaps a friendly ghost will fold your clothes and lay them out on the bed; a mischievous one might turn on the lights and radio at 2AM; or perhaps one with a chip on his shoulder might give you a little bump to remind you he's there.  You might find it a good laugh or a little fun to shake up the winter humdrums.  Below we have compiled a short list of some haunted places to stay.  We have tried to collect from across the US and added in a few international destinations just in case you want a ghost with an accent!  Enjoy and have some fun!
