5 Easy Ways to Spruce Up Your Home This Summer

We may be halfway through summer, but it’s not yet too late to celebrate the sunniest season! Spruce up your home for the summer with these simple tips.

Use Summer-Inspired Linens

Here’s an easy way to give your home a summery feel: Use linens with bright colors or summery prints. Nautical bedsheets, brightly colored pillowcases, and a beach-inspired duvet lend a relaxing vibe to your home.

Add Outdoor Lights To Your Garden

This summer, take the chance to spend as much time outdoors as you can. Adding dainty string lights to your patio will give your summer parties a charming, inviting feel. Outdoor lamps, meanwhile, will add a lovely feel to your garden.

Invest In a Summery Scent

Another easy way to prep your abode for the summer is by changing your home’s scent. Get a candle with a beachy, tropical scent for your living room, or a reed diffuser with a light, zesty fragrance for your bedroom.

Brighten Up Your Home With Summery Blooms

You can always count on a bit of greenery to liven up your interiors. Get some colorful petunias, zinnias, marigolds, sunflowers, or California poppies, and arrange them in vases around your home. You can also try planting hydrangeas, peonies, or daisies in your garden to give it a vibrant touch.

Set Up A Casual Sitting Area

The lazy days of summer are for lounging about at home, bonding with loved ones and relaxing. Designate a corner of your home for relaxation, and decorate it with a colorful woven rug, comfortable cushions, and a low table. You’d want to lounge there all day long!

Don’t forget to take photos of all your summer memories! Display them on a Nixplay Frame and have your summer memories on display all day long.

Your Valentine’s Day 2019 Checklist

Valentine’s Day is almost upon us! Are you all set for the big V-Day? Granted, it can be extremely overwhelming—there are so many things to do, and just a few days to go.

Fear not: We’re here to get you revved up for romance. In fact, we made you a checklist to get you on track for Valentine’s Day. Read on and take note of what you should prepare for February 14!

__ Buy flowers.

Even if you’re defiantly anti-romance, you have to admit: Valentine’s Day wouldn’t be complete without some lush blooms! Make sure you know your lady love’s favorite blossoms, and place an order for a bouquet a few days ahead. You better hurry, as flower shops tend to get overwhelmed with orders for the 14th.
If you’re a happy singleton: It wouldn’t hurt to have some flowers delivered to yourself, right? 😉 go on and get yourself a nice bouquet—you deserve it.

__ Secure dinner reservations.

As cliche as it may sound, wining and dining is a crucial part of Valentine’s Day. Make sure to choose the restaurant wisely: It doesn’t have to be at a Michelin-starred restaurant, though if this is what you fancy, then do go all out! The important thing is that the place you dine at holds significance to you and your significant other.
If you’re a happy singleton: Dining out alone or even with friends on Valentine’s Day—when it seems like everyone’s out on a date—can suck. The solution? Make a reservation for another day. You can go out on the 15th, or even the weekend after.

__ Get a date.

Of course, what’s a Valentine’s Day celebration without someone to spend it with? That’s what the day is all about, after all: A day you ought to celebrate with the person (or people) you love most. So make sure the love of your life knows quite clearly that you want to spend the day with them!
If you’re a happy singleton: Well, it’s not yet too late to look for a date! Download a dating app and start swiping, or sign up for a speed dating event. Maybe you might find The One—or at the very least, you’ll meet interesting new people! And if your friends offer to set you up with someone interesting, say yes! There’s no harm in expanding your horizons and going out of your comfort zone, relationship-wise.

__ Take pictures!

Now that you’ve got all the ingredients of a perfect Valentine’s Day celebration, don’t forget the most crucial thing: Photos of your day! You’re making so many memories on the 14th—you might as well document every precious milestone by snapping away. Display your photos on your Nixplay Frame, and take advantage of Nixplay’s Valentine’s Day sale to get up to 25 percent off the Nixplay Iris, only until February 14!
