An apartment community cannot ldquobuyrdquo their status as a W3 Lifestyle designated community As a W3 Lifestyle community they have been identified as being the Best of The Best by providing Superior Resident Services and Superior Product Quality for apartment dwellers

As a W3 Lifestyle designated community they receive a variety of services from us to support their commitment in being the absolute Best of The Best For example a customized community newsletter which is called the Minizine due to its Magazine quality design and size consistent monthly resident events resident appreciation programs and so much more This allows W3 Lifestyle communities to save thousands of dollars which then can be committed to other areas of the community to enhance resident services and general community appeal

If a community does not hold the W3 Lifestyle designation then it simply is not the Best of The Best under our terms and expectationsor at least they will not ldquocommitrdquo to consistently being the Best of The Best Either way if we were you - it is a W3 Lifestyle designated community that has committed to providing YOU with the absolutely best place to liveand therefore is the only thing to be looking for in your next apartment home Many ldquosayrdquo they are the best but ONLY the communities that truly ldquomeanrdquo it have committed to it with receiving our W3 Lifestyle designation

what it means to be

W3 Lifestyle began with one goal in mind - give apartment renters a place to go to find the absolute

best in the apartment industry No more ldquohopingrdquo you find the best or trying to ldquoguessrdquo who is the best based on those huge publications

If a community holds the W3 Lifestyle designation they have proven to be the Best of The Best and committed to superior service superior product quality superior living environments and the overall best place you could possibly live Much like other designations such as ldquoGood Housekeepingrdquo ldquoEnergy Starrdquo etc the W3 Lifestyle designation is one of top quality

Obtaining the W3 Lifestyle designation is not something that can be bought Only communities that have been invited can brag about being a W3 Lifestyle community

So who are we Our company was founded by someone that came from the Property Management industry Frustrated with the fact that there was no good place for

apartment renters to go to in order to find the best apartment communities - the W3 Lifestyle concept was born Our team is comprised of creative individuals who are always looking for new resident programs to enhance their lifestyles

What does it mean to be a W3 Lifestyle community It means not only having a physical amenity package but also having

a lifestyle amenity package We support our communities by offering customized monthly Newsletters to our W3 Lifestyle communities as well as consistent Community Events We also provide a full package of other programs such as

our Resident Appreciation program the customized Community Social Networks our Resident Touch program and so much more

So here is a question - with the above programs and services being offered to our W3 Lifestyle communities free of charge - why would any community NOT be a W3 Lifestyle community They either were not invited or were invited but did not want to commit to our standards That said where would you want to live If it is not a W3 Lifestyle community it simply isnrsquot worth living at

With a roller coaster economy high job unemployment and

increasing federal debt this is the time to take stock and ask yourself some important financial questions to make sure you keep your financial house in order Here are 5 important questions to ask yourself now

1 Do I have an exit strategy with my investments If the stock market has another free fall or your company stock takes a dive how will you put some sort of cushion to secure those assets which have grown over

the past year You should be asking yourself questions such as how far your money may go down before you exit the stock market or how much it needs to make before you might take some profit off the table Learn from the ups and downs you saw in the early 2000rsquos and in 20072008

2 Do I have enough of a cash reserve With job market uncertainty you want to make sure you beef up your cash reserve for at least three months more

than you would normally have If you are used to having 3 months in a cash

5 Financial Questions to Ask Yourself Right Now

ldquo I would recommend doubling your cash

reserverdquo

4 W3 LIFESTYLE - oXYGen Financial

reserve than I would recommend doubling it to 6 months to be more safe

3 Do I have a spending plan or budget in place If your income begins to expand again over the next couple of years I think it is critical that you keep your spending plan in check Make sure to save at least 10 of your income with the real target being 20 of your total income By really examining your budget now you can determine your wants versus your needs It is certainly a good idea to reward yourself from time to time but staying away from any unnecessary major purchases that are not in your budget will be a key to building wealth during the next up economic cycle

4 Are my insurance coveragersquos in place Even though the health care bill passed recently it is important to review your insurance coveragersquos from what you have at work to the personal insurance you currently carry If you lose your job or decide to leave many coveragersquos such as disability insurance go unnoticed until it is too late

5 Are my beneficiary designations

up to date With many people entering into second and third marriages with both spouses perhaps having kids from prior marriages it is important to make sure you review your beneficiary designations I often find that people donrsquot review these until it is too late

As more and more people get their financial homes in order asking yourself these five questions can help you run your family finances

how many people never do this Yet itrsquos the first thing people want to know about you Most people check all the boxes (Irsquom a Virgo in a relationshiphellip done) but donrsquot do much with the real ldquomeatrdquo of their profile the About Me section Put some thought into what you want people to know about you and why people should care

Donrsquot follow the leader It can be tempting to sit back and wait for people to contact you for people to leave comments for people to suggest installing some new application mdash rousing yourself only to respond to whatever prompts come your way Take the initiative and add people select a handful of apps you like and stick with them and update on a semi-regular basis (or a regular basis schedule 30 minutes a week to update your profile if itrsquos an important part of your public image)

Accept everyone There are two schools of thought on this create an inner circle of close colleagues comrades or companions or create a huge body of followers fans or ex-girl- and boyfriends I fall into the second camp mdash anyone who has taken the effort to ldquofriendrdquo me gets added Those are the people who are willing to invest their attention in what yoursquore doing who have given you permission to ldquobroadcastrdquo your life to them Welcome them

Add everyone you know no matter how little Most services these days will scan your address book and tell you if therersquos anyone you might already know onboard Some will also recommend people a on people you already know places yoursquove worked or interests yoursquove highlighted

Which of these do you use A couple or all Which do you prefer

Those trying to manage their weight may have heard how drinking water benefits

the metabolism However dieters who find drinking water unbearable perhaps because of taste scheduling or personal preference may need added incentive Are there other benefits to drinking water The answer is a resounding yes For non-water drinkers fed up with hearing they need to drink eight glasses of water per day the good news is that some foods have significant high water content and some beverages not purely water count too

Why is Water Drinking ImportantThe only element more important for sustaining life than water is air The wonders of water are numerous for example providing liquid solvency for internal chemical reactions circulating nutrients around the body regulating body temperature and joint lubrication Inadequate water intake can result in dehydration which may lead to abnormalities in metabolism and other functions such as gastro-intestinal circulation Chronic or severe dehydration can affect the bodyrsquos vital functions

When taking medications it is especially important to maintain or increase water drinking along with such nutrients as potassium and sodium Some drugs such as antidepressants and corticosteroids affect the balance of fluid and minerals in

the bodyrsquos cells if you are taking such medications be sure to discuss with your doctor

How Much Water to DrinkThe Food and Nutrition Board Institute of Medicine has established dietary reference intakes for water and other nutrients Their latest report ldquodid not specify exact requirements for water but set general recommendations for women at approximately 27 liters (91 ounces) of total water -- from all beverages and foods -- each day and men an average of approximately 37 liters (125 ounces daily) of total waterrdquo

Those who donrsquot like water are probably thinking ldquoBut 91 oz is over 11 cups of waterrdquo Note that about 20 of total water intake comes from food so the liquid recommendation would be reduced to 74 oz for women and 101 oz for men Still seems overwhelming Herersquos the good news The Food and Nutrition Board includes caffeinated beverages in the recommended water intake According to Staci Nixrsquo 2009 Edition of ldquoWilliamsrsquo Basic Nutrition amp Diet Therapyrdquo ldquothough coffee has typically been considered a diuretic recent studies evaluating hydration status in individuals consuming caffeinated and noncaffeinated beverages did not differ indicating that caffeine did not negatively affect total water balance when consumed in moderationrdquo Most experts seem to agree that about three cups of coffee per day would be considered moderate

New TV Lineup

Our own local bridal boutique Bridals By Lori will be coming to TLC on

August 6th with ldquoYes to the Dress Atlantardquo Irsquom definantly

looking foward to this show because I recently

went to the store with my roommate whorsquos engaged The experience was great

however they put her into a dress above her price point

that she fell in love with so Irsquom eager to see what

shenanigans they will pull on the show They also seem

a little more sassy than the original ldquoSay Yes to the

Dressrdquo in New York

I have a new obsession Urban Outiffitters Since I first stepped

into the store earlier this year I have been visiting their website online and checking out the new deals Lucky for me they happen to have deals daily

Urban Outfitters upon arrival is filled with clothes books trinkets and music Itrsquos a hipsterrsquos thrift store boutique The style is modern vintage wrapped with boho chic Urban Outfitters has men and women clothing shoes bagswallets and accersories However their store doesnrsquot end at clothing they also have really cool and fun apartment stuff The Antoinette Fainting Chair is my newest crush

Urban Outfitters is also reasonably priced especially compared to their

sister store Anthropologie Here you can actually afford to buy what you see versus just lust after a piece of furniture or a new cardigan

They impressed me recently by mailing my new bedding in 3 days That was standard shipping Irsquom not saying that it happens everytime but I was really excited to get it in 3 days versus the standard 5 to 7 days My roommate also experienced the same results when she ordered a bathing suit and it came before she went out of town The quality of their products is also great

So my next adventure in shopping to purchase that Antoinette Fainting Chair It will go perfect with the amazing bedding I bought from Urban Outfitters
