COMMUNITY INFO - W3 LIFESTYLE 2

Letter from the Community

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

VISIT OUR PROPERTY PAGE W3 FAN PAGE

Now you live in a W3 Lifestyle designated community congrats

That means that you are living in the best of the best communitiies and you receive the best programs possible

In our monthly minizine we encourage the residents and the staff to contribute a couple of articles whether it be about a fundraiser going on or a community party Donrsquot worry your articles that you send are put into your specific communityrsquos minizine I also encourage for you to share with us that favorite local pizza joint or the best dry cleaners in town They can advertise in your minizine for a very low price and your local companies also tend to give discounts with their ads as well

We also have very special events coming up for each community Our Meet and Greet is always a hit and a great way to get to know your neighbors It features

yummy goodies and refreshing drinks Another favorite (mine personally) is our Sweet amp Stylish event The Sweet amp Stylish Party is fun with lots of delectable sweets such as cupcakes chocolate strudels and some sweet tea or lemonade The Health amp Wellness Expo offers residents a more healthy choice with vegetables and fruits along with vendors who promote staying healthy and strong We also do teeth whitening at the expo for only $49 You leave feeling great about yourself from the Health amp Wellness Expo Another great event we have is the Jazz Under the Stars Kick back with your neighbors to an evening with food and music from the likes of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fritzgerald

Yoursquore W3 Lifestyle DesignatedNow What

If yoursquore like many 20- and early 30-somethings mdash aka Generation

Y mdash money concerns are probably hitting you in a way they havenrsquot before Your paycheck assuming you have one probably doesnrsquot go as far as yoursquod like Even if yoursquore in tip-top shape health insurance can be pricey And fewer companies offer pension plans even as prospects for Social Security remain unclearPerhaps not surprisingly more than half of employees between 21 and 32 say that theyrsquore living paycheck to paycheck according to a recent survey by insurer Metlife Nearly three-fourths of respondents are concerned about making ends meetFortunately you can get off to a sound financial start with these nine tips

1 Respect debtDebt can be devastating if you donrsquot get it under control says Wes Moss a Certified Financial Planner or CFP

and director and chief investment adviser with Capital Investment Advisors in Atlanta It limits your career choices your chances of buying a house and often leads to tension in personal relationshipsMoss acknowledges the dilemma as your 20s and 30s can be expensive decades Yoursquore outfitting a place to live and may need to buy a car and work wardrobe At the same time yoursquore at the low end of your earning potential You need to closely track spending and cut waste to avoid running up credit card balances

2 SaveTo start you need a cash cushion to cover any periods of unemployment as well as unpredictable expenses Then begin saving for retirement as soon as possible says Sarah Young Fisher a CFP and owner of Fisher Advisers in Lancaster PaYoursquoll need to learn to be a savvy investor says

income or if family members would need to hire someone to cover the work you do at home life insurance is a must

6 Consider housing optionsYour living arrangements need to be safe inexpensive enough that you can build your savings and flexible enough that you can move if your career demands itOne option is to head back to your parentsrsquo home for a year or two ldquoIf you can grin and bear it itrsquos a great way to get a financial buffer quicklyrdquo Moss says Of course you need to be disciplined about stashing away the money yoursquore not spending on rentRenting an apartment with roommates helps you stretch your housing budget and learn to live with someone else Thatrsquos good preparation for marriage says Fisher

7 BudgetWhile major outlays are hard to overlook you also need to track smaller ongoing expenses like lunch money and gas for the car These add up and the totals can shock youConsider that a modest dinner out each week at $30 will leave you $1560 poorer by next year If you find number crunching tedious check out online tools that can automate the process

8 Have the money talkSure discussing money with your significant other isnrsquot the most romantic of conversations But itrsquos better to find out now if your future better half is hiding thousands in debt ldquoAsk the questions that might be uncomfortablerdquo says William Bailey associate professor in the School of Human Environmental Sciences at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville

9 Prepare before starting a familyIt sounds crass to consider finances when yoursquore thinking of starting a family but you need to be realistic Cut corners all you can but kids are expensive In addition to the gear yoursquoll need a baby typically means some time away from work Start putting some money away before yoursquore knee-deep in diapers and OnesiesWhile the economy has been hard on almost everyone you have a few things in your favor First you have time for the market to recover Moreover you should be able to halt any bad financial habits before they become ingrainedOf course the economy will change at some point Even so the key to financial security remains the same according to Kamenetz ldquoLive within your means and put something awayrdquo

3 Assess your careerldquoYou are your biggest assetrdquo Moss says Today itrsquos not unusual to earn more than $1 million over a lifetime ldquoThink long and hard about where and how yoursquoll earn an incomerdquo he says While you want a career you enjoy you also want to consider how different paths will impact your financial securityWhen you change jobs roll over to a new retirement account any money you have in retirement savings with your old employer Herersquos why Spend the money and yoursquoll pay penalty and taxes which can top 25 percent

4 Rethink educationIn this economy you need to take a hard-nosed assessment of your education plans If you started college but didnrsquot finish go back Moss says ldquoThe rewards are huge

to finishing schoolrdquoWhat about getting an additional degree While learning more is always great take a pragmatic approach That may mean heading to a vocational school for a certification even if yoursquove earned a four-year degree ldquoItrsquos more practical and cheaper than graduate schoolrdquo says Anya Kamenetz author of ldquoGeneration Debtrdquo and a writer with Fast Company magazine

5 Get insuredYoursquore not invincible Moreover given that one illness or injury can bankrupt you health insurance is a must If you can get it through your employer consider it Itrsquos usually a better deal than options

Anyone who lives in the Atlanta area knows about spring pollen

The ldquoyellow fogrdquo settles in during March and covers roads vehicles porches and lawns But the fall pollen in this area is also quite problematic for many allergy sufferers This is invisible pollen so it is not so easily noticed as is the yellow dust of

ANOTHER POLLEN SEASON STARTS

The often-forgotten

allergy season but not for sufferers

spring This fall may be a dry one which could lead to pollen counts staying elevated for days due to the lack of rain to ldquowash it awayrdquo

Fall pollen comes from weeds which are abundant in the ditches and fields in Northeast Georgia Even if you live in the inner city this pollen will reach you as it blows for miles on the autumn breezes Pollen counts start rising in late August or early September and stay high until the first frost kills the weeds in late October or early November Due to the fine particle size this pollen penetrates nasal mucosal lining and airways It aggravates nasal symptoms as well as asthma For some children and adults eczema (itchy dry skin) can flare

Staying indoors with windows closed will ease symptoms somewhat but this is the time of year when there is finally a break from the oppressing heat of summer and outdoor areas become inviting again Using daily antihistamines and nasal steroids can ease symptoms for many Spraying lots of nasal saline to wash out the

pollen after being outdoors can be helpful

Fall can also bring higher mold counts due to the fallen leaves which stay damp on the undersides Raking leaves and cleaning under bushes will cause increased mold exposure For many mold is a potent allergen causing increased nasal and eye symptoms as well as asthma Weed pollen which has fallen on your lawn

will be stirred up by raking and cutting grass in the fall Use caution with yard work if you already have increased allergy symptoms in the fall

The fall is a beautiful time of year to be enjoyed for cooler temperatures and amazing colors Take some preventive measures if you are an allergy sufferer Use daily medication during September and October see your primary MD or allergist and limit time outdoors if needed

ldquoTake some preventive measures if you are an allergy suffererrdquo

There is no difference if it is autumn or spring for you to come up with fresh ideas for a cozy patio With my advices it is easy to build a relaxing place to stay in Pick my ideas and I will reveal the secrets of patio building There are only a small number of things for you to put attention to while planning your patio No need for special knowledge for you to begin There are basically three things lightning picking

16 W3 LIFESTYLE - COVER

Designing a Nice patio

In a Few Simple

Steps

furniture and heating There are other things may be added to the scheme depending on the functions your patio would have

The fire pit can be a nice place to start with Everybody knows that prehistoric people used to gather around the big fire to eat and worm up Hot flames warm the place and share coziness With small fire pit in the center of your patio it is easy to relax in the dark There is two types of fire pits can be used in the patio Standalone devices can be moved around or even took way from the patio when not in use The build in pits looks bigger and steady because build of bricks or boulders

A couple of advices may come handy when talking about the lightning You can set up a very romantic place without spending a lot of money Perfect illumination can be implemented with a number of modern low-voltage bulbs available in hardware stores Some of those installed around the patio cause the place to have a unique atmosphere Using of low voltage allows them to

be installed in just a few hours and there is no danger of short circuits Just be sure to read the manual

It is a good idea to add shades to the patio in order to be used during the sunny days The purpose of shades - is to limit the quantity of light coming to your sitting area There are really hundreds variants of shades to put in a patio Starting with just basic

ones and ending with exotic Thousands of different types of shades are currently available in online stores Within just half an hour spent in your browser you can order any design you like

Furniture is last but not the least part of the patio concept You and your family will be spending a lot of hours in patio chairs That is why it is so important to do a little research to pick up the right set of outdoor furniture It has to be comfortable to use and its design should match the patio style

You may use aluminum furniture but my advice would be to pick the wicker ones Wicker chairs are made from ecological materials that are way more gratifying to the eye and lighter when

W3LIFESTYLE - COVER 17

ldquoNever order furniture off the internet You

want to try out chairs before purchasingrdquo

moved around Modern wicker chairs are fully water repellent so there is no need to worry about humid protection They are at the same time easy to be cleaned with modern solutions

My other tip would be never to order furniture via Internet You should always try the chairs before buying Go to the nearest hardware store and sit down on a chair for a few minutes to be sure that it is comfortable and your back feels nice in it

Wicker chair cushions bring the final touch to your patio When matched with shade color it makes the whole set look just adorable The main objective for chair cushions is to hold waist in comfortable pose and protect your back There are two types of wicker chair cushions can be purchased flat or puffy Try both and see which you like most Be sure to take measurements of your seats before buying cushions to get the right size

There were just some simple tips on patio planning You may be still not set with the color scheme or have other doubts Here is my last tip find ideas by browsing photo sites where people sharing their ideas Visit any one of them (Google images for example) and look for patio pictures Hundreds

of brilliant patio ideas will come up instantly I hope you will have the patio of your dreams very soon

spring This fall may be a dry one which could lead to pollen counts staying elevated for days due to the lack of rain to ldquowash it awayrdquo

Fall pollen comes from weeds which are abundant in the ditches and fields in Northeast Georgia Even if you live in the inner city this pollen will reach you as it blows for miles on the autumn breezes Pollen counts start rising in late August or early September and stay high until the first frost kills the weeds in late October or early November Due to the fine particle size this pollen penetrates nasal mucosal lining and airways It aggravates nasal symptoms as well as asthma For some children and adults eczema (itchy dry skin) can flare

Staying indoors with windows closed will ease symptoms somewhat but this is the time of year when there is finally a break from the oppressing heat of summer and outdoor areas become inviting again Using daily antihistamines and nasal steroids can ease symptoms for many Spraying lots of nasal saline to wash out the

pollen after being outdoors can be helpful

Fall can also bring higher mold counts due to the fallen leaves which stay damp on the undersides Raking leaves and cleaning under bushes will cause increased mold exposure For many mold is a potent allergen causing increased nasal and eye symptoms as well as asthma Weed pollen which has fallen on your lawn

will be stirred up by raking and cutting grass in the fall Use caution with yard work if you already have increased allergy symptoms in the fall

The fall is a beautiful time of year to be enjoyed for cooler temperatures and amazing colors Take some preventive measures if you are an allergy sufferer Use daily medication during September and October see your primary MD or allergist and limit time outdoors if needed

The fire pit can be a nice place to start with Everybody knows that prehistoric people used to gather around the big fire to eat and worm up Hot flames warm the place and share coziness With small fire pit in the center of your patio it is easy to relax in the dark There is two types of fire pits can be used in the patio Standalone devices can be moved around or even took way from the patio when not in use The build in pits looks bigger and steady because build of bricks or boulders

A couple of advices may come handy when talking about the lightning You can set up a very romantic place without spending a lot of money Perfect illumination can be implemented with a number of modern low-voltage bulbs available in hardware stores Some of those installed around the patio cause the place to have a unique atmosphere Using of low voltage allows them to

be installed in just a few hours and there is no danger of short circuits Just be sure to read the manual

It is a good idea to add shades to the patio in order to be used during the sunny days The purpose of shades - is to limit the quantity of light coming to your sitting area There are really hundreds variants of shades to put in a patio Starting with just basic

ones and ending with exotic Thousands of different types of shades are currently available in online stores Within just half an hour spent in your browser you can order any design you like

Furniture is last but not the least part of the patio concept You and your family will be spending a lot of hours in patio chairs That is why it is so important to do a little research to pick up the right set of outdoor furniture It has to be comfortable to use and its design should match the patio style

You may use aluminum furniture but my advice would be to pick the wicker ones Wicker chairs are made from ecological materials that are way more gratifying to the eye and lighter when

ldquoNever order furniture off the internet You

want to try out chairs before purchasingrdquo

moved around Modern wicker chairs are fully water repellent so there is no need to worry about humid protection They are at the same time easy to be cleaned with modern solutions

My other tip would be never to order furniture via Internet You should always try the chairs before buying Go to the nearest hardware store and sit down on a chair for a few minutes to be sure that it is comfortable and your back feels nice in it

Wicker chair cushions bring the final touch to your patio When matched with shade color it makes the whole set look just adorable The main objective for chair cushions is to hold waist in comfortable pose and protect your back There are two types of wicker chair cushions can be purchased flat or puffy Try both and see which you like most Be sure to take measurements of your seats before buying cushions to get the right size

Yoursquore W3 Lifestyle DesignatedNow What

If yoursquore like many 20- and early 30-somethings mdash aka Generation

Y mdash money concerns are probably hitting you in a way they havenrsquot before Your paycheck assuming you have one probably doesnrsquot go as far as yoursquod like Even if yoursquore in tip-top shape health insurance can be pricey And fewer companies offer pension plans even as prospects for Social Security remain unclearPerhaps not surprisingly more than half of employees between 21 and 32 say that theyrsquore living paycheck to paycheck according to a recent survey by insurer Metlife Nearly three-fourths of respondents are concerned about making ends meetFortunately you can get off to a sound financial start with these nine tips

1 Respect debtDebt can be devastating if you donrsquot get it under control says Wes Moss a Certified Financial Planner or CFP

and director and chief investment adviser with Capital Investment Advisors in Atlanta It limits your career choices your chances of buying a house and often leads to tension in personal relationshipsMoss acknowledges the dilemma as your 20s and 30s can be expensive decades Yoursquore outfitting a place to live and may need to buy a car and work wardrobe At the same time yoursquore at the low end of your earning potential You need to closely track spending and cut waste to avoid running up credit card balances

2 SaveTo start you need a cash cushion to cover any periods of unemployment as well as unpredictable expenses Then begin saving for retirement as soon as possible says Sarah Young Fisher a CFP and owner of Fisher Advisers in Lancaster PaYoursquoll need to learn to be a savvy investor says

income or if family members would need to hire someone to cover the work you do at home life insurance is a must

6 Consider housing optionsYour living arrangements need to be safe inexpensive enough that you can build your savings and flexible enough that you can move if your career demands itOne option is to head back to your parentsrsquo home for a year or two ldquoIf you can grin and bear it itrsquos a great way to get a financial buffer quicklyrdquo Moss says Of course you need to be disciplined about stashing away the money yoursquore not spending on rentRenting an apartment with roommates helps you stretch your housing budget and learn to live with someone else Thatrsquos good preparation for marriage says Fisher

7 BudgetWhile major outlays are hard to overlook you also need to track smaller ongoing expenses like lunch money and gas for the car These add up and the totals can shock youConsider that a modest dinner out each week at $30 will leave you $1560 poorer by next year If you find number crunching tedious check out online tools that can automate the process

8 Have the money talkSure discussing money with your significant other isnrsquot the most romantic of conversations But itrsquos better to find out now if your future better half is hiding thousands in debt ldquoAsk the questions that might be uncomfortablerdquo says William Bailey associate professor in the School of Human Environmental Sciences at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville

9 Prepare before starting a familyIt sounds crass to consider finances when yoursquore thinking of starting a family but you need to be realistic Cut corners all you can but kids are expensive In addition to the gear yoursquoll need a baby typically means some time away from work Start putting some money away before yoursquore knee-deep in diapers and OnesiesWhile the economy has been hard on almost everyone you have a few things in your favor First you have time for the market to recover Moreover you should be able to halt any bad financial habits before they become ingrainedOf course the economy will change at some point Even so the key to financial security remains the same according to Kamenetz ldquoLive within your means and put something awayrdquo

4 Rethink educationIn this economy you need to take a hard-nosed assessment of your education plans If you started college but didnrsquot finish go back Moss says ldquoThe rewards are huge

to finishing schoolrdquoWhat about getting an additional degree While learning more is always great take a pragmatic approach That may mean heading to a vocational school for a certification even if yoursquove earned a four-year degree ldquoItrsquos more practical and cheaper than graduate schoolrdquo says Anya Kamenetz author of ldquoGeneration Debtrdquo and a writer with Fast Company magazine

5 Get insuredYoursquore not invincible Moreover given that one illness or injury can bankrupt you health insurance is a must If you can get it through your employer consider it Itrsquos usually a better deal than options

spring This fall may be a dry one which could lead to pollen counts staying elevated for days due to the lack of rain to ldquowash it awayrdquo

Fall pollen comes from weeds which are abundant in the ditches and fields in Northeast Georgia Even if you live in the inner city this pollen will reach you as it blows for miles on the autumn breezes Pollen counts start rising in late August or early September and stay high until the first frost kills the weeds in late October or early November Due to the fine particle size this pollen penetrates nasal mucosal lining and airways It aggravates nasal symptoms as well as asthma For some children and adults eczema (itchy dry skin) can flare

Staying indoors with windows closed will ease symptoms somewhat but this is the time of year when there is finally a break from the oppressing heat of summer and outdoor areas become inviting again Using daily antihistamines and nasal steroids can ease symptoms for many Spraying lots of nasal saline to wash out the

pollen after being outdoors can be helpful

Fall can also bring higher mold counts due to the fallen leaves which stay damp on the undersides Raking leaves and cleaning under bushes will cause increased mold exposure For many mold is a potent allergen causing increased nasal and eye symptoms as well as asthma Weed pollen which has fallen on your lawn

will be stirred up by raking and cutting grass in the fall Use caution with yard work if you already have increased allergy symptoms in the fall

The fall is a beautiful time of year to be enjoyed for cooler temperatures and amazing colors Take some preventive measures if you are an allergy sufferer Use daily medication during September and October see your primary MD or allergist and limit time outdoors if needed

Steps

The fire pit can be a nice place to start with Everybody knows that prehistoric people used to gather around the big fire to eat and worm up Hot flames warm the place and share coziness With small fire pit in the center of your patio it is easy to relax in the dark There is two types of fire pits can be used in the patio Standalone devices can be moved around or even took way from the patio when not in use The build in pits looks bigger and steady because build of bricks or boulders

A couple of advices may come handy when talking about the lightning You can set up a very romantic place without spending a lot of money Perfect illumination can be implemented with a number of modern low-voltage bulbs available in hardware stores Some of those installed around the patio cause the place to have a unique atmosphere Using of low voltage allows them to

be installed in just a few hours and there is no danger of short circuits Just be sure to read the manual

It is a good idea to add shades to the patio in order to be used during the sunny days The purpose of shades - is to limit the quantity of light coming to your sitting area There are really hundreds variants of shades to put in a patio Starting with just basic

My other tip would be never to order furniture via Internet You should always try the chairs before buying Go to the nearest hardware store and sit down on a chair for a few minutes to be sure that it is comfortable and your back feels nice in it

Wicker chair cushions bring the final touch to your patio When matched with shade color it makes the whole set look just adorable The main objective for chair cushions is to hold waist in comfortable pose and protect your back There are two types of wicker chair cushions can be purchased flat or puffy Try both and see which you like most Be sure to take measurements of your seats before buying cushions to get the right size

spring This fall may be a dry one which could lead to pollen counts staying elevated for days due to the lack of rain to ldquowash it awayrdquo

Fall pollen comes from weeds which are abundant in the ditches and fields in Northeast Georgia Even if you live in the inner city this pollen will reach you as it blows for miles on the autumn breezes Pollen counts start rising in late August or early September and stay high until the first frost kills the weeds in late October or early November Due to the fine particle size this pollen penetrates nasal mucosal lining and airways It aggravates nasal symptoms as well as asthma For some children and adults eczema (itchy dry skin) can flare

Staying indoors with windows closed will ease symptoms somewhat but this is the time of year when there is finally a break from the oppressing heat of summer and outdoor areas become inviting again Using daily antihistamines and nasal steroids can ease symptoms for many Spraying lots of nasal saline to wash out the

pollen after being outdoors can be helpful

Fall can also bring higher mold counts due to the fallen leaves which stay damp on the undersides Raking leaves and cleaning under bushes will cause increased mold exposure For many mold is a potent allergen causing increased nasal and eye symptoms as well as asthma Weed pollen which has fallen on your lawn

will be stirred up by raking and cutting grass in the fall Use caution with yard work if you already have increased allergy symptoms in the fall

The fall is a beautiful time of year to be enjoyed for cooler temperatures and amazing colors Take some preventive measures if you are an allergy sufferer Use daily medication during September and October see your primary MD or allergist and limit time outdoors if needed

Anyone who lives in the Atlanta area knows about spring pollen

The ldquoyellow fogrdquo settles in during March and covers roads vehicles porches and lawns But the fall pollen in this area is also quite problematic for many allergy sufferers This is invisible pollen so it is not so easily noticed as is the yellow dust of

spring This fall may be a dry one which could lead to pollen counts staying elevated for days due to the lack of rain to ldquowash it awayrdquo

Fall pollen comes from weeds which are abundant in the ditches and fields in Northeast Georgia Even if you live in the inner city this pollen will reach you as it blows for miles on the autumn breezes Pollen counts start rising in late August or early September and stay high until the first frost kills the weeds in late October or early November Due to the fine particle size this pollen penetrates nasal mucosal lining and airways It aggravates nasal symptoms as well as asthma For some children and adults eczema (itchy dry skin) can flare

Staying indoors with windows closed will ease symptoms somewhat but this is the time of year when there is finally a break from the oppressing heat of summer and outdoor areas become inviting again Using daily antihistamines and nasal steroids can ease symptoms for many Spraying lots of nasal saline to wash out the

pollen after being outdoors can be helpful

Fall can also bring higher mold counts due to the fallen leaves which stay damp on the undersides Raking leaves and cleaning under bushes will cause increased mold exposure For many mold is a potent allergen causing increased nasal and eye symptoms as well as asthma Weed pollen which has fallen on your lawn

will be stirred up by raking and cutting grass in the fall Use caution with yard work if you already have increased allergy symptoms in the fall

The fall is a beautiful time of year to be enjoyed for cooler temperatures and amazing colors Take some preventive measures if you are an allergy sufferer Use daily medication during September and October see your primary MD or allergist and limit time outdoors if needed

spring This fall may be a dry one which could lead to pollen counts staying elevated for days due to the lack of rain to ldquowash it awayrdquo

Fall pollen comes from weeds which are abundant in the ditches and fields in Northeast Georgia Even if you live in the inner city this pollen will reach you as it blows for miles on the autumn breezes Pollen counts start rising in late August or early September and stay high until the first frost kills the weeds in late October or early November Due to the fine particle size this pollen penetrates nasal mucosal lining and airways It aggravates nasal symptoms as well as asthma For some children and adults eczema (itchy dry skin) can flare

Staying indoors with windows closed will ease symptoms somewhat but this is the time of year when there is finally a break from the oppressing heat of summer and outdoor areas become inviting again Using daily antihistamines and nasal steroids can ease symptoms for many Spraying lots of nasal saline to wash out the

pollen after being outdoors can be helpful

Fall can also bring higher mold counts due to the fallen leaves which stay damp on the undersides Raking leaves and cleaning under bushes will cause increased mold exposure For many mold is a potent allergen causing increased nasal and eye symptoms as well as asthma Weed pollen which has fallen on your lawn

will be stirred up by raking and cutting grass in the fall Use caution with yard work if you already have increased allergy symptoms in the fall

The fall is a beautiful time of year to be enjoyed for cooler temperatures and amazing colors Take some preventive measures if you are an allergy sufferer Use daily medication during September and October see your primary MD or allergist and limit time outdoors if needed
