When you put your home on the market, your goal is to sell it quickly and for top dollar.  Properly staging your home from day one will create a memorable first impression and generate that all important buzz.

Staging isn't so much an expense as it is an investment.  Not only will you increase your home's value but it's also likely to sell much faster which is important because homes that sit on the market can quickly lose their value.

Staging your home may seem like an overwhelming endeavor but it's actually much easier than you would expect.  Staging is a straightforward process that starts with a clean, de-cluttered and de-personalised home.  Buying a home's an emotional decision and buyers have to be able to envision themselves living in your home which is why photographs, trophies and kids' artwork have to go.

A stager also ensures your home is inviting to buyers by enhancing the functionality and flow of rooms.  They can remove and store furniture so the house looks as spacious as possible and use lighting and other tricks to warm up the feel of your home.  A properly staged home will also look amazing to the wide range of buyers who search online which in turn will generate more showings.

If you want to stage your home yourself, you'll have to go beyond simple paint and fix it jobs.  Buyers have a tough time visualizing themselves in unfurnished rooms so turn your craft room back into a bedroom or transform a cozy nook into a reading spot by setting out a comfy chair and lamp.  Don't forget to also stage cupboards and closets as storage space is very important to buyers.

You only get one chance to make a first impression and a staged home is much more likely to capture the hearts of purchasers.  Whether you pay a professional to stage your home or do the work yourself, staging is a worthwhile investment that will massively increase the odds of your home selling quickly and for top dollar!

If all you’re dreaming of is a good night’s sleep, you’re not alone.  Lack of sleep can take a massive toll on our mental and physical health.  The following tips will help increase your much needed shut-eye:

  1. Keep it Regular - Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.  If you get poor sleep one night, don’t have a nap as it will affect your internal clock.

  2. It's a No-Glo - Hide all light no matter how faint.  Turn your alarm clock around as clock watching is a sure way to psyche yourself out of sleep.

  3. Chill Out & Warm Up - Keep the bedroom temperature cool and wear socks to bed to help your body evenly transfer heat to the extremities.

  4. Day Light, Day Bright - Take in all the daylight you can as it changes the melatonin levels in your body which causes you to sleep better when darkness falls.

  5. Stay Fit - Exercising early in the day can help you sleep better but avoid it late at night.  Ease muscle tension with some light, relaxing stretches before hitting the sack.

  6. No Worries - Write a to-do list before going to bed in order to flush out your thoughts and worries.  Keep a pen and paper beside your bed just in case your mind starts racing.

Lack of sleep can contribute to major physical and emotional health problems so it's important to consistently practice positive sleep habits.  The suggestions above will help you peacefully drift off to sleep each night so you'll be much more energetic and productive throughout the day.  Sweet dreams!

Are you still searching for last minute gifts for those hard to please people in your life?  If so, here are a few tech toys that are sure to do the trick:

  1. Old Skool - Retro cellphone handsets make talk time a lot more comfortable and stylish!  They also reduce the risk of radiation.

  2. Top Tablets - Popular tablets such as the iPad mini will be on many people's wish lists.  There are also a wide variety of kids' tablets that help make learning fun.

  3. Hot Off the Grid - A solar charger is a must for those who are regularly off the grid.  When their phone runs out of juice, they'll feel good about their green charging choice.

If you're lucky enough to receive one of the hottest new smartphones this season, make sure you donate your old cell phone to charity as it'll benefit a great cause as well as the environment.  Happy Holidays!
