Each year, everyone becomes Irish for a day! Leprechaun madness, green and gold, and Irish pubs are all part of the biggest social celebration of the year, St. Patrick’s Day. This day wouldn’t be complete without the consumption of alcohol but if you want to ditch the beer and crowd this year, check out our alternatives for this popular Irish holiday.

Wear Green

Don’t forget and you won’t get pinched. It’s that simple! Oh, and no one believes that you’re wearing green underwear so make sure your green gear is where everyone can see!

My roommates and I were looking for a place to rent but by the time our lease ended, we had toured many places but didn’t agree on one. We had the choice of either going month to month with our current Phoenix Apartment or settling on a place just because we ran out of time. Through the kindness of our friends, they took us into their home until we could find a place we all liked. After living at their place for a month, we learned quite a bit about being good houseguests. Let me share our knowledge:

Make a Gesture

If you can afford to, mention that you’ll throw in for rent while you’re there.

Help Out

Before every meal, offer your services. Offer to prep some of the food, help set the table or get drinks for others. Afterwards, when you’re all finished eating, don’t offer to help clear the table; just do it. Then, offer to help with the dishes. Don’t forget to help take out the trash as well.

February 5^th is an important day for football fans. It’s the game play that sports fans have been waiting for all season long. SuperBowl XLVI will host the New York Giants and New England Patriots in Indianapolis at Lucas Bowl Oil at 6:30 ET on NBC. Who will win SuperBowl XLVI is the question on everyone’s mind but what you should be asking even before that is: Who’s hosting the SuperBowl party?

If the answer is you then best of luck! From cleaning your Phoenix Apartment to preparing the meals, the SuperBowl can seem like a lot of work for just one day but we all know it’s something worth doing in the end. That’s why we’ve come up of a list of Superbowl recipes so you won’t need luck, just these recipes!

The month of January is ending and I’m curious to know how many of you in our Phoenix Apartments are still on track with your new years resolutions. Anyone?

I ask because I’ve never been able to commit to a year long resolution. NEVER. I get stoked during the last week of December at the idea of a new years resolution and really get on it the first week of January, but then it just goes away. Just like that. I applaud those of you who are able to stick through it. You’re an inspiration!

For others though, it can be scary to commit a year of yourself to something; especially when it’s easy to say you’ll start the next month or the month after that. Before you know it, it’s December all over again and you’re disappointed you pushed it back this far without realizing it.

The holidays are a special and joyous time of year. It’s also a time when individuals need to be on alert to the possibility of crime. The hustle and bustle of the holiday season can easily create a distraction for people. During this festive time, pay special attention to the things going on around you. There are a few important actions that can be taken to avoid being victimized by criminals during the holiday season.

• Be aware that sometimes criminals will pose as couriers delivering gifts to case your home or to commit a crime immediately.
• Be aware of scams that criminals commit to take advantage of people’s generosity during the holidays. Continue reading
