Traveling for Labor Day weekend? The holidays is one of the most important time for travelers because they need to be most alert and prepared for anything!

In case you’re traveling, here are some things to keep in mind that will help you get to your destination safely:

• Don’t drink and drive!!!
• Always wear your safety belt.
• Make sure that you carry an earpiece with you to use your phone.  If you don’t have one, use your speaker phone, that way both hands will be available to operate your vehicle and you’ll be more aware of what’s going on around you.
• Do not text while driving.
• Get plenty of sleep before you tackle a long drive.
• Have your vehicle inspected before time and allow plenty of time for traveling.

What will you o to ensure that you get to your Labor Day destination safely?

Have a good one!

September is only a day away…. so let the festivities begin!!!  On September 1st, the  Glitch Mob will be performing at the Marty Party at the Masquerade in Atlanta.

The Glitch Mob has performed at many festivities around town, and the country at that! Their unique sound has gotten them well recognized with their dynamic performances!

I hope that they perform “Beyond Monday” and “Beyond Right;” those are my two favorites.

If you’re into rock and hip/hop music, they’re style is sort of a collabo between the two.

Bring some friends from Lavista Crossing and enjoy yourself!!!

Isn’t it ironic that the one room in your house that keeps your the cleanest can sometimes be the messiest?   Have no fear, some great tips are here!  There’s plenty of quick and easy tips on Realsimple.com you can use to keep your bathroom at La Vista Crossing looking its best:

• A lint roller is not just for clothes.  In fact, use the sticky ones to get rid of the hair on your tub mat. You can also use this technique on the bathroom floor, too!
• Find a cute basket to place on the back of your toilet to store small items like perfume, cosmetics, hair brushes, etc.
• Keep a cleaning towel/ sponge underneath the sink to use to wipe off the counter after you’re done.

While these were just a few tips, Realsimple.com has a ton of them!
