5 Ways To Clean The Halls Before You Deck The Halls

Can you believe it's that time again? The holiday season - the time of the year that brings on many emotions including joy, anticipation, sadness and even loneliness. There are even times that we're just plain tired and don't want to do anything even though we may have tons of things around the house that need to be done.

R U Looking? always suggest that you make your home a peaceful place that you want to come home to and this is especially true during this time of year so that you can relax after a long day at work or even at the mall.

R U Looking? recommends that this is the perfect time of the year to do your fall cleaning. This will include some underneath cleaning, but if you did some detailed cleaning earlier in the year you won't have to do as much before you deck the halls. Below are 5 tips to help you get the job done:

1. Check your cleaning schedule to determine what was done in the spring and decide what needs to be done now. Many times we hate to ask for help because we don't want people to know what we are going through or how we're living. Don't be afraid to ask a friend or someone that you know is organized and does certain tasks in their home for help.
2. Take this opportunity to be a blessing to someone by giving them any usable household items or clothing that you haven't used in a while and discard or donate the rest.
3. When sorting decorations, check all your closets and/or storage areas and discard any broken items or decorations that you no longer plan to use.
4. Do your monthly check-ups as needed and check those closed off areas. 
5. Decorate your "halls" to your liking and enjoy the holidays!

Before you deck the halls this holiday season ask yourself - R U Looking? Are You Seeing What's Really There? R U Looking? has tried and true tips that, if followed, will leave you with a cleaner home. Books are on sale now and they make the perfect stocking stuffer. Get your copy today!

Spring Has Sprung: Time to Deep Clean

As the season changes and the days become longer, we tend to open the windows in our homes and let the sunshine come in. As we enter into March, we want to remind any of you who made resolutions to de-clutter this year to get back on track. This time of year is a great time to begin spring cleaning.

Major “underneath” cleaning should be done twice per year and spring is usually the first time of the year that we roll up our sleeves to do it. Some things on the “to do” list can range from washing and painting baseboards, stripping floors and applying a new coat of wax to moving and cleaning underneath appliances and large furniture.

In our book, R U Looking? you will find a list of other things to consider when spring cleaning. The list is not exhaustive and you may not have to do everthing that we suggest. As you go through the list however, you will learn to see what's really in your home and you can identify any problem areas and begin to transform the look of your home from floor to ceiling!

Get the Weight Off and Love Again

February is sometimes called the LOVE month. It's here and in full swing and love should be in the air! But maybe love is not on your mind because you're feeling helpless and the issues of life are weighing you down. The motivation of your new year's resolution is fleeing and you don't feel like doing anything at all – especially cleaning your home.

Hebrews 12:1 says “let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” We have to do just that. There are some things in life that we simply cannot control and we have to stop worrying about those things. We literally have to lay them aside because they are out of our hands. But the things we can control and do, we must DO THEM. We have to endure so that we can see the end of it! Follow these steps to make your home a home that you love again.

1. Clear your mind
2. Look around your home
3. Identify your problem room
4. Think about what you need to do in that room
5. Focus on that
6. Now get ready to work

With a clear mind, the weights of life set aside and off your shoulders, you can focus on what must be done in all areas of your life. Choose today to make it your best day. R U Looking? Are you seeing what's really there? Remember, things always look better in a clean room!
