How Home Improvements Can Help the Quality of Your Living Space
Whether you live under the bright lights of NYC or in the privacy of nature out west, everyone loves to feel safe and comfortable in their homes. But let's face it, over time, homes go through normal wear and tear that requires some fixing.
Some upgrades can be made purely for aesthetic purposes and make your home look nicer, but others are more practical and can really improve your quality of life. Here are a few simple upgrades you can make to really make a difference in your home:
Peripherals For Air Vents
To be clear, any upgrades or repairs you need to make to your home's HVAC system need to be done by a professional. But, you can use your air vents to control the flow of air in your home, whether you want warm or cool air. You can attach air deflectors to your vents and will prevent air from leaking or letting outside air in. Americans get around a billion colds a year, so a well-controlled HVAC system is important.
New Light Bulbs
If you're looking to make your NYC home more energy-efficient, you can't go wrong with installing LED light bulbs in your home. These last longer, use less energy, and will help cut down on your energy bills. As an added bonus, LEDs are relatively inexpensive, so you can outfit your entire home with them.
Check Your Plumbing
Believe it or not, there are some water storage tanks in use that are more than 100 years old. If you have one in your NYC home that's still running, you'll want to make sure everything is in good shape, especially with winter coming. While you're at it, check your home's plumbing system. Even a simple leak coming out of a toilet or a dripping sink can have a big impact on your home. It can cause water to pool up in places it shouldn't and it can drive up your utility bills.
Clean Up
One simple, but very effective way to improve your quality of life in your NYC home is to de-clutter it. Chances are good you've got a storage room just teeming with clutter or maybe a closet that's filled to the brim. By de-cluttering your home, it will obviously be cleaner, but you'll feel accomplished and you'll likely have cleaner air inside too, once you vacuum and remove dirt and dust.
Find Other Ways To Go Green
If you're truly committed to cutting down on your energy use, you should look for other ways to be more energy-efficient. That doesn't necessarily have to include something big like installing a solar panel -- though that certainly helps -- but you can instead install LED bulbs and install energy-efficient blinds and windows. If you truly are looking to go bigger -- like if you need a new roof -- you can have an energy-efficient one. It will block most UV rays from the sun, provide better insulation from the heat, and actually cool the entire house more than a traditional roof.
You'd be surprised at how little changes to your NYC home can drastically improve your quality of life. Something as simple as installing new light bulbs can give you more light inside while lowering your energy bills. Installing new blinds or curtains can protect your furniture, block more UV rays, and keep your house cooler. Cleaning on a regular basis can remove dust and dirt so you'll breathe cleaner air. So get to work on simple changes; you'll be surprised what a difference they make.

Martini & Rossi capture the joy of friendship as people reunite across the world. The iconic aperitivo brand joins forces with legendary photographer Greg Williams to capture a historic moment in time for future social reunions.
Photo Credit to MARTINI & ROSSI® X Greg Williams
MARTINI®, the world’s leading vermouth brand and photographer Greg Williams are coming together to curate a once in a lifetime digital photography series of friends reuniting. Friends are being asked to submit images of their in-person gatherings as people hope to safely reunite and create a truly unique moment in time.
To inspire people to capture their own moments of reconnection, Williams, admired for his reportage-style images, will launch the series with a collection of photographs in celebration of friendship, featuring his wife, fashion model, Eliza Cummings. Centered around a typical Italian aperitivo hour in the early evening sunshine, the scene depicts the group catching up over ‘cicchetti’ or snacks in Italian and enjoying the delicious taste of MARTINI & ROSSI Fiero and tonic.

As someone who regularly captures leading talent, Williams is famous for his ability to take authentic, candid, and relaxed portraits of his subjects. To help people less confident with photography, Williams has created a video guide on how to capture unforgettable moments with friends using just a smartphone. Accessible via his and the MARTINI Instagram page, the guide includes tips on composition, lighting, making your subjects feel at ease, the importance of storytelling, and more, all done in Williams’ signature relaxed tone and style.
As part of curating the digital gallery, MARTINI & ROSSI and Williams will be choosing four people to have a once in a lifetime opportunity to be photographed remotely with their friends by Williams himself, using emerging new technology.

Victoria Morris, Vice President of MARTINI & ROSSI, comments: “At MARTINI & ROSSI, we understand the importance of time spent with friends, it’s been at the very heart of our brand since it was founded by three friends over 150 years ago. We’ve all missed meeting with friends over the past year but as we look forward, we can start to think about how we can enjoy those incomparable face-to-face moments with the ones we love. Through our promotion with Greg Williams, we want people to celebrate reconnecting and help us capture this extraordinary moment in time.”
Greg Williams adds, “The past year has been tough, and I’ve certainly missed being able to hang out with my friends, that’s why I’m so pleased to be partnering with such an iconic brand as MARTINI & ROSSI on this project. I describe myself as a candid photographer, capturing images in-the-moment, and as friends start to meetup there are going to be so many opportunities to take beautiful shots.

He continues; “You’re most relaxed when you’re with your closest friends and when you haven’t seen those people for quite some time, the emotion and excitement can come through in an image that can be kept forever. I am excited to be curating a digital gallery of the best images and to see the joy as friends come together”.
To be in for a chance to be featured in the gallery and of winning a once in a lifetime opportunity to be photographed with friends by Greg Williams, people can submit their photographs to #MARTINIMoments on Instagram.

The Newest Bourbon In Town For National Bourbon Month And Some Other's We'll Have
September is national bourbon month, and no better way to celebrate than the launch of your new favorite bourbon. Today, Hudson Whiskey, hailing from the distillery that started the New York whiskey revival, introduced its oldest release to date - Four Part Harmony, a four-grain bourbon whiskey aged a minimum of 7 years.
Just like the cultural tapestry of its eponymous state, Hudson Whiskey’s new, matured bourbon offering is a sum greater than its parts. Featuring the rich sweetness of corn, sharp peppery notes of rye, the smooth subtlety of wheat, and the light fruitiness of malted barley, the flavors work together like a jazz quartet—a perfectly harmonious combo that ends on a high note every time.
“Hudson Whiskey has been looking forward to this moment ever since our humble beginnings upstate, so we’re thrilled to unveil our oldest release to date,” says Paul Coffey, Senior Brand Manager of Hudson Whiskey. “Four Part Harmony is ready to ‘wow!’ dedicated Hudson fans and turn other whiskey drinkers’ heads with its bold, yet refined taste. This release shows Hudson Whiskey’s intent to continue pushing boundaries and paving the way within this pivotal time in the American craft whiskey movement.”
Below are some bourbons we’ll be trying, and so should you.
Fistful of Bourbon
Fistful of Bourbon is a blend of five straight American bourbons – literally a fistful – that together delivers the best that bourbon has to offer. 100% straight American whiskey, Fistful was born from over 100 years of whisky making prowess from William Grant & Sons, but with a cowboy spirit and a touch of Hollywood nostalgia. The first from-the-ground-up American whiskey from the award-winning portfolio, each ‘finger’ of Fistful has a distinct flavor: balanced and sweet, green, leafy floral notes, soft spices and hints of nutmeg, buttery toffee, cinnamon and licorice.
Gold Medal at San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2017
Deep amber in color. Rich notes of dark fruit, caramel, sharp honey, chocolate and marzipan on the nose. A full-bodied mix of vanilla, dark caramel, hazelnut, apple, fruit and spices on the palate. The finish is long and creamy with lingering hints of honeyed apple.
Blanton's is the Original Single Barrel Bourbon that retains its uniqueness today by virtue of world wide critical acclaim. It has been awarded international gold medals, grand gold medals, and recommendations from noted spirits writers like Paul Pacult. The individual barrel selection process is one that involves one of the most respected Master Distillers in the bourbon industry. Elmer T. Lee introduced Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon in 1984 and since that time has been enshrined in the Master Distillers' Hall of Fame. Elmer searched the honey spots of Warehouse H to personally select those barrels destined for greatness. Unlike other brands which are restricted to certain ages, Blanton's strives for a distinctive flavor profile across an array of years.
