KID & PET FRIENDLY - This is the perfect rug for parents & pet owners. Our family never even considered putting area rugs down in our home with 2 toddlers & 2 dogs. We assumed they would be ruined in no time and be a waste of money. Ruggable products have changed our minds and have been a great investment.

VERSATILE - There are so many color and pattern options to choose from. You will be able to find the right rug that compliments your personal style and decor. And there are 6 size choices for the ideal fit in every space. They work in any room of the house, even high traffic areas. We love all the various textile features and designs..

REALLY

REALLY RUGGABLE

SAFE - For many of us, your family is your top priority. So it really is comforting to know that Ruggable uses naturally hypoallergenic and non-toxic materials. The non-slip pads are ideal for little ones running around from room to room. And the rugs stay in place which is even better. The decorative cover attaches to the pad with a special cling effect technology. It reminds me of velcro and prevents the rug from sliding around or the two layers from coming apart.

It also makes changing out the cover extremely simple.

BY: Michaella Jaye

TIPS - For quick clean up, I will vacuum up crumbs and dust. However, I recommend vacuuming in one direction on a low suction setting. This prevents any rolls/lines on the surface of the cover. Also, it is very convenient to have multiple covers for each size pad that you put down. For example, I can pull one up to wash and have another one on hand in the meantime.

EASY TO CLEAN - Not only is this product durable, it is machine washable. Ideal for spills, messes and pet hair. Simply pull up the cover from the pad and put directly into your washer with your normal (Non-bleach) laundry detergent. I usually air dry mine and fluff to soften, but you can put it in the dryer on low heat as well.

The underlying pad is washable too. www.ruggable.com

Yearto-date, there have been 26,226 single-family home sales – a 1.1 percent decrease from the first six months of 2018 – with a median sale price of $395,000 – a 4.0 percent increase on the same basis.

“The lack of supply in the Massachusetts housing market and its impact on prices has never been more evident,” said Tim Warren, CEO of The Warren Group. “Last month, I observed that a lack of new listings on the market would continue to add upward pressure to single-family home prices. This appears to have played out and could continue to do so during the remainder of the summer.”

In June, there were 2,620 condominiums sales, compared to 2,969 sales in June 2018 – an 11.8 percent decrease. Meanwhile, the median sale price spiked 9.1 percent to $420,000 – the highest price ever recorded for condos, and the second consecutive month that the median sale price has exceeded $400,000.

“The median condo price has now exceeded the $400,000 mark for two straight months,” Warren added. “While this isn’t a total surprise, a $20,000 price hike on a month-over-month basis is truly unprecedented.”

Condos accounted for 1,973 purchase mortgages last month, totaling $798 million. Year-to-date, condos have accounted for 8,851 purchase mortgages totaling $3.21 billion

HEALTH & FITNESS

Let’s Get

Motivated

By Megan Ward

The most challenging part about working out is actually getting up and going. Whether you are going for a walk in the neighborhood, a run on the beach or to your local gym, it is hard to keep yourself motivated day after day. #CoastalHomeLife

[62]

CoastalHomeLife.com

Here are some pointers to stay motivated to exercise:

● Remember why you started.

Whether you are trying to lose weight, gain muscle or just stay healthy remind yourself why you even started going to the gym. There are so many benefits to exercising and it prevents countless health issues in the future. Remind yourself why you started exercising; and that is all the more reason not to stop. ● Put on your workout clothes.

Guilting yourself into exercising by wearing the appropriate attire is a great mental trick.

Changing out of running clothes without actually running first will make you feel bad pretty quickly. This way if you are already wearing your workout clothes you are one step in the right direction before you even start! ● Stay healthy.

If you pay close attention to what you are putting into your body, it will keep you from getting sick, thus resulting in skipping gym sessions.

The longer of a break you take from working out, the harder it is to get back into it. ● Wash your hair only on days you work out.

If you tell yourself that you can only wash your hair after a sweat-sesh, this will drive you to fit in a good workout before your hair gets too tangled or greasy. Whether you wash your hair every day or not, this will give you a reason to workout before you jump in the shower.

● You will have more energy and won’t regret your workout.

Getting to the gym is always the most challenging part of working out, especially at the end of the week when you can’t seem to get off the couch. Once you arrive at the gym, it is hard to regret your workout. Here’s why: It is proven that exercise reduces stress and anxiety by increasing the production of endorphins. When you stay active your metabolism and blood flow will increase. It will strengthen your circulation and heart muscles. If you start your morning off with a workout, you may even feel like you could skip your daily cup of coffee. ● Sign up for classes or go to a group fitness center.

When something is done in a group, you are less likely to quit early or not show up at all. There is an expectation that you arrive to the scheduled class or group workout, especially if you are paying for it. Whether it is yoga or cross fit, you are able to plan it into your schedule ahead of time -- making it that much more of a commitment. ● Work out with people who cheer you on or compete with you.

Anything can become a competition if you make it one. Set goals with your friends or a trainer and when they are positively encouraging you, you’ll want to continue. Turn your jog into a race or chat with a ‘gym buddy’ during your weightlifting session. This will keep you motivated to keep going back and improve.
