This may help with the efficiency of some items, and even if you do not go on a trip somewhere, summer at home can be cooler and more comfortable if you cross off these minute tasks.

As we pass the two-month mark of quarantine, our feelings of anxiety and stress may have become a little more than we can bear. With South Florida businesses reopening and individuals trying to navigate next steps, prioritizing our mental health is absolutely essential. This Mental Health Awareness month, we’re sharing five easy ways to cope with stress, so you and your family can reintroduce peace and tranquility into your lives.
Whether it’s waking up at the same time every day or exercising after work, routines give us a sense of comfort and control. For many work-from-home professionals and parents, lunch and breaks in a different space than where you work, can provide a bit of the work-life balance you’re dreaming of. You may even want to get the kids on a routine as well! With summer vacation right around the corner, designating time for passion projects, learning something new, having fun, and relaxing is the key to boosting your mood and motivation.
Now, before you start planning your next grocery run, it’s important to remember that a proper diet takes baby steps. Start with what you already have – many of your favorite fruits, veggies, and carbs help reduce cortisol levels and relieve stress. Also, make sure to keep these healthy foods within sight, so you can narrow your options and avoid reaching for something unhealthy. If you live in one of Lennar’s Urbana Townhomes or Condos in Doral, incorporating nutritious dishes into your day-to-day routine is especially easy with the spacious chef-inspired kitchen and stainless steel appliances – part of Lennar’s Everything’s Included® package.
Between everyday worries and widespread uncertainty, it may seem impossible to consider self-care a priority. However, it may be exactly what you need to feel at ease. Living in Campo Bello, a community of Twin-Homes and Single-Family Homes in Miami, gives you plenty of opportunities to discover new forms of self-care. Imagine: mastering yoga poses in your over-sized backyard, pampering yourself in your indulgent master bath, or playing board games with the kids on your open-concept first floor. Adding a few minutes of self-care to your schedule will give you that extra pick-me-up to keep going.
When was the last time you experienced complete and utter silence? Most professionals, parents, and even children struggle to clear their minds of everyday distractions. So, whether it’s five minutes or forty, meditating may be the solution to help you center your thoughts, improve your focus, and enjoy more restful sleep. Satori, a community of lakefront Estate Homes in Miami Lakes, is full of tranquil gardens, soothing water features, winding walking paths, plentiful green spaces, and meditation benches to encourage daily mindfulness, indoors and out.
These days, we’re certainly experiencing a lack of human connection. However, on the bright side, the current circumstances have inspired new and creative ways to reach out virtually and connect with those we love. Lennar understands the importance of bringing families together. That’s why every Lennar home offers Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Designs to provide exceptional connectivity and convenience from any part of the home. With no dead spots, you’re free to (video) chat the night away.

There is a lot of misinformation around credit cards and the best ways to build your credit. Below you’ll find some of the most common myths we hear from people. But don’t worry—we debunk each one and give you some advice you can actually use.
“Checking My Credit Score Will Lower It”
As long as you’re using a credit service like Credit Karma, you won’t hurt your score as long as you’re just checking your score. These services do something called a “soft credit inquiry”. Because these soft pulls aren’t connected to an application for credit, they don’t count against you.
“I Can Build a Good Credit Score with Debit Cards”
Actually, there isn’t credit attached to debit cards or prepaid cards. The only way to build your score is through making payments toward your credit cards and loans (think car payments, student loans, or a home loan payment). Using a credit card for small purchases and paying the full balance each month is a way to build credit without overextending yourself.
“I’ll Up My Score with a Big Purchase I Pay Off Slowly”
The amount of your purchase doesn’t affect your score. If you make ten purchases for $50 each, it’s the same weight as making one purchase for $500. In fact, making larger purchases could lower the amount of credit you have available, which could actually lower your score. The simplest advice to building credit is to only buy what you can afford and to pay off your balance each month.
“Closing a Credit Card Will Help My Score”
While you shouldn’t use a credit card if you aren’t able to make the payments, you also shouldn’t close it if you can help it. When you close a credit card, it is removed from your credit profile. This can lower the average age of your credit. If your account is in good standing, you can simply keep the card in a safe place at home and not use it.
“It Took Me a Long Time to Build Credit, So It Will Take A Long Time for It to Go Down”
It’s true that it takes years of good credit history to increase your score—but it can take only one missed payment to lower it quickly. In fact, it only takes a few months to have a great credit score ruined. After six months of nonpayment, your account is “charged-off”. This is one of the worst things that can happen to your score.
“A Bad Credit Score Lasts Forever”
This is one myth that feels good to bust. A bad score only lasts forever if you continue to hurt your score (making late payments, maxing out credit cards, letting bills go into collections). If you can manage your credit well, your score can improve. It will take time, but many people are able to repair damage done to their credit by using it responsibly.
Understanding how credit works is the first step to building and
maintaining a healthy credit score. The best credit scores can open doors to
much more buying power down the road, so it’s important to keep your score up
by making payments, using credit well, and staying on top of things with a
credit service.
