ANCASTER RENTAL
Change your PillowIf your pillow is older than three years and has not been washed, it weighs more now than when you bought it. It's loaded with dust mites that are next to your face while you sleep. Choose hypoallergenic pillows over down pillows, and use a zippered pillow protector that you wash weekly for a double barrier. Wash your pillow at least twice a year and replace pillows every three years.
Always use a Nylon Shower Curtain LinerAllergy sufferers are told to shower often to remove pollen and pet dander from their bodies. However, the phthalate chemicals in vinyl shower curtains off-gas with humidity and heat, and also attract mold and mildew. This off-gassing can easily spread from the bathroom into the bedroom. Replace your vinyl liner with a nylon shower curtain liner.
MattressCover your mattress with a hypoallergenic cover and wash it every two months. Make sure your mattress is non-toxic without formaldehyde-based fire retardants.
Choose non-VOC PaintsTry to always use non-VOC paints which won't off-gas, or leave an obnoxious paint odour to stir up allergies. It looks just as good on the wall as regular paint. m

At the WindowLight pollution is an issue that people often ignore when trying to get a good night's sleep. A well-fitted set of blinds, shades or shutters is a great choice, and it can be a healthier one, too, as draperies can be dust-catchers. For example, Hunter Douglas Silhouette A Deux shadings combine the sheer, light-diffusing beauty of Silhouette shadings with a room-darkening roller shade for increased light control and privacy when desired.
Wash or FreezeStuffed Toys Stuffed animals and dolls are breeding grounds for dust mites. Wash them or put them in the freezer for 24 hours to remove them.
Keep Pets Cleanand Off BedsCat and dog allergies are very common, so keep pets bathed regularly to reduce the dander and don't allow them on your bed.
FlooringRemember that tile and hardwood floors can be a healthier choice than carpeting, as floor spaces are the largest dust collectors in the home and wall-to-wall carpeting can release VOC's if it contains certain adhesives, backings and sealants. Whatever your flooring choice, vacuum or clean it on a regular basis.
With these tips, creating a bedroom sanctuary for a good night's sleep is easier than ever.

Take honey, for example. Recently, many brands have started to blend a foreign supply with a minimum percent-age of Canadian honey. As a result, less honey is required domestically and increasingly, more of it is imported into Canada. That's bad news for local beekeepers who depend on the demand for their product, as well as for the farmers that rely on bees for crop pollination.
But not all Canadian packers are giving in to the blended trend. Guy Chartier, CEO of Bee Maid Honey, notes that this producer-owned co-op has been a part of the Canadian food landscape for over 60 years.
“We source it all from our owners, and this structure ensures that our honey is of consistent quality year after year, bottle after bottle.”
Canadian honey standards are among the highest in the world, and the country's beekeepers work hard to meet and exceed those standards, Chartier points out. “So not only do companies like Bee Maid Honey support the success of our beekeepers and farmers, but you know that what you're eating meets strict health and safety standards.”
Be sure to read the labels on products the next time you're in a grocery store. It may be the best way for you to support local beekeepers and agriculture - and as barbecue season arrives, do try this delicious recipe featuring Canadian honey: m

Thompson offers three recommendations for success:
TAKE NOTE
OF THE TAXESAs the saying goes, the only things certain in life are death and taxes. Depending upon the municipal, provincial and federal taxation requirements for your area, sales tax and land transfer tax will apply at differing levels across the country. You could even be taxed based on the level of renovations if a lot of work has been done. Also, consider the personal or business taxation implications from the sale of the property or on rental income that is generated. An accountant and lawyer are two people you'll want to bring in early before you venture into this realm. If you find the right home in the right location, taxes may not be a deal breaker, but be aware that paying them will cut into your profits.
“Challenges can
quickly mount for
the novice who
chooses to invest in
real estate,”says Lincoln Thompson, broker-owner
with Royal LePage Gardiner Realty
in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
“But if you take the
time to choose the
right home and rely
on the right people
for expertise, YOUR
INVESTMENT CAN
PAY DIVIDENDS.”
CONSIDER A
JOINT VENTURE,
BUT CHOOSE
YOUR PARTNERS
WISELY
Each party should bring to the relationship what others within the deal cannot. For example, if you have trade or technical expertise but are lacking funds or financial expertise, you'll want to concentrate on finding investment partners who bring these skills to the relationship. Don't partner with people who have the same strengths and weaknesses as you. If you are lacking expertise in any area, including real estate, hire a real estate agent with experience in real estate investment within the location you are considering. An experienced agent will also aid in bringing together the right deal makers. m
