Steven Taylor on the coming Holiday Season in LA: Will it Be Merry and Bright?


At the time of writing this article, Steven Taylor will realize that December really is just around the corner! And when December comes, that familiar holiday season is also sure to come next too!
 

 Steven Taylor is excited about the upcoming holidays. Truly, December really is the most wonderful time of the year. It’s because, during these months, Los Angeles shines up like a diamond especially under the night sky. It’s the time of the year where parks are decorated with outdoor Christmas trees and sparling outdoor lights. 

 

It’s not just the parks that will be shining throughout the night; even Steven Taylor’s neighborhood will also be decorating their homes, in anticipation of the coming holiday season.  

 

Steven Taylor’s heart is indeed filled with excitement, but it is also filled with worry. That’s because not everyone is going to enjoy a merry and bright holiday season.  

 

The current pandemic has left many homes devastated with the loss of lives and the loss of jobs. The economy is currently recovering, but as long as the pandemic continues to threaten everyone, businesses in LA remain on edge. You also have the tired front liners; the doctors, nurses, and hospital staff who are giving it their all, sacrificing their precious hours to make sure that those who got the disease are given the best of care. 

 

This is why Steven Taylor believes that even with all the anxiety, the scare, and the economic pressure that everyone in LA is experiencing, there is still hope. Hope that everyone in Steven Taylor’s community will get through this pandemic with bright smiles on their faces. Steven Taylor and his family are doing what they can to help and support their local community and make sure that everyone has the means to get through this time of hardship and anxiety.  

 

And it’s not just Steven Taylor who is giving back to the LA community; numerous business owners are also giving back to LA with whatever they can spare or muster. The local government is also doing its best by pushing for everyone in the community to get vaccinated and by helping the families of medical front liners through incentives. All in all, the whole city of Los Angeles is filled with hope, thanks to wonderful people who are willing to help each other out, all in the name of community and love. 

 

And with that, Steven Taylor still believes that this year’s holiday season in LA will still be merry and bright!

Steven Taylor on Holiday Season Lights and Home Safety in LA


Steven Taylor knows that everyone 
in
 LA is going to be a little bit busy these coming days because of the upcoming holiday season. It’s time to take out the decorations and the lights! 

 

It’s definitely that time of year where everyone is keen on brushing the dust off from their Holiday lights and decorations. However, Steven Taylor also believes that this is the perfect time to talk about home safety as well. 

 

Holiday lights and decorations look absolutely amazing and beautiful, but one also has to understand that these things can be hazardous too. Those Holiday lights that are either too old or have broken bulbs may have the tendency to suddenly spark and may cause a fire. Worse, the exposed circuits created by a broken electrical cord can cause many problems. Steven Taylor is quite sure that no one is keen on getting electrocuted while testing out a bunch of old Holiday lights, which is why one should make it a point to remove or replace broken light bulbs if possible. 

 

Other safety tips that one can do for their home before decorating the place with holiday season decorations are the following: 

 

  • Always keep the electrical cords that run together with your Holiday lights away from pets. Dogs may chew on those electrical cords and may cause electric shock leading to burns or worse, death. 


  • Have cats at home and planning to buy a new Holiday tree? Steven Taylor recommends you should find ways on how to cat-proof your Holiday tree. He’s heard many stories of cats destroying Holiday trees, which may definitely ruin the tree itself and its decorations.

  •  

  • Holiday decorations that were stored in the basement for too long should be cleaned properly. Steven Taylor is very particular about cleaning old Holiday decorations because he wants to avoid introducing dust inside his home. It’s very important, especially for household members who have dust allergies. 


  • When buying new Holiday lights or decorations, stick to the instruction manual when installing. Or if one can’t handle the installation, it’s time to call the professionals to install the decoration for you. This is true especially if one wants to install outdoor lights or decorations!

Steven Taylor on How to Keep Yourself Cool while in LA

 

While walking outside one sunny day, Steven Taylor quickly realized that his daily walks have gotten shorter every week. From around two to three hours of walking around the neighborhood, the habit cut off from one to two hours because Steven Taylor simply can’t handle the heat anymore. 

 

Indeed, LA and the rest of Southern California feel like one gigantic oven because of the intense heatwave. In fact, the problem has gotten so big that California is moving to create and adopt heatwave rankings. Some people believe that the intense heat is only temporary and will be gone naturally once the cooler months come in, but experts believe that the dry months are going to stay longer. This is perhaps a product of climate change, a fact that is always ignored by most people all over the world. 

 

Well, with the intense heatwave being a problem, Steven Taylor has made it clear that changes will need to be made in his household. He does his research and found many useful ways on keeping oneself cool during the dry season: 

 

Drink plenty of fluids.  

 

It’s simple, it’s effective, and it’s very healthy too. Drinking a cold glass of water is enough to keep yourself cool for a couple of hours. Just make sure you are drinking water most of the time and not soda. Increased soda intake is going to add more sugar into your system, thus making your body warm. It also raises your risk of diabetes and other health problems. If you want some tasty liquid refreshments, Steven Taylor recommends drinking freshly squeezed lemonades or orange juice. 

 

Limit the number of times you have to go out.  

 

If you need to get out of the house, make sure you already take care of everything while outside. Exposure to prolonged heat is very dangerous, so make sure to rest under a shade when needed. But if you really don’t have any business in going out, then stay put inside your home. 

 

Invest in an air conditioner.  

 

If you can’t, at least make sure that your house has proper ventilation to let air come in and out of the house.  

 

 

Wear light-colored or loose clothing 

 

Funny enough, Steven Taylor has a lot of clothes that are too big for him. These are clothes that he used to wear before he toned down due to exercise.  

 

In any case, if you have light-colored or loose clothing, using them during the heatwave is a good idea, since loose clothing helps in letting the air circulate inside your clothes, thus keeping you cool while going out. If you have too many t-shirts that are too big for you, it’s sometimes a good idea to remove the sleeves, thus transforming your big T-shirts into something loose and comfortable to wear.
