Freshen Up in 2015! 4 Ways to Get a Fabulous Fresh Start this New Year

The New Year, along with its many celebrations and excitement for what lies ahead, is typically accompanied by one thing just about all of us can relate to: the desire for change.

Whether it's losing weight, kicking an unhealthy habit, improving your financial situation or enhancing your appearance in some capacity... most of us have a list in our heads of things we'd like to accomplish at some point in 2015. 

With that being said, here are 4 ways (from our Xtreme Green Grass Xperts) to help YOU get a fabulous fresh start in the New Year:

1. Formulate new habits and adhere to them diligently.
Many experts believe new habits or healthier behaviors can be created successfully in as little as 21 days. That's less than a month to make new and effective changes in your lifestyle. If you plan to stop smoking, take it one day at a time for 3 weeks, which will soon turn into a month, 6 weeks, 2 months and so on. If you plan to lose weight, commit to eating better, sign up for a medical weight loss program and start incorporating exercise into your routine little by little. These baby steps, over time (and with a little patience) will produce big results, no matter what your resolution is for 2015!

2. Put together an all-star team as your support system.
There's safety in numbers for a reason, which is this: More people who stick together for the sake of a common interest will generally produce a more positive outcome. This is why professional sports teams, support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and even church-associated organizations are so successful... Each person involved is in it for a benefit, so together everyone wins. Use this same philosophy to build an all-star team to support your resolutions. Find a workout buddy. Invest in a life coach. Seek financial advice from your closest neighbors & friends who are also looking to manage their money better. Before you know it you'll be surrounded by others who share the same goals you have for this upcoming year!

3. Be realistic about the changes you hope to make this year.
Being on a mission to make significant improvements in your life can oftentimes instill a sense of impatience within us. Searching for a new job? It may take longer than a week to find one. Aiming to lose all that weight you gained from Halloween to New Year's Eve? You might want to give yourself a month to get a big head start on tipping the scales. Planning to save up a ton of money so you can book the vacation of your dreams this summer? It could take more than 90 days to get your funds together. Whichever changes you plan on incorporating into 2015, remember this: It won't be impossible, it will just take some time, a little effort and a lot of patience. Keep that thought in mind you'll be able to accomplish just about anything you put your mind to over the next 365 days!

4. Spruce up your surroundings.
Ever heard of that saying, "messy bed, messy head?" In simple terms, this translates into, whatever the conditions are in the environment you're immersed in, is the condition of your state of mind as well. So spruce things up a little by taking down your Christmas tree, putting away all your holiday decorations, rearranging the furniture and even tidying up the exteriors of your domain. Xtreme Green Grass lawn painting can give your outdoors a fresh, lush appearance quickly (and it's affordable too). A new look for the New Year has never been easier!

The More, the Merrier: How to Make the Upcoming Holidays More Festive at Home

You know how the famous Christmas carol goes: "It's the most... wonderful time... of the year!"

Why settle for wonderful, though, when you can be boasting with yule tide cheer inside and out at home?!

Here are 4 fabulous ways (from our Xtreme Green Grass Xperts) to become more festive at home for the holidays:

1. Put on some Christmas tunes and sing along.
"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing aloud for all to hear." That's what they say on the famous Will Ferrell movie Elf anyway. So why not give it a shot... pop in your favorite holiday CD and hum a few bars to your favorite holiday tune?!

2. Gather 'round the tube for some timeless entertainment.
Nothing brings more cheer than watching holiday movies from the past, right?! Peruse your Netflix menu or your On Demand archives for Christmas flick favorites such as Home Alone, A Christmas Story, or How the Grinch Stole Christmas! 

3. Bake some cookies (or at least make it smell like you did).
Did you know one of the biggest secrets of homeowners (and real estate agents) to making a house much more attractive to potential buyers is the wonderful aroma of freshly baked cookies? Use this terrific trick to make your home much more appealing to everyone in it simply by cookin' up a batch of your favorite holiday sweet treats for your loved ones. Or if you at least want it to seem like you baked some goodies, try burning a vanilla or sugar cookie scented candle (shhh, our secret. We won't tell!).

4. Make your humble abode more colorful from the inside out.
The stockings are hung, your holiday garland is up and your tree is lit... but what about the great outdoors? Add a long lasting splash of festive green to your front and back yards with Xtreme Green Grass lawn painting. It's quick, it's non-toxic and it's affordable!

Rye-fully So: 4 Benefits of Lawn Painting vs. Rye Grass

While these next few months can be a beautiful sight of Christmas decorations and festive accents everywhere indoors... our outdoor view(s) can appear more dry and drab until the warm weather temperatures are upon us once again.

The leaves have fallen to the ground, our trees are barren, there isn't as much sunlight and our lawns (sadly) have dried up and turned yellow or brown.

Sure, there are a few remedies available today for reviving our yards, but Xtreme Green Grass lawn painting can be the most ideal solution for you (mainly because it's easy and affordable).

Here are just 4 reasons why lawn painting can be much more effective than landscaping efforts like using winterizing fertilizers or planting rye grass:

1. Lawn painting results in a uniform, gorgeous green color.
Planting rye grass can cause inconsistencies in the coloring of your lawn. If your seeds aren't dispersed evenly, your yard will only appear lush in the patches where the actual seeds take (or set in and grow properly).

2. Rye grass still requires lots of upkeep during the wintertime.
A painted lawn that's "dead" in the winter won't need heavy maintenance once it has been treated. Rye grass, on the other hand, will still need to be cut and watered.

3. Rye grass is still susceptible to extreme temperatures.
The climate in your region should definitely be taken into consideration before catering to your exterior decor. That's because when temperatures reach 80 degrees (or more), rye grass can become scorched and even die when it's hot out. A painted lawn, however, is much more durable in all types of conditions including heat, rain and the bitter cold!

4. Lawn painting will not harm your landscape.
Most times, lawn care techniques like winterizing fertilizer or rye grass can overtake the other grass components in your yard. Lawn painting on the other hand (especially with the patented dye we use at Xtreme Green Grass ) is not only safe for your yard, but it also help keep weeds out while fertilizing your current ground covering.

See for Yourself: 4 Ways to Winter-EYES Your Lawn This Season

Changes in climate for the upcoming winter season are a great reminder that we should change the way we take care of our yards to better endure colder temperatures.

Here are 4 easy ways our Xtreme Green Grass Alabama Xperts suggest for "winterizing" your lawn in a snap:

1. Conduct a soil test to check the current condition of your grass.
If your soil appears to have adequate levels of potassium, your grass should be in good shape to brave the brisk weather throughout the next few months.

2. Determine weather your lawn is comprised of warm-season or cool-season grass.
For cool-season grass, consider purchasing a "winterizer" or other type of fertilizer that both nitrogen and potassium. For warm-season grass, you may want to hold off until later in the spring to actually fertilize and feed your lawn with a combination of balanced nutrients.

3. For winterizing on a dime, give organic lawn practices a try.
Organic lawn practices include landscaping methods such as:
- top dressing
- mulch mowing
- core aeration
- slow-release organic fertilizers

These types of winterizing solutions help to enrich your soil, resulting in a healthier lawn that requires minimal upkeep.

4. Have your lawn painted by our Xtreme Green Grass Xperts.
Harsh weather conditions like freezing temperatures or lack of rain no longer have to affect the appearance of your outdoors, because Xtreme Green Grass lawn painting can help your foliage maintain that fresh look any time of year...especially during the winter!

Xtreme Green Grass Alabama : 7 Signs You Might Be a Grinch

At Xtreme Green Grass Alabama we can honestly say we're ecstatic about this holiday season... aren't you?! 

If you aren't, cheer up. There's still time to get into the jingle bell spirit!

Here are 7 signs you might be a Grinch:

1. You haven't been listening to Christmas music. 
Instead, you've just been tuned into whatever's been on the Top 40 list. Why not make the switch and start Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree already?!

2. Your Christmas tree hasn't been assembled. 
Some of us got a head start on this immediately after Thanksgiving... Luckily for you, there are still a couple of weeks left to get that beautiful tree up (now hop to it)!

3. There aren't any stockings hung by your chimney. 
Let's face it. Many of us don't even have chimneys these days. So if your stockings haven't been "hung by the chimney with care," then it's okay... put them on a wall or your stairwell instead!

4. You haven't started shopping for presents. 
If you weren't part of all the Black Friday madness, then you're probably among the other part of the crowd who waits... 'til the absolute LAST minute to buy all your presents. The clock is tickin' though, so it's really okay to start today!

5. Your pets & children haven't had their pictures professionally while wearing their cute lil' Santa outfits.
That velvety Mrs. Claus dress you snagged off last year's post-Christmas clearance rack is eagerly waiting to be donned (by either your furry 4-legged friend or one of your offspring). Even if you have to use the camera from your cell phone to do it, why not start taking those charming Winter Wonderland snapshots this weekend?!

6. No blinking lights or colorful yard ornaments have been put up or around your house.
We're not saying your domicile should should resemble a scene out of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, but why not add some flair to your outdoors (a few strings of lights in your bushes or an inflatable giant snow globe never hurt anyone, right)?

7. Your front lawn & backyard haven't been treated with Xtreme Green Grass paint for that lush, yet festive appearance.
A huge part of feeling more "Christmas-y" is being surrounded by colors that exude the holiday vibe: red and of course, GREEN. Lawn painting can give your humble abode that wonderful wintergreen effect quickly (and it's affordable too)!

Don't be a Grinch this holiday season. Start getting yourself in the spirit by contacting an Xtreme Green Grass Xpert TODAY to find out more about our lawn painting services!

FAN-Tastic! 3 Reasons to Show Your Team Spirit with Xtreme Green Grass Alabama Lawn Painting

College football season is definitely in full swing, which means dedicated fans everywhere continue to do elaborate things to flaunt their fanaticism... from donning their lucky game day attire to flying mini team flags from their car windows to decorating their lawns (that's right, sports nuts really do this stuff).

Here are a couple of recent lawn painting examples:

- a Miami fan spray painted a giant 'U' on his lawn just in time for the Hurricane season opener

Make 'Em Green with Envy: 4 Reasons to Have Xtreme Green Grass Lawn Painting This Fall

The leaves are beginning to turn brown, and so is your front lawn. 

The good news is... the landscaping around your home doesn't have to stay looking drab and less-than-lush, thanks to our Xtreme Green Grass Xperts... 

Why not give our new lawn painting services a try?! Here are just 4 reasons YOU should have your lawn painted this fall: 

1. Your grass won't be showing any signs of looking green again for several months.
Fall is the best time to have your lawn painted because our grass has, well, basically stopped growing for the season...until next spring. Painting dormant "warm season grass" such as Zoysia, St. Augustine, Centipede and Bermuda has grown in popularity over recent years, especially during the cold weather months.

2. You won't have to water your lawn as much once it's done. 
Yes it's true: painting your lawn also translates in to fewer occasions when you'll have to run your sprinklers or water your grass by hand. Saving money by generating a smaller water bill can in turn create more shopping funds for you to take advantage of this upcoming holiday!

3. You're having family & friends over for Thanksgiving, so you want your lawn and backyard to look amazing. 
Before Turkey Day many of us are working hard to decorate and prepare the insides of our homes to look as dashing as possible. But what about the outdoors? Our Xtreme Green Grass lawn paint can enhance natural growth while being eco-friendly & non-toxic. This means it will look freshly manicured AND be completely safe for children and pets to frolic on post-feast!

4. You'll be putting up Christmas decorations or lights soon, and you'll need your outdoors to look both lush and festive. 
Having your lawn painted during the fall not only makes your front & back yards beautiful, our special formula also acts as a protective barrier which can preserve your outside view much longer (and throughout the winter). This will allow your lawn to appear just as equally glistening as your Christmas lights!
