This winter it's crucial to stop the spread of germs to stay healthy!

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Is your home contributing to poor health? This winter, it's important to address the spread of germs within your living space.

Throughout each room of your home, there’s an opportunity for germs to spread and bacteria to grow.
That might sound pretty gross – a simple yet effective solution is to let fresh air

Let fresh air into your home
Open up your doors and windows every day, even if it’s cold. Ideally morning and night.

Mould has been linked to nasal congestion, wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, throat irritation, reduced lung function and chronic health problems.

But if you don’t want to leave your house open for a long time in the cool weather, it’s good to know that it doesn’t take much time to make a healthy difference to your home.

If you open a window widely and open a door, it can take as little as two minutes to exchange the air in that room. If you just do a lap to open up every door and window, and then turn around to do another lap to close everything up again – you have a house full of fresh air.
Keep your home fresh and healthy with this simple tips!

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Bob Owens Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
