BLVD Loves

  • <p>BLVD Loves...Tiffany Lamps. These lamps date back to the 1890s and were designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of Charles Lewis Tiffany of the famous Tiffany and Co. While they experienced a period of decline, they became very popular again in the 1950s. Authentic Tiffany Lamps can be expensive but to the untrained eye the knockoffs can be just as pretty. Today, Tiffany Lamps can brighten up any room with a classic, antique feel bringing in art with their utility-whether or not you pay the big bucks.</p>
  • <p>BLVD loves Spring Cleaning. We`re not just talking about tidying up the place by throwing away old pizza boxes, washing dirty laundry or doing dishes. We`re talking about heavy duty clean! From dusting window blinds to mopping floors, a good scrub is just the ticket to make your apartment or house feel warm and inviting this Spring.</p>

  • <p>BLVD loves reusable water bottles! Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic water bottles every HOUR! If everyone used reusable water bottles we could significantly decrease this number.

For more information about doing good by the environment, visit the WildernessU-Georgia website. Be sure to stay hydrated in this oddly warm weather with a reusable water bottle</p>
  • <p>BLVD loves classic literature. From the timeless plays created by the renowned William Shakespeare to the heart-wrenching love stories of the Victorian Era, classic literature continues to be prevalent not only in the classroom, but on the bookshelves of many. Whether reading classic literature is a favorite pastime or a simple distraction on a cold, rainy day, classic literature allows us to exit the world of reality and dive into the imagination of a creative writer. We the reader are taken to unknown places of interest and introduced to heroines, damsels in distress, villains and many other characters that make a good story. We become consumed and immediately are entertained. And the varieties of genres are endless. Whether you are a poetic soul that yearns for literature that speaks or an intellect who enjoys analyzing plot and underlying meanings, classic literature offers a diverse selection. For suspense, read Edgar Allan Poe. Humor and satire, Oscar Wilde. The traditional Victorian novel, Emily Bronte. Thought and reason, Henry David Thoreau. And for the classic American love story, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Pick a book of your choice, curl up with a soft blanket and mocha latte, and get to reading.</p>
