Always Work from Top to Bottom

When you dive into your carefully planned cleaning schedule, it’s important to start from the top. This will force dust and debris downward and will keep you from having to re-dust or re-clean the space. So, if you’re cleaning your living room, start with dusting the ceiling fan, then tackle furniture, and finally, sweep the floors.

Choose Your Cleaning Products Wisely

While they might smell fresh, most cleaning products expose us to harmful chemicals and toxins. Consider using more eco-friendly options, including a steam cleaner that can be used on multiple surfaces, naturally derived, biodegradable cleaning products, or opt for something homemade! Click here for some non-toxic home-cleaning formulas.

Walls & Windows Need Love, Too

When it comes to a cleaning routine, walls and windows are often forgotten. Dust doesn’t only stick to floors and other flat surfaces! An easy way to wipe down your walls is with a damp towel (starting from top to bottom, of course). When it comes to your windows, it’s best to use a microfiber cloth, paper towels, or newspaper to prevent streaks.

Remove Excessive Pet Hair

Is your furry-friend starting to shed their winter coat in your pet-friendly Cameron residence? An easy way to get the excessive pet hair out of your carpet, rugs, and furniture is using a window squeegee. The rubber edge easily grips and removes the hair. Finish the job by running a vacuum over the clean, hair-free surface.

Your sophisticated Cameron residence deserves a little TLC. Start your spring-cleaning journey today!

1. Turn Off Your Devices and Go Outside

There’s no better day to disconnect and reconnect. Unplug your electronics and explore our beautiful Tempe neighborhood on two feet or two wheels! Take a scenic bike ride around Tempe Town Lake or a quick stroll over to Tempe Marketplace. There’s so much to explore around The Cameron.

2. Revamp Your Household Products

Take inventory of your household items. Do they contain a lot of harsh chemicals? Are they single-use? Support more sustainable brands this Earth Day by swapping these items for those with eco-friendly ingredients, reusable components or minimal packaging.

3. Adopt a Houseplant 

Taking care of our planet starts in your Cameron home. Head to a local garden center in Tempe this Earth Day and adopt a plant pal for your room or home office! Here are some of our favorite benefits of houseplants:

• Reduced indoor air pollution

• Improved mood and well-being

• Help us grow closer to and increase our care for nature

There are endless ways to celebrate our beautiful home without going far from yours. Reach out to us today to explore and learn more about vibrant Tempe living at The Cameron.

You can easily get an effective workout with bodyweight exercises.

Track Your Progress

Not only can tracking your progress help keep you motivated and accountable, but it also shows when and where changes need to be made in your training, allowing for easier modifications. You can track your progress by wearing a fitness tracker (Apple Watch, Fitbit, etc.), using mobile apps, or simply writing down what you do on a calendar or notebook.

Keep a Schedule

Establishing a plan will help change your approach to exercise. When your workouts become a part of your daily routine, they become essential to your lifestyle, and you will no longer dread them or see them as a chore. As time goes on and you continue to stick to your plan, even those days where you don’t really feel motivated, your routine will help you keep going.

Get Outside

While strength training can be beneficial to do at home, outdoor exercise is always recommended, as well. Walking, jogging, biking, and rollerblading are great outdoor cardio workouts you can do nearby at Tempe Town Lake or around the neighborhood. Don’t forget to practice social distancing!

Go ahead and ditch the gym membership! It’s easy to stay on top of your fitness goals from your home at The Cameron. Give us a call to schedule your tour today.

Add Your Must-Have Appliances

The main attraction, aka the coffee maker, should be the first thing you place in your new coffee bar. Depending on how you take your coffee, you’ll want to make room for other appliances, such as an espresso machine, coffee grinder, milk frother, and an electric tea kettle.

Display Your Mugs and Supplies

The next step to creating your perfect coffee bar is storing your mugs and other accessories. Simply tuck them into your spacious cabinets or get creative by using a freestanding mug tree or shelf. As for other supplies, such as sugar, syrups, and straws, you can make them accessible by displaying them on a stylish tray or a lazy Susan right on your countertop.

Store Your Coffee

Now it’s time to store your beans. Keurig and Nespresso users can find many styles of coffee pod storage, including drawers, towers, and baskets. For those who choose to go the drip-coffee route, it’s important to store your coffee grounds and beans in an airtight canister to ensure freshness.

When it comes to decorating your coffee bar, the sky’s the limit. Add your signature style by choosing mugs in your favorite color, displaying a custom sign, decorative accents, plants, and so much more. The best part? You can find all your decorations and more next door at Tempe Marketplace.

Wake up to the perfect cup of coffee every morning in your Cameron apartment. Give us a call to schedule your tour today.

Happy Hour

Everyone needs their fun, upbeat playlist to cheers to! The first song should be your queue that work is officially over for the day. Whether you go the nostalgic route or stick with the current top-40, this is your playlist to put on when you want to boost your mood. Not only is your Cameron kitchen a sleek place to cook meals, it’s also the perfect place for a little late night dance party.

Getting Motivated

Your workout doesn’t start until this playlist comes on. A motivational playlist is a great way to get your heart pumping and to push you to do that last rep. When selecting songs, it’s important to pick tracks with the right tempo for your workout. Once you find the perfect collection of songs, hit shuffle and enjoy an at-home workout in your spacious living room or head out for a jog around nearby Tempe Town Lake.

Winding Down

For this final playlist, think Saturday evening nightcap or Sunday morning coffee. This is the list to add your slower favorites to for easy listening. Before you start your workday or after your happy hour playlist ends, fill your residence with relaxation.

No matter what playlists you create, they’re sure to complement your Cameron residence. Contact us today to find your dream apartment in a vibrant Tempe location!

Do What Makes You Happy

Through its ups and downs, 2020 was a year to discover what you really like and dislike about your lifestyle. Whether you want a clean slate in your career, a new place to live or a different hobby, now is your chance to switch things up. No matter what changes you’d like to make, The Cameron has what you need to live your way. It’s time to find a residence that brings you joy each and every day.

Show Gratitude More Often

It’s important to reflect and be thankful, because someone, somewhere has it worse than you do. The start of 2021 is the best time to show your appreciation for the things we may have taken for granted in the past. Tip your delivery driver extra, thank your grocery store cashier or check in on those who mean a lot to you. It’s easy to show your gratitude and you never know whose day it will make.

Find Joy in the Little Things

We’re all guilty of getting caught up in life sometimes. Now is a great time to slow down and find pleasure in the simple things in life. Take a scenic stroll around Tempe Town Lake, watch another episode on Netflix with your dog or FaceTime with your best friend. At the end of the day, it’s the little things in life that bring you the most joy.

Start off the new year with a new residence at The Cameron, located in the perfect Tempe location. Contact our team to schedule your tour of our community!

Seniors are Less Demanding

A senior animal is often less demanding than an energetic, untrained puppy or kitten. Most grown-up pets don't need the constant monitoring and training that puppies and kittens need, so they're a desirable choice for elderly people, families with children or those with a busy schedule.

You’re Saving a Life

Many people are quick to adopt puppies, kittens and younger dogs and cats. Shelters are often overcrowded and unfortunately, older animals are among the first to be euthanized if they aren’t adopted within a specific time frame. By adopting a senior animal, you’re giving it a second chance to live out the rest of its life with dignity and love.

Older Pets are More Calm

Adult dogs and cats have established demeanor and temperament, which will give you an idea of how they will fit into your lifestyle. Older dogs are out of the energetic puppy phase, which will result in a more relaxing living experience in your Cameron home. Adult cats are used to experiencing new sights and sounds, making it easy for them to acclimate to new environments.

Seniors Make Instant Companions

Age is not a determining factor in an animal’s affection or ability to develop new relationships. Senior pets have already grown into their personalities, and most of them have been socialized and know how to get along with humans and other animals. An adult dog or cat will be the perfect addition to your Cameron lifestyle.

If you’re looking to add a new furry-friend to your pet-friendly Cameron residence, consider saving a life and adopting a senior dog or cat from one of these local shelters.

The Menu

The best Thanksgiving starts with the best menu. Rather than put all the food out at once, consider breaking it up into sections. Begin with an appetizer, such as sweet potato bites or a bacon spinach dip, to keep everyone from getting hangry. Then move on to the main course, which usually includes a roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing and much more. Finally, end things on a sweet note with a seasonal dessert, like pumpkin pie or an apple crisp.

Hosting virtually? Send your loved ones the same menu to ensure everyone has what they need to cook an unforgettable meal on the big day!

Local Grocery Stores

Looking for the perfect turkey? Planning to make a new stuffing recipe? Pouring a seasonal drink? Find all the ingredients on your list at Target at Tempe Marketplace or Safeway, just 8 minutes away. Don’t forget to pick up all your groceries before it’s too late! Grocery stores within close proximity also mean that if you forget something, or maybe your first attempt doesn’t go as planned, there’s no need to sweat it.

Your Cameron Kitchen

The most important part of cooking any feast is having the kitchen to handle the job. Lucky for you, The Cameron’s sleek kitchens have everything you need, and more! From convenient appliances to granite countertops and dine-in gourmet islands, this heart of the home has your back. Your Thanksgiving guests are sure to be impressed whether they come over for the holiday or see it as your Zoom background.

No matter how you’re celebrating this year, we wish you a delicious and memorable holiday. Happy Thanksgiving from The Cameron!

Start Small  

Starting with a 2-minute meditation for one week, then gradually increasing your time week by week, is the key to keeping up with a meditation routine. Ideally, you want to be at a 10-minute meditation by month two. 

Check in With How You’re Feeling

During your session, it’s important to check in with yourself about how you are feeling. Tired? Stressed? Calm?  Mindful check-ins can help you to develop self-awareness and self-control. 

Count Your Breaths

To keep your mind from wandering, try counting “one” as you take in the first breath, then “two” as you breathe out. Repeat this to the count of ten, then start again at one. 

Develop a Loving Attitude

When you notice thoughts and feelings during your meditation, look at them with a positive attitude. Your feelings are not your enemies, they are a part of you.  

Don’t Worry About Clearing Your Mind 

Many people assume that the goal of meditation is all about clearing your mind. It’s not. Having thoughts is normal, but if you do find yourself wandering, just return to counting your breaths. 

Do a Body Scan

Once you become better at following your breath, it can help to start focusing on one body part at a time. Starting at your toes, then your ankles, all the way up to the top of your head. 

Stay Committed

Finally, it’s important to stay committed to your meditation schedule. Don’t just stick to it for a few days, try and practice for at least one month to gain the utterly amazing benefits. 

Start your meditation routine in your living room at The Cameron and begin each day with a clear mind.

Utilizing Wall Spaces  

When your belongings become a part of the walls, you don’t lose nearly as much square footage that you would with a standing bookshelf. Adding floating shelves in your home takes up zero floor space and can free up a large amount of storage for books, photos, and so much more. 

Statement Pieces 

Adding a few large statement pieces to your home, rather than multiple smaller pieces, can free up a great amount of floor space. For example, rather than adding two nightstands and a dresser, consider adding one large storage bench at the foot of your bed, giving you more space in your bedroom. 

Proper Closet Organization 

Even though The Cameron hooks you up with a large walk-in, it wouldn’t hurt to try and boost your closet space as much as you can. Slight changes like stacking sweaters and other thick items on shelves can free up drawer space and using multi-port hangers can potentially triple your hanging space. 

Don’t Forget About Doors

Utilizing ‘behind-the-door' organizers can free up a surprising amount of room in your apartment. For example, hanging shoe storage can be useful for both shoes and creating more drawer and shelving space in your bathroom and kitchen. The possibilities are endless. 

As if life at The Cameron could get any better, one of these tips could create even more space for you to thrive. Take a tour today and experience the pinnacle of Tempe apartment living.
