Pet-Proofing Your RPM Apartment: Tips for a Safe and Happy Home

Hey pet lovers! At RPM Living, we know that your furry friends are family, and keeping them safe and happy in your apartment is a top priority. Whether you have a playful pup, a curious kitty, or any other adorable animal companion, we’ve got you covered with our top tips for pet-proofing your apartment. Let’s dive in and make your home a pet paradise!

Keep Hazardous Items Out of Reach

Pets are naturally curious, and they love to explore. Make sure to keep any hazardous items, such as cleaning supplies, medications, and certain foods, are well out of reach. Store these items in cabinets with childproof locks or on high shelves. Remember, what’s safe for humans can be dangerous for pets.

Secure Trash Cans

Trash cans can be a treasure trove for pets, but they can also be dangerous. Invest in a trash can with a secure lid to keep your furry friend from getting into harmful leftovers or sharp objects. Consider placing the trash can in a cabinet or pantry to keep it completely out of reach.

Hide Electrical Cords

Electrical cords are irresistible to many pets, especially teething puppies and curious cats. To prevent chewing and potential shocks, hide cords behind furniture, use cord protectors, or secure them with cable organizers. You can also use pet-safe bitter sprays to deter chewing.

Choose Pet-Friendly Furniture and Fabrics

When it comes to furniture, choose pieces that can withstand pet hair, claws, and the occasional accident. Leather and microfiber are great options because they’re durable and easy to clean. For added protection, use washable slipcovers or pet blankets to keep your furniture looking fresh.

Create a Pet-Safe Zone

Designate a specific area in your apartment as a pet-safe zone where your furry friend can relax and play without getting into trouble. Fill it with their favorite toys, a comfy bed, and maybe even a pet gate to keep them contained when you’re not home. This gives your pet a safe space and helps keep the rest of your apartment in order.

Watch Out for Small Objects

Pets love to bat around and chew on small objects, which can be choking hazards. Keep items like coins, buttons, jewelry, and small toys out of reach. Regularly check under furniture and in other hiding spots where these items might end up.

Protect Your Plants

Many common household plants are toxic to pets. Make sure to research any plants you have or plan to bring into your apartment. Keep toxic plants out of reach or opt for pet-friendly alternatives like spider plants, Boston ferns, or succulents. Your pet and your greenery can coexist peacefully with a little planning!

Use Pet Gates and Barriers

Pet gates and barriers are excellent for keeping pets out of certain areas, like the kitchen or a home office. They’re easy to install and can be a lifesaver in managing your pet’s movements around the apartment - and most are renter-friendly! Plus, they’re great for creating boundaries and teaching your pet about off-limit areas.

Secure Windows and Balconies

If you live in an apartment with windows or a balcony, ensure they are secure. Consider using pet-safe, renter-friendly netting or barriers on balconies to prevent any accidental falls. Cats and small dogs can be especially adventurous, so take extra precautions.

Provide Plenty of Entertainment

A bored pet can quickly become a mischievous pet. Keep your furry friend entertained with plenty of toys, scratching posts, and interactive activities. Puzzle toys and treat dispensers are great for keeping their minds engaged. Regular playtime and exercise are key to a happy and well-behaved pet.

Regular Maintenance and Check-Ups

Finally, regular maintenance and check-ups are essential. Keep your pet’s nails trimmed to prevent damage to floors and furniture. Schedule regular vet visits to ensure your pet is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. A healthy pet is a happy pet!

Pet-proofing your apartment doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With these tips, you can create a safe, happy, and harmonious home for you and your furry friend. At RPM Living, we believe that pets are part of the family, and we’re here to help you make your apartment the perfect place for everyone. Happy pet-proofing!

Sizzle into Summer: Grilling Ideas for the Perfect BBQ

Summer is the perfect time to fire up the grill, gather with friends and family, and enjoy some delicious outdoor cooking. Let’s dive into some mouthwatering recipes and tips to elevate your summer BBQ game!

Classic Burgers and Hot Dogs

Let’s start with the all-time favorites—burgers and hot dogs. For the perfect burger, choose high-quality ground beef, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook to your desired doneness. Don’t forget the toppings! Offer a variety of cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and condiments. For hot dogs, grill until they have those beautiful char marks and serve with a selection of mustards, ketchup, relish, and onions.

Savory BBQ Ribs

Nothing says summer like a rack of tender, juicy ribs. Start by marinating your ribs in a flavorful rub overnight. When it’s time to grill, cook them low and slow, basting with your favorite BBQ sauce. The result? Fall-off-the-bone goodness that will have everyone licking their fingers.

Grilled Veggie Skewers

Veggie skewers are a great way to add some color and nutrition to your BBQ spread. Use a variety of vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms. Brush them with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs, then grill until tender and slightly charred. These are perfect for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike!

Juicy Grilled Chicken

For a lighter option, grilled chicken is always a hit. Marinate chicken breasts or thighs in a mix of lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and herbs for a few hours. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring it’s juicy and flavorful. Pair with a fresh salad or grilled corn for a delightful summer meal.

Seafood Delight

Add some coastal flair to your BBQ with grilled seafood. Shrimp skewers, salmon fillets, and grilled lobster tails are all fantastic choices. Season with lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs, then grill until perfectly cooked. Seafood is quick to grill and adds a gourmet touch to your summer feast.

Fun with Kebabs

Kebabs are fun to make and eat! Alternate pieces of marinated meat, such as beef, chicken, or lamb, with vegetables on skewers. Grill until the meat is cooked through and the veggies are charred. These are perfect for kids and adults and can be customized to suit everyone’s tastes.

Perfect Grilled Corn

Grilled corn on the cob is a summer staple. Brush the corn with melted butter and season with salt and pepper before grilling. For a fun twist, try Mexican street corn: after grilling, slather the corn with a mix of mayo, sour cream, lime juice, and chili powder, then sprinkle with cotija cheese and cilantro.

Delicious Desserts

Yes, you can even use your grill for dessert! Grilled fruits like pineapple, peaches, and bananas become wonderfully caramelized and make a sweet end to your meal. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an irresistible treat.

Refreshing Beverages

Don’t forget to stay hydrated! Offer a selection of refreshing beverages like lemonade, iced tea, and fruit-infused water. For the adults, a pitcher of sangria or some cold beers can make the BBQ even more enjoyable.

Pro Grilling Tips

Preheat the Grill

Always preheat your grill for at least 10-15 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking and those lovely grill marks.

Clean the Grates

Use a grill brush to clean the grates before and after cooking to prevent sticking and ensure better flavor.

Oil the Grates

Lightly oil the grates to prevent food from sticking.

Use a Meat Thermometer

Ensure your meat is cooked to the right temperature for safety and optimal taste.

Ready to take your summer BBQ to the next level? With these grilling ideas and tips, you'll be the star of your next cookout. Enjoy your summer grilling adventures and make the most of the sunny days with family and friends. Cheers to great food and even better company!

Zen Your Space: A Beginner's Guide to Feng Shui Your Apartment

Welcome to the art of Feng Shui—a harmonious blend of energy and aesthetics that can transform your apartment into a sanctuary of balance and tranquility! At RPM Living, we believe that creating a peaceful living environment is essential for overall well-being.

Clear the Clutter

Bid farewell to chaos and welcome in serenity by decluttering your space. Feng Shui teaches us that clutter obstructs the flow of energy, so clear out any unnecessary items to create a sense of spaciousness and calm.

Let There Be Light

Illuminate your apartment with natural light and soft, ambient lighting. Open your curtains during the day to invite positive energy, and add lamps or candles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere come evening.

Balance Yin and Yang

Achieve harmony by balancing the contrasting forces of Yin (passive) and Yang (active). Incorporate a mix of soft textures and vibrant colors to create a sense of equilibrium throughout your space.

Maximize Space

Make the most of your apartment's layout by arranging furniture in a way that promotes the free flow of energy. Avoid blocking pathways and ensure that each room feels open and inviting.

Nature's Touch

Invite nature indoors with plants and greenery. Not only do plants purify the air and add visual interest, but they also symbolize growth and vitality—key principles of Feng Shui.
