GET YOUR SEASONAL ALLERGIES BEFORE THEY GET YOU!
As we learned from Julie’s cover letter this month, our lives and legacies are about so much more than the assets and money we leave behind for our loved ones.
Estate planning often encompasses the monetary value of one’s life. There’s a focus on who you want to entrust your finances to should something happen, who should receive your life’s savings,
and sometimes, who you pass your life’s work — such as the family farm or business — down to. These are important pieces to consider, but they shouldn’t be the only things you discuss when planning and updating your estate. Your loved ones will also crave your wisdom and guidance after you’re gone. Telling them your story, from the lessons you learned in childhood to the successes or struggles you encountered as a professional, will deepen your bond with them. You can accomplish this in a variety of ways, so choose the option that’s best for you. 1. Record Something: Leave a video, audio, or written message for your loved ones to view or listen to after you pass away. Share what you most appreciate about them and
Spring brings with it many wonderful things, like longer days, picturesque scenery, and spring break, but right alongside those good things
is something most people suffer from: allergies. While beautiful, the blooming trees and flowers make you want to stay away from the great outdoors for fear of nonstop sneezing or puffy, watery eyes. If you suffer from
allergies caused by pollen, grass, or other spring plants, take these steps to breathe a little easier.
When outside, avoid walking through areas with weeds,

shrubbery, or lots of trees as much as possible. Grass and weeds are notably problematic. The slightest breeze can send particles flying through the air in the blink of an eye. When you walk through grassy areas, pollen will get on you, your clothes, and your hair. It’s best to stick to trails, sidewalks, and other paved areas.

If you do find yourself inundated with pollen or other allergens, your next best bet is to establish an at-home decontamination protocol. Take your shoes off at the door and make sure your clothes don’t come in contact with soft surfaces such as carpet, upholstery, or bedding. Take care to wash your “pollinated” clothes as soon as possible and wash your sheets and pillowcases weekly. Next, head for the shower. The sooner you can wash away the allergens, the better. Finally, don’t forget to replace the air filter in your home’s air system in the spring. Consider using an air filter designed to capture allergens. If your allergies are particularly troublesome, invest in a dedicated air filtration system or unit. While you can opt for portable, stand-alone air purifiers, there are larger systems that can be incorporated into your heating and air system that keep your entire home’s air free of most, if not all, common allergens.
