Create aSafer

Bathroom

According to the National Safety Council, approximately 70percent of all accidents occurring in the home happen in thebathroom accounting for nearly 200,000 accidents each year.

While its dif cult to eliminate risks entirely, you can make yourbathroom safer for the whole family by following a few simplesteps: Choose a textured oor. The splish and splash of taking abath often leads to slippery surfaces. When choosing ooringfor a bathroom, avoid slick surfaces like porcelain and granite,and look for textured choices with better traction. If ceramic isa must, look for certi ed slip-resistant options. When in doubt,opt for smaller bathroom tiles. The more grout lines, the moreresistance your ooring will offer.

Make it level. You don't need a large, walk-in shower to getone with a low threshold. As trips can be as dangerous as slips,look for a safe shower pan that is level with the oor, making iteasy to step inside.

Get a grip. Installing grab bars in the shower and next to thetub is a good idea for everyone, but it's especially important forthose looking to stay in their home as they age. Some products,such as the new Decor Assist accessories and Decorative ADA-compliant Grab Bars from Delta, exceed ADA load requirementsand come in a variety of designs and nishes to coordinate withany aesthetic.

Keep kids in mind. Locks for every style of cabinet or drawerare readily available at local hardware stores. If you have smallchildren (or if they visit), remember to lock away medications,

small electrical appliances and cleaning supplies. Above all,never leave children unattended in the bath or shower.

Don't get burned. Water heater thermostats can be preset upto 140 degrees, a temperature that can easily burn sensitiveskin. Reduce the risk of burns by setting your water heater to120 degrees. For added peace of mind, install a shower sys-tem that provides a digital temperature read out. Some showerheads and hand showers, such as the new options from DeltaFaucet with Temp2O Technology, indicate the temperature of thewater via an LED color indicator, as well as a digital numericalreadout, and can be installed within minutes.

No matter what age or stage of life, mishaps can happen toanyone and making a few simple adjustments could make all ofthe difference for your familys safety in the bathroom.

SqueakyClean Tips

For many families, clothing represents the largest share of back-to-school expenses each year. The amount of money that goesinto a new school wardrobe paired with the reality that kids tendto be careless about their stained clothing can be daunting, butwith proper care, you can take steps to better protect your invest-ment.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately $8.5 billionwas spent in family clothing stores in August 2012, the latestdata available. This compares to approximately $2 billion spent inbookstores during the same timeframe, highlighting the signi cantinvestment families make in new clothing to send kids back-to-school in style.

You can keep your familys clothes in tip-top shape year-round by

following the advice of the maker of OxiClean:Start fresh. New clothes, especially those that are deeply hued,are notorious for bleeding dye during their initial washings.Protect new garments, and old ones too, by grouping like-colorednew items and washing them according to tag instructions. Evenclothing that is not at risk of bleeding should be washed beforewearing to remove any potential irritants and germs accumulatedthrough handling on store racks.

Take pre-wash precautions. Give clothing a quick scan beforetossing it in the washer to identify and pretreat any stains beforetheyve been washed, dried and set into the fabric. Also checkpockets for any overlooked items. Shredding tissue or a leakingpen can lead to more time spent washing and cleaning clothes.

Help keep clothes looking like new longer. Kids clothes attractstains like honey attracts bees. With a quality detergent, you cankeep your whites bright and colors vibrant while ghting eventough, dried-on stains. For getting rid of stains such as grass, soil,chocolate and tomato sauce, try OxiClean Laundry Detergent inliquid, single-dose paks or powder. It combines powerful, color-safe OxiClean stain ghters, whiteners and a long-lasting freshscent to deep-clean and freshen your whole wash.

Sort and learn. Get the kids involved after school or on the week-ends and invite them to help out with simple, age-appropriatelaundry tasks. Have them help sort clothes by colors or matchpairs of socks when they come out of the dryer.

Share the load. Most families have a fairly consistent way ofgrouping loads of laundry whites, darks, linens and so on. Makea list of your most common loads and instructions for handlingeach, and post it in your laundry room so others can help whenthe need arises. Be sure to include details such as the properdetergents and pre-treaters to use and settings for temperatureand cycle for both the washer and dryer. As safety is rst, alwaystriple-check that all detergents are out of reach of children.

The past few years, our parents, grandparents and other lovedones have faced increasing struggles in performing formerlyroutine tasks. As their struggles and frustration grew, we cameto realize that many of the products they had used for most oftheir lives were no longer appropriate to their current needs.

If You Build It, They Will Come to service the burgeoning num-ber of elderly consumers, stores, and departments for seniorswill soon emerge as part of America's new retail landscape, saysJo Ann Tilghman, founder of Granny Jo Products located inLAKELAND, Fla.

If you walk into any department store and ask the nearest sales-person to point the way to the 'Infant Section' or the 'MissesSection,' chances are you will get a pleasant smile and somesimple directions. But walk into that same store and ask thesame salesperson how to get to the 'Seniors Department,' andwatch the confusion ood over their face. Why? Because de-spite the fact that, at more than 110-million-strong, baby boom-ers and seniors represent the single largest consumer group in

America, most retailers have not yet gured out the wisdomof providing these aging shoppers with their own designateddepartments; Or even their own designated end-cap displays.

"It won't be much longer before the retail industry wakes up tothe buying power of seniors," said Jo Ann Tilghman, founder ofGranny Jo Products, a wholesaler and online retailer of high-quality products designed to help seniors stay active, indepen-dent, comfortable and fashionable. "As boomers continue tomarch into the 65-and-older senior category at a rate of 8,000per day*, we're going to see a sudden scramble as retailers raceto provide products and product modi cations that match theneeds and wants of their aging customers." As an example ofhow the needs of senior shoppers are currently being ignored byretailers and their suppliers, Tilghman points out that the vastmajority of adult clothing lines completely disregard the maturebody shape of the senior woman.

"In order for clothing to t comfortably around the waist, skirtsand slacks must often be purchased in a larger size than isreally required," said Tilghman. "Then the garment ts aroundthe waist but hangs unattractively elsewhere." Senior men, shesays, face a similar struggle if they develop a paunch belly: thegarment ts over the middle but it is too big elsewhere. TheLakeland, Florida-based company has enjoyed steady 20 percent

year-over-year growth since its launch in 2008, chie y becauseshe and her customer service team listen closely to the problemsseniors are experiencing when shopping for retail products andmake it their business to provide affordable solutions, Tilghmansaid."Our mission is to provide products that address and resolvespeci c issues seniors are having daily, and by doing so improvetheir quality of life and their enjoyment of life," said Tilghman.It was her desire to provide a simple solution for her own agingmother that resulted in the development of the company's Dig-nity Mug: a double-handled mug for those who no longer havethe strength or dexterity to hold a mug with one hand. The itemis now one of the company's perennial best sellers.

"Seniors should be aware that as a group they wield consider-able economic clout. Their comments and requests to storemanagement, if repeated often enough, will result in improve-ments in store inventory and in the way that inventory isdisplayed," said Tilghman. "Before long, the smart, customer-friendly grocery stores and department stores will have an aislefeaturing senior products and portion sizes. They will no longerrequire their aging customers to hunt up one aisle and down thenext looking for the items targeted for their use."

Asked if she sees senior superstores appearing on the retailhorizon, Tilghman nods in af rmation. "A dedicated 'Seniors'retail outlet intelligently stocked with items that seniors reallyfound useful would be the rst place most of us would go tobuy gifts for aging friends and relatives," said Tilghman. "If theaisles and racks were properly spaced to allow access by shop-pers using walkers and motorized carts, a 'Seniors R Us' couldbe the hotspot for the town's senior community. Include a fewinvestment seminars, weekly indoor gardening workshops, andan occasional antique/classic car show, and your problem wouldbe not how to attract senior shoppers to the store, but how toprovide them all with parking."

We believe that small changes will make a huge difference intheir lives. At Granny Jo Products we have developed our ownline of products to help the people we love stay active, indepen-dent, comfortable and fashionable.

Chocolate Journeys, the lines new onboardchocolate experience will entice guests with an impressive arrayof onboard chocolate offerings among which are custom-crafteddesserts, chocolate and wine pairings, and exquisite chocolatebites created by one of the top names in artisan chocolate.

Since debuting Norman Love Confections in 2001 after a no-table career as a pastry chef for many luxury resorts, Love hassince received wide-spread recognition for his hand-crafted,chocolate-making artistry including being named as one of the

Around the world theres incredible passion for chocolate, as ev-idenced by ever-growing consumption and the plethora of spe-cialty varieties, said Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises.

So were excited to partner with one of the best chocolatiers inthe world to bring some additional moments of decadence anddelight to our guests with truly amazing chocolate experiencesthat we know theyll love!

CHOCOLATE JOURN


187/200

Swartz added that she believes the partnership with Norman Lovewas meant to be, because of the line's close association with theiconic TV show "The Love Boat" and Princess' reputation for ro-mance. "Based on his name alone this is a perfect match," she said.

In a recent national survey conducted by the cruise line about peo-ples passion for chocolate, Princess found that 58 percent of wom-en would choose chocolate over sex; 69 percent surveyed havefrequent chocolate cravings; 53 percent surveyed would turn tochocolate over a friend when feeling sad; two thirds surveyed (67percent) eat chocolate more often when theyre happy than whentheyre stressed; 81 percent agree that chocolate improves theirmood; and 84 percent would like to receive chocolate as a gift.

One thing is for certain, chocolate makes people happy, said Love. So what I create and what Princess Cruises offers its guests arequite similar what could make people smile more than savoringdecadent chocolate creations while enjoying their cruise vacation?I think we have a winning combination.

Love has personally trained Princess Cruises pastry team to deliverthis unprecedented chocolate experience across the companyseet of ships.

Decadent Desserts Norman Love has produced 15 chocolatedessert designs for Princess Cruises that will be offered on a rota-tional basis in the ships main dining rooms, specialty restaurants(Sabatinis and Crown Grill) and Chefs Table experience.
