QUESTIONS: 1. Why is it a smart idea for homeowners to consider
buying and installing a home safe? 2. What items do you

and what types of features do you recommend homeowners choose
when shopping for a home safe? (E.g., fire-rated,

key access, etc.) 4. Do you recommend homeowners choose two or
more different kinds of safes for different purposes (e.g., a
safe just to conceal a handgun, a safe for crucial documents,
etc.)? 5. What considerations should homeowners make carefully
before selecting and investing in a safe ? 6. What realistic
expectations should homeowners have when it comes to a safe? 7.

even if that means simply equipping it with the TV and new
furniture? Is this a growing trend today, if so why? 2. Why is
it important to very carefully pick the right furniture for your

here - including comfort, convenience, appearance, durability,

theater room/TV room and why? How would you place/arrange the

efficiency? 5. What reasonable expectations should homeowners
have regarding the lifespan of TV room/home theater room
furniture? How often is this type of furniture typically
replaced and why? 6. What low to high budget range should
homeowners expect to pay for home theater/TV room furniture and
why? 7. Any other thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this topic?

I've previously covered the psychology of why New Year's
resolutions often fail, and this year I'm doing another story on
resolutions, but it'll be focused on actions you can take that
are actually worth making, are a bit outside the box, and could
really improve your life/mental health.
For instance: finally stop social media stalking your ex, do a
social media cleanse (unfollow everyone who makes you feel
less-than), agree that you won't go on a restrictive new
year/new body diet ever again, get a therapist, buy clothes that
you love that fit now instead of hoping to fit into old small
ones, only do exercise that you actually enjoy, etc.
I'm looking for "resolution" suggestions from mental health
professionals (and other qualified experts) that go directly
against the typical diet/workout/financial resolutions (and they
can be a bit cheeky) but that could really help a person live a
better life in some way.
Requirements:
Please send: 1. Your "resolution" suggestion(s) 2. Why/how they
can benefit people and any tips you have for putting them into
practice. I may follow up with additional questions.

I'm looking for expert commentary on the trends it has
identified.
I need designers who can comment on the trends and how people
can implement them in their own homes. Alongside your response,
please include a short bio and a link to your website.
For each trend, please share why it is becoming more popular,
what it brings to your home and how people might implement this
trend in their own space.
Here are the Pinterest trends for 2021, with a link to a
Pinterest board with examples of each:
1. Vibey lights Pinners will reinvent their bedrooms with
bright, color-drenched lighting for majorly moody looks. LED
