5 Simple Improvements You Can Make to Your Bathroom

Your bathroom is more than just a practical space in your home. It can be a sanctuary where you relax, reflect, and rejuvenate. But how do you transform this room into a haven of tranquility without spending a fortune? This guide will offer five simple improvements you can make to your bathroom to carve out a serene, inviting, and functional bathroom space.

Add New Colors to Your Walls

Freshening up the color palette in your bathroom is a simple yet effective way to give the space a brand-new look. Consider adding colors that complement your existing fixtures or selecting a calming hue that promotes relaxation.

There’s no need to go overboard. Even a few accents or a feature wall can make a significant impact. Remember to choose paints designed for humid environments to ensure your newly colored walls stand the test of time.

Install a New Showerhead

Upgrading your showerhead is another simple improvement you can make to your bathroom. With so many styles and features on the market, you can easily find a showerhead that suits your preferences.

For example, you can opt for a rainfall-style showerhead for a luxurious shower experience or one with water-saving features to stay environmentally friendly. Ensure your chosen showerhead matches the rest of your bathroom’s fixtures for a consistent look.

Improve Your Drawers With Ball-Bearing Slides

Drawer organization is essential for decluttering and maximizing your bathroom space. Ball-bearing slides are an excellent addition to your drawers that provide smoother and more efficient drawer operation.

Ball-bearing slides also prevent your drawers from experiencing harm. The best part is that this upgrade is easy to implement and readily available at local hardware stores. Make sure you review tips on installing ball-bearing drawer slides beforehand so that you avoid any issues.

Change Your Illumination

Proper lighting is essential in any bathroom. If you’re struggling with a dim or harshly lit space, it’s time to consider upgrading your lighting fixtures. Swap out old bulbs with energy-efficient LED lights. These offer longer lifespans and better illumination.

Consider incorporating multiple lighting sources, such as vanity lighting or wall sconces. These help you create different moods. This will improve your bathroom’s ambiance and enhance its functionality.

Hang a New Shower Curtain

Sometimes the simplest touches make the most significant impact. Replacing your old, worn-out shower curtain with a new, stylish one can instantly elevate your bathroom’s look. Don’t forget to invest in a quality shower liner to keep your bathroom dry and mold free.

Transforming your bathroom doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Now, it’s time to put these tips into action and start enjoying your revitalized bathroom.

Mississippi State 7, Arkansas 3

FAYETTEVILLE- It was a tough Sunday afternoon in Fayetteville following the Hogs’ lackluster loss to Mississippi State on Saturday. At seemingly the low point of the season, Arkansas just simply could not muster any offense against the Bulldogs. Mississippi State boarded their airplane for Starkville after the game with their first SEC win of the season at the expense of the Razorbacks.

Following Saturday’s loss, Arkansas head football coach Sam Pittman relieved offensive coordinator Dan Enos of his responsibilities. In a statement from the University of Arkansas, Enos is “no longer a member of the Razorbacks’ program effective immediately. Wide receivers coach and former Ohio State quarterback Kenny Guiton will take over play calling duties for the Hogs for the remainder of the season.”

Arkansas will be off on Saturday on a bye week in their schedule and will next play at Gainesville against the Florida Gators on November 4.

As for the Mississippi State loss, the highlights are few, and here they are as released by the University of Arkansas:

» DB Alfahiym Walcott is this year’s Crip Hall Award winner, which is presented to the Razorbacks’ most outstanding senior in Arkansas’ homecoming game.

» K Cam Little improved to 18-for-18 (100%) from 20-29 yards for his career with his 24-yard field goal in the first quarter.

» LB Chris Paul Jr. recorded a career high 12 stops (3 solo), including a tackle for a loss of two yards. It’s Paul Jr.’s first career game reaching double-digit tackles.

» DB Alfahiym Walcott tallied his first career INT as a Hog in the first quarter. It was his fifth career INT.

» Through eight games, the Razorback defense has recorded 12 total takeaways, including eight interceptions.

» Since the start of the 2020 campaign, the Arkansas defense has totaled 43 interceptions in 44 games.

Eagles Fall Just Short to League Undefeated Centerpoint, 28-21

Eagles Fall Just Short to League Undefeated Centerpoint, 28-21

PARIS- In a game of “what ifs” and “could ofs” the Paris Eagles lost a close game on Senior Night to the league undefeated Centerpoint Knights, 28-21. Paris had a first quarter touchdown called back on a penalty and gave up a touchdown on defense with three seconds remaining in the first half that ultimately proved to be the difference in the seven-point loss to the Knights.

Paris suffered their fourth conference loss of the season, but the Eagles are still mathematically alive for the final state playoff spot from conference 3A-4. Among the results from around the conference on Friday, the Jessieville Lions defeated Magnet Cove by the score of 30-28, giving the Panthers their third conference loss. Paris travels to Magnet Cove next week for the opportunity to defeat Magnet Cove, giving them their fourth conference loss, and pulling the Eagles into a tie with the Panthers for the final playoff spot. Paris will return home on November 3 to host Danville, and if the Eagles defeat the Little Johns, Paris would end the season potentially in a tie with Magnet Cove. Paris would have the tiebreaker advantage over the Panthers due to their head-to-head win. On an additional note, Magnet Cove travels to Glen Rose on November 3, so it is possible that Paris could finish all alone in fifth place with a Panther loss to Glen Rose.

Senior starting quarterback Maddox Watts returned on Friday to play in rotation with backup quarterback Jestin Churchman in Friday’s game with Centerpoint. The Eagles played hard and seemed to be just a play away for most of the second half from upsetting Centerpoint. The game was in stark contrast to the teams’ first meeting a year ago in Amity that saw Centerpoint cruise to a 42-7 win.

RNN Sports will be in Malvern on Friday to bring you coverage of the Eagles game at Magnet Cove. Watch for our post-game story on Sunday on our website at residentnewsnetwork.com

Photos from Friday’s game with Centerpoint will be available on Tuesday on Facebook at Paris Eagles Sports.

Congratulations to the Eagles for a great effort on Friday, and we expect to see another all-out effort at Magnet Cove to help send the Eagles to the state playoffs!

Mansfield Muscles Past Lavaca 43-19

Mansfield Muscles Past Lavaca 43-19

The Mansfield Tigers started off their 2023 campaign strong by ripping off five straight wins in a convincing fashion. Nonconference blowouts over Magazine, Paris, and Waldron with conference wins over West Fork and Lavaca had fans hungry for more. Unfortunately, the Tigers ran into a midseason buzz saw when they were edged out by Charleston and then smashed by Booneville the following week. The back-to-back losses caused critics to quickly start whispering terms like “overrated”. All of the negativeness could have flattened the team’s morale as they traveled to Lavaca on Friday, October 20th to face a scorching 6-1 Golden Arrows program. Instead, the Tigers took the naysayer’s words and regifted them back with a 43-19 golden bowed victory tied on top.

Going into the game, Lavaca’s offense boasted the most overall points scored in the 3A-1, and Mansfield’s defense held the title of least overall points allowed. Lavaca won the coin toss and elected to send their offense on the field first to try and get a step up to Mansfield early in the game. The Golden Arrows started off on target by shooting their way to two quick first downs on the Mansfield defense before the Tigers were able to force a punt. The punt set Mansfield up at the ten-yard line to start their offensive drive. With their backs against the wall and the Tigers ground-and-pound run game tactics, Lavaca thought they had Mansfield pinned. After two expected runs though, the Tigers long darted a double pass from Cole Kindle to Tyler Turnipseed for a 60-yard completion. The Tigers unfortunately coughed the ball up with a fumble on the very next play to give Lavaca the ball back. Mansfield’s defense still held strong though forcing Lavaca to punt. But not so fast, the Golden Arrows pulled out their own bag of tricks on fourth and long and ran a fake punt to earn a first down. The Tigers again held strong and were able to stuff a fourth down attempt by Lavaca to get the ball back again. It only took one play for Mansfield running back, Daniel Burton, to get the Tigers in scoring position as Burton took the ensuing handoff for a 54-yard run. Daniel Burton crossed into the end zone three plays later from ten yards out for a Tiger touchdown. Lavaca jumped offsides on the extra point attempt, so the Tigers went for a two-point conversion and were successful in setting the score at 8-0 in Mansfield’s favor at the end of the first quarter.

The Tigers jumped on Lavaca early in the second quarter with a pair of solid runs by Daniel Burton and Tyler Turnipseed. The Golden Arrows again sucked up into the back to stop the run, but Jeremy Strozier would connect with Peyton Martin on a 32-yard pass and then dumped a short pass off to Andrew Burton to keep Lavaca’s defense on their heels. Strozier and the Tigers offensive line powered over Lavaca from five yards out on a quarterback keeper for Mansfield’s second touchdown of the game. The Tigers extra point kick was no good holding the score to a 14-0 lead. Mansfield’s defense struck again on Lavaca’s next drive as Zander Walters forced a fumble on the Tigers own 35-yard line giving Mansfield the ball back again. Five plays later and another quarterback keeper by Jeremy Strozier and the Tigers were in the endzone again. The extra point kick was good setting the score at 21-0. Lavaca wasn’t about to lay down and get shut out on their senior night though. The Golden Arrows found a busted coverage in the Tigers secondary and completed a 64-yard touchdown pass. The point after kick was no good leaving the score 21-6 as the second quarter wound down. Mansfield tried to hang one more score on the Golden Arrows with seconds left in the second quarter, but a hail mary pass was intercepted and taken back 95 yards for a Lavaca touchdown. Lavaca’s two-point conversion attempt failed, but they put the Tigers on edge as the teams went into halftime with Mansfield narrowly leading Lavaca 21-12.

With momentum going into halftime favoring the Golden Arrows, Mansfield had to find a way to jump-start the second half in their favor. Lavaca kicked off to Mansfield to open the second half and it was Trey Powell who hooked up the jumper cables to the Tigers team and kicked it into overdrive with an 88-yard kick return for a Tiger touchdown. Mansfield sent Daniel Burton across the goal line to add on a two-point conversion and just like that, the Tigers were up 29-12. Mansfield’s defense again showed that they could hang with some of the top offenses as they quickly forced a three-and-out against Lavaca’s potent offense. Mansfield began to march the ball downfield when an unfortunate accident happened as tight end Cole Kindle was rolled up from behind by a falling player. The pause in the game did not result in any extra coaching, any excitement by players, or a momentum shift for either team. Instead, both teams and fans in the bleachers did what anyone should do in that situation. They all prayed. After the injury hiatus, the teams took to the field again and went back to work. Mansfield continued their drive with seven more plays before Daniel Burton rolled across the goal line from 21 yards out for a Tiger touchdown. The extra point attempt was good giving Mansfield a 36-12 lead at the end of the third quarter.

The fourth quarter was where Mansfield filed down the sharp edges of the Golden Arrows with some good old-fashioned ground-and-pound football. Daniel Burton, Tyler Turnipseed, and Andrew Burton tucked in behind a determined offensive line to work their way downfield in 18 plays to eat up a bunch of clock before Daniel Burton ran the ball into the endzone for a touchdown. The extra point kick by Ethan Martin split the uprights putting Mansfield ahead 42-12 late in the fourth quarter. Lavaca would make a push to get back into the game with a play drive for a touchdown, but the damage had already been done as Mansfield lined up in victory formation to run the clock out and earn a 42-19 win over Lavaca.

Mansfield now sits with a 3-2 conference record and an 8-2 overall record. Their conference record sits in a three tie with Lavaca and Hackett. Hackett holds the tiebreaker over Lavaca after their 42-35 comeback victory in Week2 and the Tigers also hold the head-to-head win over the Golden Arrows after Friday’s victory. With Booneville seeming to secure the 1Seed for the Playoffs and Charleston right behind them, the 3Seed could come down to the November 3rd rivalry between Mansfield and Hackett. Both teams will have to win their games next week to set up this awesome showdown, but if it does come down to the Tigers and Hornets game to determine a higher Playoff seeding, then you can bet your bottom dollar it’ll be an instant classic. But first, the Tigers will host their final home game of the season on October 27th for Senior Night against the Cedarville Pirates at 7 pm.

Avoid These Investment Mistakes

We all make mistakes in many areas of life. These mistakes are usually fairly harmless — we took a wrong turn while driving, used the wrong ingredients in a recipe and so on. But sometimes, our mistakes can be costly — especially those connected to investing.
Here are some of the most common investment mistakes:
• Too much buying and selling – Some people find it exciting to constantly buy and sell investments in the pursuit of big gains. Yet, frequent trading can work against you in a couple of ways. First, it can be expensive — if you’re always buying and selling investments, you could rack up taxes, fees and commissions. Perhaps even more important, though, excessive purchases and sales can make it difficult to follow a unified, cohesive investment strategy. Such a strategy requires, among other things, careful construction and management of an investment portfolio that’s appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. Heavy trading can disrupt this strategy.
• Failing to diversify – If you only owned one type of asset, such as growth-oriented stocks, your portfolio could take a hit when the financial markets go through a downturn. But not all investments will respond the same way to the same forces — for example, stocks and bonds can move in different directions at any given time. And that’s why it’s usually a good idea to own a mix of investments, which can include domestic and foreign stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit (CDs) and government securities. Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can help reduce the impact of market volatility, it can’t guarantee profits or protect against losses in a declining market.
• Trying to “time” the market – “Buy low and sell high” might be the original piece of investment advice, but it’s pretty hard to follow — because no one can really predict when an investment will reach “low” or “high” points. Also, trying to “time” the market in this way can lead to bad decisions, such as selling investments whose price has dropped, even if these same investments still have good business fundamentals and strong prospects.
• Not understanding what you’re investing in – If you don’t know the nature of investments when you buy them, you could set yourself up for unpleasant surprises. For example, some companies, by the very nature of their business and the type of industry they’re in, may consistently pay dividends to their investors even though their stock prices may only show relatively modest price gains over time. If you bought shares of this stock, thinking it had the potential to achieve quite substantial appreciation, you might end up disappointed.
• Making the wrong comparisons – You’re no doubt familiar with some of the most well-known investment benchmarks — the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite. But it might be counterproductive to compare your results against these indexes. If you have a diversified portfolio, you’ll own an array of investments that won’t fit into any single index or benchmark, so you won’t get an apples-to-apples comparison. You’re better off comparing your portfolio’s performance against the only benchmark that really matters — the progress you need to make to help achieve your goals.
Investing will always have its challenges — but you can help make it easier on yourself by staying away from as many mistakes as possible.
