Renovation!

Renovation coming soon

 

As you all know we will be undergoing some renovations in the office area/recreational area. 

This renovation will include:

-office renovation

-extending the front pool and adding new furniture

-a fitness facility

-a new internet cafe

-updated laundry facilities

We are very excited about all of these upcoming changes and hope that you are too. There will be a transition time where we will be running the office through the model home for a brief period of time. This will hopefully only be until shortly after the new year. We look forward to having a new and improved property and hope that you are too! 

We at Sierra Vista would like to thank you for being so patient with our transition into management. We know how hard it can be changing policies, procedures, and getting used to a new office staff. Luckily we really and truly care about your input and feedback. If you ever have a complaint or are unhappy with something going on with your stay here, please feel free to let our office staff know. We would like to do anything in our power to help you have a pleasurable experience in your own home. Some things are out of our power, but we're always looking to improve our service to you. 

Thank you and have a wonderful day! 

Your Sierra Vista staff :]

 

Keeping it healthy

The Importance of a Healthy Lifestyle 

There is something that has become a focal point of interest now a days I would like to address, and that is keeping up with a healthy lifestyle. 

We've all seen the transformations on social media websites. People that did the whole cross-fit challenge or Insanity workout and post those all too familiar before & afters. I'm sure at some point you have sat on Facebook stalking all of their photos and the next day decided to invest in a gym membership. If they can do it so can I!

"Health is not luck. We have an innate ability to maintain good health if we establish the optimal environment for healing."
Joel Fuhrman, MD

Did you know that 68% of all adults are overweight!? Since the 1950's the number of sedatory jobs has increased by almost 90%! This just means that we cannot rely on getting the proper physical activity needed while at work. We had to make an effort outside of work settings to be healthy and in shape. 

Here's a few exercises that don't require a gym!

 

The hardest part is getting off the couch. I would always make the excuse to cancel my gym memberships because "I only go once a month if even & I'm wasting my money." Think about it though...if you have a $30 gym membership and went 2 x a week. That's only spending less than $2 a workout. How much do you spend at Whataburger weekly? Or even on lunches during your work week? 

Cut out the bad foods & start bringing your lunches. 

Workout instead of Whataburger. 

If you do it. I'll do it.

Fall Fashion Trends

 

This fall you will see some great and unique fashion trends. In the office world black and whites will take a chic new look with bold outfits that are both simple and stylish. 

Patterns are in this season from polka dots to stripes if you want something simple to wear out in the daytime. Also use a simple bright solid handbag to add a little something extra to the outfit.

 

As we've seen lately hats are in! This style is dark and mysterious, while completely stylish!
