The Cereal Box Hack
Cereal is a breakfast staple in many households, but those cardboard boxes aren't exactly
ideal for long-term pantry storage
. The flimsy cardboard flaps tear easily and never seem to stay closed after opening. The result? An unappealing look and cereal that dries out way too fast. If you're tired of ripped box tops and stale breakfast, here is the hack for you.

Whipped Coffee
We raised our eyebrows at first, too, but this stuff -- made from instant coffee, sugar and hot water -- looks absolutely delicious. So if you’re missing your favorite drinks, especially if they’re sugary or creamy, it’s worth giving it a try.

Flower Arranging Tips
A florist at heart? These 10 tips will help your flower arrangements last longer and have a professionally polished touch.
Tip 1: Put flowers in water as soon as you get them home. Fill buckets with tepid water, add floral preservative, and then add flowers
Tip 2: Cut an inch off the stems using a sharp knife, especially if the flowers will sit a while before being arranged. The fresh cut will help the stems absorb water better.

Know Your Weeds
Once you understand what kind of weed you're up against and it's primary method of spreading, you'll know the best technique to use to fight it with. Boiling water, liquid soap, and vinegar, if applied often, can set back weeds that grow in cracks between pavers, but for the rest of the garden, physical obliteration is the only way to deal with invaders. Don't let these pesky plants crash your garden party!

Thank you so much for adding the Victoria Park Residents Only Facebook Page. We now have over
900
residents on it! With so many of us learning about one another virtually lately I thought I would introduce myself to you.
Justine Tucker here, your Lifestyle Director! I have have worked for Victoria Park for 8 years and look forward to more time spent with you. I am a momma to a very energetic two year old little boy named Easton and a wife to a Volusia County Sergeant. I was born and raised right here in DeLand and I graduated from UCF (Go Knights!) with my Bachelors Degree in Hospitality Management. When I am not planning events you can catch me at the beach!
Nice to meet you! I look forward to meeting you in person, soon.
