2022 is here, and we at Evolve couldn’t be more ready for it! It’s been a wild couple of years, and it feels good to turn yet another page on a new chapter! A new year means dedicating time to bringing new energy and habits into your life! Some of the best things about apartment living are the amazing amenities right at your fingertips. With a new year in full force, we’re here to break down some of our favorite ways to utilize amenities so that you can bring your New Year’s resolutions to life!

Meditate in the yoga room

If you feel like you don’t have time to meditate, chances are you really need to meditate. It can seem daunting though, especially if you live with pets, your partner, or other family members. With lots of distractions around, it makes sitting down in silence even more challenging.

At Evolve, our communities offer a Yoga Room for you to practice, do Pilates, or sit in silence for meditation with no crazy distractions around you. Set a timer for just ten minutes and see what happens!

Sweat in the gym

If working out seems boring to you, Evolve’s state-of-the-art fitness centers are here to make things exciting. From treadmills and bikes to kettlebells and dumbbells, there’s something for everyone, no matter what you need. Getting physical should be fun! If you’ve set an intention for yourself to sweat more this year, you’re in the right place.

Spend more time outside

Getting more vitamin D and fresh air is likely on a lot of our resolution lists in 2022. If we’ve learned anything over these last two years, it’s the importance of getting outdoors—particularly when it seems like you’ve been couped up for far too long!

Evolve communities are awesome about diversifying what’s available outdoor for residents. From casual seating areas to catch up with friends to communal herb gardens and dog parks, you’re sure to find a way to get outside this year!

Read a book in the clubhouse

Reading more is such a sweet and simple resolution that often gets overlooked. Who feels like they have time to read for pleasure anymore?! But when you’ve got a beautiful clubhouse to relax in, setting aside more time for reading feels a little more manageable. Jot down a list of books you want to read this year and cross them off as you go! Kick up your feet and get cozy!

Grill out with friends

If you feel like you missed out on a lot of the warm weather festivities last year with friends, 2022 might just be your year! When the cold days are behind us and the sun starts peeking out more often, grab your close group of friends and head to the grilling stations. Fresh air and home-cooked food can go a long way!

Simplify your space to evolve

Happy New Year, friends! With 2020 in the rearview, we at Evolve know now more than ever how exciting a new chapter is for this next year. After spending so much time at home this past year, we learned how important it is to create our own personal oasis right where you are. In 2021, we’re looking forward to simplifying our space in order to create more room to evolve! Check out these 5 ways to simplify your apartment home in 2021. Get ready to grow with us!

Start with bite-sized pieces

Keep it small at first! Start with just five minutes a day. Toss out all of the junk mail and random papers that always seem to pile up for no reason. Sometimes the extra layer of clutter that coats the surface can keep us from seeing what’s underneath that needs to go! This is why we love starting with trash and smaller items that you don’t have to think too hard about letting go of.

Keep surfaces clear

We love this idea, particularly in the kitchen. Keeping all of your surfaces clear allows you to figure out what you actually use on a daily / regular basis. Be intentional with the items you display. Evolve communities feature beautiful solid-surface countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms that want to be seen!

Clean out your closets

Ah, the closets! These can feel pretty overwhelming at times—particularly if this is where all of your extra items end up. Try starting with your least intimidating closet. This might be your coat or linen closet. We love pulling out everything, so we have a really clear look at what’s there. Have your trash bag or empty box ready for all of the things you want to donate. And don’t be afraid to be ruthless! Now is your chance to be honest about what you use or wear, and what you don’t. We’re big fans of using cute rattan bins or baskets for additional storage and organization!

Does it bring you joy?

We love this classic Marie Kondo question. It’s particularly helpful for the more decorative items sprinkled throughout your apartment home. You may not even notice some of them are there anymore because they have been for so long! This is when it’s super important to check in with each item—ask yourself if it brings you joy, or if it’s just there? If there’s no joy, let it go.

Learn to say no!

We’re all about boundaries, baby! When you’ve simplified your apartment home, learning to say no is the best way to keep your space exactly the way you want it. Accumulating random decor or clothes you’ll never wear will put you back at square one. Keep the things that match your personality and needs, and only add new items when they feel right to help keep your space simple and intentional.

How are you simplifying your apartment home?

Give yourself space to evolve in 2021 and clear out the things you don’t need! We’d love to see how you’re simplifying your apartment home this year. Be sure to tag us on IG to show us how you #evolvethewayyoulive.
