Christmas is only a week away. If you still don’t have a solid plan on how to host that holiday party everyone is looking forward to, then here are some great tips to help you lighten the load.
Create food beforehand
If you’ve decided to host a cocktail party, put together a list of the appetizers you’d like to serve. We suggest using recipes that can be made in advance, which will save you time and energy on the day of the party. Source: MarthaStewart
Set the mood with good music
Very little has the impact on a scene like the music selection, and mellow is the epitome of elegance. You want to create a setting for guests so that they spend their evening relaxed and comfortable, and the tempo of the music you choose will play a large part in that. But mind you, you don’t want them to get so comfortable that they fall asleep. A tasteful playlist for an elegant Christmas party could include a mix of traditional Christmas songs and some classic jazz thrown in to keep the tempo up. Source: Lifestyle.HowStuffWorks
Keep the food warm in the oven
“A 200-degree oven works as a warming drawer,” says Kelsey Nixon, the host of Kelsey’s Essentials, on the Cooking Channel. This also frees up counter space and provides insurance that your food won’t burn if you forget to take it out. Source: RealSimple
Delegate tasks
Share out tasks between the family to ensure a hassle-free evening. One person could be in charge of laying the table, whilst another takes care of drinks – allowing you to focus on food preparation. Be appreciative of everyone’s effort – encouragement and praise can go a long way! Source: GoodHousekeeping
Did you know that one of the things people notice most upon entering a home is the floor? Don’t let your carpet become the talk of the town due to its dinginess. Have it cleaned or repaired before your party. Call us today!

When installing carpet on your floor, it’s best to let the professionals handle it. However, you still must choose the right contractor for the job because poor installation can result in the following problems:
Buckling or Rippling
When a wall-to-wall carpet is installed, it must be stretched tightly and then is secured in place with tack strips along the edges of the carpet. If the installer has not stretched the carpet tightly enough, it may loosen slightly, which could cause it to ripple. Ideally, carpet should be stretched during the installation using a power stretcher, which will reduce the chances of buckling.
If the carpet is being installed in an area in which the conditions are significantly different than where it was previously stored (for example, from an unheated warehouse to a heated home), then the carpet should be allowed to acclimate before installation. This should reduce the possibility of buckling. Source:TheSpruce
Loosening of Seams
Inspect the seams where the carpet meets the walls, baseboards, doorways or other types of flooring. If you see frayed or loose edges that aren’t neatly tucked under the walls, floorboards or transitional carpet strips, the carpet isn’t installed well. Carpet installers often secure edges with additional tacks, carpet tape, transition strips or adhesives to reduce the likelihood of carpet separating from the wall or unraveling at the corners. Contact the installer to repair any unsightly seams. Source:HomeGuides.SFGate
Bubbling
It’s a common situation for homeowners to have their carpet cleaned only for it to dry and bubbles to emerge. While they might think the cleaning was to blame, this is far more often the result of carpet that was not properly stretched before it was installed. This problem can easily be averted by pulling and stretching the carpet over carpet tacks. Source:TheSpruce

The company will hold a conference call with management on Monday, December 2
VANCOUVER, BC, and PHOENIX, AZ, November 29, 2019 – 4Front Ventures Corp. (CSE: FFNT) (OTCQX: FFNTF) (“4Front” or the “Company”), an operator of strategically aligned cannabis-related businesses, including cultivation, production and retail operations, today released its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 (“Q3 2019”).
The Company’s Q3 2019 financial statements are the first to consolidate results from 4Front Holdings LLC (“4Front Holdings”) and Cannex Capital Holdings, Inc. (“Cannex”), which completed a merger on July 31, 2019. Q3 2019 includes Cannex operations from July 31, 2019, through September 30, 2019.
All dollar amounts herein are references to U.S. dollars.
Q3 2019 Financial Results Highlights
As previously reported, Systemwide Pro Forma Revenue, a non-IFRS measure, of $16,902,029, an increase of more than 20% over the previous quarter’s $14,058,442
As previously reported, IFRS Revenue of $7,517,621
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure, was a loss of $4,610,917
Net Income was a loss of $6,864,420**
The Company ended the quarter with $12.4 million of cash and anticipates ending November with approximately $13 million in available cash and undrawn loan commitments.
(Please see Note Regarding Non-IFRS Measures, Reconciliation, and Discussion below.) (*Please see the Financial Statement section below, and the Company’s Q3 2019 Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis, available under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, for more information.)
“These reported results reflect the initial consolidation of 4Front and Cannex operations and I’m proud of our collective teams’ efforts to support the integration of our two organizations and navigate the inherent changes that come with mergers. I couldn’t be more pleased with how the team has come together and has us prepared to capitalize on the opportunities in our dynamic industry,” said Josh Rosen, CEO of 4Front. “We have been, and intend to continue to be, aggressive, but prudent. As our President, Kris Krane, and I have noted in the past, our perspective is that we view the industry more like the game of Risk rather than Monopoly. In this capital markets environment, this means an even greater emphasis on strategic capital allocation, tighter spending controls, and prioritization of projects. We’re built for this.”
Q3 Operational Milestones and Updates
The integration of 4Front and Cannex is complete. Operational leadership and accountability have been streamlined across all three business divisions—Brightleaf, Mission, and Pure Ratios—positioning the Company to support the anticipated acceleration of growth in 2020
Brightleaf, 4Front’s cultivation and production division, introduced the first set of Cannex brands into the Massachusetts market
First harvest in Brightleaf’s Worcester, Mass., cultivation facility post-Cannex merger
Mission opened a dispensary in Catonsville, Maryland, the fourth Mission dispensary in the state
Pure Ratios’ THC-enhanced product line re-introduced into the California market in partnership with Caliva
The Company continued to progress on its key infrastructure projects, including its manufacturing facility in Commerce, California, the optimization of its vertically integrated facility in Georgetown, Massachusetts, and the adult-use preparations for Mission retail in Massachusetts, Illinois, and Michigan
4Front expanded its executive team with the hiring of Brad Kotansky as Chief Financial Officer and Alicia Mandel as Chief Human Performance Officer. In addition, it strengthened its finance team with the addition of Nicolle Dorsey as EVP of Finance.
Key Projects and Financial Guidance
“After a review of our existing license portfolio, capital spending plans and, importantly, the respective anticipated returns on invested capital, we have optimized our near-term plans to focus on driving revenue and profitability in 2020 without sacrificing the most attractive additional opportunities that support our long-term vision,” said CFO Brad Kotansky. “We’re fortunate to have an agile platform that didn’t overextend, which allows us to prioritize our spending, leaving only modest capital requirements to demonstrate meaningful growth and performance. We’ve set achievable expectations and should the access to and cost of capital improve, we have numerous opportunities in hand to accelerate our growth beyond our guidance.”
Mr. Rosen added: “While we see strong growth opportunities across our portfolio and we remain confident in our access to capital, we are less enthusiastic about the current cost of capital. As meaningful shareholders ourselves, we believe a more measured approach to near-term capital spending is in our shareholders’ best interest. Our financial guidance for 2020 and 2021 assumes we raise $30 million of external funding to support the completion of our infrastructure and near-term optimization plans in California, Massachusetts, and Illinois, and ongoing working capital. This should allow us, with some cushion, to achieve positive cash flow in the second half of 2020. We have a strong, supportive and aligned core stakeholder base, which gives us a high degree of confidence in our ability to support our capital needs and I look forward to providing updates on our progress over the coming months.”
4Front is providing the following guidance for 2020 and 2021:
Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to inflect positive in the second half of 2020 due to an increase in sales volumes, primarily in Massachusetts and California.
The Company believes the foregoing guidance is reasonable given the current developments in the Company’s businesses and accelerating growth in cannabis markets in which the Company operates. However, the foregoing guidance is subject to the following assumptions and risks:
The Company’s ability to raise up to $30 million in capital;
The timing of completion of the Company’s infrastructure projects, including those ongoing at Georgetown, Massachusetts and Commerce, California, within budgeted cost;
Certain pricing assumptions for cannabis products in California, Massachusetts, and other markets in which the Company operates;
The Company’s ability to continue to develop wholesale sales relationships in markets in which it is introducing products, such as California and Massachusetts;
The Company’s subsidiaries, or entities with which the Company has managed services agreements or effectively similar arrangements, ability to attain and retain recreational cannabis licensing.*
(*Please see the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements below for more information regarding risks to the Company’s business.)
Additional Details
As of close of business today, 4Front would have a basic total of 530,852,417 shares outstanding, when calculated as if all share classes were converted to Subordinate Voting Shares, and a fully diluted total of 536,475,437[1] shares when calculated on the same basis.

Note Regarding Non-IFRS Measures, Reconciliation, and Discussion
In this press release, 4Front refers to certain non-IFRS financial measures such as Systemwide Pro Forma Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. 4Front defines Systemwide Pro Forma Revenue as total revenue plus revenue from entities with which the Company has a management contract, or effectively similar relationship (net of any management fee or effectively similar revenue), but does not consolidate the financial results of per IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements. 4Front considers this measure to be an appropriate indicator of the growth and scope of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization less share-based compensation expense and one-time charges related to acquisition and financing related costs. 4Front considers these measures to be an important indicator of the financial strength and performance of our business. The following tables provide a reconciliation of each of the non-IFRS measures to its closest IFRS measure.

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
Certain statements contained in this release constitute “forward-looking information” and “forward looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking information”), which are based upon the Company’s current internal expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and beliefs. Statements concerning the Company’s objectives, goals, strategies, intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations and estimates, and the business, operations, future financial performance and condition of the Company is forward-looking information. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “may”, “will”, “would” and similar expressions, including the negative and grammatical variations of such expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking information, although not all forward-looking information contains these identifying words. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information.
By their nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts and projections that constitute forward-looking information will not occur.

While the Company currently believes the guidance for 2020 and 2021 to be reasonable, it is subject to a number of assumptions and risks, including but not limited to the following:
The Company’s ability to raise up to $30M in capital;
The timing of completion of the Company’s infrastructure projects, including those ongoing at Georgetown, MA and Commerce, CA, within budgeted cost;
Certain pricing assumptions for cannabis products in California, Massachusetts, and other markets in which the Company operates;
The Company’s ability to continue to develop wholesale sales relationships in markets in which it is introducing products, such as California and Massachusetts;
The Company’s subsidiaries, or entities with which the Company has managed services agreements or effectively similar arrangements, ability to attain and retain recreational cannabis licensing.
The Company’s accurate estimation of its current and future tax liability, taking into account limitations posed by Internal Revenue Code Section 280E, which significantly limits deductions which may be taken by cannabis businesses.
The Company is not providing guidance on net income or earnings before income taxes because such IFRS measures will be subject to potentially wide fluctuations outside of the Company’s control and ability to accurately forecast, particularly with respect to the Company’s derivative liabilities, which are largely a function of the price of its publicly-traded subordinate voting shares.
Although 4Front Ventures has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, there can be other factors that cause results, performance or achievements not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended, including, but not limited to: there can be no assurance that capital will be raised on desirable terms or at all, the Company may not meet its projections based on the risk factors set out above, capital projects may not be completed on the planned schedule or at all, capital projects being completed within budget, dependence on obtaining and/or retaining regulatory approvals, a potential change in laws could significantly impact the Company’s ability to do business, the Company’s limited operating history, market growth and state adoption may be hindered due to inconsistent public opinion and perception of the medical-use and adult-use marijuana industry, significant market disruption as jurisdictions in which the Company operates implement “track and trace” systems which track product from seed to sale in regulated markets, the Company’s failure to correctly estimate or pay its federal income taxes, change in the U.S. Internal Revenue Service regulations or guidance regarding Section 280E and cannabis-related businesses which could materially change the Company’s current or expected tax burden, and other regulatory or political change.

Company will release full financial results November 29, 2019, and host a conference call Monday, December 2, prior to market open
VANCOUVER, BC, and PHOENIX, AZ, Nov. 12, 2019 – 4Front Ventures Corp. (CSE: FFNT) (OTCQX: FFNTF) (“4Front” or the “Company”) is providing preliminary Systemwide Pro Forma Revenue, as well as preliminary revenue, for its third quarter ended September 30, 2019 (“Q3 2019”). Q3 2019 financial results are the first to incorporate the financial results of assets previously owned by Cannex Capital Holdings, Inc., which completed its merger with 4Front on July 31, 2019.
Based on preliminary information, and subject to potential accounting adjustments, 4Front’s Q3 2019 Systemwide Pro Forma Revenue was $16,902,029, an increase of more than 20% over the last quarter ($14,058,442), as disclosed in its release dated August 29, 2019. The Company regards Systemwide Pro Forma Revenue, a non-IFRS measure, as an appropriate indicator of the economic scale of its business. (Please see discussion of this Non-IFRS measure below.) The Company is also announcing preliminary IFRS revenue of $7,517,621 for Q3 2019.
“We continued to make significant strides through the third quarter of 2019 driven both by our integration with Cannex and organic development of our operations,” said Josh Rosen, CEO of 4Front. “While the revenue growth is important, the future success of this company is being driven forward by the operational milestones we continue to achieve.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
4Front uses Systemwide Pro Forma Revenue, which is not a measurement included in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), to capture total revenue plus revenue from entities with which the Company has a management contract, or effectively similar relationship (net of any management fee or effectively similar revenue), but does not consolidate the financial results of per IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, plus revenue from pending and closed acquisitions as if such acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2019. 4Front considers this measure to be an appropriate indicator of the growth and scope of the business. The following table provides a reconciliation of Systemwide Pro Forma Revenue to its closest IFRS measure.

Recent hires and departures prioritize driving performance in adult-use markets and improved supply chain and vendor management
VANCOUVER, BC, and PHOENIX, AZ, November 1, 2019 – 4Front Ventures Corp. (CSE: FFNT) (OTCQX: FFNTF) (“4Front” or the “Company”), has recently made a number of key additions to its leadership and operations teams as it prioritizes execution in adult-use markets. The Company is also announcing the granting of options to independent board members and the departures of certain team members.
This crop of new hires and promotions is largely aimed at increasing the Company’s emphasis on managing supply chain and vendor relationships, which are critical ingredients for both product manufacturing and retail success in nascent, often constrained, cannabis markets.
“As adult-use markets gain momentum East of the Mississippi, where the majority of our retail operations exist, including in the key states of Illinois and Massachusetts, we are putting in place the people and systems to allow the company to capitalize on the market opportunities ahead of us, including the integration of the 4Front and Cannex teams,” said Josh Rosen, 4Front CEO. “It’s also become increasingly apparent that our retail heritage in California and production heritage in Washington, including our understanding of the importance of collaboration within the supply chain, is growing in applicability.”
Regarding the rapid growth of the 4Front team, Mr. Rosen commented: “We are often finding that hiring from within the maturing cannabis industry is a more effective approach to growing our team, although we also anticipate continuing to augment our team with talent from other industries.”
New hires, promotions and departures include:
The additions of Josh Krane and Timeka Drew to expand 4Front’s team in California as 4Front continues development of its City of Commerce production facility and looks to develop a retail footprint, including 4Front’s support of social equity applicants. Both Josh and Timeka were most recently with FIELD, a high-end cannabis extract company in California—Josh as Director of Operations and Timeka as Director of Compliance. The Company also recently added Shanif Sims in an operational leadership role to support the rapid growth of Pure Ratios, 4Front’s San Diego-based wellness brand.
The additions of Seth Gilligan and JT Archer in operations positions at Brightleaf, 4Front’s cultivation and production division. Seth brings extensive experience managing supply chains, including during stints at Amazon and Nordstrom, to improving the management of Brightleaf’s non-cannabis supply chain, and JT brings his infrastructure and complex project management skills to the development of 4Front’s new cultivation and production facilities.
The hiring of two former Northwest Cannabis Solutions (“NWCS”) employees to assist Brightleaf as it expands into new markets. Davis Tea, NWCS’ former CEO, is focusing on leading and supporting the cultivation and manufacturing general managers in Massachusetts and Illinois. Also joining the Brightleaf team is Moisey Fokina, who had previously run operations at NWCS’ Tumwater, Wash., production facility and helped lead construction of Brightleaf’s second-generation cultivation facility in Elma, Wash., which generates yields of >400 grams per sq. ft. Moisey will contribute his expertise to 4Front’s cultivation and production infrastructure projects.
The promotions of Joe Feltham and Mark Passerini to leadership roles supporting the operations at Mission, 4Front’s retail division, and overall cannabis supply chain management across the organization. Joe is a longtime 4Front team member, who previously served as Chief of Staff to 4Front CEO Josh Rosen and Mark is a cannabis industry pioneer, founding Om of Medicine, a medical cannabis dispensary, in Ann Arbor, Mich., in 2010.
In addition, Kris Krane, 4Front’s Co-Founder and President, is taking on the role of President of Mission.
4Front is also announcing the departures of some team members: Glenn Backus, former President of Mission; Leise Rosman, Chief Growth Officer of 4Front; and Dave Croom, former CFO of Brightleaf and originally CFO of Cannex Capital Holdings, Inc.
“Glenn was instrumental in providing vision and structure to our Mission retail operations,” said Mr. Rosen. “As we transition to an increased emphasis on the supply chain and vendor relationships that enable retail execution, I’m pleased that Kris Krane has stepped in to become President of Mission. Kris and Mark Passerini will be spending significant amounts of time in market with our teams at Mission’s retail locations, which are currently spread across seven states.
“Leise has been a key member of the 4Front family, having joined Kris and I not long after we founded the company in 2011. She has been instrumental in establishing 4Front’s platform and credibility within the industry,” said Mr. Rosen.
Mr. Rosen continued, “Dave provided the financial backbone for Cannex. With the recent addition of our new CFO, Brad Kotansky, 4Front’s financial management capabilities are largely being centralized in our Phoenix headquarters.”
“I’d like to thank Glenn, Leise and Dave for their valuable contributions to 4Front,” said Mr. Rosen.
Options Grant
4Front is also announcing that it has granted a total of 1.2 million stock options, on an as-converted-to-subordinate-voting-share basis, to its two recently announced independent board members: Betty Aldworth and Kathi Lentzsch (600,000 to each). On an as-converted basis, these options are being granted with a strike price of $0.80 CAD, consistent with other recent options grants.

The introduction of Marmas and Pebbles branded edibles to the Massachusetts market marks the initial implementation of Cannex’s operational capabilities in a new market (outside Washington State)
Adult-use approval at two Massachusetts facilities anticipated imminently
VANCOUVER, B.C., and PHOENIX, Ariz., October 21, 2019 – 4Front Ventures Corp. (CSE: FFNT) (OTCQX: FFNTF) (“4Front” or the “Company”) announces that, following the closing of its merger with Cannex on July 31, the company has moved quickly to take Cannex’s battle-tested operating capabilities, now part of 4Front’s production and manufacturing division Brightleaf, and apply them to the Massachusetts market.
“To say I am proud of my team is an understatement,” said Leo Gontmakher, 4Front COO. “Taking advantage of our pre-merger planning work, we formally took over 4Front’s production and processing operations in August. By late September, we had introduced Marmas and Pebbles, two of our most successful edibles brands, to the Massachusetts’ medical cannabis market. Most importantly to me, we successfully replicated the low-cost production methods we developed in Washington.
“In addition, we started the first fully supervised harvest based on our improvements to our Worcester, Mass., facility—the processes and genetics are proving to be robust for yield and the initial quality looks great. There is much more work to do, but to see the team coming together and the tangible operational progress gives me confidence in our capabilities to execute on our plans to bring our efficient production of consistent, quality products to new markets.”
“We are executing against a simple strategy: bringing highly efficient and battle-tested operating capabilities to nascent markets,” said Josh Rosen, CEO of 4Front. “In this case, Leo and team were able to quickly implement these capabilities in a new market to achieve stellar initial results.”
Regarding adult-use approval for its facilities in Massachusetts, Rosen said, “We are appreciatively entering what appears to be the ‘final final’ stages of obtaining adult-use permission in our Massachusetts facilities in Georgetown and Worcester. If matters proceed as anticipated, we will be selling into the adult-use market in a matter of weeks, not months.”

Alicia Mandel brings 30+ years of experience in developing scalable talent-development programs for organizations such as American Express, University of Phoenix, and the U.S. Olympic Committee
VANCOUVER, B.C., and PHOENIX, Ariz., October 15, 2019 – 4Front Ventures Corp. (CSE: FFNT) (OTCQX: FFNTF) (“4Front” or the “Company”) has hired Alicia Mandel as 4Front’s first Chief Human Performance Officer. Her addition to the team furthers 4Front’s commitment to developing high-caliber talent and attracting the best people from within and outside the cannabis industry.
“I’m very excited about welcoming Alicia into the 4Front family,” 4Front CEO Josh Rosen said. “I know executives who have gone through her leadership development program and, after reaching out to her, it quickly became clear we have a shared belief in what developing great talent means. 4Front will benefit immensely from her innovative thinking on what effective leadership looks like and her experience building scalable talent infrastructure for organizations such as Citi and the U.S. Olympic Committee.”
Ms. Mandel comes to 4Front with three decades of corporate training and employee engagement experience. She has held positions at American Express, Apollo Education Group/University of Phoenix, the U.S. Olympic Committee, and Citi, among others. As a consultant, she’s also worked with companies such as Oracle, Adobe, Nike, and Microsoft, on executive coaching, team development, and helping align a company’s people strategy with its business strategy.
“While my consulting business was growing strong, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to build an industry-leading executive and employee development program at a company that’s blazing a trail in a brand new industry,” Ms. Mandel said. “I look forward to developing 4Front’s leadership capacity and helping build a strong and deep bench of talent, as well as driving an intentional culture that will create an environment where people can succeed as they propel the organization towards its business objectives.”
Alicia Mandel’s Bio
Ms. Mandel spent the first 17 years of her career in New York City working for two large financial organizations and learning “the right way and the wrong way to do things,” she says. She began her career at what was then Citibank, becoming one of the first employees in the bank’s new corporate training department. As Citi’s Manager of Learning and Development, she helped develop the bank’s training capabilities to support talent development across its global footprint. Following Citi, she spent 10 years at American Express in a variety of HR roles across business functions, eventually earning the title of Director of Employee Engagement. Later, the U.S. Olympic Committee hired her to build “Olympic University,” which was an internal and external learning and leadership development program designed to build leadership skills across the committee and all of the sports’ national governing bodies. Having successfully developed that program, she was asked to join the USOC full-time as its Acting Chief Human Resources Officer. She also has experience working for a high-growth startup, spending three years building a scalable talent infrastructure for Asurion, which grew from 500 employees to 5,000 while she was there. More recently, Ms. Mandel served as Chief Learning Officer for Apollo Education Group, the for-profit education company most well-known for the University of Phoenix. She’s also a successful business owner, having co-founded Medius Advisory Group in 2016 to provide corporate clients with leadership training and team development services. Her clients have included Adobe, Microsoft, Nike, and Oracle. Ms. Mandel lives in Phoenix.

Are you buying your first whirlpool bathtub? Let us help you narrow down the choices. Start by asking yourself the following questions:
Will it fit in the bathroom? Make sure to measure your bathroom before you even look at a whirlpool, including any space you might gain taking down dividing walls or showers. “Most whirlpools come in three standard sizes,” says Morey. “Five feet, five and a half and six. But you can’t just consider the tub size — they’re all designed to be dropped into a deck, and that will take up more space, with the bare minimum adding at least a half-inch to your measurements on all sides.
“If you think you’d like to hold a lot of stuff like candles and oils near the water, you’ll also need extra space on the deck,” says Morey. “If you’re over six feet tall, you may want to forfeit deck space for more tub room.” Source:HGTV
Is your current heating system enough? If you choose to heat your whirlpool with your existing in-home heating system, make sure it can handle the amount of water needed to fill the whirlpool. With an external system, the water in the tub will get cool quickly due to the circulating jets, so you will need to frequently refill the tub with hot water. A 50 gallon quick recovery system should be sufficient.
The other option is a self-heating system. A self-heating whirlpool comes with its own internal heating system that circulates the tub water and reheats when necessary. This is a good energy-saving option and the best way to keep your water temperature consistent. Source:DoItYourself
Which type of jet should you pick? Choose between water jets or air jets. Water-jet whirlpool tubs force water through jets, giving more pressure and a forceful massage. In air-jet whirlpool tubs, air is forced through tiny holes for a lighter massage. A combination whirlpool tub uses both, but will be more expensive and may use more energy.
One drawback of water-jet and combination tubs is that you can’t use bath salts or oils, as these will damage the pumping mechanism.
Another water-jet and combination tub drawback is that some water stays in the jets, and mold can develop if they’re not regularly cleaned out. Source:WikiHow

More and more people are falling in love with aromatherapy. It doesn’t just smell good, it also provides health benefits depending on which oil you choose to use. But be careful about putting it in your bath without proper research beforehand, or you might risk burning your skin. Take note of the following tips:
Avoid direct contact with essential oils “When it comes to putting essential oils in the bath, remember — oil and water don’t mix, which is to say the essential oils are not water soluble,” warns Teachey. Translation: When you climb into the tub, the small drops of oil can adhere to your skin (and tender nether regions!) just as if you’d applied the undiluted oil directly your skin, which can irritate and burn. Ouch!
Use carrier oils You don’t want essential oils just to sit on top of the water; you want them dispersed throughout. The best way to do that is combine essential oils in a carrier oil first, like coconut, olive, sunflower, or jojoba. “For a single bath, three to 12 drops of essential oil in a tablespoon (15 ml) of carrier oil is sufficient to create a very aromatic, therapeutic bath,” says Teachey, who suggests stirring the bath before climbing in to help circulate oils. Source:GoodHousekeeping
Choose skin-friendly essential oils As much as we love essential oils, there are some that don’t belong in the tub. Avoid essential oils that can irritate the skin or mucus membranes. On this list: basil, lemongrass, oregano, thyme, nutmeg, peppermint, cinnamon, clove, black pepper, and bay. Source:HelloGlow
Don’t stay for too long Soaking for just the right amount of time in your luxurious bath will ensure that you get the most benefits from your aromatherapy session.
You’ll want to soak in your aromatherapy bath for about 15-20 minutes to get the most benefits. Staying in longer can dry out or damage your skin.
Consider using bath props, such as a pillow or rose petals, to help you relax further.
A warm washcloth over your eyes will also help you enjoy your bath. Just make sure to warm it in water under the faucet so that you don’t get any essential oil in your eyes. Source:WikiHow

Chilling in the bath is one of life’s greatest pleasures. But, if your tub is dirty, you might feel stressed instead of relaxed. To ensure its cleanliness, here are some things you can do:
Regular Cleaning Routine For gentle weekly cleaning, look for store-bought cleansers that are marked “safe for porcelain enamel”, or make your own by mixing a few tablespoons of dishwashing soap with about a gallon of hot water. Use a rag or soft sponge to scrub the porcelain, and then rinse well with water. Source:Home.HowStuffWorks
Removal of Rust If you have a rust stain (or any other marks or filth that the above techniques can’t touch) you can try this method as a last resort:
Cover the stain with table salt
Take half of a lemon and squeeze the juice over the salt
Scrub the salt/lemon mixture with a clean cloth or a nylon sponge
If the stain still doesn’t come up, leave the paste-mixture on the stain for an hour or so, then squeeze more lemon juice on the stain and try scrubbing the stain again
Keeping the Tub Shiny Squeeze lemon oil onto a soft cloth and rub the sides of your bathtub. The lemon oil also forms a protective coating that helps stop water spots, soap scum and minor stains. Avoid rubbing the oil on the bottom of the tub because it can be quite slippery. Source:Hunker
Quick Clean
Need to do a quick tub cleanup before guests arrive? Grab the handiest item — your shampoo! It does a great job on soap scum because it rinses clean. You can use it to buff a shine into your chrome faucets as well. Source:RD

To create the master bath of your dreams, include the following pieces of advice on your design process:
Choose a relaxing color palette Color has the power to energize and to soothe, to wake you up and calm you down. Consider the mood you want to evoke before selecting your palette of materials. As you develop your bathroom color scheme, remember that color comes from more than wall paint and fabric. The hues in the cabinetry wood and in the stone or tile you choose for floors and walls play a major role in creating an overall color personality. Even the sink and tub contribute to the bathroom color scheme, whether they’re made of white porcelain, dyed concrete, or stone. Source:BHG
Have a universal layout Another trend in master bathrooms is the use of universal design. This approach, designed to accommodate people of all ages and abilities, includes wider doorways, showers with no raised lip around the bottom, larger shower doors and more room around fixtures. Once thought of as industrial-looking, universal elements such as grab bars now blend seamlessly into even the most luxurious master bathrooms. Source:HGTV
Create lots of storage Since most people have many hygiene products, a bathroom remodel is the perfect time to increase your storage space to ensure better bathroom organization. Add bathroom cabinets, drawers, shelves or even carts to store all of these necessary items.
Cabinets that have molding and glass fronts increase the appeal of the bathroom by giving it more character. If you can’t replace your cabinets, consider adding decorative knobs and pulls to update the look. Source:HomeAdvisor
