Rules for Better Living: A photo contest!

Rules for better living: A public reminder to live well.

But what exactly does living well mean?

In a world full of busy schedules and persistent technology most of us go throughout our days in a daze. To live well does not require grand things; it requires being in the moment. A moment is merely a brief period of time that we must choose to recognize in order to appreciate. Rules for better living challenges us to laugh, give, receive, love and be present in every moment possible.

Every month we will post one of our rules for better living, reminding you to live well. We encourage you to post photos of you embracing these rules in your daily life!

This month’s rule is “eat well, laugh often, love much.” Whether it’s enjoying champagne and oysters with a good friend, starting your day with breakfast and your family at the table, or spending the afternoon finding the best veggies at your local farmers market, we want to see!

Post your photos of you emulating this rule to Instagram with the hashtag #rulesforbetterliving and tag @properties. On June 15th we’ll pick the photo we feel best emulates Rule #9 and award that Instagrammer $100 to Bella Notte!
