Buying a house is an expensive experience, so you will naturally want to avoid any unnecessary costs. Homeowners insurance might seem like something you can avoid spending money on, but is this a wise choice?

If you shave on a regular basis, you might think you know everything you need to about getting a close, smooth shave that leave you looking your best. However, if you've been shaving the same way for a dozen years, you might want to take a closer look at how you're doing it. Because if you're like me (and most folks I talk to), there's a chance you're still doing things the hard way.

People who are into art often look for original artwork and pieces to buy and add to their growing collection. While it is quite a costly hobby, original artwork can increase the aesthetic value of your interiors. When you are decorating your interiors, you are subconsciously looking for things that are an extension of your personality. The artworks you choose can say a lot about you, so yes, you should bid high and get the piece that you want!

The season of fresh vibes and spring beauty is almost upon us. But, is your home ready to welcome such freshness? Whether you have kids and pets at home or not, keeping your home looking immaculate can be overwhelming at times. However, with the right information and motivation, nothing will be too tiresome.

From the packaging of domestic products to the high-end industrial machinery, cardboard boxes are widely used everywhere in the industry for the protection of the products. These boxes are highly effective due to the high-end functionality, which helps in keeping all the products safe in the process. But have you ever thought that what we can do with these boxes once the main product is un-boxed? We can use it for a number of purposes.

I’m an avid online shopper. But I haven’t always been this way. After years of click-and-go practice, I’ve become a self-proclaimed expert at finding the best picks in any category, learning to carefully balance high quality and affordability. Since most of my friends are more skeptical to order things online, I’m usually the guinea pig and will take the plunge first because I have no problem with returning. My friends constantly ask me for online shopping advice and love to know what I’ve bought recently. The one that keeps surprising everyone is my personal favorite online purchase: my beloved Lull mattress.

The current Covid situation is simply tragic and unfortunately, is not going anywhere any time soon. So, like all socially responsible human (nah not really, the truth is I have to observe a compulsory company-mandated quarantine), I have been self-quarantined at home for two weeks now, and my oh my I was soooooo bored out of my mind that I have went on to do some very unexpected things, which have surprised even myself.

I recently came across a Guardian article which said that Britain has closed almost 800 libraries in a decade and I was gutted. When I was growing up, I somehow found myself recognising that knowledge is sacred (to me). I crave to learn, to improve and become aware about my surroundings.

Just this year, I transitioned from working my 9-5 office job to working for myself — woo! With this change came a serious realization: I need to update my bedroom. As the majority of my work is done via laptop in my personal space, I knew the investment and time would be worth it to make a space where I could be productive during the day and cozy at night. I have always been a budget-friendly shopper, typically purchasing only the pieces that are necessary. As a result, I was prohibiting my space from feeling cozy — simply due to dollars! Well, within a matter of weeks I realized that in order to be creative, inspired, comfortable, and productive, I have to love my space. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that I can love my space while still on a budget. Are you skeptical? Find out how I created the bedroom of my dreams!

The holidays are fast approaching and we tend to forget about our well being around this time because we're focusing on others and rushing and running around to get everything done and perfect.

Many people spend a lot of time picking out a Christmas tree that they like. Sadly, once they take it home and decorate it, they forget about it until it is time to take it down.

1. My experience with selling merchandise miserably failed prior to the “800 MILES” apparel

It is hard to believe that until a few days ago, people would be talking about things other than the Coronavirus, self isolation ,toilet rolls , food shortages or anything other than the current crisis, but we did. One of the things that everybody wanted to start doing was to become more `green' or `eco friendly', and this was becoming a big thing with individuals and the business community.

Happy Halloween, I mean Christmas oops I mean Thanksgiving... Well I honestly don’t know right now the temperature is about 30 degrees and I can see trees with colorful leaves! So I am wondering if fall decided to be winter for Halloween. I love a little mix up myself but it'll be hard for me to organize this fall haha!

You'd ask why is that?

Different colors do convey different meanings. If someone was to ask you what color you are today; you'll generally respond in kind in relation to the mood you're in at said given moment.

Cut out trousers not your style? Fair enough, maybe you need something with more social contact, well don’t you worry, we serve that here too!

While my neighbours are posting pictures of the newly baked healthy Keto-friendly desserts or photos of their brand-new yoga routine, I am busy, anxiety-eating raspberry jam...straight out of the jar...with a ladle. Well done, me!

After spending the summer amping up my immune system with vitamin C and sneaking zinc powders packets into our dinners at home, I feel confident that I am safe delivering groceries for people during the craziness that is going on around us all right now.

There are a few things we can do to save our planet Earth and the environment. We can use our voice, be informed, be political, travel responsibly, eat sustainable, reduce trash, and make a promise or pledge.

If you have found yourself checking the grocery stores, pharmacies, dollar store and even gas stations searching for any signs of the illusive item we know as toilet paper, you are certainly not alone.

In the midst of the corona virus pandemic, many are practicing social distancing and staying indoors to avoid the risk of exposure to or even spreading the disease. For some people, that means working from home, catching up on the latest Netflix series, and taking college courses online in the comforts of a blanket burrito. While having to make changes to our daily routines one thing is constant: the need and desire for food. Fortunately, most grocery stores remain open so that we can replenish our refrigerators and pantries. But there is one question on everyone’s mind: Is it safe to make a food run or should we try delivery?

These past couple of months have been very challenging for the majority of the world in every possible aspect.

The arrangements we make for our deaths say a lot about who we were in life. Those who opt for cremation often choose to be scattered, buried, or interred in a columbarium. While these are all viable options, there are things you can do with your ashes you might never think of, and they're worth considering. You only die once, so why not do it your way?

I just moved into a new apartment and immediately felt overwhelmed. My old apartment was a 600 sq foot, one bedroom apartment. It was fine when it was just me. Then I got a dog and it immediately felt too small. There were times that I felt bad for my dog because she did not have room to run or play.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has forced many of us (even essential workers to a degree, on their days off) into a long-term pause, and as the image implies: to be more creative. The world as we know it has changed. There are (no doubt) people who are enjoying this change, while others are sad and anxious - with mental health also taking prominence.

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2015 to improve my filmmaking. You can imagine my surprise when I found my new muse: photography! Whether you have a DSLR, a simple point-and-shoot, or even just a smartphone, I hope you can learn from my mistakes by reading these tips about photography!

Growing up I was always told that I was ugly and couldn't be anything beautiful because I wasn't "allowed" to. I always wanted to be a model and or actress but between kids & my foster parents I never thought I'd be able to. Now I am modeling and acting, I've changed my appearance and the way I feel about myself and I feel more in control of my life. It took a long time but it is worth it. The way I see myself now, no one can bring me down ever again. I know that from the start if wouldn't be easy but I knew it was possible. My confidence level is higher than ever and I am thankful for the people who support me through this journey and who bring me up when I'm down.

As one of the most important events in your life, the wedding has to be marked the right way. Every aspect of it has to reflect you and your relationship — from celebration itself, over the wedding dress, all the way to photos (especially the photos). And of course, who wants those boring, "bride standing beside the groom smiling" wedding photos in the 21st century? The new age photography techniques and technology, along with well-trained photographers, allows us to create memories that look so artistic they’re almost out of this world. And if you can’t find the inspiration, here are some ideas you should consider.

Language is an ever-evolving ball of lingual energy hurtling around the earth, ping-ponging from mouth to mouth. Words are discovered; words are spread. A subset of the older generation come along, grumbling as they berate some of these new words. A subset of the younger generation overuse some of these new words and further ruffle the grey feathers of those who came before.

Welcome to my first blog post.

As I'm from the UK, it's often difficult to find something to buy my twin sister for birthdays and Christmas. She's an avid K-pop fan so most of the things I get are from online stores. Unfortunately, I was on a low budget this year and had to accommodate for this. Though this gift basket is specifically for an exo-l, it can easily be modified for any other K-pop fan in your life or anyone who is interested in Korean culture. So, here are the gifts and their corresponding stores:

One of the most important things to grow a fantastic beard is beard oil. It's that magic potion that can help you grow the beard of your dreams. It makes your beard hair soft and dense and also prevents itching underneath the beard. There are many beard oils available in the market, and this guide will help you find the one that is perfect for you.

It’s almost impossible in this day and age to not be at least somewhat acquainted with what VPNs are. Long story short, VPNs have existed in parallel to Netflix and similar streaming platforms, but their paths haven’t crossed until people realized that Netflix streaming services aren’t ‘universal’.

Drops, spills, and scratches are just a few regrettable things which can damage your tablet. Because this sort of device is rather pricey, many people choose to buy a wooden iPad holder to protect it. Nonetheless, choosing an excellent tablet holder for your device can be hard especially with the number of products out there right now.

With so many facing lock down at the moment, with or without others I thought I would update something I wrote a while back.

It’s a common experience. You arrived in your new country full of enthusiasm, or at least good intentions. But six months in, you’ve found that it’s harder than you thought to get past the initial stages of language learning. You’ve found, too, that English is perfectly sufficient to get by, both with the locals who all seem to speak it fine (or at least passably), and within the expat community: you have Anglophone removal men, doctors, cleaners. Your children go to international schools. Your friends are also strangers in this foreign land, and English is the common language between you.

Something that may not be too surprising is that lifting an extremely heavy, all-metal contraption with wings and full of people to 35,000 feet above the ground isn’t the cleanest or more efficient form of travel. It’s also not too surprising that if you tried to walk to Cabo, you would use all your vacation time – and then some. As a result, air travel is a necessity. While this is true, it doesn’t mean you can’t take steps to make your experience greener, which is good for you and the world.

In our beautiful province, a resident produces about 1600 pounds of waste per year. This represents 6 million tonnes of waste each year! All crammed into landfills outside cities. hills of waste with serious consequences for the environment.
