It’s been years since the debate between tiles and hardwood on floor has been going on! While one is considered as supreme luxury, the other doesn’t stay behind in appeal either. Many of us are smitten by the look and opulence that timber floorings bring in – but are sceptical about the maintenance part. Plus, hardwood does not come in a budget price range either. So, do you compromise the way you want your space to look for the sake of practicality? Enter the scenes -- wood patterned ceramic tiles. Haven’t heard of them? Or their benefits? No wonder you never considered that possibility and went ahead with hardwood at the end of the day!

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.

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.

If you’re like me, the idea that inorganic, non-biodegradable, single-use plastics are somehow the go-to packaging unit is just illogical; almost as illogical as seventeen states in our country having statewide ban preemptions or preventative measures restricting even the possibility of future bans of their use. As crazy as it may seem to some of us, we are still the ones allowing it. Therefore, the purpose of this article is not to place blame, rather, the purpose of this article is to establish personal accountability. Corporations use plastic because it is durable, inexpensive, and accepted by us all.

I love my coffee. I can't carry on with my morning if I don't have my coffee first thing. In fact, I'm not even fully awake until I comfortably finish my first coffee of the day. Yes, I'm not fully awake even when my kids are jumping on my husband and me in bed at 6 AM. This is also another reason why I seriously need my coffee.

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!

As my lifestyle swings further and further towards a radical self-reliance (even though a friend of mine insists there's nothing radical about self-reliance), it is obvious that additional consideration must be given to the things we take for granted in our lives. A sense of cleanliness and respectability are mandatory if one of the primary objectives is to mingle with the people of the world and seek their stories. It goes without saying that you cannot smell the scent of my active lifestyle through a video posted online, but I guarantee that I am very self conscious as I proceed with my plans of going completely off grid with every aspect of my life.

How reliable and hard working you are can also help your situation; yet it sometimes feels like a stroke of bad luck - being in the wrong place at the wrong time that puts you on a chopping block for an unexpected lay off, or a cut in hours.

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).

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.

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:

Lifehacks first became popular during the early 2000s, when people were amazed at the wealth of information on the net. Everything became easier to do, and everything seemed possible. These days, finding good lifehacks has become easier than ever before.

We all know that the most serious and committed relationship of our lives is with the one thing that is there for us, unconditionally, each and every night: Our mattress. Through thick and thin, in good times and in bad, we can always count on it for a little comfort... Until it’s not so comfortable anymore. So, how do we know when it’s time to say, “It’s not you, it’s me,” and begin a new search for your next great sleeping partner?

I've never been a huge fan of planners and I’ve never believed that they actually work and help get the job done. I never used them in high school, in college, or for work. They always seemed like an annoying book to carry around with you wherever you go or a tiring commitment you have to keep up for 12 months.

According to a report by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) 6,227 fatal pedestrian accidents occurred in 2018, the highest number of accidents in the past three decades. While improvements to motor vehicle safety and laws against driving under the influence or distracted have increased protection for drivers, pedestrians remain mostly unprotected and at higher risk of suffering deadly injuries from a car accident. Drivers aren’t the only ones guilty of distractions, pedestrians using handheld devices are also at risk of causing accidents. Studies have found that pedestrians who are texting and walking have a higher risk of being involved in an accident than others who are not engaging in these activities.

If I had a dollar for every time I heard something like, "I've always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower, but I just don't have the money to travel," I’d have enough set back for a first class flight to Paris.Don't get me wrong—saving money is no easy task, but many give up before they've ever truly tried. Your tight budget might make that big trip seem like an impossibility, but small steps to save can make your dream vacation a real possibility.After all, the journey of a thousand miles likely starts with a the satisfied clink of a single coin in your sad little empty piggy bank.
