There’s no worse feeling in a hostel than the angry stares and frosty greetings I often get in the morning. I volunteer a friendly ‘good morning’ but all that is delivered in return are some grumpy mumblings. Through bleary eyes, the others in my dorm room seem to seethe with a passive hostility that’s struggling to break out from the cage created by our lack of familiarity. You see, I’m a snorer. Without ill intentions or deliberate malice, I manage to disturb the sleep of most people in a dorm room. I’m like a garbage truck collecting the trash, that unwanted alarm clock when you need more precious dozing, or the late night return of your drunken partner. In fact, if you combine all those things and then play them out constantly through the night, that’s me.

Baseboards, magnets for dog hair, require regular cleaning, especially if you’re allergic to pet dander. If you’re lucky enough to care for multiple dogs, the hair can accumulate quickly. A few minutes of your time every couple of days should keep your baseboards clean and dog hair under control. Items You Will Need: • Rag • Telescoping feather duster • Dryer sheets Step #1 –  Vacuum layers of dog hair from baseboards using the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. If you’re allergic to pet dander, make sure your vacuum has a built-in HEPA filter. Step #2 –  Dampen a rag and use it to wipe away any dog hair that didn’t come up with the vacuum. The rag should be just damp and not wet; but avoid using a dry rag as this stirs up dust and hair instead of catching it. Rinse and repeat as needed. Step #3 –  Reach into corners and behind furniture with a telescoping feather duster. These are great for cleaning dog hair from...

As a home decor blogger, I get lots of questions about the products that I use in my house. One of the most asked about products is our flooring. Nearly two years ago, we replaced the flooring in the entire front of our house and put down a laminate floor product. Today, I’m going to give my honest opinion about our choice to use laminate floors in the kitchen, eating area, living room, hallway, and playroom. So, let’s rewind for a minute….When we moved into our home five years ago, the flooring situation was less than ideal. We knew that we’d eventually want to replace the linoleum floors in the kitchen and the white carpet that was everywhere else. Here are a few “before” shots to show you what I’m talking about.  Yikes!

1.  Things from Dreamfarm. If I could only have one Dreamfarm item it would be the metal Chopula. Fortunately, the universe allows us more than one item. My solid #2 is the Smood. My only complaint about the Smood is  I can’t use it as much as I would like because it works so well. They have lots of other great items. The next one I want to try is the Holey Spadle. 2. Fitkicks My cousin Cynthia calls these my ‘airport shoes’ because I found them in the airport when my Uggs were rubbing a blister onto my heal and they were my saving grace for the whole cruise and beyond. I still wear them pretty much every day. I have issues, foot and otherwise, and these expanded my shoe wardrobe by 50%. They are available in sizes from little kids to adult, and can be thrown in the washing machine, too! I have some of the regular Fitkicks and a pair of the Kozikicks. I need to try the Kruzers, too! 3. GoSmile We first tri...

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is the widely used method to cure sleep apnea. It was initially developed in 1981 by Professor Colin Sullivan at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Australia. The modern CPAP devices are considered the best non surgical treatment to get relief from snoring and sleep apnea. The CPAP machines deliver air into the airway through a scientifically designed nasal CPAP mask or   full face CPAP mask . The flow of air maintains adequate pressure while a person breathes in, to keep the airway open. A   CPAP machine   is set to a constant pressure level with little deviation from the continuous pressure. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or   CPAP masks   come in different shapes and sizes and are to be chosen according to the shape of contours of the face and personal comfort level. The full face masks spreads over the user’s nose and mouth while delivering the pressurized air through the tube. They ar...
