No more freezing when we get out the shower.

We’re staying warm this winter with this SARKI Portable Infrared Space Heater With PIR Motion Sensor!

Thanks for joining us today! We recently received a portable ceramic space heater with a PIR motion sensor from Sarki. With indoor pollution, a real concern of ours the fact that this heater has an environmentally friendly activated carbon filter that can effectively absorb dust and impurities in the air is a big plus in our book. For safety, this unit is made with flame-retardant material and premium circuitry plus it has automatic shut off for tip-over and overheat protection. All of which gives us peace of mind.

Now that the temperatures and the leaves have started to fall we were excited to have such a great heater for the cold days and nights that are fast approaching. Check out Marcus’ video review below.

With a timer that you can set from 1 to 7 hours, you can have it turn off to save money when your sleeping or not home.
Thanks to the 60-degree oscillation this heater provides you’ll feel warm and toasty. Because it gives even heating throughout the area there won’t be any cold and hot spots.

Give Your Feet A Spa Experience

Flip over our footrest and give your feet a nice massage. The rocking motion increases circulation helps to relax cramping feet and calf muscles.

A footrest doesn’t get more comfortable than this perfectly angled footrest for your office, home, and car or air travel. This ergonomically designed footrest incorporates a unique angle that naturally fits your foot. And, premium grade non-slip memory foam cushion, cradles your feet in luxury while relieving knee, leg and foot pain.

When shopping for an ergonomic chair or an adjustable desk many focus on their back; overlooking their legs and feet. However, if your feet and legs aren’t properly supported then you could end up with hip, back, shoulder, or neck pain. By reducing pressure on your legs, a footrest can help to prevent blood clots related to deep vein thrombosis, relieve pressure on the lower back, and decrease swelling and varicose veins. Also, having poor circulation can cause long-term health problems. That’s why we highly recommend you get a footrest as part of your ergonomic setup. The PURE JOURNI Footrest for Under Desk is a good one to select.

First, this footrest is made of quality materials and all the stitching is straight and tight. The zipper that makes it easy to remove the cover for cleaning is securely attached. Now, how we’re using it. We both spend many hours working at the computer or bent over a magnifying light working on projects. So we decided to share this footrest for now. Marcus could use it when I wasn’t blogging. Under the computer desk, we’ve kept a foot massager and two half balls since reviewing them several months ago. We removed them and placed this PURE JOURNI Footrest at my feet. What a difference!

I found that paired with my coccyx seat cushion this footrest not only relieved the pressure and stress on my joints making me more comfortable when sitting for long periods but they also helped me to sit straighter and have proper posture. Now that I am keeping it at my computer, I have noticed that I am experiencing less low back pain after working on the computer for extended periods of time. I also am not experiencing pain in my hips or ribs. Yes, even with my coccyx seat cushion many days my formerly broken ribs ached! For the last three days, with the foot massager under my feet, I’ve not had to take anything for the pain because it’s not there! Marcus may have to get his own because he’s loving this footrest, too. He found that it helped align him properly and thus eased the pain he has while sitting. Overall, we are both pleased with how this footrest is performing and look forward to enjoying it for a long time.

Five Common Plumbing Problems in Older Homes

May 11, 2018 By Paula 1 Comment

Five Common Plumbing Problems in Older Homes

If you own an older home, you’re more likely to encounter plumbing problems due to worn out parts. Look at five common plumbing problems encountered in older homes.

Leaking Faucets

A leaking faucet is an annoying problem that can keep you up at night. Fortunately, it can sometimes be an easy fix. For instance, the leak may be caused by a worn-out rubber washer. The rubber has degraded allowing water to pass through when the faucet is turned off. Replacing the rubber washer can solve this type of leak.

A Clogged Sink

A clogged sink is a very common problem in an older home. The water begins pooling at the bottom of the kitchen or bathroom sink instead of flowing out. Use a sink plunger to remove the hair, dirt or other build up blocking your drain. A plunger can send clogged debris down the pipe or bring it up into the sink, so you can dispose of it. If you find that your sink plunger doesn’t remove your clog, you may want to look to plumbing services in Atlanta.

A Failing Water Heater

Just like any other piece of plumbing, a water heater can become worn out and malfunction. This is a common problem with older homes. An older home may have a large, outdated water heater that has been operating for years. A rusted, failing water heater needs to be replaced with one that is energy efficient. Plus, today’s water heaters are small, and temperature can be controlled by the homeowner.

A Clogged Toilet

A clogged toilet is another common problem in older homes. A clogged toilet flushes, but the water rises to the top of the bowl and sometimes flows over. Once again, a toilet plunger can remove a clog in a toilet’s pipes.

A Dishwasher Malfunction

The dishwasher in a twenty or thirty-year-old home may be the original one put in when the house was built. Sometimes a dishwasher won’t drain leaving a supply of water in the bottom of the device. Sometimes checking the air gap on the sink can help solve the issue.

Lastly, these are only five plumbing issues common in older homes. Sometimes they can be avoided by regular checkups by a plumber or by replacing a piece of plumbing when it reaches a certain age.

Are You Under-utilizing your Steam Cleaner? Check Out These 5 Ways to Use It!

5 Ways to Use Your Steam Cleaner

A steam cleaner is one of those appliances that you buy intending to use only on one or two things. This means that it will stay packed and stored until it is time to do the one thing that you bought it for. As it turns out there are so many other improvised uses of the steam cleaner that we may not have known about and this article will highlight a few of those.

Non-Chemical Way of Cleaning Grills

People use grills on rare occasions and as such, cleaning them is never really a priority for most. At best they are just cleaned at the time of use and this is only because it is unhygienic to use them when they have the buildup of dirt. Add on to this, the harsh corrosive, bad smelling chemicals that come with cleaning the grill and it becomes a job that not many will relish. With the steam cleaner, all one needs to do is attach the steamer’s wire brush and scrappers and you are good to go. It makes light of an otherwise tedious time-consuming job and it takes out even the toughest buildup. The best part about it is one does not have to endure the horrible smells that come with many chemical cleaners.

Cleaning Tiles and Grout

Everyone can admit that no matter how much mopping is done; it is almost inevitable that tiles will discolor at some point in their lifetime. This is exactly the same for grout. It can leave unpleasant looking dark marks between your tiles that are very hard to remove. A steam cleaner used properly can get the stains and dirt out in a short while. One just needs to attach the necessary attachments that come with the steamer. These may include the jet nozzle and several scrub brushes. Specifications of just what attachments and accessories your steamer comes with can be found on steamclean.reviews where reviews of the best cleaners, mops, and steamers are done. Coming back to the tiles, depending on the size of the area that one is cleaning, you can choose the brush size of your choice. After one is done with the steam cleaner, the tiles look as good as new and it makes having gotten on your hands and knees well worth it.

Cleaning Your Oven

Many commercial oven cleaners are often harsh and full of chemicals that one would rather not inhale if you didn’t have to. Cleaning the oven is not a job that is loved by many people. Shifting the oven trays getting the stuck on, spilt food off the oven can be quite challenging. A steam cleaner will do this job so effortlessly that you will wonder why you never used it, to begin with. It removes the grease and all residues with so much ease and it has no chemicals so it makes it perfect for the job.

Cleaning Your Mattress

Mattresses can get filthy dirty and unfortunately, there is no known way of cleaning them. Attach the carpet glide on your steam cleaner and you have yourself a mattress cleaner that not only cleans but also sanitizes your mattress. It dries out pretty fast too since essentially it is not water that is being used but steam. https://steamclean.reviews/ has an excellent review on the best steamers in the market for those looking to buy one for the first time.

Disinfecting Your Toilet

Some areas of the toilet can be hard to reach and a toilet brush just won’t cut it. A steam cleaner used with the jet nozzle attachment will clean these hard to reach places, get rid of the pee smell and at the same time disinfect your toilet. It is worth giving it a try.

There are so many nontraditional uses of the steam cleaner that we haven’t even mentioned in this article that you would be amazed at what a goldmine the appliance is. It wouldn’t hurt to get creative with it too in order to see for yourself.

Photowall’s Driftwood Sunset Is Awe Inspiring!

March 8, 2018 By Paula 9 Comments

Driftwood stands resolute against the tide at sunset. Taken on a remote beach on the Caribbean island of Nevis. – KATHERINE GENDREAU

Wanting a serene and relaxing canvas for our bedroom we recently ordered Katherine Gendreau’s archival photograph, Driftwood Sunset image. Our love of the ocean made this the perfect addition to our bedroom to help us relax and forget the day’s stresses. The canvas we selected has a stunning sunset, in all its vivid colors, that Katherine Gendreau captured at dusk. Beautiful driftwood that has washed ashore. Nature’s brilliance on display in the dimensions and edge I wanted.

What could be more relaxing than a gorgeous sunset filled with hues of pinks, greens, and blues? Photowall offers this and many other prints on canvas and as wall murals. Prints can be ordered with or without a do-it-yourself-frame. Assembling the DIY frame was surprisingly easy to do thanks to a well thought out design by Photowall.

Getting to Know the Driftwood Sunset Photographer:

Katherine Gendreau first became interested in photography when she moved to Rhode Island in 2006. She would bike along the ocean every day around sunset when the light was golden and beautiful. Since then, Katherine’s work has taken her to many places where she tries to capture the sense of wonder that she feels when discovering a location for the first time. Utilizing long exposures ranging from one second to eight minutes, she attempts to record the accumulation of time in a single image. Dreamy and otherworldly, Katherine’s photographs unveil a secret world that is always there but the eye cannot see.
