LUSH Halloween Bath Time Treats

Halloween. For some, it's all about costumes, crazy parties, or candy. For me, it's about bath time treats from LUSH.

Top 6 Healthy Benefits of Sleeping on a Foam Bed

by Tazim Damji

Top 6 Healthy Benefits of Sleeping on a Foam Bed

Foam beds have gained popularity over the past two decades or so, and it’s for some pretty good reasons. Memory foam has a rich history, and I can’t recall just how many times I’ve heard a mattress sales agent narrate it to customers. Memory foam constitutes a viscoelastic material whose first application was in NASA in the 1960s. It wasn’t until the 1990s that its use rolled over to the mattress industry and some other applications. The fact that it was used in NASA, of course, adds points to ...

How to Sleep Better Naturally: Light Therapy Alarm Clock

by Tazim Damji

Light therapy alarm clock

It's so much easier to get out of bed when I'm woken up gently. As a night owl, it's difficult enough to wake up when I need to, in order to follow a lark's schedule. It's especially hard when it's dark in the morning and I'm feeling confused about what time it actually is. Waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the sun shining is pretty much the best and most gentle way to wake up. It’s the time of year when people are thinking about gifts to get for their loved ones; a time of year when ...

by Tazim Damji

How to Sleep Better Naturally: Choose Natural Fabric Bed Linens

Getting a better night's sleep depends on many different factors, one of which is the quality of your bed linens. When you purchase sheets and other bed linens for your bed, don't just choose based on colour and pattern. Choose natural fabric bed linens for a cool, comfortable night's sleep. If you've ever played the game The Sims, you'll know that buying a bed that's a 10 comfort will mean that your sim gets recharged much more quickly than they would with a not-as-good bed. As with beds, when ...

How to Sleep Better Naturally: Try a Sound Therapy Machine

by Tazim Damji

Sound therapy machine

You may know them as white noise machines, but sound therapy machines are much more than that. One of my tips for getting a more restful sleep is to use a sound therapy machine to block out unwanted sound. Instead of using earplugs to block sound entirely, I've found that replacing annoying sounds with ones much more pleasant to sleep to has really made me feel much more relaxed, resulting in a more peaceful sleep. It's the time of year when people are thinking about gifts to get for their ...
