How To Warmly Welcome Holiday Houseguests

by Tazim Damji

Holiday Houseguests

**This post contains affiliate links and I may be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. I always look forward to my family staying over in my home for the holidays or any time of year, but I can't help but worry about whether or not they feel welcome! If you're like me, you know what it's like to be a houseguest for the holidays and feel like you're missing home. It can be so discombobulating to be away from home. The bed never feels as comfortable, you don't have ...

Top Ways to Prepare Your Home for Future Overnight Guests

by Tazim Damji

It's expensive enough living in Vancouver to live in a one bedroom or bachelor apartment—a two bedroom place is practically unheard of. Strangely enough, most Vancouver apartments have fairly large bedrooms. I find this a bit annoying because I spend so much of my time in the main room—which is a combination space. The main room is my office, studio, dining room, living room and kitchen. If I have a couple staying over, or if my mom or dad ever came to stay, I would give them my bedroom and ...

Sleep Better, Feel Better, Live Better

by Tazim Damji

Dormeo Octaspring Pillows

Sleep is awesome. I feel fairly confident in saying that most people agree with me. In fact, I would venture to say that the majority of people want more and better quality sleep. Are you with me, here? Let's go a step further—of all the things one could wish for around the holiday season, I would say that sleep is the thing thing that I have seen wished for more than anything else. Don't believe me? Check out your friends' Facebook posts and Twitter updates near the end of the year. Okay, so ...

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Vanity DIY Project

by Tazim Damji

Annie Sloan Chalk Paints

Or: How I Turned a Free Desk in to a Charming Vanity Getting dressed and ready to the leave the house in the morning always seems like a hectic rush. With different things I need to get ready in various locations, not a lot of time to feel "put-together", and limited patients, I end up stressed and panicked-feeling. Having a vanity with plenty of storage for my most-needed accessories and makeup has made a huge difference in my morning routine. Last year, I re-decorated my vanity. I ...

5 Reasons Why a Natural Memory Foam Pillow is the Way to Go

by Tazim Damji

Essential Memory Foam Pillow

When people tend to talk about sleep, one thing often comes up: the amount of hours one needs/should sleep. In our fast-paced society, it's common to hear how people have only slept 4 or 5 hours a night. Insomnia isn't a foreign word for many people I know. Although, I tend to work until early (or late) evening, I always make sure I get at least 7 hours of sleep. The amount of sleep is pretty important, but it's not as important as the quality of sleep. I use an app on my iPhone to wake me up ...

How to Quickly Change the Look of your Bedroom

by Tazim Damji

Redbubble duvet

Sure, you can change out your bedroom furniture, paint the walls or replace the flooring. But all of those things are pretty major, not to mention costly. Whether you're wanting to change the look of your bedroom seasonally or to suit your mood, a duvet cover is a quick and stylish way to do so. Changing out your duvet cover is a great change in itself, but you can start there and keep going with other small changes. It's really easy to put together a custom bedroom with Redbubble. First, ...

Whether you want to re-style a dorm room for the winter semester, or you want to jazz up your bedroom at home, this bedding set from Seventeen, exclusively sold at Macy's, is cheery and cozy enough for the job. The Ikat Vintage Ombre pattern is a refreshing ikat design in revitalizing shades of blue on a white background.

by Tazim Damji

luxury bed

Like flipping a light switch, fall turned on and summer turned off. The nights have gotten really chilly already as the days are getting shorter. DownLinens has helped me transform my bed for the new season—and to prepare for the coming winter. A luxury bed topper fit for all seasons is the perfect way to break into the colder months.

Getting Ready for Cooler Temperatures with a New DownLinens Comforter

by Tazim Damji

Downlinens Duvet

How did DownLinens know that I was on the market for a comforter? It's a little funny, but I have a King sized comforter and a twin sized quilt that my best friend made me—even though I have a double/full bed. The king sized comforter worked well enough for winter, but the excess material that dragged on the floor always bothered me, plus, I didn't have an extra one for guests. I like having a slightly larger cover on my bed, so I'm happy to have received a queen sized comforter. I find it ...
