Unique Experiences for Gifts – Breakaway Experiences

by Tazim Damji

unique experiences for gifts - squamish rafting company

Experiences make for great gifts for any occasion (or no occasion at all.) They are great for the person who has everything or wants nothing. Young or old, experiences can be enjoyed by everyone. If you're looking for unique experiences for gifts, Breakway Experiences is the place where gift-giving should begin. I recently had a chance to check out a nearby experience: Winter Eagle Viewing Float with The Squamish Rafting Company, thanks to Breakaway Experiences. All opinions are my own. ...

Customized DIY Bubble Bath

by Tazim Damji

Customize DIY Bubble Bath

I'm mixing up a relaxing bubble bath to help me sleep better at night. If I plan things well enough, I like to end my day with a warm bubble bath. The warm water coupled with a soothing blend of essential oils is just what I need to ease my tensions, make me feel relaxed, and bring about only the most pleasant dreams at night. DIY bubble bath is a good idea since you can choose whichever scents make you feel most relaxed. ...

Dyson DC77 Multi Floor Vacuum

by Tazim Damji

Dyson DC 77 Multi Floo

The Dyson DC77 Multi Floor is a multi floor vacuuming dream machine. I recently welcomed the Dyson DC77 in to my home and in to my life. This is the kind of vacuum that doesn't have me dreading "vacuum day" each week. As the days get longer and there are more sunny days in the forecast, it becomes more obvious how much dust collected on the floor and on my upholstered surfaces. In the daylight everything becomes more clear—having my windows open all the time and having so many trees nearby ...

Display your Memories

by Tazim Damji

Hangit Umbra

Why keep your favourite memories tucked away in a photo album or sitting amongst thousands of other pictures you've taken (of your cat, yourself, or the city's skyline) on your cellphone and hard drive? Extend the joy of those special moments you've had throughout the year by displaying them some somewhere you can regularly see them. What I like about the Hangit Photo Display from Umbra is that it's easy to customize what's displayed and change things up as often as I want to. I like to ...

Spruce up your Bathroom with a Speed Connect Faucet (with Giveaway)

by Tazim Damji

American Standard faucet

It's officially winter now. In my world, winter means more time spent indoors.  To warm up during the cold months ahead, and to relax after a hectic holiday season, I plan on taking many more baths and pampering myself overall. Who wants to stare at an unsightly bathroom faucet that doesn't suit the general mood of the bathroom? Have friends and family staying with you? This is a great idea for enhancing the look of your bathroom or powder room. The Speed Connect line of faucets from American ...

More Juice, Less Waste, Better Taste

by Tazim Damji

Juicepresso

The first juicer I ever used was a screaming behemoth, by the time I lifted it onto the counter, had my veg ready and flicked the switch, I was already a bit daunted. And then, what seemed like a dozen carrots later, as I enjoyed my half-cup of juice, I tried to smile and really enjoy it, because I knew I would be spending the next half-hour cleaning up the mess I’d made procuring it. I’m sorry giant juicer—it just didn’t work out. I returned it, and while I still really liked the idea of ...

The Perfect Cold Weather Travel Companion

by Tazim Damji

The Perfect Cold Weather Travel Companion

Warm drinks on cold winter days come courtesy of my Thermos Insulated Travel Tumbler. Sometimes, it's all I can do in the morning to pour some hot coffee in it and take it in the car to work with me. Luckily, this tumbler allows my coffee to stay hot for 5 hours. Another thing I love about this tumbler is the excellent seal on the lid. The open/close switch and the written text make it so I know exactly when my drink is safely sealed away inside. ...
