Home Office Essential: Sonos Play:1 Compact Wireless Speaker

by Tazim Damji

Sonos play:1

Every home office needs a Sonos Play:1. I really think that having clear, inspiring or motivating music streaming in your work space can really make your day just so much more awesome. Whether or not you're doing the boring (but necessary) work, or actually doing something enjoyable—the right music streaming from the right sound system can seriously improve things. These are my thoughts and results—I feel like there should be a disclaimer, but who amongst you wouldn't love to have a great music ...

Top 5 IKEA Home Office Essentials

by Tazim Damji

Budget-friendly, pretty, and practical. These are three things I am looking for when I put together a home office. If something is gorgeous, but impractical and expensive—it's not going in my home office! And, you get the idea with the others, too. It's essential to have all three, and I can't think of a better place to shop than IKEA to fulfill all my home office needs.  ...

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 ...

Keep Love Close at all Times with Redbubble

by Tazim Damji

redbubble iphone case

It's easy to keep love close to you at all times when you're reminded of it, as it hugs your cellphone. Redbubble has cases for your gadgets, t-shirts (and other garments), tote bags and more to help you keep images and messages that speak to you close-by. Just because it isn't Valentine's Day doesn't mean you shouldn't tell your friends and family how much you love them. The Wednesday Dream - Chasing Planes is the perfect way to do so. I have a thing for hot air balloons and just love how the ...

Octaspring Pillows for a Good Night’s Sleep

by Tazim Damji

Octaspring

If you're one of seemingly thousands of people I've seen posting recently about how tired you are and how much you wish you could be gifted with more sleep during this time of year, I've got just the thing for you. Sold exclusively at SleepCountry locations across Canada, Octaspring pillows, from international bedding brand Dormeo, use the same principle used in creating comfort zones in their mattresses. The technology used in the pillows makes it so the neck and head are fully supported. I ...

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 ...

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. ...

CableKeeps: Nice, Tidy Cable Organizers

by Tazim Damji

CableKeeps

Nice, organized cords and chargers for my devices. Anything that will make cords look better and keep things a bit more organized is a huge improvement in my mind. Think about it: how often do you use and move around your adaptors for your iPhone and iPad? Pretty often, I imagine. With CableKeeps you'll know exactly which adaptor to pull out from the wall or your bag. They are colourful, fun, awesome ways to stay organized.  ...

Stylish Mobile Accessories for People on the go (with Giveaway – Canada Only)

by Tazim Damji

Stylish Mobile Accessories

I don't know about you, but I use my iPhone for pretty much everything — which means that the battery runs out fairly quickly. With all the use that phone-y gets, I feel safe knowing that she is protected from scratches and what-not with Belkin's TrueClear Invisiglass Screen Protector. I feel much better knowing that I won't run out of battery life at a crucial moment (like when I'm trying to watch funny animal videos or obsessively check my weather forecast app), and that my sweet iPhone is ...
