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 ...

How to Sleep Better Naturally: Choose Natural Fabric Bed Linens

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 ...

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 ...

Add Comforting Essential Oil Scents to your Home

by Tazim Damji

Escents Zen Diffuser

You know how certain scents trigger different memories or associations in your life? The smell of chocolate chip cookies may remind you of your grandmother's kitchen, for instance. Lately I've used different essential oil blends to get in to different states of mind throughout the day. I've been experimenting with essential oil blends and have come up with just the right ones to use for different activities throughout my day. The best way to get the scent of the essential oil blends dispersed ...

Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Waffles Recipe

by Tazim Damji

Vegan banana chocolate chip waffles

Breakfast in bed. Sounds amazing, doesn't it? What if it came with a mess in the kitchen included? Somehow, it's a bit less appealing! Honestly, I have to think really hard to remember what it's like to make waffles and be left with a ginormous mess to clean up afterward. You know the kind of mess I mean: gooey bits of waffle batter stuff to the waffle maker, all over the sides and just. . .everywhere! You see, I haven't had to deal with that in a while, not since I got the new No-Mess Waffle ...

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 ...

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 ...
