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 ...

This may sound cheesy, but . . .the future is now! Have you checked out the capabilities of the WeMo Home Automation products? There are so many cool things you can do with the WeMo system, ...

Seasonal Decor Changes are Made Easy with FLOR Rug Tiles

by Tazim Damji

Though people here like to say that it rains non-stop from October to May, really—Vancouver does have 4 distinct seasons. It's nice to celebrate these changes by changing up the décor just a bit. Nothing too drastic, and nothing too permanent, a quick seasonal change can be done by using a rug. Most rugs take up a lot of room when stored, but not FLOR rug tiles, which stack neatly and come in thousands of combinations of patterns and colours. I used to live in Houston, Texas for a large part ...
