5 Ways of Achieving Peace at Home through Minimalist Design

by Leave a Comment

Even though the minimalist design is often considered “boring”, the truth is that it has a lot to offer, and not just in terms of appearance. It can make your home look more modern, but it can also make it seem more peaceful and comfortable. It’s also known for valuing quality over quantity; this allows you to have fewer items, which emphasises the function of every room. If this style sounds interesting to you and you would like to have it in your home, here are a couple of ideas that can show you how to achieve peace in your home through this unique design.

Think about the colours

When it comes to the colours, try to keep things simple. Don’t mix too many different colours as that can only create chaos, and not just on your walls but in your head as well. Neutral shades and pastels are perfect for achieving inner peace, and they will enhance the nature of minimalist design. You should also add a couple of cushions, rugs, or throws in matching or complementing colours for a more comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.

Don’t forget textures and patterns [Read more…]

Kitting Out Your First Apartment – on a Budget!

by Leave a Comment

Moving into your first apartment is a big milestone in any young adults life. For some, it happens early on- maybe you were keen to be independent and moved out at the first chance you could. For others it comes a little later, if you live in an expensive part of the world, you might have needed to save significantly before you were able to leave your family home. You could have decided to stay living with parents until you could afford to buy your own apartment, and avoid the rent trap altogether. It’s different for everyone, but one thing most of us have in common when moving into our own place is that we’re short on cash. Therefore it’s important to come up with ways that we can style our space on a budget, and make it feel like home without breaking the bank. If you’ve just moved into your own home or are planning on it soon, here are some of the ways you can cut costs.

Buy Before You Move

If you know you’re going to be moving in the future, one thing you could do is start buying items here and there and put them away so they’re ready. Doing this means you can buy things when they’re on offer so you can find the best deals, and generally spread the cost so you don’t need to purchase every last thing when you’re in your new place. Go with things like kitchen stuff- plates, pots, cutlery and utensils are going to be needed in any home. In the bathroom, towels, a bath mat, a shower curtain and smaller accessories like a soap dispenser and toilet brush will be needed. You could pick up a duvet and some pillows, bedding and any decorative items that you like the look of. Write a list of everything you think you’ll need, and then tick things off as you go. Anything you can purchase beforehand will make life easier and you’ll need to spend less once you’ve moved in. Other things that are well worth purchasing in advance are things like toiletries and any dried or long life food items. Pick them up when they’re on sale, and when you move you have all of the basics already!

Easily Spot the Cold In Your Home & Save Yourself Hundreds of Dollars: BlindSpotz + A GIVEAWAY!

by Leave a Comment

We’ve been so fortunate here in Utah to have had such a mild winter this year, though the snowboarding hasn’t been great! But temperatures still get pretty cold, and I can feel the cool air slipping through the doors, making my home down right chilly! Now living in a 5000 square foot house with over 8 doors, and countless windows, there is quite a bit of cool air that sneaks through the cracks and cools my home down quite a bit! I can tell just by walking in the master bathroom that the temperature drops about 10 degrees! Heating my home can cost up to $400 a month and I’d rather save where I can, so I was pleasantly suprised to find out about BlindSpotz!

BlindSpotz are smart and Simple Diagnostic Sensors you place around your home to find the cool spots! Not only does BlindSpotz help point them out to you, but it also offers awesome personalized solutions to fixing the problem too! The typical energy efficiency audit costs between $300 and $500. Not only is that expensive, but the contractor will come when it is convenient for him (the middle of a single day) when it isn’t the best time to figure out where your problems lie (usually at night or on a colder day). 

Blindspotz is a completely new way to think about home efficiency testing. You do it yourself. The results are simple and obvious.

Blindspotz - Easily Spot the Cold In Your Home

How exactly does BlindSpotz work? Check out this video to see how it works:

Once my BlindSpotz arrived, I started quickly placing around doors, windows, and of course that super cold Master Bathroom of mine! Each packet of BlindSpotz comes with over 8 diagnostic sensors that are super simple to use! It’s a sticker so it will stick to anything and everything (but easily pulls right off when you’re done using- and no sticky film left behind!) You simply warm for a few seconds by rubbing in your hand, place around your house where you want to see if you might be losing warm air, and then wait 48 hours for the results which will show up on the BlindSpotz sticker sensors. *Be sure to stick to surfaces when temperatures hit below 32 degrees. I placed mine early one morning while it was still very cold outside!

Once you get your reading, (like I got here on my front door) take pictures with your phone of your BlindSpotz that read below 55 degrees, and you can simply email or upload the photo on BlindSpotz.com and they will send you free information and personalized solutions for fixing the cold spots in your home!
Blindspotz - Easily Spot the Cold In Your Home

Using BlindSpotz couldn’t be any easier! It took me all of about 5 minutes to place the stickers in my home, and another 5 minutes to send over the email to get the solutions tailored perfectly for my home! AND I love that it saved me hundreds of dollars by not having to have an expensive energy-efficent audit done in my home! Plus, once I put these fabulous personalized solutions into place that BlindSpotz sent me, I will be saving a ton on my monthly heating bill too!

Also, the lovely people of BlindSpotz are letting me give 3 packages away to 3 of my lovely readers!

ENTER TO WIN 3 packages of BlindSpotz- for a more efficiently heated home!
