Shower Cubicle – Give a makeover to your bathroom!

Shower cubicles are an accessory being used for most bathrooms. A lot of people are considering installing shower cubicles in their bathroom instead of bath tubs. Shower cubicles are larger and able to give more space. They are easy to maintain and help in saving space and also carrying private accessories .

Sky lights up at night as Perseid meteors visit Earth

Image
Skygazers were treated to a spectacular display of celestial fireworks over the weekend as the Earth flew through a cloud of cometary dust.  The Perseid meteors , shed by comet Swift-Tuttle, stage their show every August and are among the brightest of all shooting stars .  But clear skies across much of the Northern hemisphere meant that the full show was visible to many.   Astronomers took to their telescopes and cameras to capture stunning stills and footage of the peak of the shower on Saturday night. PERSEID METEOR SHOWER  The Perseid meteor shower occurs each year between July 17 and 24 August, peaking between August 9 and 13. Although the peak has passed, they are still expected to be visible until next Sunday. Meteor showers occur when a comet comes close to the sun and produces debris - meteoroids - that spread around the comet's orbit. During the Perseid meteors , debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle bursts into the Earth's upper atmosphere at around 130,000 miles (210,0...

How to Help with Bathing and Personal Hygiene: Top Tips from Caregivers

As your loved one gets older, their changing mental status and physical condition may lead to some significant alterations in their daily habits. One of the biggest issues that many families experience is a serious lapse in their loved ones’ desire and ability to maintain their personal hygiene. It’s true that most seniors don’t necessarily need to bathe as often due to their sensitive skin and relatively low activity levels , but semi-regular washing is crucial for their health and your sanity. Little or no attention to certain “hot spot” areas can contribute to urinary tract infections , and accumulated bodily oils , bacteria and dirt can cause rashes, irritaiton and skin diseases. Worst of all, a loved one’s odor can become unbearable and embarrassing for you and your family. When it comes to bathing and showering, there is usually a deeper cause for a loved one’s refusal to wash up than just “not wanting to.” Bathrooms are notoriously slick and hard, so for a senior who is not st...

Hotel bathrooms in Italy

Image
With exceedingly rare exceptions , you will never find a Turkish toilet in an Italian hotel—but you will find them in most bars and plenty of other public restrooms. You have been warned. You may expect to find the most cultural difference in Italy in the museums and architecture, the way people talk and act, the food they eat, and the unstomachable national brands of liqueur they drink, but nowhere is culture shock greater than in the bathroom. These mysterious and unfathomable ceramic shrines are a bundle of the unexpected and the entirely novel. It starts in a cheap pensione when you discover that the only bathroom is down the hall, coed, and is shared by everyone on the floor... This bath is your bath, this bath is my bath. Among Italian hoteliers, it's a bit of a mystery why so many American travelers so strongly object to sharing a bathroom. From their point of view, they find it a bit odd that many of us feel we cannot sleep in a room unless there's a toilet right ...

Ex-cop's jealous rage led to murders of wife, son and nephew

'); } else { $(".fotorama-caption").addClass("remove_caption"); } }) .fotorama(); THE gruesome discovery of three bodies inside a house at 14 Morningside Drive in Havendale, St Andrew, in 1978, led to the arrest of 27-year-old insurance salesman and ex- policeman Wesley Cuthbert . The discovery was one that no mother should have to make. Phyllis Cameron found the bodies of her daughter, 28-year-old Claudette Cuthbert, Claudette's two-year-old son Dale and seven-year-old nephew Christopher Jackson inside a bathroom of the house. Cuthbert had been strangled to death, while the two boys were found hanging by belts fastened tightly around their necks and attached to the framework holding up the shower curtains. Cameron later told a Home Circuit Court judge and jury that she had just returned from morning services at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Independence City in Portmore, St Catherine when she made the grisly find. At the time of her demise, Cuthbert ...

10 Small Purchases to Better Your Life

Image
Last week, Corporette published a piece on the small purchases that can make your life better.  It was such a great idea, that I decided to share the ten small purchases that I can’t live without.  Feel free to share your inexpensive game changes in the comments. One. A Scrunchie. Oh, I know what you’re thinking: Why is Abra channeling Kimmy Schmidt , right now?  Because when you have acne, keeping your dirty hair tied up while you sleep is a game-changer.  My acne is 40% better since I started sleeping in a scrunchie.  Is it cute?  No.  But for a drastic improvement in my skin, I’ve done more to get less. Two. Packing Cubes and Pouches. Just $10 can keep your suitcase perfectly organized every time you travel.  These packing cube and pouch sets from Amazon keep your toiletries, laundry and other extras perfectly corralled . Three. A Rwanda Basket. Where are my keys?  They’re in the basket.  Where are my AirPods?  In the basket.  Where is the business card I left on the counter n...

Norwegian Epic July 2017 - Rome Embarkation - Norwegian (NCL) Review

This was my first time traveling with Norwegian, and first time ever in Europe with one of my best friends. I had only ever traveled with Carnival before, so I was very impressed with the interior of the ship and it's overall size; much larger and more extravagant on the inside. Very detailed, many places to eat, really good layout. We had a few issues on board. For starters, we found out days later that our steward was supposed to come to our room to introduce himself and show us around our room, how everything worked. That never happened. 7 days on the ship and never met him. We also had issues receiving our tickets for our shore excursion s. We booked all three of our excursions with Norwegian, and every single time, we had to go downstairs to the excursion desk to get copies of our tickets, as our steward could never bring them to our room on time. We actually never got our tickets for our last excursion. We had to get a pamphlet with the shore excursion meeting times and Mor...
