The Perfect Bath Day Trip Itinerary – Ideal for those on a Budget!

Image
Perfect Bath Day Trip Itinerary " width="1024" height="768" /> The beautiful World Heritage city of Bath is one of England’s top highlights . Even if only you’re travelling in this country for a week or so, then you really can’t miss this stunning town situated in the country’s south west corner . Unbelievably, I hadn’t visited this gem in my home country, until this summer – 32 years in! With a trip to Bristol to see friends booked (read more about the best free things to do in Bristol here), Bath seemed like the perfect accessory , only 15 minutes away by train. But Bath certainly isn’t just a Bristol accessory, it’s very much a jewel in its own crown – in fact it’s amazing just how close and how different the 2 cities are. Bath is all glamour, while Bristol is all grit. Both are magnificent, it just depends what you’re into. And FYI: I’m into both!

Shattered! The danger hanging in your bathroom

Image
I had just finished showering and turned off the water. Soaking wet, I did what millions of Americans do every day -- I reached for my snazzy sliding glass shower door . Seconds later, glass was raining down on me. The door had failed somehow and exploded into a million little pieces. The sound was hideous, something between nails on a chalkboard and a torrential downpour. Only this didn't make me wet, it made me bloody. This was the grisly scene in my bathroom after a shower door exploded on me while I showered. I bled substantially from a wound on my right foot and had to walk on glass to get out. Glass shower doors are a substantial upgrade from old, mold- magnet plastic shower curtains found in many older homes. They look great. They let ambient light into the shower and make the bathroom look larger. If you have fancy tile rimming your tub, they show that off. The aesthetics come with a cost however, as I recently learned the hard way: Glass shower and tub enclosures ca...

MAKE A GROMMET-TOPPED SHOWER CURTAIN

Topped Shower Curtain " src="http://madincrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/HowtoSewaGrommetToppedShowerCurtain_thumb.png" alt="How to Sew a Grommet Topped Shower Curtain " width="700" height="1049" style="border: 0px;" /> This is a sponsored post.  I was given free material from Online Fabric Store in exchange for my work, but the opinions are 100% my own. I did quite a bit of in-store and online shopping for a new shower curtain for our bathroom, and I ran into the same problem I do with most shopping.  The curtains that I liked were way too expensive, and the curtains I could afford were kind of ugly.  I was a little scared to try making my own shower curtain , but in the end my cheap nature conquered my fears. At the end of June, I asked my facebook fans which of these fabrics they thought would look the best in our upstairs bathroom.  The colors in the center square represent the paint color on our new bathroom wall ...

12+ Ways to Reuse and Repurpose Shower Curtain Hooks

Image
Repurpose Shower Curtain Hooks " width="499" height="238" />How many of you just toss those old metal and plastic shower curtain hooks and rings away? How many of you just toss them into a drawer and forget about them? Well, I’m here today to give you some creative ideas on how you can reuse and repurpose those shower curtain hooks & rings to help you get more organized around the house or to come up with some crafty home decor ideas . Let’s go! 1. Hook together several of the rings to form a chain. Use that chain to hang-up outdoor hanging plants , wind chimes, wind socks, crystal dangling sun -catchers, etc. When using them outdoor, I prefer to use the plastic rings, because they won’t rust like metal rings. 2. Looking to hang up outdoor solar lights and solar lanterns for a party? If you want them to hang lower, you can form a chain (like above) and hang them from a Shepherd’s Hook, clothesline or plant hook. 3. If you have bird feeders that you w...

Lois Frankel's mayoral bathroom takes a hit in Adam Hasner attack ad

The battle between congressional candidates Lois Frankel and Adam Hasner has fallen into the toilet. Democrat Frankel and Republican Hasner are competing in the South Florida Congressional 22 district that is currently home to U.S. Rep. Allen West who has switched districts. In Hasner’s ad "Gotta Go" the incensed female narrator says: "That Lois Frankel is something. She gave herself a 40 percent pay raise . Charged us for a police helicopter ride to go to a dinner party. But the worst part? Frankel spent over $13,000 in taxpayer money on a marble shower in a private bathroom with her own toilet. What a waste. All that money right down the drain for her own personal use," says the narrator, as a close-up of her hand is shown flushing a white toilet. Now the screen reveals that our narrator is sitting on a toilet next to a roll of toilet paper and a white shower curtain : "When you gotta go, you gotta go, but that’s just ridiculous." We’ve already ch...

Hostels in Cusco, Peru

Image
This article has links to products and services we love, which we may make commission from. We’ve decided to ‘lay roots’ in Cusco which in travellers terms means stay for more than three days. This has meant we can test different hostels in Cusco, Peru for you and report back on where to stay in this small city. Kokopelli I love this hostel. If you are looking for an electric vibe in the touristy area this is The One. Kokopelli is a chain of hostels, they also offer accommodation in Lima, Paracas and Mancora (both Paracas and Mancora have swimming pools) so we were keen to try one out. The hostel offers 10, 8, 6, 4 and 3 bunk dorms; private rooms and uniquely an 8 bed ‘pod’ room (room 105). The hostel really caters for all budgets. For our first night we stayed in the 10 bed dorm with a private bathroom and a door which directly opens on to the garden (33 soles / £7). Cute. Each bed has a wooden box ‘locker’ big enough to store your backpack for safety. The usual issues come with a l...
