The Most Comfortable Place In The World: Best Modern Smart Toilets

2:11 PM

Best Modern Smart Toilets

We have smartphones, smart homes and even smart cars. Everything seems to be automated nowadays. Why not invent smart toilets?

Well, good news! They do exist.

Another reason to love modern technology. They make our lives easy and convenient.

I like staying in luxurious places (who doesn't?) because of their amenities. They have the best toilets I've seen. I am especially impressed with those with modern and smart designs.

Modern and smart toilet makes me feel like I've fast forwarded into the future. It makes me feel like a royalty sitting on a throne (no pun intended). And it makes me wish I have it at home.

Here are some features of hi-tech toilets you would love:

Hands-Free Operations. Some models will open the upper seat lid when they detect movement in the bathroom. When you’re finished using the toilet it will flush and close the lid automatically.
Bidet. You can choose a model that incorporates a warm-water spray that helps you become cleaner than using paper products alone.
Air Dry. If you do choose to use a bidet (or a toilet-seat bidet) at home, then you don’t want to pull up your pants while you’re wet. This feature gives you a nice warm drying experience.
Push Button Commands. If the unit doesn’t respond as you want, some models provide commands you can press near the tank where you can manually initiate the features that you desire.

It’s called smart toilet because it’s designed with the user’s convenience and sanitation in mind. I think that’s pretty amazing reason to choose or upgrade to a modern toilet.

But the best comes with a price, doesn't it? What if it's way over your budget? The price varies depending on the design and brand. It ranges from $300 to $1000.

Is it worth it? Well, consider these:

Bluetooth capabilities.
A bidet with a massaging option as it cleans.Air dryer with warm or cool choices.
Heated seats.
Foot warmer.
Self-cleaning features.
Sensors that can detect water leaks.
Emergency flushing that occurs during power outages.

Modern toilets have overflow protection too. It helps save water because it’s smart enough to know how much gallon is needed for flushing.

If you are living with someone too lazy or forgetful to flush, it has an automatic flushing feature too.

We are constantly evolving and the world is always changing. I think it’s just right that even our home fixtures should go with the change and keep up with what we need.

With the crises going on in our planet like water shortage in some places, we need to contribute to the solution. Even in as simple as investing on a toilet that enables us to save water and power.

Elegant, cozy and smart. That sounds like my dream bathroom all over again. A modern bathroom fit for every royalty in his or her own way.

Whether in a hotel room or at home, toilet and bath should be the most comfortable place. Agree?

There are toilet reviews online which you could peruse in deciding which toilet is best for you.

Tell me, what do you look for in an ideal bathroom or toilet?

Top 10 Tips For Eco-Friendly Travel

Top 10 Tips For Eco-Friendly Travel

1. Move over plastic bag, hello reusable tote

Did you know that plastic bags can take up to 500 years to biodegrade? When travelling it’s best to invest in a reusable shopping bag for picking up essentials in the local market, or for packing your favourite trinkets. Reusable bags not only are eco-friendly but they also come in a variety of patterns, fabrics and styles. Just remember to invest in one that is a plastic alternative.

2. Pack light

The more a plane weighs, the more carbon emissions it produces. So skip packing a variety of outfits and instead pack only for what you need. The environment will thank you.

3. Use public transport

When on holiday use public transport if you can. This means you’ll not be creating any additional carbon emissions from private transport. It will also enrich your travel experience as you’ll get the opportunity to meet locals. If there is also an option to use bicycles or walk around your destination this is a good idea also. Exploring your destination on foot or by bike will allow you to create a personal itinerary that takes in what you want to see. It can also be an incredibly rewarding experience.

4. Travel over land

We know that flying can be the quicker option, but if you cut out just one five-hour flight your carbon footprint will be a lot lighter. Not only that but you will get to see sights you would have overlooked on the plane. From the rolling countryside, tiny villages and curious locals you might find these bus journeys the most magical moments from your trip.

5. Enjoy a local beer

Cut down on your beer mileage and enjoy a local beer instead of opting for a further travelled imported option. Not only will you get to enjoy something that many of your friends will have never tried, but your tipple will also be low-carbon!

6. Make yourself at home in your hotel

When staying in your hotel treat it as if you were at home. Don’t request clean towels daily when they’re not needed and avoid long hot showers. Something we often forget in hotels is to turn off lights, the aircon and the TV when we leave the room.

7. Choose a Carbon Offset Holiday

Unfortunately, when travelling you can’t avoid all carbon emissions. If you really want to travel eco-friendly then look into booking a holiday with a travel company that offers to offset your carbon emissions or one that accounts for your trip. There are many companies out there that can help you stay conscious of this and that can offer a holiday that will keep your emissions low.

8. Avoid bottled water

Plastic bottles account for a huge amount of environmental waste and pollute our oceans. If possible you can bring a reusable water bottle that can be filled with safe water from your hotel for free. If you are going to be backpacking and won’t always have access to clean water then it’s a good idea to invest in a filtered water bottle. These bottles come with a filter installed that will purify undrinkable water, allowing you to drink without having to pay for expensive bottles of water and offset the carbon emissions caused by using the plastic option.

9. Don’t stray from the path

When on a hiking trip always stay on the marked trails and remember to keep a safe distance from any animals you see. Do not approach wild animals in their natural habitat, we’ve all heard the story about the poor dolphin who died whilst people rushed to get a selfie. Also if you go off the path you may trample or damage protected flora and fauna. The path is there for a reason, use your common sense and follow it!

10. Power in numbers

Travelling in a smaller group tends to have less of an environmental impact so if you are travelling with a tour operator enquire about what their group sizes are before you book. Another handy tip would be to ask them how they give back to the local community, this will help you determine which tour operator to book with as you’ll want to go with a tour operator that values the local community and helps empower the local tourist industry.

How Millennials Are Redefining The Wedding Industry

5:23 PM

IBIS Worldas early in age

How Millennials are Redefining the Wedding Industry

1. Variety of Venues - A growing trend in weddings is to stray away from the traditional church wedding and banquet hall for the reception. Millennials are instead booking venues that double as both the wedding ceremony and reception area.

A growing trend in unconventional wedding spaces such as barns and vineyards is increasing also. These venues allow for more customizable decorating and give great options for indoor or outdoor weddings.

Many couples are also choosing venues that hold some sort of special meaning in their relationships such as the place they met or museums that they enjoy.

2. DIY - Even though millennials are spending more on their weddings than any other generation, that still does not prevent them from seeking out ways to cut costs. DIY elements can often easily be incorporated into little aspects of a wedding such as with giveaways or little decor accents.

This allows couples to incorporate something more personalized and customized to their wedding. This helps keep their wedding on budget while also incorporating something unique to their wedding instead of just having another “cookie cutter” wedding.

3. Personalization - Along with DIY, millennials are obsessed with incorporating personalization elements into their weddings. This comes down to every single element of the wedding planning process.

Even engagement rings are experiencing a trend in personalization. More and more couples are looking for custom rings that they design together. This makes it easier to select the best quality diamond to put in a custom setting.

Couples are also much more concerned about the origin and quality of a diamond such as its fluorescence quality. Fluorescence in a diamond might not necessarily make one diamond better than another but brides might want to be aware how much of a blue glow their diamond might give off in certain lighting.

Couples are much more designed inclined and that shows in their wedding choices. This trend towards designed weddings can be traced to the surge in the role of social media in weddings.

4. Social Media - By far, social media is the biggest reason the wedding industry has been redefined and navigated by millennials.

Instagram and Pinterest being the wedding industry’s go-to for figuring out wedding trends. Instead of looking at wedding magazines or consulting wedding planners, couples are instead looking to these two platforms for ideas and inspiration for their own ceremonies.

Both platforms can explain why couples are so image conscious over their weddings. Couples now take into consideration how photo friendly their weddings are because of Instagram and Pinterest.

This investment in creating photogenic weddings also pushes couples to add some customization and unique experiences into their weddings.

5. Experiences over Traditions - Millennial couples are also changing the wedding industry by the type of weddings they favor. More and more millennials are opting to choosing experiences over traditions. A clear sign of that is the growth in destination weddings.

According to WeddingWire, one in four weddings are destination weddings and that statistic seems to be growing. Couples are also looking to include experiences within their wedding by adding unique kinds of experiences such as a cigar bar and trendy entertainment such as aura photography.

Millennials are redefining the wedding industry by choosing more personalized decorations and experiences for their weddings. Weddings today are all about incorporating unique elements that reflect the experiences of a couple’s relationship. While this may be the trend for millennials who are getting married now, the wedding industry may see a change in the future.

Fake Reviews For Babyonlinedress

Fake Reviews On Babyonlinedress and other fashion brands

They're making it look like we are the liars and we are only doing it "maybe because of grudge against the company" as one review says.

Giphy I have received offers to post a fake review When I was just starting on my blog, I received banner ad requests from a lot of fashion brands.
Little did I know that a few months later, some of these brands would come back and ask to work for another project with them again. A fraud one!
I feel sorry for their victims who claimed that:

they never received the item
they received something that does not look anything like the item in the photo
or nobody is answering their call or email asking for a refund

Fake Reviews for Babyonlinedress and other Brands

I have warned some close friends and the wedding group I joined on FB about these brands:

Babyonlinedress
27dresses
Just Fashion Now
Stylewe
Popjulia
Joracon
Shoespie
Luvyle
Lukalula
Selaros

But I feel like it is my obligation to warn everyone I could reach and appeal to my fellow bloggers or online influencers to please, please, PLEASE not accept the offer.
Because sadly, there are those who agree in exchange for a few dollars.

I am hopeful though that there are still people out there whose credibility cannot be bought.
As I've said here before, somehow blogging transcends from being just a hobby to being an extension of our lives. It is our online presence. It reflects who we are.
Anyway, I will let these screenshots be proof enough that these brands are making money out of deception.

They forgot to BCC the recipients on their email. This message was sent to 73 recipients including myself and sad to say, some responded that they are interested.

I had a feeling that this was another fraud offer judging from the many requirements and the low budget so I asked for more details. And I was right!

Stylewe email offer to post fake review part 2

Stylewe email offer to post fake review part 3

I contacted Trustpilot, Sitejabber and other review sites and they are thankful for my exposé.

They have been working internally on how to avoid and filter fake reviews which makes me happy. Because that means they're taking these frauds as seriously as I am.

For my wedding, I bought my bridesmaids dresses online based on a recommendation from the Facebook group I've been a member of for a while now.

So I understand the importance of reviews.

How can we tell now which ones are real and which ones are false? I wish I have the correct answer.

What you can do

Buying online is a huge risk. Especially if the item is for a major event or special occasion and doesn't come cheap.

My advice then to avoid becoming a victim of these fraud companies is to:

Do your own research. That's why I posted this because in case you're looking for proof if you could trust the 5-star reviews you see, here it is.

Ask around. When I was doing research for wedding suppliers, I didn't only read the reviews but I also contacted those who posted a bad review and asked if their issue has been resolved or not. I also asked friends if they have a personal experience with the company or know someone who does.

Trust your gut. If you think it's too good to be true, it probably is. Follow your intuition. If something's not right, don't buy.

Buy from physical store. As much as possible, buy from a store where you can see the actual product. At least you know if there is a problem right away and you can go back if you need a refund or exchange.

I understand the convenience of online shopping. I've bought stuff online too.

In the past, I have also worked with some brands.

But I see to it that I post an objective review even when I received the item for free. I would always add the disclaimer that all opinions are my own.

At the end of the day, my blog is not just for me to express my thoughts and rants about life and love. It is not just for sharing my experiences and travels. It's my service to others.

The least I could do in exchange for the time you give me by reading my posts is to be as honest and real to you as possible.

I hope you find this review before you buy from any of these brands.

Are you also buying online? How do you distinguish a genuine review from a fake one?

What Are The Benefits To Online Study

9:42 PM

There are many challenges facing colleges and universities at the moment with higher tuition fees, course shortages and government budget cuts so it’s no wonder that students are looking for alternative ways to study. Many are now looking to learning online so that their education fits around their agenda and everyday life, from undergraduates to adult learners.

What are the Benefits to Online Study

Due to learning online constantly improving and the reputation for doing so growing all the time, this means its an option that can’t be ignored by universities so they are spending a lot of money upgrading their courses to make them attractive to everyone.

Variety of Life

There are now a huge variety of courses that can be undertaken at four-year universities and online so no matter if you want to study psychology at university or take an online thanatology degree, higher education can be available to all because of the diversity of choice.

Saving Money

Studying online is always going to be the cheaper option when comparing it to being at a physical university as although the online course is not necessarily going to be any cheaper, there are other associated costs that are.

There are no commuting costs into college each day so that’s a big saving on either bus fees, or fuel and car costs. You won’t have refreshment costs such as lunch and breaks and the course materials will be less as many of the resources needed, such as textbooks, can be found online for no extra cost.

The Convenience

This point is a big pull for people looking to study alongside their current jobs as this means these professionals are not able to spend hours in a classroom environment. They need programs that are flexible to their needs and online courses can be just that. The same can also be said for parents wanting to study so they can do it when the children are at school or in bed.

You can access course material online so don’t need to be ruled by library opening times as well as wearing what you want to study so not spending hours getting ready for college if your appearance means a lot to you!

Better Support

By studying online, you are going to be able to access a larger range of University professors because even if they live in a different state, by just having to log into a computer to teach means that the best of that field can be utilized to teach. It also means that you don’t have to make appointments to receive support as this can be done by email and Skype conversations.

With more people needing flexibility in their professional development, online learning is the most convenient way to learn. It is also very cost effective and means that there are many avenues for support when doing your course as you not only have the easier route of connecting with support staff online, but you can also access support materials online too.
