Regardless whether you're a DIY enthusiast, have a hobby in woodworking or metalworking, a career in contracting or simply don't like other men fixing your house problems for you, having the basic hand tools is a must. Anything worth doing is worth doing right, right?...

So your bathroom lacks natural light and view? Don't worry, you're not alone. Even though lighting and fresh air are incredibly important for bathrooms, this aspect is often-times overlooked. However, designers have many tricks and tips that will easily trick the eye to perceive small, enclosed bathrooms as somewhat more spacious and light spaces where one may relax and feel comfortable.

Lighting Is Of Utmost Importance

In boxed-in bathrooms artificial lighting saves the day! But when you buy bathroom lighting for a space that has no contact with the outside world, besides going really bright, make sure the main light also features a fan that can help manage condensation. Making sure that air can circulate is really important and fans are a good way to achieve it. Also, when you have no access to natural light, the key is to make sure you put artificial lights in all the right places. So, before you actually buy bathroom lighting, you need to create a thorough lightening plan. Make sure you put lights as to be able to properly illuminate the face when standing in front of the mirror, use lots of reflective surfaces to carry the light around and put lights in unconventional light locations such as inside the shower, around the mirror and under the vanity.

I could accept a bad hairstyle day or a pair of jeans that the last time they were trendy was the time when Christina Aguilera wore everything but clothes, but I could never in a million years accept wearing an ugly bag! I mean, going out with the wrong bag for the outfit? I'd feel committing a fashion crime and so incomplete! All the bags I have in my closet are there for a reason: some of them are simple, big and roomy which makes them perfect for my work outfit as in them I can keep my snack, a bottle of water, my wallet, keys and a few cosmetic essentials. Others are tiny and stylish, so I wear them usually when I go out. However, whether I choose a tote, a flap or a shopper bag, I always make sure it's functional, affordable and most importantly - that it reflects my personal style.

Communication has always been upgraded in one way or another throughout the history of humankind, but it's not an exaggeration to say it's reached its peak in this century that we have the luck to be part of. Nowadays, all it takes to stay in touch with people who live at a greater distance from us, including overseas, is just a simple click on our electronics and we're instantly connected. Want to send a card, documents or just a friendly note? Get online and send through the email. Yet, despite these advancements, one can't deny the importance of traditional mail.

In the past few years skateboarding has evolved a lot as a sport. First it was the favorite pastime activity of the slackers, then it was attributed to grunge kids from all over the world who listened to Nirvana and acted all rebel-like and extreme,...

Being a parent isn't just about hugs and kisses, in a sense it's basically taking care of someone else's needs. All of them. Take me and my hubby for example. Over the past few years we've tried everything to turn our backyard into a playground. From...

I think it's easy to say that our summer oven has been heated for a long time now and we actually need a little break from it but apparently summer wants us nothing less than medium to well done. Besides the heat, we also have to deal with unbearable humidity that apart from making us toss and turn in our beds at night, it annoyingly plays with our hair and sometimes all a girl wants is to achieve a straight hairstyle, but with our lovely Australian humidity that's literally impossible. And don't even get me started on blow dryers... But then again, who needs dryers with this heat, right? Our blow dryer is the one and only Sun and it won't let us enjoy the pleasure of cold water drops after the shower since it immediately makes them disappear.

Owning a backyard pool is all fun and games until there is some maintenance chore that needs to be done. When daydreaming of having one, we often forget that pools can turn their perfectly blue water into a green and nasty environment, perfect for all...

I love the sun and just can’t get enough of it! As soon as the weather starts clearing up and the sun starts shining in its full splendour, you know where to find me – the long, golden, sandy beaches. Don’t get me wrong, I’m...
