There’s this group of people I find particularly interesting: they love camping so much, but don’t really want to deal and be involved in the whole process of preparing and setting up the tent. I’ve heard so many funny stories about people who were really enthusiastic about spending a night or two under the night sky watching the stars, but then came home completely exhausted, frightened, and disappointed. Not because it wasn’t good, but because they couldn’t experience all that goodness they were supposed to. They were either completely in the dark because they didn’t know how to light a fire, or they were fighting to keep their tent on the ground. Rookies. I’ve been camping long enough to know a thing or two about [&hellip

The SMSF is still an uncharted territory for many Australians. If you are one of them and want to start investing funds for your retirement, you’ve probably considered starting your own SMSF. However, you don’t have the necessary knowledge, you’re still hesitant and all the information about the fund is a bit overwhelming to take all at once. But worry not, there are companies that offer SMSF administrators that can guide you through the beginning of it all until you feel comfortable running it on your own. The great thing about hiring SMSF administrators is that they’re very flexible. You can decide how much of the work you want to leave to them, and how much you want to handle by yourself. In other words, [&hellip

Becoming exceptionally good in this sport or recreational activity, takes a lot of patience and time paired with efficient learning. At first sight, it may look like something really simple, but only after your first few unsuccessful fishing trips you’ll realize that you couldn’t have been more wrong

I will forever be a candle lover, but unfortunately, I needed to find another way to maintain the wonderful smell in my home since my kids are at that age when they just can’t keep their hands to themselves. Indulging in aromatherapy and investing in an essential oil diffuser for my home turned out to be a great decision, especially since now I know how bad it is to breathe the candle’s synthetic fragrance and the tiny little soot particles that can cause a lot of respiratory problems. I also must confess that the pleasant smell coming from essential oils cannot be compared to the one coming from candles. These devices are simple to use, with an appealing design which except spreading beautiful smell in [&hellip

Ah, home sweet home. No matter how much of a wanderlust mood we’re in, resorting to escapism and seeing new sights, there’s always that one place we long to go back to. As much as the reason for the need to embark on journeys lies in having busy lifestyles that are mainly sedentary, it also has to do with needing a change of scenery other than seeing that same old same old at home. In this case, how does one create such interior comfort that will make it difficult to grow tired of? The answer is simple – instead of a one dimensional (and rather monotonous) home décor, add variation by layers of texture. Mind you, there’s a fine line between aesthetics and clutter. Creating [&hellip

October 13, 2016Electronics

If you are into photography and you regularly set some time aside to learn some new tricks, plus, you do have the eye for it, one thing’s for certain: after a while your skills will improve and you will go from amateur to professional, and this approach normally calls for new, better equipment. As a photographer, you already know the one key piece of equipment is your camera. Therefore, although it is true that what sets the amateur and pro world apart is the additional equipment such as lenses, cleaning and maintenance equipment and the different types of camera stands, it would all be in vain without the right camera. There are many different types of cameras and it seems like every year there’s something [&hellip

One of the most exhilarating sports that allows cyclists to push themselves to the limits in a variety of settings is mountain biking. It consists of riding a specially designed bike through rough terrain. It’s an activity that challenges riders both physically and mentally as they try to navigate through rocks, ravines, valleys, hills and anything that nature puts in front of them.

Our Tips for Royal Quality Sleep

By Maria Rogerson

October 4, 2016Furniture

Besides going to bed after midnight (we all used to quarrel with our parents on the matter when we were teenagers), the reasons for a bad sleep at night further extend to the type of mattress we sleep on. Quite understandable though, sleeping in an uncomfortable position simply can’t result in you waking up all rested and full of energy for the day that’s awaiting for you. And sleeping in an ‘uncomfortable position‘, can mean a lot of things. For example, not having enough space and constantly being pushed by your partner who sleeps over the entire mattress surface. Think it’s his/her fault? Nope. It’s your mattress’s

Probably the best thing about riding a horse is that you’re never alone – there’s your partner, the horse. It’s quite an interesting thing this connection between the horse and the rider. While we’re not so able to understand horses, our emotional and even physical condition is very apparent to them, as claimed by experienced horseback riders
