Drying After Showering: No Towel Needed

March 28, 2013 By EmmanuelFonte Leave a Comment

What if I told you there was product that would prevent you from that awful moment you encounter every time you step out of the shower into the cold air. Would you be interested? What if I told you this product would save you from doing loads and loads of towels each month? Sounding even better?

I thought so.

Introducing, my latest internet discovery, the Tornado Body Dryer. This is one of times where you say “where has this been all my life?!”

The tornado body dryer can dry your entire body without a towel while you are still in your warm shower enclosure. This is air drying to the extreme!

Finished showering? Stay in your Warm Shower — but Don’t Reach for a Towel!

Let our full body dryer wrap you in a blanket of luxurious swirling warm air that gently, even soothingly, dries your total body [in-shower] head to toes.

This may seem like a wacky invention but I see this as a really cool addition to anyone’s bathroom. I can’t tell you how many times I have almost slipped on our wet bathroom floor and I know I am not the only one who hates those couple of seconds of body shock going from the warm weather to the cold air.

Sleek Self-Contained Kitchen Design Disguises Clutter

March 25, 2013 By EmmanuelFonte Leave a Comment

Everything you need in a kitchen, from appliances to cooking implements, is at your fingertips – yet quickly out of sight – in this smart all-in-one kitchen design. The Logica Kitchen System by Italian kitchen company Valcucine offers a place for absolutely everything you can think of, as well as sliding electrical cord systems for small appliances like toasters and mixers.

Valcucine painstakingly researched the ways in which we interact with our kitchens, determining the best possible layout for optimal convenience and organization. The system consists of a work surface with sinks and burners and an ‘equipped back section’ that can be placed against the wall or used in an island in the middle of the room.

This back section is fitted with plate, knife and bottle racks, hooks for utensils, and storage space for virtually every kitchen implement you can think of as well as a cooker hood, monitor and adjustable sockets. Small storage compartments hold items like spices.

The best part is, when you’re not using the kitchen, you can simply pull down the sliding cabinet doors for a clean look that’s entirely clutter-free.

Moving? There’s An Easier Way

Moving is a pain for everyone, but Moveline can make it a little easier. The service already reaches out to movers on your behalf, gathers estimates, and then presents them to you for comparison, but now Moveline assigns you a personal “Move Captain” that streamlines the process from beginning to end.

The service has expanded to over a dozen major metro areas in the US, has more moving companies under their belt, and makes the moving process even easier. When you sign up, the service gives you a dedicated analyst to help streamline your move. Just tell the service where you are, where you’re going, and provide some information about your move to get started. If you want, you can take a short video tour of your apartment or Facetime your analyst to provide them with more information about your move. This way movers don’t have to visit to provide an estimate.

Moveline will then reach out to movers in your area that are all licensed, insured, and approved by the company, get competitive estimates for you to review, and then share them with you—along with ratings and reviews of each company from other users who have moved with them in the past. From there you can pick the one you want to handle your move.

Moveline’s analysts even offer helpful tips to make the moving process itself easier, like estimating the number of boxes you’ll need to buy, whether you should get a storage container. They’ll help you add services you didn’t know you needed, or just offer ways you can beat back the stress that comes with moving across town or across the country.
