Modern life is bad for us – bad for our bodies, that is. Almost every household has a computer, with many owning mobile devices that encourage us to hunch our shoulders, bend our back, and generally achieve a posture that is not only unattractive but also harmful. Fortunately, for gadget lovers, there are a few tools that a person worried about their posture can use to correct it.

They say that you shouldn’t be looking at your laptop, phone, or tablet just before sleep as it will interfere with your sleep pattern. I’m guilty of doing that pretty much every single night. Over the last few years, I have been getting pretty terrible sleep. I don’t know if it’s actually from my laptop and phone but it could explain my lack of sleep. I’m too addicted to my phone to actually test this out. If you have trouble falling asleep whether phone related or not, you might want to consider the Holi SleepCompanion light bulb.

People always ask me why I don’t wear sunglasses. Until a few weeks ago, I would never wear sunglasses because no matter which design I picked, sunglasses just don’t suit my face. Because I drive a lot these days in the early morning, I’ve realized that I need to start wearing sunglasses for road safety reasons. To start off, I bought a cheap pair that I can damage and lose without having to dig deep in my wallet to replace them. But perhaps I don’t need to wear sunglasses after all thanks to the Glare Vis’r Sun Shield by Trillium.

When most people think of sharks, a terrifying sea creature usually comes to mind. But can we really blame people that have fear of sharks? With movies like JAWS and Deep Blue Sea, I’d also be afraid of taking a dip in the ocean. If you are an avid lover of the ocean waters but are always feeling uneasy about unwanted guests then the FREEDOM7 Shark Shield is something you need to consider for your next ocean adventure.

Although my wife is in her late 20’s, she still happens to be scared of the dark and I’ve had to walk her to the washroom only feet away from our bedroom in the middle of the night on a couple of occasions. I’m not frugal by any means but I do not like the idea of wasting electricity overnight by keeping the bathroom light on or even a night light. The next best option I came across is the Listello Flat Tile that glow in the dark!

I love water and it happens to be my favorite drink…followed by Pepsi. I try my best to save water where I can and the best method I’ve found so far for showers is to rinse the body to get it wet and then turning off the shower while shampooing and soaping the body. I’ve never calculated how much that saves but I’m certain it’s a significant amount. Of course there are some days when I feel cold and I just stand under the hot water for extended periods of time but not without feeling guilty about it. The Nebia Shower is currently being funded on Kickstarter and is making a big splash.

Fire is a beautiful thing. Not only is it great to look at but it can help life thrive but it can also be deadly. One of my favorite things to do is to sit in front of a fire pit and watch the wood logs burn on a cold night and listen to the crackling sounds. If you haven’t been camping and sat in front of a fire pit, I would highly recommend it. This year has not been good for camping in our neck of the woods due to a drought and there is a campfire ban in place until further notice. Thankfully the campsites had propane fire pits for rent as an alternate option.

When it comes to keeping your home safe you probably think about the usual hardware; locks, padlocks, alarms and maybe even safes. However, safes are not just large metal cabinets with complicated dial locks that sit behind paintings in big houses, like in the movies. They provide a real security solution for many homes across the country and they come in all shapes and sizes.
