When decorating a house, the amount of light allowed to enter an area, be it the living room, bedroom, kitchen or even bathroom, plays an important role of setting the mood right. Happy moods are what most family would want for a great and harmonious home.
Curtains, simple as it may be, set the ambience of a room giving it life, providing it with tones and promotes creativity. However, a few more things such as window glasses, vinyl shutters must also be taken into considerations as they are stylish, and come in different designs and colors.
Being thematic in choosing the right material to suit your windows is another way of getting the best out of your room. Having a tinted glass and a blackout curtain may sound like the trend of today but it does not really enhance the mood of your bedroom. It may seem practical for your own privacy but you would not want to sleep and wake up every morning in a black room right?
You should consider getting vinyl shutters as not only are they durable, maintenance free, and heavy duty, they come in many different colors to brighten up your room. Moreover, with the openings, you can still get light into the room and at the same time protect your privacy. Do not forget that your home is also part of your life. Blanket it with thick curtains and dark glasses will block the light from brightening up your life naturally.

I was down with fever for 10 days just a few weeks ago and I lost 15lbs. I was happy with the lost but this is not what I should be doing. I should not be torturing the weak body to sustain more injuries in the future. A healthy body would not get sick so easily. To rectify the problem, I started taking in more nutrients and healthy diets. The longer I went into the non-meat diet, the more I longed for those fatty steaks and burgers.
Within a few days of forcing myself into those supplements which I considered tasteless now, I went into food blogging and ended up eating more lavish and fat content food. I gained more pounds than I ever expected. After every meal, I will laze about not doing anything and the body just bloated up like nobody’s business. Each time I tried to motivate myself to get out of the house to have some exercise, I would just stumble back onto my chair thinking of where to go next for more delicious food.
I thought this is life but I got the perception all wrongly planned. I got weaker and lazier as the time went by. Seeing this situation and how bad a shape I was in, my friend dragged me to the gym for a few days. Initially, it was fun but subsequently after the muscle cramp from each session, I gave up. I also hated the trouble of dressing up in nice sportswear and drive all the way to the gym under such hot humid weather.
Finally, I thought of another way to get those fat burned off in the comfort of my home. I bought myself one of those viewpoint treadmills that combined entertainment and at the same time make me exercise for a fitter body. Not only did I get to monitor my workout progress through the 7” built-in flat screen but at the same time I get to do what I love most – watching my favorite movies through iPod with Theater Quality Sound System. Now this is what I call life and I have never regretted getting such wonderful exercising equipment. If I can do it with ease, why can’t you?

I was asked to take in lots of Vitamin B and memory booster such as Gingko Bibola but I could not do so. I was even asked to consume lots of juices and fluids but still I could not. I dare not take the risk of burning myself out. Why? It is because I am not what I am supposed to be. I am the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the much dependable computer. Day in and out, I will be churning out and processing millions of “0” and “1” and this is taxing my brains out.
This clearly proved that the life of a CPU is rather tedious. Without me, the life of human would not be easy too. All the human ever did was to laze around in front of the monitor and busy keying in lots of raw data. Can you imagine me working nonstop inside that small little humid cubicle of mine, sweating away to get those data processed? If I am too slow in getting my work done, I will also be cursed upon without fail. Sometimes I wondered if that human of mine ever care about my health? I will also need my beautiful rest as human do. Multi-tasking and working endlessly for days without having an opportunity to shut my eyes to have a decent rest, have become such a norm in my life.
I often wondered too if that human of mine realized that a little bit of additional assistance will ease my tension. It is so easy and affordable to just head out to the nearest computer shop to get me a new and upgraded brain. If not, I would not mind having another ram brother to help me out during the busiest hours of my life. Work loads will never stop but at least I will get to finish up all my duties in a shorter period of time. The faster work loads get done, the more chances of me getting more rest. After all, a healthier body will surely have a better mind. Don’t you think so?

tips
It is hardly surprising that the bathrooms of today do not resemble those of yesteryears. Trendy, modern and custom-designed accessories have replaced the once dull, unattractive and lack of sophistication fixtures of the olden times. Elegance and creativity gladly prevail in the bathroom décor of most homes today.
Even a simple bathroom can be just as appealing as its more extravagant counterparts. The best part is that there is no fix set of rules or look to abide. Simplicity also means flexibility and more forgiving towards the wallet. The center theme of a simple bathroom revolves around optimal level of comfort and a tasteful mix and match look. The look can be from carefree, smart casual, all the way to eclectic.
By applying creative coloring scheme, unique tilework, a different combination of accessories such as patterned shower curtains, potted plants, pedestal sinks, tropical look mirrors, wall posters or even some stuffed toys and personal memorabilias will make the whole atmosphere personal and cozier. There is no limit at all on how creative you can be in making that most inner sanctum of your house a relax place to be.
