Build Bath & Shower

When life is wearing you down and stressing you out, all that worry doesn't just magically dissipate the moment you climb into bed. In fact, in many ways, laying down to sleep when you're anxious often makes it all feel worse . And that, my friends, is why it's important to know some ways to de-stress before bed, so you can essentially turn it all off and finally get some rest.   Creating that perfect soothing routine doesn 't just mean letting go of stress, however. It also means relaxing and getting better sleep — which is, of course, the most important thing when it comes to dealing with life. "Having better quality sleep allows us to be more efficient in our work and communication with others, shows an increase in ability to manage mood, and gives our bodies time to rest [and] rejuvenate," life coach Jess Garay tells Bustle . If you don't allow yourself that time to reset, the following day will likely be just as harrowing. And on and on the vicious cy...

When I moved in, my bathroom was outfitted with basic builder grade components that never really went together and to top it all off, they never really worked properly. I just made do with what I had, but over time, I knew I’d have to renovate this space and make it my own. To make the bathroom magic happen , we’ve partnered with TOTO, the Japanese manufacturer  behind those infamous toilets that do everything for you, and to help bring it all together we’ve brought in online interior design platform , Decorilla, specifically, designer Joyce Elizabeth Tranchida . It’s embarrassing to show these but here’s what I’ve been living with… (sad, I know): I hate the glass hand towel light fixture so much I haven’t even replaced the bulb that’s out! The toilet is so basic it doesn’t even have a brand. My basic, boring bathroom needed some modernization, and a brand-new cohesive look as it’s the only bathroom in my home. If you’ve ever looked around at finished bathrooms, you know just how mu...

Free solo mountaineering puts the climber at constant risk of death. Alex Honnold, pictured here in Kenya, doesn’t seem to care. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE NORTH FACE/TED HESSER Advertisement Alex Honnold was scrambling. This was five years ago, five years before the 31-year-old from Carmichael accomplished the greatest feat in rock- climbing history . It was mid-summer, 2012, and Honnold was on North Palisade in the eastern Sierra Nevada , in trouble. The fourth-highest summit among the 15 peaks in California with 14,000-plus-feet of elevation, North Palisade isn ’t considered particularly technical. But it’s challenging—especially when something goes wrong. Honnold’s plan had been to negotiate all the California 14ers in a two-week span. But he got sidetracked when he pulled off a big chunk of rock, and it was heading his way fast. He recalls the occasion over breakfast at the recent Outdoor Retailer trade show in Salt Lake City . He’s done thousands of climbs, but his issue on the So...
