Build Bath & Shower

College is seriously one of the best times of your life. You probably hear people say that all the time, but it couldn’t be more true. To be honest, I miss it all the time. The classes, the people, all the amazing opportunities and experiences…enjoy it while you can! Freshman year is an extremely transitional period of any young person’s life. Not only are you thrown into this entirely new world, but you’re finally living away from home. Yes, it’s awesome, but it’s also an adjustment especially if you choose the dorm life (which you should, imho ). There are all sorts of things to be aware of when you move into a community-style dorm, particularly when it comes to sharing a bathroom.

When you live at home, you don’t realize how many products you actually use in your morning routine…shower soaps along with your toothbrush, face wash...

You need to get up and start your day, but your body won’t cooperate. Morning stiffness is considered a common characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There is considerable joint pain and stiffness that interferes with physical function as you wake from sleep. It can affect quality of life and has been tied to work loss, too. Stiffness Symptoms and Changes in Perception The 1987 classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis from the American College of Rheumatology listed “ morning stiffness in and around the joints, lasting at least one hour before maximal improvement” among the signs of the condition. However, when the classification criteria was updated in 2010, morning stiffness was not included. The revised criteria focused on earlier stages of rheumatoid arthritis and features that are definitively associated with RA. In fact, while morning stiffness is a common characteristic of RA, it is not specific to RA — it is a characteristic of all inflammatory types of a...

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...

One of the most desired rooms in newly built homes and in additions to existing homes is the master bath suite . A master bath suite is defined as a bathroom that is directly connected to a master bedroom . The master bath suite provides privacy because it is never accessed through common areas like kitchens or hallways. Prominent since the 1950s, but especially popular in today's modern homes, the master bath suite has truly come of age. Terry Kenney, president of the Chicago-Midwest Chapter of the National Kitchen and Bath Association , believes the master bath suite is a necessity for busy couples. "The master bath suite provides efficient use of a bathroom/closet space by providing all the necessary storage for clothing, shoes, linens and personal grooming items in one room, separate from the bedroom. Some homeowners have installed under-counter refrigeration and a coffee maker. If space allows, laundry facilities or exercise areas a...

Your master bedroom is your home away from the rest of your home! Of course, you’ve gone to all the work to ensure that it’s a comfortable place to sleep, live and catch your breath. However, have you put much thought into your master bathroom ? Think of how much time you spend there every morning. If your master bathroom isn ’t as up-to-date as the rest of your home, then perhaps it’s time you went for a redesign. When it comes to master bathrooms , there are so many different things you can do these days! Of course, you’ll want to make sure that you have a wonderful shower to give you that spark you need in the morning. But, what about everything else? Do you have enough space on your master bathrooms counters for his stuff and her stuff? And what about the other accouterments you could have? Doesn’t the idea of having a refreshing and invigorating whirlpool sound attractive ? If you’re thinking about giving your master bathroom an update or if you’re designing one for a new home,...

08/16/2017 - SALT LAKE CITY , Utah (ABC4 News) lightning can be a cool thing to watch from a distance, but it can be very dangerous if you're not careful. Tom Aston from the Utah Red Cross joined Good Morning Utah with Hailey Higgins.Here are a few tips.· Listen to local news or NOAA Weather Radio for emergency updates. Watch for signs of a storm, like darkening skies, lightning flashes or increasing wind.· Postpone outdoor activities if thunderstorms are likely to occur. Many people struck by lightning are not in the area where rain is occurring.· If a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, take shelter in a substantial building or in a vehicle with the windows closed. Get out of mobile homes that can blow over in high winds.· If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be in danger from lightning. If thunder roars, go indoors! The National Weather Service recommends staying inside for at least 30 minutes after the last thunder clap.· Avoid electrical equipment and te...

Rachel Donger A disabled holidaymaker has hit out at a tour operator after staying in a Greek hotel that she said provided almost no specialist facilities for her. Miss Rachel Donger booked in April to stay at the D’ Andrea Mare Hotel in Rhodes with her partner, Phil. Also staying there was her sister, Sophie, and Sophie’s boyfriend, Ben. A wheelchair user, Miss Donger contacted operators Jet2 before booking the holiday to ensure the hotel was equipped for a disabled person. Although Jet2 does not include such details about the hotel on its website, Miss Donger said the firm confirmed in a subsequent telephone conversation and email that the it had a specially-adapted room. Miss Donger agreed to pay an extra £28.71 for the room — on top of the £1,077 she and her partner paid for the holiday — and flew out from East Midlands Airport for the week-long trip, that began on May 17. After taking a specially-booked taxi from the airport to the hotel, Mi...

There it is again. That light tug of the strings that control me. It wakes me up in the morning before the sun does and tells me that I can’t sleep, but I can’t get up and get the day started either. The blankets come up over my head and we are alone. You don’t need to get up yet. You don’t work for two hours. Class doesn’t start until noon. You aren’t that hungry yet. There’s water right there, you can drink that. Fine, go to the bathroom, but come right back. My clingy, controlling, abusive worst friend is the only comfort I have. Crawling back into the warmth of my bed and telling myself, “just a bit longer.” But is it really me telling myself that? As soon as I hit the pillow, he’s back. Welcoming me into the darkness with open arms. Telling me that he is the only one I should talk to, the only one that wants to talk to me. The only one who wants anything to do with me. Everyone else is too busy or too healthy to deal with my problems, so why even bother telling them about him?...

Over the past 6 years of sharing various home renovations, I have been asked SO many questions about Dave and my bathroom, and (more specifically) why we didn’t re-work our plans to create a true en suite with the master bath directly off our master bedroom. As you can see by the image above, our bathroom is only a couple steps from our bedroom door — so definitely not super inconvenient for us at all. However, since I get so many questions about this one issue, I figured I’d share the many reasons we chose not to give ourselves a true “master bath”. But first, here are a few pictures to show you what we were working with.  . Now that you can visualize what our bedroom and bathroom look like, here are main reasons we chose to keep our bathroom separate from our bedroom. 1. We have more usable space. Both our bedroom and our bathroom have more usable space with separate doorways that lead into our short hallway than if we would have tried to make a doorway off our bedroom going directl...
