If for a long time now the bathroom you have been using is boring and staid to look at, it is time to spruce it up with some lovely bathroom accessories like bathroom trays and wall decals. This is one of the easiest ways to have a makeover in the bathroom and add some new interest into a room that is used every day and yet suffers neglect in terms of aesthetics. Bathroom wall decals, for example, are a quick and easy solution to bathroom boredom and they come in a huge variety of options, textures, designs, styles, and colors. Bathroom wall decals and bathroom accessories similar to these are essentially nice looking stickers that come in the form of different graphics and designs that can be easily stuck on a wall and help enhance the look of the interior space that was previously bare. Since they are so easy to use, clean and remove, their popularity is growing in the bathroom designing industry. Similarly, other bathroom accessories like bathroom trays are also used to enhance the look of a space known as the bathroom. But just like bathroom wall decals, once needs to decide beforehand, even before buying them, as to where they would place them. The placement of any bathroom accessory like a bathroom wall decal or a bathroom tray is an important decision. First, the place needs to have enough space to fit the bathroom accessory. Second, it must be clean and also be a relatively smooth surface. The colors on the area surrounding the wall decal will also matter, as not all bathroom wall decals look good in a given space. The size of the space where the bathroom accessory is going to be also placed matters. One should look at the size of the space available before purchasing a bathroom accessory like a bathroom tray or a bathroom wall decal. Most accessories are priced according to the size, especially in terms of bathroom accessories. For example, a giant wall decal will probably cost a lot more than a smaller one. Some bathroom wall decals come in parts, so one can easily put them in different areas of the bathroom to create a mood or a theme, while other wall decals are not in parts and so can only be put together in one place. For a small area or space, one can go for a small wall decal in a beautiful color, pattern, theme or graphic, and design. If only a tiny space that is vertical is available, a tall and slim wall decal may be used. If the space is longer in width than height, a slight landscape type of wall decal can be stuck. The options are plenty. Another thing that bathroom accessories like wall decals and bath trays help to do is create a pleasant mood. Since every room in any home that has been done up with a sense of aesthetic has a particular atmosphere, it should be noted that the choice of the bathroom accessory will also help set the tone or a mood.

Everyone wants obedient and good-looking hair all the time. Most often, though, we all go through bad hair days. The reasons for thin hair may be heavy hair loss, a lack of maintenance, or poor natural texture, and so on. Styling thin hair is always a bit of a task, as it tends to appear flat and rather lifeless. Here are some effective haircuts for thin hair; these are designed to make your hair look cool and gorgeous. Layered Bob Haircut This layered side-parted bob haircut helps your hair to appear full and fluffy. Light dimension hair colors will be an added advantage to give your thin hair a perfect look. Mauve Shaggy Bob The main problem for thin hair is the lack of body. To create the illusion of the body, one can use layers of the shaggy cut. These layers make your hair look more dense and attractive. This can also be achieved using dye. Apply dark colors in the denser parts of your hair and light colors at the roots. This will add appeal. Parisian Shag This is the most searched hairstyle nowadays. These messy waves are suitable for any occasion whether a date, party or an interview. This is also known as "French girl hair". Waves not only make your hair look good, but also create an illusion of volume. Classic 90's Bob This retro trend is coming back again. The classic bob look from the 90's is the best choice for thin hair. It features heavy volumes at the crown. This makes your thin hair look perfect, and its best. Layering and Ombre For those who don't want to cut their hair short yet make it look full, here's a haircut for you. Only layering can provide you the cute flicks which help to organize the thin hair in the most beautiful way. This cut is suitable for different hair styles too.

Hence one with fine hair should always choose the haircut with light layers and slight waves with color transitions. This serves you best.

Hot water heaters are an essential part of any modern household, and truth be told, they are perhaps used more frequently by more number of people than any other electrical appliance at home. As water pumps into the heater, dirt and sediments settle at the bottom and can sometimes create a thick layer that slowly erodes the unit. Although, how quickly the sedimentation will take place or become damagingly thick depends on the quality of water in your area, it has a huge effect on the efficiency of the water heater and can be permanently damaging if left unchecked for too long a period. To prevent such cases, the least one can do to ensure the longevity and efficiency of a hot water heater is to follow a simple routine of maintenance. Below is a step-by-step guide to the most reliable routine:   Adjusting the thermostat Always make sure that the thermostat is properly adjusted to the temperature that you require. This will not only ensure that you don’t run the risk of scalding, but is also highly energy-saving because every ten degrees you lower the temperature saves up to 5 per cent energy!   Maintaining a distance A clearance of two to three feet around the installation area must always be maintained, if the manual does not specifically state otherwise.   Draining your hot water heater Like every other electrical appliance, your hot water heater also needs to be drained at least once a year and cleaned inside out. Turn off the water supply to the heater, and hold a garden hose to the drain valve and run it into a bucket until the water is clear. This helps remove the sediment and debris inside the heater. If the water remains muddy, stir up the sediment, repeat the procedure and drain the tank once again. One of the added benefits of this is that it makes the heater run more smoothly and quietly.   Annually testing the relief valve Remember to test the temperature-pressure relief valve by quickly discharging it two to three times, and keep an eye out for small leaks from the valve that are usual after prolonged use.   Examining and replacing the anode rod The anode rod must be examined at least once every three years. To do so, simply loosen the head screw, and then remove it. Replace the anode rod if more than six inches of the core steel wire is exposed or if the rod is less than ½ inch thick. You should also replace it if it is entirely coated with calcium. An overused anode rod is as much responsible for cloudy water as is sedimentation from disuse. Insulate older units Older units can be insulated with fiberglass jackets to improve and ensure efficiency even after prolonged use. This is also a measure towards safety as far as contact with the flue is concerned. Newer units are usually already insulated. If you are not sure whether your hot water heater is insulated or not, start by first checking the owner’s manual. If that does not tell you (which it should), then contact the dealer/ seller and make sure. Along with the unit itself, remember also to insulate both the hot and cold water pipes.   Leaving town and heater maintenance Often, users forget to make proper arrangements to take care of their electrical and electronic appliances before leaving for that long-awaited vacation or for a last-minute trip. This can be more damaging for our appliances than we would assume. Always adjust the thermostat on heaters to “vacation” setting, which maintains the pilot light without heating the water. However, if such an option is not available on the unit that you are using, then simply remember to turn off the heater from the main connection.
