Staging Your Guests Rooms to Make it Look Like a Luxury Spa

!±8± Staging Your Guests Rooms to Make it Look Like a Luxury Spa

With the Spring and Summer slowly approaching us, we will all probably be guests of someone or will have guests staying with us. If relatives or friends are planning on visiting you anytime of the year, make them feel welcome by doing a few special things that will make them more comfortable while being away from their homes.

It will not only make them feel special, but let them know that you were thinking about them, and want them to have an enjoyable stay.

I've stayed thousands of nights away from home and boy does it make a difference when your hotel or host provides special touches. So think boutique hotels which lend a more personal touch to their guests when getting your space ready.

Sometimes guests just want to retire to the bedroom just to relax or be alone for a while. It makes it much more enjoyable if there is more than just a bed in the room. Pamper your house guests with some of these suggestions.

Here are a few tips and ideas to use year round for staging their rooms:

Lets start in the bedroom.

A place for them to set their luggage for unpacking and then a place to store luggage. A small bowl of potpourri, or scented diffuser (not too overpowering, and be aware of people that are sensitive of scents). A place for their belongings. Make sure drawers and closets are cleared out with plenty of hangers, even the ones with clips on them. Fresh new linens, not your leftover mismatched ones. (I love fluffy comforters with duvet covers). New comfortable pillows. (This is my biggest pet peeve. I've had to sleep on some of the worst pillows in some of the finest hotels. Hotels seem to skimp on the pillows unless they are feather, and I'm allergic to them, and I don't like the way they flatten down, so I carry my own. It can really make or break your stay, and your guest may not feel comfortable telling you your pillows are like bricks or flat as pancakes). A comfortable mattress. (Another pet peeve. Again, hotels skimp on this main event in the guestroom. I can not tell you, how many horrible mattresses I've had to sleep on, and I'm not talking low budget hotels, I'm talking 4 & 5 star luxury hotels. If you don't have have a reasonably good mattress, buy a memory foam topper- I like the 4" thick one. They are very reasonably priced, and make a world of difference) Brad Pitt (Yes, the actor) says the perfect combination for a bed is a pillow top mattress with a tempur-pedic topper. And Brad can afford the best, this is what I had, before Brad came up with this combo and it it heaven! Extra pillows and blankets in the closet. Robes hanging in the closet. If it's summer and you don't have a ceiling fan, provide a small tabletop fan, especially if you don't have air conditioning. Bottled water and glasses for their first night. Fresh flowers on the dresser or nightstand. A lamp to read by. A few interesting books and magazines and a deck of cards. A dish with some candy or mints. A nightlight so they don't stumble around in the dark. A box of tissues. A small notepad with pen. A comfy throw to use if wanting to take a nap, or just to cover up without getting into the bed. A basket or plastic bag with pull ties in the closet to put dirty clothing items in. A TV and radio if possible. A clock with an alarm. A telephone. Internet access if possible. And if you have the room, an iron and ironing board in the closet comes in handy for those wrinkled clothes. Eye Patches & Ear Plugs. (this may be over the top for some, but if your room is extremely sunny, or noisy from road noise and they are used to a dark quite room, they will be extremely grateful). And for the ultimate, provide a small coffee pot and cups with condiments. And if you really want to add something extra special, especially if it's a couple, provide a bottle of wine, glasses and opener.

In The Bathroom:

An amenities basket with shampoo, lotion, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, Q-tips, cotton balls or pads, razors and small items they may have forgotten. Basic medicine like aspirin, Tylenol, Rolaids and some band aids. Fresh plush bath towels, face towels, washcloths and spa type bath rug for shower and tub. If multiple people are using the same bathroom, provide a basket of nicer dinner napkins as an option as not to spread germs. Hair Dryer. Also, if multiple people are using one bathroom, provide disinfectant wipes and spray, as not to spread germs and wipe down counters and toilets after use, or before use. Fresh soap (still in wrapper). Pump soap next to sink. If they enjoy baths, impress with an assortment of bath salts, fizzes, oils and bubbles. Small disposable or real glasses for brushing teeth. Extra rolls of toilet paper (Extra soft 2-ply). Air Freshener spray. A Box of tissues. Eye make-up remover cloths or a set of washcloths guests can use. Night light. Magnifying Make-up mirror. Toilet plunger. (Hopefully the one item a guest will not need to use!)

I don't recommend candles. They are great, but I've known people that have gone off and left them burning when going to sleep or leaving the house. Way too risky!

Tips in Choosing a Professional Hair Dryer

!±8± Tips in Choosing a Professional Hair Dryer

For all ages, people have been experimenting and enjoying styling their hair. A person always takes care of his or her hair, no matter if the way is simple as running a comb or as complex as putting various chemicals, since that distinctive feature of the human body is a person's crown of beauty.

With the invention of electrical hairstyling devices, hairstyling becomes very easy, convenient, and fun. There are now heat combs, hair curlers, and hair irons in addition to the endless variety of setting and coloring chemicals.

One of the most common hairstyling electrical appliances is the hair dryer. A hair dryer blows out a jet of hot air to dry and style one's hair. In a store, you can find hundreds of styles, shapes, and sizes of hair dryers that are displayed on the shelves.

Which brings us to the question, what hair dryer is best for you? You need to exercise a bit of care in choosing one so you can avoid buying something that is more expensive and elaborate than you need.

Here are some tips on how to buy the right hair dryer for you.

1. Choose one that is above 1,800 watts. Professional hair dryers at this range are generally better than those that have less wattage.

2. Be on the lookout for dryers with multiple settings on heat and speed. The ideal ones have four to six settings for each aspect. Also check for dryers with cool-shot buttons. This buttons lock the hair in place after it is styled.

3. Never buy hair dryers without any attachment. A good quality dryer always has a variety of attachments. These attachments allow you to concentrate the air when you blow dry your hair.

4. If you have extremely curly hair, it would be good if you buy a hair dryer with a diffuser. This will make heat drying your curly hair easier and more even. If your hair dryer does not have a diffuser, you can buy a diffuser attachment.

5. Do not buy a dryer just because it is very cheap. Dirt cheap dryers only have a very few options that you can use and can wear down quite quickly. Furthermore, they can actually damage hair since most do not have the proper speed or heat controls or attachments. Without these features, these dirt-cheap dryers can scorch your hair.

6. If you can afford it, buy a professional hair dryer, the one that you can find in hair salons. These dryers feature new technologies such as the use of ionic and ceramic energy to lessen the drying time.

Due to the materials that compose them, these dryers last longer than a moderately expensive dryer. The motors are more powerful and feature safety systems. Also, the motors provide more horsepower than cheaper counterparts and can resist long periods of high heat.

These expensive models are also recommended if you use your dryer daily.

7. When you are okay with the price and the features, you can now choose the color, style, design, etc of the hair dryer.
