Selgas Cano Architecture Office

There are becoming more and more offices that are beginning to offer their employees a better working environment. Most are as you would suspect, creative IT companies such as Google, Twitter, Facebook and Skype whilst others are involved in some sort of animation and graphics like Pixar and Cartoon Network. All of these are known for the way that they cater to their employees, doing the unimaginable extras that will make them each feel relaxed, at home and enjoying their time in the office. Offices like these also hold an image and reputation that creates a vision of what clients and visitors expect to see in the office when there.

Dyson DC40 Allergy

Your home should be a place where you can relax and feel comfortable. Unfortunately, for many  allergy and asthma sufferers, this can be far from the truth. Many of the allergens present in the home  settle in your carpet, so it makes sense to have a high quality vacuum cleaner to remove all the nasties.  New to the Australian market in April 2012 is the compact & upright Dyson DC40 Allergy, a partner  to the larger DC41 upright vacuum. The DC40 features a Lifetime HEPA filter, for cleaner expelled  air.

Dyson DC38 Multi Floor

DC38 Multi floor – Compact Ball Barrel Vacuum:  More of us are sacrificing the picket-fence-dream home for inner-city living, and councils are  approving more unit developments in our suburbs. This means we’re losing valuable space in our  homes. It is becoming more and more apparent that embracing the “mini” is crucial, but what about  your vacuum cleaner?  Too often, vacuum cleaners are heavy, chunky and an awkward size and shape…meaning storing  them becomes a headache, and manoeuvring them in small spaces becomes almost impossible.  Dyson has a solution to this growing need to downsize; with the release of the DC38.

Philips Living Colours

Have you ever imagined what it would be like if the world was blue, green, red or pink? Well, wonder no more with Philips creation of the Living Colours LED lamp. Although this product has been on the market for a few years now, the 2nd generation lamps offer fifty percent more brightness than their predecessors. The product offers long lasting enjoyment, with high powered LEDs for an exhilarating home experience. Sixteen million colours can be achieved with the lamp, by brushing your finger across the portable remote control screen. The device is certainly addictive; watching the room around you to transform into every colour of the rainbow, or even pure white. The remote uses RF (Radio Frequency) technology instead of conventional Infrared technology, meaning it does not require line of sight. This is useful for re-adjusting when the device is hidden or tucked away. And for an even more thrilling experience, it is possible to link two lamps to one remote; to light a larger living space or if you desire a more intensely lit area. Another plus is that this product is highly versatile. Whether you require a bright, fun lighting solution for the kid’s bedrooms or a decorative lighting alternative to complement a room’s features, this product is a designers dream.

How to Make Friends – Without Facebook

I found my best friend when I was five years old; we were both nervously sitting in the unfamiliar area of the kindergarten classroom. We shared a mutual feeling of anxiousness and somehow we just clicked. I grabbed her hand and said “Do you want to be my friend?” She smiled with a simple “Yes” and that was it, she’s been my best friend ever since.
