Save The Enviroment With A Cordless Vacuum

You know what is the excuse that is often used by the children in the house (including me, of course) when mom asks us to clean the house? "I can't see any dusk yet and it's not dirty. We'll save a lot more electricity if we clean it all at once when it is really dirty." That's the best excuse we've used so far. Haha. What we said it's true in a way. We'd consume so much more electricity if we were to clean the house everyday, right? I might sound lazy but that's a fact. Wasting electricity is not environment friendly at all. That's another fact you all need to take note of.

I realized that cleaning was one of the contributors to all the bruises on my body especially the leg. I tend to get my legs tangled with the wires of the vacuum cleaner plugged onto the socket on the wall. That is another reason why I hate cleaning. I couldn't afford a maid to clean for me. So what I used to do is to wait till the dusk gets thick enough to be noticed only start cleaning. LOL. Don't be surprised as I know there are a lot of people out who practice the same method in order to save electricity and energy.

But I guess I won't have any reasons to not clean anymore now. Dirt Devil has come out with two new products called the AccuCharge Stick Vac and Hand Vac. These are the first cordless cleaning technology to earn Energy Star approval. These new products consume 70% less energy. Do the calculation and you'd realize the huge sum of money you could save on electricity bill. Cordless would means no more tripping down like a clumsy girl anymore!

First Cordless Vacuums

I complaint a lot when I'm forced to clean any part of the house because there is just too much of things in every corner and the dusk is one of the hardest thing to get rid of. Those little gadgets or decorative collect dusks easily and needs to be cleaned often since I'm allergic to almost everything, including dusk.

After hearing stories from friends who are renting houses out there with other friends about how dirty their housemates are, I am grateful that I only need to clean my own things and not others' as well. When you rent a room a stay with strangers, you tend to get lazy to clean especially when others are not cleaning as well unless you're a clean freak then that's another matter.

I stumbled upon a website that might be useful to friends out who find cleaning is troublesome. Dirt Devil is the solution for you. Vacuum has been a great invention for those who clean. But now it is even better. Dirt Devil has introduced the first ever cordless cleansing technology and has become the first of such company to get approval by Energy Star. The new AccuCharge Stick Vac and Hand Vac helps to save energy by using 70% less energy compared to your average vacuum cleaners. It is convenient and easy to use as well as environment friendly.

You know what I'm planning to do right after this? I'm going to ask my mom to get one! :) Then I wouldn't need to secretly let the dog in to lick the floor if I dropped any food. Haha.

Make Your Mark at RD.com!

Ever question the impact that an individual has on Earth? Do you ever have any doubts when someone tells you what you do today may affect greatly on others from different part of the world? Some may not believe in this but I truly believe that a single individual has the power to create change to others' life as well as the environment as a whole.

In the mission of creating more awareness on this matter, Reader's Digest has created a section called RD.com - Make Your Mark where they publish articles about what people are doing in the effort of making a difference in people's life. These articles are very good in the sense that it teaches you how important your every doing is and how vital to think of others as well. If you too would like to make a difference, please go ahead. It doesn't have to be something big. Start with something small where you're capable of doing and I bet you'll feel a lot better after that. Helping others is a great way to give back the society. Who can also join the others who have made a difference in the world by get going and do something now rather than just thinking about it. You may then join the weekly challenge held by RD.com - Make Your Mark section in Reader's Digest. There have been individuals such as Helen Little who have joined the challenge. I'm touched with her mission in Haiti, trying to send children to school because she believes that education is the way out of poverty. I could not agree less with her thinking. I'm glad that Reader's Digest has been involved in such activities and publishes amazing articles that really should be read by everyone. Reader's Digest Homepage is where you could get more details about all these.

Go Green With Silk

Imagine there are no flowers or any sort of plants in your neighborhood at all. Life would be so dull without the greens, yellows, reds, etc from the plants. Not many know that colors and plants play an important role in our lives. They are able to influence your mood, your emotions and they can even heal sickness such as stress and depression.

Unfortunately, there are some of us who are prone to allergies. I personally have suffered from allergies of many types. I usually have to bear with the unbearable itchiness on the whole body. The boyfriend on the other hand is just the same. But his condition is worse than mine. He sneezes, coughs, have swollen eyes and sometimes even fever. It's no easy job to find out the cause of all the allergies. So it is better to take precaution action before allergies attack!

The thought of having small beautiful plants in the house is an ideal thought. But we might be allergy to the pollen. So by smelling the natural plants might cause some of us to suffer one way or another. I don't think there's anyone who would sacrifice their own health to beautify their houses.

We are blessed with the existence of silk plants. It is the best substitute for natural plants as the plastic ones usually accumulate more dust in the house. These faux plants are easy to maintain. You do not need to water them or even worried sniffing any pollen into your body. Besides, it is a good way to help the government protect and save the environment since no cutting of trees is required.
