I'm in love with the bookshelf made of wood and pipes. Was is custom made?

I think dishes and taking out the trash is okay, and putting toys in the toy box. But anything more than that is creepy, e.g. laundry, dusting, ironing, vacuuming etc.

My friends have told me that a fern was a traditional house warming gift, but after having moved several times, we've collected a few ferns.

Wine, beer, cakes or brownies always seems to be a welcomed housewarming gift.

Maybe this is a good excuse to recycle an old toaster, and paint it to your desired shade of green?

I work in direct marketing and there are ways to get yourself off the list.

If there is a Do Not Call Registry in your country, do take advantage of the service.

When on the phone with a telemarketer, always request that they take you off the list. Also ask where they have gotten your name and phone number.

Generally there are a few list providers that will have your name, international companies like Axciom and Dun & Bradstreet is a good start. Depending on the country you live in, it is in their best interest to honour your request for privacy.

The Direct Marketing Industry overall respects your privacy and work towards sending you relevant ads, but there's always a few bad apples that ruins it for us.

I love the 3M range as a renter who likes her artwork.

Reading the instructions is essential - and definitely follow the weight guidelines if you're planning on hanging heavy (and breakable) artworks.

I used a 5kg hook for my full length mirror, and it's still going strong, 3 years later.

If peeled off the wall correctly, they won't leave a mark.

I'd recommend it to anyone!

Always wear comfy jeans and t-shirt. A sweater and clean undies is a must.

A good book, ipod and noise-cancelling headphones (swear to god, it makes the inflight entertainment 10x better!)

Paracetamol or aspirins are a must, you'll never know when a headache hits.

Small bottle of water, but you can usually buy this after security.

For 2 adults, we average 1.5 bags of trash and 1 bag of recycling per week.

But this guy does it better, a whole year without throwing anything out.

I grew in Malaysia and it's common for people to have a "bolster" (as we call it). It's very comfy.
