My Share: IPhone 7 Case By Aulker

I don’t know about you but I am constantly dropping my IPhone 7 – just too much to juggle with a three year old, going to school, dropping her off at grandmas and errands. Too much in my hands as well which makes the phone vulnerable to dropping.

I think that is one of the reasons I like this case so well. It is made at a military style level of protection. The back shell of this phone case is made of premium soft TPU to absorb shock from drops. The frame edge of this protective case is made of durable hard PC to double the protection.

This case has a unique slot designed for your credit cards. The locking credit card slot can store your ID or credit cards while on the go. Easy to put the card in and take it out and the credit card slot door also acts as a fold-out kickstand, which holds your phone at adjustable angle for stable hands-free viewing. Watching videos on cell phone has never been this enjoyable!

This case is anti-fingerprints (because if you are anal like me you are always wiping your case), shock absorption, dust resistance and scratch resistance.  The clip is easy to take off and put on and it is designed with the user in mind to always make sure the controls are easily accessible.

This high quality lightweight iPhone case has cutouts to expose the speaker, charging port and camera, and prevents dust and scratches on the lens. Raised TPU bumper lifts your phone off flat surface, protecting screen against scratches and the raised camera cutout keeps the lens less likely to get scratched.

 

 

Increase Your Home’s Safety

Owning a home brings along a ton of worries into one’s life, but perhaps the largest of them all revolves around security problems. It is important that you note that regardless of how many safety precautions you’ve taken and no matter how adamant you were about protecting your property, burglaries still might occur. This, however, shouldn’t discourage you; on the contrary, if even the safest of properties are susceptible to break-ins, think about how much you have to do in order to keep things as secure as possible.

image-5The ‘Empty House’ Appearance is a Bad Idea

Let’s start off with an obvious mistake many homeowners make. Making a house appear empty might save you some money on your electricity bill and does seem like an environmentally conscious thing to do, but this also attracts the burglars. The thing is, when robbers are targeting a house, they tend to observe it for some time – they will probably get to know your work schedule and all of your habits. Another way to make sure that the burglars are unsure of whether or not there’s someone at home is getting quality window shades. Keep in mind that you should occasionally use these shades when you’re at home, too.

Signs

Of course, having a certified sign from a security agency on your premises is usually enough for the burglars to give up from targeting your house. However, the robbers don’t need to know that you don’t own an alarm, either. Who’s to say that there really isn’t an advanced security technology installed on your premises? Additionally, owning a guard dog is an excellent idea, but even if you aren’t really into pets, you can rest assured that the burglars like them even less; food for thought.

Locks and Safes

Homes without proper anti-burglary systems and measures are thrice more likely to be broken into and this is a fact! We get it, no one is really keen on bothering with complicated locks, but it’s these complicated locks that are an average burglar’s worst nightmare. This is especially true if you own a huge house without any security personnel roaming your premises. Even locksmith experts are sometimes having a hard time getting into a properly secured house, let alone amateurs that take up a large part of the thief/robber/burglar community. Additionally, apply this advice to securing your personal things within quality safes.

Installing a burglar alarm is the first step towards achieving safety – triggered alarms are usually more than enough to scare the intruders away. A burglar alarm is a smart investment into making sure that you don’t experience monetary and sentimental loss. Proper alarm monitoring can go a long way in making sure that your stuff is safe.

Lights and Cameras

What do the burglars hate the most? Large amounts of light! In fact, even if a burglar is confident that there is no one around for miles in any direction, a lot of light will make any robber reluctant about their carefully devised master plan. There is more to LED lights than simply being environmentally friendlier and cheaper (in the long run, though) than the regular bulbs. These tend to shine really bright – in fact, it’s as close to the natural light as lighting fixtures go. Installing security lights is an extremely smart way to go!

Alarms, quality locks, safes, security lights all serve towards the goal of keeping your home burglar-proof. Hiring a security team is always recommendable, especially if you own a manor, but the mentioned basics (and they truly are basics) will probably do the trick. Keep your loved ones and your valuables safe!

 

The Best Paint Colours For Your Living Room

Keeping in mind the fact that a living room is the place where a family spends most of the time with each other or with friends, it’s essential that the space is nicely decorated. The colours of the walls have a great influence on people’s mood, so choosing the perfect paint for the walls can be challenging. If you take into consideration the fact that a living room can look smaller or bigger depending whether it’s painted in a lighter or darker shade, the challenge becomes even greater.

It’s been said that red is the most intense colour that raises the energy level of a room. This hue is the one that increases the adrenaline, blood pressure and stirs up excitement. It’s highly recommended shade for living rooms, since that is the place of frequent interaction among people. A room with red walls brings people together and promotes communication, so be sure to consider any shade of red when choosing the paint for your living room. A bold colour such as red, requires a bit calmer shade of accent elements. Therefore, match white shelving and white moulding with the energetic red. What’s more, if your entryway is connected with the living room with only an archway, paint the walls of an entryway in deep yellow, to achieve the terrific contrast and unique living room feel.

Periwinkle blue is a fantastic colour for living rooms, since it encourages relaxation. Cerulean and turquoise shades are as good as periwinkle, so feel free to experiment by matching all of these shades together to create a one-of-a-kind design. To make the room look bright, yet sophisticated, incorporate white tones into the living room decoration. Periwinkle walls in combination with white windows and furniture would look very classy. Add blue cushions, lamps, and a rug to create the room you’ll always feel comfortable at. If you want to add a real pop of colour to your living room, feel free to match cerulean walls with red furniture. If the room has plenty of natural light, the combination of these two colours would liven up the space perfectly. With a couple of white accents, like vases, lamps or rugs, the room will look fabulous.

Grey is one of the best shades to choose if you want to achieve the monochromatic scheme in the living room. Going from deep grey to the lightest shade will create a truly unique feel in the room, and look polished as well. A combination of light grey walls, deep grey furniture, and patterned accents is all you need for the room everyone will feel comfortable at. If you’re not an expert in painting walls, there are a number of highly qualified professional painters in Sydney who can help you achieve the ultimate goal. To brighten up the space a bit, feel free to add green accents, like flowers, figurines or vases.

Crème de la Crème

One of the favourite colours of most interior designers is cream and all its shades. Starting from ivory, beige, and all the way to eggshell and seashell, cream hues will make every home look elegant and polished. What’s more, it can be perfectly combined with any colour, which is another reason we all love this shade. If your living room is small, cream shade will visually enlarge the space a bit. Combine seashell walls with ivory furniture to get a clean classy look. If you have a large living room, with big windows that allow the daylight to fill the room, painting the walls dark brown, and adding white mouldings would look amazing. In combination with ivory curtains and furniture, alongside an ivory carpet, the room would look incredibly luxurious and modern.

The living room is the space where a family spends most of their time, which is why it deserves a proper decoration. Therefore, it’s essential that you think through well before you opt for the colour to paint the room. Think if you’d like to have a room in which you could feel relaxed and comfortable, or you’d rather opt for the hues that’ll promote communication and pump up your adrenaline. Finally, keep in mind that certain colours will make the room look smaller while others can visually enlarge the space. Colours have a great influence on people, so choose your shades wisely.

Injecting Some Much-Deserved Privacy into Your Yard

The modern world doesn’t really excel in the amount of privacy it offers. In fact, getting some time to ourselves is becoming increasingly difficult even within our very own homes. This having been said, our yards are even more plagued by curious glimpses – our very own oases are no longer places of seclusion and peace. Well, unless there’s a way to instill privacy into your yard! Of course, building a wall around it is always a choice, but this won’t really play well with your neighbors as they might get offended, so you’re going to need to be subtle. Here are some easy ways to make your yard more private without being too obvious about it.

Artistic Decorative Panels

Privacy screens are cool, but there’s no reason for these to be tedious – the more interesting you make them, the less obvious you are going to be about your privacy.

Arched Trellis

If there’s a building next to your garden, or if you’re lucky enough to own the rooftop of your building and a garden in addition, you will definitely experience privacy problems. Installing arched trellis is a very smart way to go here, which will provide you with some much-desired privacy, while still enabling you to get some sunlight in a city.

Curtains

If you want some optional privacy, going with curtains is a smart decision. They are adjustable and able to turn your open-space backyard into a secluded, private place.

On another hand, if a large object providing privacy is your thing, choose an outdoor fireplace and add arborvitae trees to this cozy-looking choice to completely privatize your backyard.

Ordinary Materials are Boring

If you don’t really care about what your neighbors think of you, you can make a simple wall. Of course, there is no reason to use ordinary materials here – instead of brick and simple fences, opt for bamboo for that popular Asian feel that these plants provide.

Patios

Okay, patios don’t really provide privacy by themselves, but they really are perfect excuses for installing mosquito nets, which very much do so. Subtle and useful, these nets will protect you from the nasty insects as a bonus!

Regular and neutral garden items are also adequate choices. Browse for a shade sail online for that easy-going feel that these provide in a backyard. Experiment as much as you want with typical items in order to make your yard unique!

Plants are Great!

What better way to give your yard some seclusion than using plants? After all, the very point of it is lounging in nature. For example, a hedge barrier is a fantastic idea if you are going for that minimalistic look. However, if you want to be a bit more flamboyant about it, you can opt for a trellis or arbor, as well as climbing vines and grapevines – nothing better than a healthy, natural shade from something that will make your yard more private!

As mentioned, natural decorative walls are an excellent way to go in your yard, but if you are looking for something more than a simple hedge barrier, using the popular green walls is a great idea! When in doubt, always go natural!

With this many ideas on the table, you’re bound to find something that suits your needs. If you like more than one, feel free to combine any of these into something truly unique. As long as you have enough space, anything goes and with a bit of creativity and dedication, this project may turn into a fantastic experience!
