Review: The Private Gym – by Guest Writer Michael Binders

pic - CopyAs a society male health is not a topic that is talked about much – well, except the occasional commercial for erectile difficulties. This is probably because men don’t want to talk or hear about it because most of us think we are invincible and only seek help when damage has already occurred. We also find that when urged by our partners in crime in life will reluctantly seek help. This should not be a topic not discussed.

I am fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to test the male Private Gym series now for over 2 months. What is the Private Gym you are asking?…..the Private Gym is a simple set of exercises that you do ten minutes a day, three times a week to help with erectile dysfunction and improve the strength of the muscles in male genitals. It is a simple technique with very quick and impressive results.

As men get older the pelvic muscles that control urine flow, erections and bowel get weaker. This can cause leaking of urine and uncontrollable bathroom issues as well as weak erections. If you make the pelvic muscles stronger you will improve erections, bowel and urinary control.

When I received the package in the mail it was discretely packaged not allowing contents to be known. I opened the box to find a very nicely packaged product that contained a booklet, step-by-step how to instructions on dvd as well as an instruction manual and the very important magnetic. Very impressive was my first thought.

I placed the dvd in my laptop (you can watch this on any device for added privacy) and was given an option of having a man or woman’s voice to talk me through the process. I watched the video for both the 4 week program and eight week program and found that the whole process would be rather simple and uncomplicated. The first four weeks are basic kegal and muscle improvement exercises. The second part brought in the usage of the weighted coupling.

I proceeded to complete the exercises in the four week program. It felt a little awkward but I followed through anyways. Doesn’t anything that is done for the first time seem awkward? I continued these exercises for the four weeks.

I then started on the second part of the exercises. The added weight did in fact force me to really work pelvic muscles and I could feel them working within the pelvic cavity. The exercises created no strenuous or difficult movements or anything that brings concern.

After using the Private Gym system for eight weeks I feel like everything is strengthened. The testimonials from test subjects on the Private Gyms website gave truth. The Private Gyms claims are also truth.

So if you are a man who is experiencing problems of incontinence, having to go to the bathroom often or have problems maintaining a full erection consider the Private Gym system – it is a small price to pay for something so important. If you have a male loved one with this problem – especially if they are embarrassed to seek professional help – encourage them to purchase the Private Gym system – you will be glad you did.

Other than the right wall colour, wall paper and floor rugs, there are simple techniques you can infuse into your bedroom to add personal ambiance. These simple ideas are sure to send you into a blissful slumber ensuring your personality stroke is present in your bedroom.

  1. Ruffle The Things Around

Don’t think twice to shake up the contents of your bedroom to add new life to it. A ruffled look to a very familiar place is an instant way to decorate your room. Go ahead and reorganize the stuff in your room to beautify your space in a jiffy.

  1. Keep It Dim & Soothing

Dim lightings not only add a touch of warmth to your personal space, but also minimize visual stress on one’s sight.

Changing the outlook of the substantial objects can change the look of your room completely. Your bed is one of the substantial objects of your room other than the dresser, cupboard and other large furniture. A change in the patterns of your bed spread, comforter and pillow can go from graphic to girly, primary to pastel and modern to classic; changing your room’s outlook entirely. You can even make smart use of a combination of geometric, floral and polka designs on your pillows and cushions.

  1. Add Gleaming Glamour

An instant way to add glamour to your bedroom is to involve stuff that can reflect light. Shiny surfaces like mirrors, satiny bedding, silver fixtures and frames reflect light. Think gleaming interior additions as jewelry for your room. A ring cocktail table set in gold, silver or bronze could be an ideal addition to bring a lavish look for your bedroom. Silk rugs and cashmere throw blankets could be a shimmering addition to make your bedroom befit celebrities.

  1. Add Arresting Prints

Large prints augment the size of small spaces. Do not limit bold prints to your bedding alone; convert a side of your bedroom wall into a giant-sized canvas; printed lamp shades and print patterned wall-hangings best complement bold interior décor. Large prints add a solemn dose of striking personality that can be subdued with the use of subtle hues in smaller accessories; to be able to create a soft atmosphere.

  1. Accessorize With Art

Art masterpieces have adorned walls of palaces and farm houses alike. Art is a great way to add focal point to your room while infusing a perfect balance of colour to your bedroom. As per Feng Shui, art helps to balance the energy flow within your room. Adorn those walls with art or get personal with family pictures to create a complete look for your bedroom. To start experimenting with colours, start by adding minimalistic colours; wall art would be your best pick for trials before settling for bold colours in your bedroom.

  1. Saturate With One Colour Theme

While combinations of various colours add a lively atmosphere to a bedroom, a single colour of your choice equally offers immense visual delight. If you are not able to settle for one favourite colour of your choice, sky is the limit when you are looking for an ideal colour to suit a bedroom. Different hues of the same colour can be used to create a cohesive feel in your room.

Top 5 DIY Home Security Products by Naomi Wheeler

There are many valuables that we would like to keep protected within our homes including important documents, jewelry, and money. Although burglary and theft can’t always be prevented in your home, there are many ways that you can make it more difficult for them to find your things. Here is a list of the top five DIY home security projects to help prevent theft of your valuables.

 

Hollowed Book

One of the most common, but most successful and popular ways to protect your valuables, is to hollow out a book. It may take you a couple of days depending on how determined you are to finish it, but it’s a pretty simple process. First, you’ll need a hardback book, some glue, a box cutter, and a brush you don’t mind getting glue in. Mix the glue with a little water (making it about 60% glue), hold the pages together and begin gluing the outside of the book. Once it’s dried, you can begin cutting out your pages from the middle leaving about ½ in. around the edges to make it look like the pages are still in the book. Once you reach the back of the book, you can take glue to the inside of the book to make sure that everything stays together. Now, you have a hollowed out book to hide some of your valuables in!

 

Safe Pillow

Although this way is a little bit trickier, it is a great way to make sure that your valuables stay safe. You’ll need a throw pillow that you’re willing to cut up, some scissors, thread the same color as the pillow, and some scissors. Cut a horizontal line on the back of the throw pillow that matches the length of the zipper. Take out the stuffing and start stitching the zipper into the pillow. Then, you can put the box or valuables you have set aside into the pillow with the stuffing, making sure the valuables are surrounded by the stuffing so you can’t feel them, and zipping up the pillow. Now you have a secret hiding place, in plain sight, that can help you keep your valuables safe and away from prying eyes.

Painted Jar

A great and simple project that you can finish in a day is to paint a food jar, particularly mayonnaise jars, to make them look like they still have food in them when in fact, it is holding your valuables. Find a paint that looks like mayo and gradually paint the inside of the jar with the color, making sure that it doesn’t get on the outside. A good way to prevent this is to use a plastic bag on the outside to prevent drips. Then, once your paint is completely dry on the inside (could take a couple of days depending on the paint and how thick it is), you can hide your valuables that won’t be harmed by cold temperatures and put it in the fridge!

 

Potted Plant

Although it may seem simple, using a potted plant to hide your valuables or money is a great way to thwart people who would steal from you. All you need is a plant that you want to hide your items in, and an old medicine bottle or small watertight container. Then, put your valuables or money into the bottle or container and dig a hole big enough for the container in your potted plant. You can then try to remember where your valuables are hidden, or you can put down a small rock or plant decoration to remind you where you hid your valuables.

 

False Bottom Drawers

Hiding things is drawers is not always the best way to protect important documents and valuables, but hiding things ‘underneath’ your drawers is a great way to prevent valuables from getting stolen. All you need is fabric or wood that looks like the bottom of your drawers cut to the size that you need. Then, you can put your valuables in the drawer, put the false bottom over them, and fill up the drawer with things that you normally would such as clothes, office supplies, or less important paperwork. False bottom drawers are a great way to hid paperwork and other important documents that people might want to steal. This way, even if someone rifles through the drawer, they won’t be able to find anything of value.

Bring a little of the outdoors inside your home with air plants. Air plants, also known as tillandsias, absorb nutrients through their leaves, so there is no soil involved. Their striking sculptural forms and easy care make these plants a great addition to any home.plants3 plants2

In nature, the majority of air plants survive by using their roots to attach to other objects (mostly plants, rocks, or buildings). This means they can be put in a variety of containers, making them ideal for any style of decor. They can be grown both indoors or out and do an excellent job cleaning the air. Air plants need bright, but indirect light and good air circulation to thrive. Mist these plants with water every few days or soak every 7-10 days.plants6plants4

With over 500 species to choose from, and shapes ranging from the organic to the geometric, choosing your favorites is bound to be hard. Here are some ideas for incorporating air plants into your home.plants7plants5

Create a living wall. Hang air plants directly on the wall or get creative with a hanging structure to create a fantastic and gorgeous focal point in any room.

Does Your Garden Need A Lawn?

Knowing full well the kind of care and time it takes to create and maintain a lawn of enough quality that it looks good enough to be worth having, you may be wondering as to whether it is the right thing to have in your home. Whilst larger houses will almost always benefit from a big back or front lawn, there is no loss of pride in deciding that the old style of having a well manicured lawn may not suit your home, and it can often be a massive waste of time to try and procure one, if it is only going to turn out as some patchy scraggle of land. It is much better to try and ensure that you are getting the best out of your outdoor areas in terms of size, shape and the style of building. It is also a good idea to ensure that you have a garden that you find easy and time efficient to keep in check. You don’t want the expert garden maintenance to become such a trial that you end up having to call in the gardening experts every week, so ensure that your garden clear up leaves you with an area that you can enjoy and maintain with ease.

For a start, gardens of a strange or unaccommodating shape can be difficult to make work. This is particularly the case with a lawn. A narrow strip of lawn set amongst the high walls of a terraced home’s back yard will often look a bit flat and oppressive. If you have a garden that slopes drastically, then the use of the lawn will often be difficult, in that you can really play games on it, and putting tables and chairs out will lead to uncomfortable seating! Instead, why not build tiers with old railway sleepers, and plant them with interesting plants or vegetables? This will yield a lot more interesting looking surroundings than fastidious lawn care! You should find that there are a number of ways in which you can break up the levels as well as the angles in your garden, to ensure that you are less at risk of missing the idea of a lawn.

In terms of the shape of the outdoor area, you will need to understand the ways in which the eye moves. You may want to have a conversation with a landscape gardener, as they will have an excellent understanding of this, and a brief introduction into landscape gardening can be all that you need to get things going in terms of planning your dream space. They will likely tell you that curves in the plot as well as obstructions for the eye to move around, will break up the space in a less linear way, leading to more interesting spaces, that feel bigger, or at least more interesting. If you have a long and narrow garden, you can break it up with raised decking at the back, or even an overhanging tree in a corner. If your garden turns a corner, making it difficult to enjoy the space properly, why not turn that extra part in to a vegetable patch, and grow yourself some fresh produce? The use of hard decking or paving in conjunction with large terra cotta pots and large plants will give the place a sophisticated yet still verdant feeling. This is prefect if the soil beneath is not of optimum planting condition, or you simply want a more sturdy place to relax! You should find that landscaping with garden design services yields a great number of ideas!
