So, here are my notes on getting each C ![]() ![]() My brothers and I like to listen to rain sounds before going to bed. Drink some sleepy time tea, chamomile tea, take a bath before going to bed to help your body feel more relaxed, listen to an audio book or relaxing music/nature sounds. So it is important to unwind before going to bed. I will say that my sleep routine is a mess. I am not a huge fan of eggs but I enjoy a good omlet every now and then, it keeps me fueled throughout the morning. One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast is avocado toast. Sometimes grabbing the junk food and sugary items seems like the better option, but do some research and figure out foods you enjoy that are healthier. As an aspiring motivational speaker, I know that it is important to fuel my body with nutritious options. ![]() I tend to go for the sugary things that only cause me to feel tired and have low energy. One of the biggest things that I struggle with is finding food that is healthy and packed with nutrition. Not only are you moving your body, you and your friend/friends can motivate each other to keep going. Try calling or texting some friends to see if they would be interested in joining the gym with you. Yes, I love yoga but sometimes you need to just get your body moving. For instance, since I made a goal to really focus 100% on my self this year, I have started going to the gym. Try adding something new to your routine. So, it’s time to switch up your routines. However, I realized that some of the routines that we create for ourselves can get a bit boring or even too repetitive. I have talked about the benefits of setting routines here as well as over on my podcast which you can follow here. The truth is that no matter how many goals you set for yourself, there will be times when you completel forget to put those ideas into practice. However, I haven’t really started doing those. ![]() This year I made it a goal to meditate everyday, eat healthy and stick to my routines. The new year isn’t all about resolutions, it can also be a time to switch up your routines. I hope that you all enjoyed your holidays with your family. I know it’s a few weeks late but happy new year. ![]() ![]() ![]() After bestselling memoir Finding Chika and “Human Touch,” the weekly serial written and published online in real-time to raise funds for pandemic relief, his latest work is a return to fiction with The Stranger in the Lifeboat (Harper, November 2021).

Are the survivors in heaven, or are they in hell? The story is narrated by Benji, one of the passengers, who recounts the events in a notebook that is discovered-a year later-when the empty life raft washes up on the island of Montserrat.

You’ll know you’re about to send an iMessage if the round “send” arrow button is blue, and you’ll notice that your messages will have a “blue bubble” as well. It’s important to understand that you can send both iMessage (secure) and SMS (insecure) via the Messages app. While the platform is called iMessage, the Apple app is called Messages.

However, updating the headset was not exactly a seamless task. ![]() Eventually, I performed a firmware update, which appeared to resolve the issue. It’s as if I was muted, even though the mute function wasn’t active. ![]() I would be able to hear the caller, but they would not be able to hear me. The mic randomly dropped off on a few occasions. The B550-XT is an ideal headset for those who work in a noisy environment, but it has a few quirks. Like its predecessor, the headset boasts 96% noise cancelation. The B550-XT has a bi-directional electret microphone with frequency range of 150 to 6800 Hz. The music quality is not even close to what you’d hear on a pair of headphones like the Bose 700 or Sony WH-XB900N headphones. The speaker sounds good on calls, but it sounds mediocre when playing music-mid tones sound slightly tinny, and the low end lacks fullness. You can hear the person on the other end of a call clearly, without too much static or distortion. The B550-XT has a single 36 mm speaker with a 150 to 6800 Hz frequency range. Sound Quality: 96 percent noise cancelation The B550-XT feels rugged and tough, but it simply isn’t as comfortable as it could be. This keeps your opposite hand free for typing or other tasks. It’s relatively easy to control the headset’s features and functions with one hand. The headset has minimal button controls on the outside of the ear cuff- a power/pairing button, volume controls, and a customizable BlueParrot button. The microphone rotates about 270 degrees, so you can wear the speaker on either your left or right ear, and the microphone, which protrudes from the speaker, has an adjustable boom for optimal positioning. However, it does have a few design perks. The all-black B550-XT isn’t particularly stylish, as the main ear pad is large and bulky, and the headset feels bottom-heavy and overly asymmetrical. On the opposite side sits a curved silicon rubber piece that rests against the head and helps the headset remain securely in place. The speaker has a thick over-the-ear pad that’s composed of a leatherette material. The B550-XT is a headband style monaural (single-ear) headset. I tested the BlueParrot B550-XT for two weeks, evaluating its design, comfort, audio quality, and features to see if the Bluetooth headset is worth its $200 price tag. The B550-XT should be the ideal headset for an office worker or truck driver, as the fifth generation headset boasts voice control and other advanced features in addition to its high level of noise cancelation. The best Bluetooth headsets provide sufficient noise cancelation, and the BlueParrot B550-XT cancels out 96% of background noises. Keep reading for our full product review. We purchased the BlueParrot B550-XT so our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and assess it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Look 10: These chairs, like all things Article, are so chic. I won’t because, pregnant haha, but I could. I could jump on at 9 months pregnant and have no fear of the structures integrity being compromised. Even being a super streamline sofa with thin legs and a low profile, it isn’t wobbly or weak. Quality 10: This bad boy is strong, built to last, solid! My husband and I have been blown away by the quality of this piece. The pilling hasn’t been anything that would make me second guess the sofa purchase, but is note worthy. It’s easy to pull off and manage, but that pilling is the reason for my 9 score. That friction has created a tiny bit of pilling. Where the seat cushions meet and rub up on each other. Which is saying a lot with 2 dogs and 5 year old who has spilled his fair share of crap on it… just saying! But I just started noticing a little pilling in the cracks. We have had it for 6 months and the fabric has held up beautifully thus far. I gave it a 9 because I’m not sure how long it will last. ![]() This IS the couch I would buy if I wanted a comfortable sofa that also looks super sleek and modern.įabric 9: The fabric on the Burrard is gorgeous. This isn’t the couch I would buy if I needed a melt into me squish monster of a sofa. However the low back rest and structured arms steal some of the comfort in order to insure structure and style making it an overall 7 for me. After about 2 weeks it had broken in and now six months later its totally comfy. My husband was genuinely worried it would not work for us. I’m also a firm believer that it is okay to spend a little more on a sofa, I mean how often is your rump planted on it… lets be real!Ĭomfort 7: I gave it an 7 because when it arrived it was stiff. You get a sleek, modern, well built beauty for less coin than many of the competitor sofas. You absolutely get your moneys worth on this buy. I have seen sofas of this caliber go for 2k and beyond. In my opinion the price for this sofa is a 10. I am basing my opinion on price by comparing it to the cost of comparable pieces sold by competitors as well as what seems like a reasonable amount to spend on a piece of furniture of its kind. What is “totally reasonable” to me, may be totally outrageous to you. Price 10: I realize this category is relative. An easy 10 out of 10 for style so much yes. The pale grey color is the perfect neutral and compliments every pillow palette I’ve paired it with. Yet somehow provides tons of seating and enough room for someone to lay out on it and take a nap. It has this crazy ability to be this low profile sofa that my husband calls a “barely there” sofa (meaning it is not imposing or overbearing). That said it is exactly as it looks in images online and the measurements are exactly as stated online. The low profile of this sofa was jarring for me because it was vastly different than that we had prior. Not because it is tiny, but because we replaced a very large sectional that had a tall back. I will say when it arrived it looked tiny to me. Look 10: This sofa is sexy, a 10 all day everyday. I will be rating the following articles: Burrard, Nord, Soma, Matrix, Embrace. I will rate each piece using the above scale and then tell you my reasoning. Quality: 1: rickety junk – 10: built to last Price: 1: huge splurge – 10: totally reasonableįabric: 1: last a week – 10: last a lifetime ![]() Look: 1: not what I expected – 10: sexier in person My personal Article review rating scale 1-10: ![]() If you’ve been contemplating an Article purchase and just need a little more info before committing and/or not committing, this ones for you! That’s why I have decided to write for you, my Article furniture review the good the bad and in between. My obvious love affair with Article has led to constant questions about the quality.
