Coop Home Goods Memory Foam Pillow Review Gold Standard

The Coop Home Goods Original Memory Foam Pillow was the first product released by the brand back in 2013. The founders were committed to creating the perfect pillow that could adjust to every sleeper’s needs and would also be safe for allergy sufferers. (They’ve since gone on to introduce different versions of their memory foam pillow, as well as pillowcases and mattress protectors that adhere to that same philosophy.) To see if their version of the ever-popular memory foam pillow lived up to the hype, we slept on the pillow for several nights to see if it was really as breathable and comfortable as it claims....

Dead Bird Removal Safe And Responsible

When You Find a Dead Bird A dead bird might be found near a feeder, window, roosting area, or just in the middle of the yard, and the location may be a clue to the cause of death. A bird near a large window may have died from a window collision, for example. In other cases, the condition of the bird’s body can indicate how it died, such as visible wounds from a predator or pox lesions that show advanced disease....

Decorating With A Monochromatic Color Scheme

Two common misconceptions about decorating in a monochromatic palette are that it means only beige, or that it means using only one hue throughout a room without variation. Actually, any color can be used—pink, orange, blue, you name it—and while monochrome does mean one color, that doesn’t mean only one variation of that color. For example, a room might be decorated with navy, robin’s egg blue, palest sky blue, periwinkle, and cadet blue, yet it’s still monochromatic because all are variations of blue....

Do Ducks Have Teeth Yes And No

Duck Bills Ducks don’t have teeth the same way other animals—tigers, wolves, sharks, cows, pigs, or even humans—have teeth to break up and chew food extensively. Ducks do, however, have several different adaptations and specialized bill structures that help them manipulate their food and eat more easily: Spatulate Shape: Ducks have an elongated, flattened bill shape. This spatulate shape helps the birds crush food similar to teeth, but without the same strength for pulverizing tough foods, and ducks don’t repeatedly chew as they eat....

Eliminate Fire Danger By Simple Dryer Vent Maintenance

Of these 15,000 fires, electric dryers were shown to be more than 2.5 times more likely than gas dryers to cause fires. This is likely because the higher heat discharge from electric dryers exacerbates the problems of lint buildup. Fires originate most frequently from two places: dryer venting and the lint trap. Why these two places? Because clothes dryers are often improperly vented, and because those vents may not be properly cleaned on a regular basis....

Emily Henderson S Top Design Tips For Renters

You may have already read Henderson’s first book, Styled (which, you guessed it, is filled with tons of fantastic styling secrets!), but her latest book, The New Design Rules: How to Decorate and Renovate, from Start to Finish, is all about home renovation and makeover projects both large and small. “The book was born out of my own frustration with the renovation and remodeling process,” Henderson tells The Spruce. “I was doing two renovations … and just wished there was some sort of guidebook or some singular source that I could reference for the process, so that when I was in the thick of it and frustrated I could have something to refer to that would help me make design decisions that I wouldn’t regret....

Fisher Price Harley Davidson Tough Trike Review An Epic Ride

My children have all been huge fans of anything on wheels, so when the opportunity to try out Fisher-Price’s Harley-Davidson Motorcycles Tough Trike popped up, my nostalgia for the good old days of stalking sweet bikes with my kids revved up as well. My sons are a bit too old for this ride (they’re between 7 and 14, but that didn’t stop the youngest from giving it a go) but my friend’s 2- and 3-year-old nephews, also Harley fans, were more than happy to stand in for a few test drives....

Four Daily Cleaning Chores

Clean the Dishes Maybe you’ve never seen what happens to a sink full of dishes left to sit, but it isn’t pretty. Smells, stains, and odd fungal growth usually go with forgotten dirty dishes. Cleaning dishes daily is the best choice all around. If you can’t manage to actually wash the dishes, at least make a rule that dishes will be scraped, rinsed, and stacked on a daily basis. This will prevent mold and insects from invading your home....

Growing The Japanese Plum Yew In The Home Garden

Another reason for the popularity of the Japanese plum yew is the edible fruit that it produces. It is particularly popular in Japan where it is often cultivated for its fruit alone. This is not the same as the Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata), which has seeds and leaves that are poisonous. A lesser-known use for this plant is for the production of a drug used to treat myeloid leukemia....

Help With Identifying The Worst Weeds And The Best

What is wrong with such a disdain for identifying the enemy as a preliminary step to doing battle? Plenty, as you probably already realize if you’re consulting the following lists of the worst and best (that is, beneficial) weeds. The most basic objection is that it helps to know something about what it is that you are fighting. Proper weed identification can be the gateway to knowledge that has been compiled over the years regarding a particular plant....
