There is no denying that cats are one of the most loveable animals on the planet. They are so adorable that some people prefer adopting 3-4 cats at once. There are many reasons that make cats the best pets.

For example, they are not demanding, and don’t seek your attention every time. Another thing that makes them loveable is that they don’t bark at every other person who walks by your house.

We cannot compare cats with dogs or any other pet for that matter because every animal has its own unique qualities.

We cannot expect anyone to change their love for their favourite pets just because we cannot fathom why anyone would like a monkey over a fluffy cat!

But, there are some things that differentiate cats from other animals.

Here, we have mentioned some things that will prove why cats are the best pets!

Here, we have summed up a list of the 90s’ trends that one cannot afford to miss in this modern world. So, feel a little nostalgic and relive these amazing interior design trends that set the stage for modern world.

My husband refers to me as the “Queen of Dinner Parties”! And I suppose he isn’t wrong, I absolutely love hosting events for our friends and family at our home! It gives me a sense of pride to hold events the people cherish for years after. Most people are surprised to hear my favorite part about each one... The cleaning! Nope! I’m not lying to you! I think the cleanliness and scent of your home set the mood for your guests. I’m always getting told “how AMAZING it smells in my home”, and asked for my cleaning secrets!

Well, you’re in luck today! Here are my 5 FAVORITE ways to make your house smell AMAZING!
Silk and silk-like draperies are great options for when you want window treatments that are both soft and smooth to the touch, as well as luxuriously radiant when struck by light. If you’re in the market for new curtains or drapes that fall under the “silk” category, you basically have two options: real silk and faux silk.

If you aren’t sure which type of product to choose for your home, no worries. We’ve prepared this short guide about the pros and cons of each type of silk drapery material.

Real Silk Curtains
As the name suggests, real silk curtains are made of natural silk, which is a protein fiber produced from the spun cocoons of the silkmoth Bombyx mori. The long individual fibers of each silk cocoon are collected and reeled in before they are twisted into yarn strands to make them strong enough for weaving or knitting.

Real silk is known for its plush and luxurious feel while also affording that signature, sumptuous shine that has made it so popular throughout the centuries. However, due to the high costs involved in silkworm farming and in manufacturing the actual silk fabrics, natural silk curtains also often comes with a substantial price tag—something that will probably deter a lot of homeowners who are looking for the right window treatments.
Curtains that are made of natural yarns like real silk are also particularly at risk of fading and photodegradation. Constant exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can break down the fabric’s dyes while also causing the fabric itself to become more brittle over time. To make your silk curtains last longer, consider having your windows tinted with an anti-UV film that can block as much as 99 percent of the sun’s UV rays. You can also pull your silk curtains fully back from the window during the day to avoid directly exposing them to sunlight.

It’s safe to say that, the stresses of everyday life can get on top of you. When you’re trying to hold down a job, keep your home looking great, look after the kids, have a social life, and still find time to relax, you may find that you often get so much more stressed out than you ever thought you could. Or more than you really have to. A lot of the time, you can handle a few of the things you need to do, but all of them at once can be tough. Add the idea of money troubles on top of that and things can definitely feel so much more difficult.

However, there may actually be a way that you can tackle a few of those at once, to make the rest feel like a breeze. And if you hadn’t guessed it by the post title, of course, it’s your house and the money situation. Because even when running a home drives you crazy, and never having enough money to make ends meet can be hard, you can make both works together for the better. And yes, your house and money will finally become a positive, not a problem - because there are ways that you can make money from your home.


Let’s face it; when was the last time you told yourself a little lie just to convince the logical part of your brain that you needed to spend more money? Buying groceries? Surely you don’t need that expensive-looking dessert but… since it’s on sale, why not–right? What about those fancy shoes you bought the other day? Well, they’re for an upcoming party that you’re going to, and you don’t want to show up in the same pair you wore to the last party, do you?

Sure, these little lies can end up costing us a lot of money, but they do make us feel great, don’t they? Spending money might be a bad habit for some but for others, it’s a good way to feel better about ourselves and seeing the fruits of our work can be a brilliant motivational boost.
