Themes For a Bridal Shower
The traditional bridal shower was intended to help the new bride stock her new home with essential items. The result was often an overwhelming assortment of pots and pans and bath towels! With a little planning, the host can alleviate this problem and throw a fabulous party.
It all starts with having a specific theme for the shower and building refreshments, decorations, activities and even types of gifts around the theme.
Construction/Remodeling Shower
If the new couple is building or remodeling their new home, consider hosting a shower that will provide some of the much needed tools and materials to complete the project. This is a great theme for co-ed showers and has a "construction site" feel to the decor. It can be held indoors, outdoors or even in the garage. Set up tables using sawhorses and plywood. Complement the rustic tables with centerpieces of flowers in paint cans accented with basic tools such as hammers and screwdrivers. These tools can then be used as favors for the guests when they depart. Appropriate gifts for the new couple are power tools, hand tools, and gift cards to local hardware stores.
Garden Party Shower
This shower is also good for co-ed showers and focuses on lawn and garden items for the couple. Decorate using beautiful flowers in fabric wrapped pots that can later be planted at the couple's home. Coordinate plates, napkins and other tableware to the outdoor theme. Wildflower seed packets are a thoughtful guest favor and can be used to enhance the table setting. Gifts for the couple include lawn trimmers, garden tools and other landscaping supplies.
Bed and Bath Shower
Bedroom and Bathroom supplies for the couple are the intent of this shower. A gift registry is helpful for this type of shower as the personal preference and style of the couple are especially important in these rooms. Towels, linens, and décor items are appropriate gifts. Shaped soaps or bath confetti are good items to consider for guest favors.
Kitchen Shower
Many new couples are anxious to receive useful kitchen items. Small appliances, bakeware, pots, pans and dishes are some of the endless kitchen supplies they will be happy to receive. This shower easily combines with items for the dining room to include stocking the couple's china cabinet. The hostess may also request that the guest bring a favorite recipe to compile a cookbook for the couple. A fun activity would be for guests to share their own cooking disaster story!
Tea Party
Afternoon tea parties are excellent choices for bridal showers. It is the perfect opportunity to decorate with beautiful flowers, candles and tableware. Refreshments such as scones, tea, sandwiches, and dainty petit fours can be displayed on lovely platters. Teacups and personalized teabags are wonderful guest favors and place card holders also enhance the place settings. The hostess may focus on a category of gifts or may simply communicate to guests that a gift registry is available.
Lingerie Shower
A lingerie shower is a great way for a group of close friends to help a new bride celebrate her upcoming marriage. A small private setting works best for this shower as some brides may be embarrassed by displaying intimate apparel in public. Beautiful lingerie is a wonderful gift and votive candles, massage oils, lotions and other pampering items are also appropriate. The hostess may have a licensed massage therapist attend who will give hand and chair massages to the guests. Candles or scented soaps would make wonderful guest favors.

Clawfoot Tub Fixtures
Normally when we think of clawfoot tubs we are carried to the age of Jane Austen. When ladies wore dresses each day and didn't do anything but recite poetry, play music, and sew and men spent all their time hunting and talking about politics. The period when there was no electricity and running water.
We are grateful to have the ability to have plumbing pipes heat and carry us the water we need - but why not do it in elegance like the old days? These bathing tubs are much more graceful and classic in appearance then the common bathing tub that is found in homes. Although they are more pricey they are well worth the cost.
But no clawfoot tub would be complete without the essential fixtures to make sure that it is working properly. Without these the bathing tub cannot work properly and will misplace some of its attraction. These fixtures assist to give it an exquisite look and make it easier to utilize then your common bath.
There are a variety of faucets that you can get get and they are supplied in contrasting sizes and designs. One of the most common is the extended faucet that is long and drapes easily over one side of the bath. This helps to give it a rather exquisite look to and is often in copper.
Another popular faucet that is utilized is the hand shower. This piece is very favorable to use when the bathing tub stands alone. It is attached to a long chord that lets you to reach and wash off your back. It is also quite refined and sets in a particular stoop on the top of the tub.

How the Sprite Shower Filter Cleans Water
Taking a shower is one of life's little luxuries that many of us take for granted. However, the shower environment is not always the clean and hygienic environment it may first appear. There are many chemicals added to your water, to ensure it arrives pure of any harmful bacteria. One chemical added in this process is chlorine. Working on a process similar to a catalytic convertor in the car, a Sprite shower filter converts potentially harmful chlorine, into harmless chloride.
NSF certified, Sprite shower filters use a chemical reaction called, "Reduction-Oxidation", or Redox for short. Now, this is unsurprisingly quite a complex process, but in essence works by creating new elements: Free-chlorine, flows through the filtration media, where the electrons and molecules are transferred, to produce chloride. The resultant chloride element is too large to be absorbed through the skin, so passes harmlessly back into the water supply.
The filtration used in a Sprite shower filter comprises two types of media. The first is called, Chlorgon, which was developed and patented by David Farley - CEO of Sprite Industries, Inc. The second is Kinetic Degradation Fluxion, let's call it KDF!
Chlorgon works by converting many different free and combined chlorine into the harmless chloride, and works through the temperature scale from ice cold, to skin sheddingly hot.
KDF also converts free chlorine to its harmless cousin chloride, through high-purity copper-zinc formulations, whilst also removing iron oxides.
The treated water is pH balanced, to further be gentle on the skin, whilst removing dirt and sediments that may have been collected in the pipes or through the heating elements.
With advanced designs, patented technology and easy installation, a Sprite water filter is well worth the investment. Solidly made, and with the media being fully recyclable, it is no surprise the filters are used in hospitals, hotels and restaurants across the country.

Steam Shower Design
Once upon a time a bathroom had a simple shower stall. But today, creative designers are changing our outlook dramatically. These rooms are given a different look with a varied range of products, like classically designed tiles and accessories, luxurious steaming units and other features that can turn your bathroom into a private spa.
Showers also play a prominent role in a room's appearance. There are two different kinds of showers: water and steam. Based on individual desires and needs, there is a varied range of steam showers that come in different sizes, shapes and colors, and offer all the new technical options too. Pre-made shower stalls are also offering an astonishing variety of choices at affordable prices.
At present, steam showers are in vogue in spas, rejuvenation centers and also in private homes. These showers use the latest innovations in faucets and plumbing, which are attractive to look at and fun to use. They are designed in multiple ways, with various shower-head options, custom-sliding tub and shower enclosures, sliding doors with showers, and steam shower rooms with swing doors.
These units consist of the same components as other custom shower units. They have options for steam, adjustable steam units, waterfall showers, rain dome showerheads, built-in sound and other features. There are also body spray jets, head and hand showers, thermostatic and volume controls, plus a choice of shelves, shower seats, flooring tile options and shower panel colors. The construction of these steam shower units is frameless, and usually made out of tempered glass. There are computerized steam showers that work automatically.
So accessorize your private room with some unique shower designs, give it an elegant and urban look, and enjoy your spa experience to the fullest.

Shower Drain - Three Ways to Unclog a Blocked Drain
There are several do-it-yourself methods for unclogging a shower drain without the necessity of calling a plumber. By using these methods, you can save yourself a costly, inconvenient visit from your local plumber. Do not feel overwhelmed if you have never unclogged a severe blockage in your drain before. As long as the source of the clog is near the mouth of the drain, you can take care of it yourself. Before you even mess with the pipes, take a look at the drain cover. It may be clogged with hair and grime. A soak in a bucket or the kitchen sink with hot soapy water should do the trick.
Once the cover is clean, then test out the shower drain. If it still drains slowly, there is another problem at hand. You could use a liquid plumber to unclog the shower drain. An environmentally safe option is the best if you choose to use a chemical. If you prefer to keep unwanted chemicals out of your home, there are other options as well. One is to use a plunger. Chances are you already have around your house, and you can use it to dislodge a shower drain blockage essentially in the same way as you would with your toilet.
Using a plumber's snake is another option for clearing a clog in the shower drain. This simple piece of plumbing equipment is ideal for unclogging many pipe blockages. Feed the snake down into the drain and dislodge the obstruction by twisting the crank clockwise to grab the debris lodged in the pipe. You can either pull the snake out and dispose of the clump or simply grind through the blockage to break it up. Either way, flush the pipe with hot water to help break off any remaining chunks.
If you choose to use a chemical liquid plumber to unclog the shower drain, always wear protective eye wear and gloves for safety. Read the label carefully to ensure it will not damage your pipes. For the plunger option, make sure you pump it with enough force to create pressure within the pipe to dislodge the blockage. It may take several attempts to properly dislodge whatever is blocking the shower drain. If you choose the plumbers snake as your tool of choice, be sure to have a bucket set up before you begin so you have a place to put the clump when you pull it free from the drain.

Cheapest Shower Enclosures
That the shower enclosure has redefined the decor of the typical bathroom there is no doubt. Till about two decades ago, showers in the bathroom used to be in a separate section demarcated at the most by a two-inch bar or a shower curtain. Nowadays, enclosing the shower in a cubicle of its own not only gives a chic look on the whole, but also makes for multi jets spouting jets of water (and steam if you choose) so that you can have your own mini-spa right in your home. However, shower enclosures do not come cheap. And the ones that really do aren't worth buying. So, where do you find the cheapest shower enclosures in the UK that won't let you down?
The simple answer is right here. However, don't take our word for it. You should first go out and do a thorough market survey. You can almost write off the chances of find a cheap shower in a mall or a retail store as they can't afford to offer discounts and sales as the online stores can. They have many overheads such as rent, pay for the ground staff, power bills, and the like, which are simply not there for an online store.
Hence, you should catalog the price quotes for the cheapest shower enclosures in the UK in all of the online stores that you can find. Then, of course, you have to narrow down your range according to the type of shower enclosure that you are going to go for. You have to decide on whether the finish is going to plastic, fiber, metal or chrome. Then you have to decide if you want other features such as sauna, vapor proof enclosures, multiple shower jets, and so on. In the end, your needs are going to determine your budget range (or it can even be the other way round).
Anyway, once you have narrowed down your choices, you should now find out the store that gives you the most in that range. In this way, you will be able to find the store that can give you the cheapest shower enclosures in the UK.
Most stores that give cheap enclosures offer low prices only on a few basic models with inferior finishes. Do not be surprised if your cheap enclosure is a Chinese make. On the other hand, only a few stores that offer the cheapest shower enclosures in the UK will give you real value for money products. This is because they are not selling you inferior products - they are giving you great rates on standard models as they can afford to reduce the profit margin by a large amount in contrast to retail stores. Moreover, these stores offer sales that are on at almost any time of the year, and discounts too.
Taking advantage of these sales and discounts is the smartest way to shop for the cheapest shower enclosures in the UK without compromising on quality. However, you should ensure that the online store you go for in the end should be reputed and trustworthy.

Debunking Hand Dryer Myths and Misconceptions
The Xlerator hand dryer is one dryer that will surely challenge any lingering false impressions you may harbor about electric hand dryers. You may, for instance, be one of the many people who still believe that automatic hand dryers are suited for use only in the bathrooms of shopping malls, restaurants, and the like. This assumption couldn't be further from the truth. The Xlerator hand dryer and many of its competing products represent increasingly excellent alternatives to paper towels and hand towels for both industrial and home bathrooms.
Over the years, a number of pernicious myths about electric dryers have been developed, it seems by the arbitrary, dishonest rumor-mongering of paper towel dispenser manufacturers. These myths are now being shown, in study after study, for exactly what they are - pure conjecture.
The most popular among them is probably the claim that electric hand dryers are wasteful and environmentally unsound when compared to pre-existing and still market-dominant technology of paper towels. While this may have been true of early, primitive electric hand dryers, nothing could be farther from the truth when it comes to the newer, lab safe models (such as the Xlerator hand dryer) that have more recently appeared on the market, many of which are incredibly energy efficient. Indeed, a single use of an electric dryer, when compared in terms of watt-usage to the production and disposal of a single paper towel, represents only about a fifth of the energy expenditure - and that without the felling of a single tree.
Another myth that's prevented many people from installing automatic dryers in their homes is the myth of expense. Many home and business owners think that they're making the financially wise decision in continuing the use of toilet paper instead of purchasing relatively expensive electric hand dryer. Statistical analysis has proven that this is not necessarily the case. Recent studies have consistently shown that the use of dryers results in significant savings when compared to the overall cost of producing, using, refilling, and disposing paper towels. In short, the purchase of an electric dryer can be considered a modern investment that will pay real dividends in the years to come.
Another attractive advantage of the dryer when compared to paper towels is the added utility of the dryer as a fast hair drying solution. While of course rarely put to this purpose in public bathrooms, this is a fantastic advantage of having your own dryer at home. You may even forgo purchasing additional hair dryers for your guests and children and advise them to use the dryer instead. Not only are electric dryers more powerful, they also save people the need to plug and unplug appliances in the dampest room in the house, preventing possible accidents.
Yet another pervasive myth about dryers is the waste of time that people perceive it to be. However, the majority of mod dryers promote high velocity hand drying. The Xlerator, for instance, boasts an average drying time of 15 seconds.
In sum, electric dryers are neither costly, nor time-consuming, nor ecologically unsound. The Xlerator hand dryer is a prime example of an intelligent investment for every household owner looking to save time, space, and energy in the cleanest, greenest way possible.

Bidet - The Japanese Super-Toilet's Rise To Power
Most Western bathrooms, besides lacking a toilet bidet, also lack an electric socket near the toilet, something that people in Japan, where central heating is rare, were keen to install when the posterior wash with seat-warmer bidet washlet was introduced.
But after making some inroads in the US with more modern home designs, especially since the advent of low-flow toilets in the 1990s, finally, bidet washlets are starting to make an impression.
Make the trip to the bathroom a real bidet toilet experience is what many people are doing. Bidet Manufacturers are making some inroads in the US with more standard models of toilets and bidets, especially with the bidet toilet seat being introduced only in the last ten years, The combination toilet bidet continues to penetrate the American culture. Its US seat bidet and bidet faucet sales, have risen to over 7,000 units a month this year from 1500 in 2005. The trendy bidets toilets US market is the same as what was seen in Japan in 1990 not long after the first high tech bidets toilet was released. Since then markets have sprouted for not only the toilet bidet combo, but also the hand bidet and the shower bidet.
But marketing the bidet seat has not payed off yet. Building toilet seat bidet showrooms is expensive and some analysts estimate this year will be the year that bidet faucets, bidet seats, bidet hand shower and toilet bidets will make their mark.
Some analysts gloat that the cultural barrier seems to be more transparent in the US than the European market, where toilets bidets have few marketing distributors and sells a much fewer bidet toilet seats per annum.
Some analysts speculate that Europeans are not more interested in the toilet seat bidets, because they have are culturally attached to their old fashioned bidets and poor plumbing and sanitation for generations. But everyone agrees that the US is an aggressive health oriented culture that will consume the wc bidet products.
Any cultural barriers that seems now, just too hard to break, will break. That includes the European market where sales are lagging to under 15,000 bidet washlets annually, running just higher than American consumption. The Truth is just because Europeans are used to the bidet, does not mean that they'd be more interested. And no one is quite sure just why they aren't.

Bamboo Bath Towels - The Greener Choice
If you heard the word bamboo, you might be thinking of the actual tree-like plant that adorns many Asian-inspired gardens. However, with the continuous growth of technology, these very adaptable grasses can also be created into beautiful bamboo bath towels. True to the current global outcry for a greener planet, bamboo bath towels can really be an Earth-friendly choice.
The usual cotton bath towels are readily available worldwide, but consider some of its disadvantages. Cotton is not only absorbing water, it can also absorb the odor and the unlikely smell enveloping it. This is not the case with your bamboo towels. Although proven by analysts as a relatively better water absorber (as a matter of fact, bamboo towels can seep in 60% more water compared to the same-sized cotton towels), bamboo bath towels can effectively bounce off nasty odors, regardless of its persistence. This is due to the unique capability of the bamboo's surface to resist growth of moisture for a long time, thus lessening the chances for microbial and bacterial growth. Moisture can be a splendid thing, but if it is infested with microbes, the foul smell could escape its surface and could find its way to irritate your nostrils. But in towels from bamboos, you will never have to fret again. Another disadvantage of cotton towels is their use of toxic elements, however infinitesimal. This is due to the pesticides used to protect the cotton shrubs from rotting. These deadly chemicals can be absorbed by the actual cotton flower, and thus it would be carried into your towel. In bamboo, on the other hand, there is no need for any pesticide application. Even synthetic fertilizers are unnecessary for its growth.
But most especially, bamboos are organic. They help in effectively absorbing carbon emissions. In that case, would you just release the chance of helping Mother Nature by replacing your towels?

Buying a Shower Online
Buying a shower online could be a lot of fun. Depending upon the place and time, you may get decent discounts just as well. Like everything else, you can follow a certain reasonable pattern to see if you are buying yourself a product of your utility and budget. It would be a good idea to decide on your budget before you step into the market. This may keep you from getting disoriented by the whole range and variation of products which exists. Designs may come in simple formats which will serve your utility or high end deluxe models. A measurement of the bathroom space will be a good thing to do before you make your purchase. This shall keep all the disappointments at bay. While measuring, take the height as seriously as the length and breadth.
The factor most affected by the bathroom dimension would be that of the kind of module you may get for yourself. A larger bathroom space shall allow a module with sitting options such a stool and far throw water nozzle. In fact, a larger space can even accommodate two seats, which would have the option to be put against the wall or be stretched out if you wish to lie down.
Speaking of color, while buying a shower online, you realize that the acrylic glass colors would mostly show up in ground colors such as blue, baby turquoise and green. You may very well ask the company to send you a sample, which you can try against the existing color of wall paint in the bathroom. Then, something as simple as a shower head may prove prominent when it comes to a good bathing experience. Some people like nozzle pins so sharp that water hits them like pin heads on the body, a good acupuncture method to go by. Others may like to have a soft spray. If you a family person, then we shall believe that a good shower head with an adjustable feature shall help a lot. While if you are very tall, then a high up shower head, with a nozzle extension could help you with a good bath. Even a three way shower which could shoot upwards could help you in the ordeal.
Look for these features in detail. A good adjustable rubber finish of the nozzle will help in proper cleaning and fitting. Buying a shower online, you will also come across an option to go eco-friendly. The shower in such will allow a flow of a maximum 2 gallons per minute, and the spray would be wider for a better utility. The spray heads would automatically have more than one prototype for spray. There would be more than one kind of shower option to make your experience a really good one in all senses. This equipped with a good common sense, our tips, and a good use of budget will make it easier buying a shower online.

Build Your Own Steam Shower Enclosure
You may have scoured the Internet to find a steam shower enclosure that will fit in the space you have available in your bathroom so that you don't have to take on any extensive or expensive remodeling in your home. The good news is that with a little work you can easily build one on your own to fit the space without having to tear out any existing walls. However, before you start this project, you do need to do some research so that you have all the materials and information you will need to complete the job and have a unit that will work properly.
The main things you have to consider when building your own steam shower enclosure are the roof, the door, the generator and whether or not you want to have seats and storage space inside. You can easily have a steam shower suite that includes steam jets and a regular shower in the same space as you would need for a normal bathtub enclosure. If you already have a small walk-in shower in your bathroom then you are halfway there because you have the basics of the enclosure in place.
The walls and ceiling of a steam shower enclosure must be waterproof. Some of the commonly used materials for this purpose are tile, slate, ceramic, marble, granite, limestone and fiberglass. The roof must be completely covered in by an acrylic dome shape or a cover made from stainless steel or fiberglass. You also have to look at the shape of the roof. If you have a flat ceiling in the enclosure, the water will drip from the roof onto your head and face as the steam rises and then condenses. For this reason, it is better to consider installing a sloping roof on the enclosure.
A steam shower enclosure or whirlpool steam shower has to be tightly sealed so that the steam will not escape into the room when you are taking a steam shower. If you do not take care to ensure the tightness of the enclosure, you could be looking at costly repairs a few years down the road. Steam can cause a lot of damage to the walls and ceilings in the development of mold, mildew and rot. In order to have this protection, you do need to give a lot of thought to the type of door you install in the enclosure.
There are a variety of doors you can choose from for a steam shower enclosure. The door has to extend to the ceiling and it must fit the frame of the enclosure very tightly. You can choose a single door or one that also has the form-fitting frame. There is a wide variety of designs and colors to choose from as well, with doors containing clear, obscure or deco glass. Depending on the size of the enclosure you build, you can also have the door custom built to fit the opening.
In order to have properly functioning steam shower units, you have to purchase and install a steam generator. You may need to hire a plumber and an electrician to do this for you if you don't have the experience needed for the job. The steam generator has to be connected to both the water line and to electricity.
The placement of the generator in the unit is also of importance to the final result. You can have this installed in a cabinet in the bathroom, in the basement or even in the attic. It doesn't need to be within the steam shower enclosure at all. Most can be as much as 50 feet away from the enclosure and still give you the proper amount of steam for your needs.

Baby Boy Shower - Ideas For Decorations
Baby boy shower decorations can come in all shapes and sizes, and need not be expensive to make. In fact, the best baby boy shower decorations are those that are fashioned by the guests themselves, in tribute to the mother and her unborn son. If you are looking for ideas for baby boy shower decorations, then this article might be able to help you out.
You can start making baby boy shower decorations by taking care of your venue's lighting. If you are holding the shower at the home of a friend and have full control over what you do, you can put small blue votive candles in empty jars of baby food. You can light these and place them in nearby tables and desks. Just be sure to watch these delicate baby boy shower decorations: the last thing you want is for your home to catch fire!
Drape the ceiling of your venue with baby blue ribbons, and hang used baby bottles from these ribbons. If you can afford to splurge on these cute baby boy shower decorations, fill the bottles up with light blue jellybeans or gummy candies. At the end of the shower, your guests can take home these sweet baby boy shower decorations with them as souvenirs.
You do not need to make a single centerpiece for your event. You can put together many small baby boy shower decorations in a punch bowl filled with water, then let these float around. You can put in little blue balloons, rubber ducks, and other floating toys. If you are having children over for the baby shower, then you can have a game and ask the children to pick their prizes from the punch bowl. The baby boy shower decorations automatically become toys and gifts for your guests.
If you are having a formal shower, you can use light blue pacifiers as napkin rings. If your guests are up for it, you can drink out of light blue, used baby bottles, and you can have milk and cookies for snacks. A baby shower should call back memories of childhood and playtime fun: a memorable baby shower will make your guests remember all the fun they had as children, without boring them or making them roll their eyes in irritation.

How to Plan a Spa Theme Bridal Shower
Want to know how to plan a spa theme bridal shower? It's easy, fun and can fit into any budget.
So, if you're thinking this sounds like a great idea, here are some suggestions to make your party a success.
o First gather your guest list, and get a number count. This will help you decide where to hold your party. Large or small, a spa idea can work.
o If you have a small group, you can go to a local salon. Facials, massages, and getting your nails done, are some of the services available. There are often special packages and prices for groups, so check ahead. Depending on your budget, you may want to follow up with lunch at a local restaurant, or the spa may offer a menu. This is a great outing for close friends and family members of the bride. She'll love this idea.
o If you have a large group, you can still plan a spa theme bridal shower. Ask guests to attend in comfortable clothing.
Let your location set the mood. Use plants, a fountain, and baskets filled with towels, to decorate. You could also hang bathrobes. Serve healthy snacks and have a light main meal. Play soothing music.
o You can plan a spa theme bridal shower for a large or small group, at your own location, and still
follow through with this theme. Your entertainment could include an aromatherapist giving a talk, someone could do makeovers on several of the guests, or a beautician could do nails. See what time and your budget allows.
o Let guests leave with a spa themed favor. Nail polish, lipstick, scented candles, or a small potted plant are just some of the ideas to select. This will be a nice remembrance.
o Don't forget a spa theme gift for the bride. This could be anything she would appreciate. How about a bridal package for before the wedding? Or a series of massages after the wedding? A monogrammed bathrobe is a luxurious gift, or assemble a basket of her favorite beauty products. Let it be a nice ending to her special party.
