I've got an easy yet satisfying home decor tip to share today!  If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed that made a switch recently. Chloe's bedroom and the guest bedroom have switched places. The guest bedroom gets much better light and Chloe decided making the move was worth it (even if it meant her bedroom was now next door to ours, ha!). We moved all the guest bedroom furniture out and her furniture in. It was easy to do as the rooms are almost the same size so all of the furniture fit. Chloe's closet and the...

For bathrooms, en-suites, or powder rooms on the smaller side, a great space-saving solution is a compact toilet. Making some of the best toilets for small bathrooms, these fixtures come with smart features like fully-shrouded, shorter bowls, and concealed tanks to name a few.

Teacher Jacqueline Magdalena asks one of the younger-looking boys, in Towa, which clan his family claims.He’s nervous and shies away from different images, representing family clans, tacked...

Whilst researching and writing my previous feature on the best video game adaptations of movies, I restricted myself to only include films directly based on specific films. However, I was reminded of the embarrassment of riches amongst games based on franchises –- either films set in the same universe, or in many cases pseudo-sequels or prequels that never saw a movie screen, but whose storylines did manage to hit consoles or home computers.As with the previous article, there's a lot of detritus to sort through –- quality control is slightly better than direct movie adaptations, but barely. That said, there...
