]]> You know what’s really frustrating? Setting an alarm on your phone to get up early enough to get ready for work and have enough time to stop for a coffee on the way…Only to never hear the alarm go off. Has that happened to you? While technology can be a blessing in so many ways it can be extremely detrimental when you’re relying on that one thing to help you accomplish a task. 

After all, in a world that seemingly goes faster day by day, timing is everything. Need to time something you’re cooking? Want to take a nap before getting back to work? Have a class you can’t miss? 

Consider investing in a two-hour timer. They’re not pricey, they’re small, and they quite literally save you time. We’ve rounded up the seven best two hour timers of 2022 that should make your life a bit easier.

If you’re in a hurry, here are our top 3 quick picks for the best Two Hour Timer of 2022

Criteria for Choosing the Best Two Hour Timer

We looked at three criteria for this list. 

Reliability: As simple as it sounds, does the timer actually work? A good way of checking is by looking at the reviews. Nobody is more honest than a buyer who has spent their hard-earned money on a new product. 

Price: What exactly do you get for the price of the timer? Do you get a two-pack with one brand for less than the price of one from another brand? Is it better to spend more on a certain timer or does the price not correlate to the quality? We will investigate this with each timer. 

Versatility: Can you program your timer? Does it work in the kitchen and the classroom? How user-friendly is it? After all, a timer shouldn’t be hard to figure out.

Whether you need wipes for disinfecting at home or on the go take a look at this list for some options. Of course, check the reviews, and the actual ingredients in each product to make the most informed decision possible. Good health is worth the investment!

Criteria for Choosing the Dyson Tower Fans

What makes Dyson fans different than any other fans?

There are a lot of great automation features in the app, and all settings are powerful and quiet. Despite the large base, it feels solid and unlikely to topple over even from a minor bump. 

Do Dyson fans actually cool the air?

Many of them work great at cooling the air and heating or purifying the room as well. In addition to quieter operations, Dyson fans have also been designed acoustically so they will be more attractive than most other fans.

Is a Dyson fan quiet?

Dynamic fans are quieter than traditional fans. They still emit audible noises, however, especially if you set the volume high. In general, these premium fans are among the quietest fans available, so if you are looking for a chic, quiet cooling solution, you won’t be disappointed.

How long can you leave a Dyson fan on?

The fan simply stays on continuously while you’re in cooling mode; there is no temperature control. With the built-in timer, it can be set to turn off after 15 minutes, six hours, or nine hours.

With Dyson’s uniquely engineered product lines, the company sets itself apart from the competition. It can be difficult to find the right model from Dyson’s tower fan lineup, even though the whole line is smaller and newer than the vacuum cleaner collection. There are a lot of similar products available at any given time since the company is constantly refreshing its product lines.

]]> It seems like life hacks are all the rage nowadays. Tricks and tips to make life a little easier. So here’s a little ruffle for you. What life hack is eco-friendly, cheap, and easy to manage and clean? 

Spray bottles. 

They’re not just for cleaning anymore. 

Spray bottles are an underrated treasure in terms of versatility. You can use them for cooking, cleaning, gardening, and even for hair care or general beauty needs. Trying to make that expensive bottle of olive oil last longer? Experience that irritating experience when you pour olive oil, just wanting to use a tiny amount but a whole flood of the expensive oil comes rushing out instead? Try pouring some in a spray bottle! 

The same concept goes toward expensive hair care and beauty products. It’s very frustrating when the bottles the products come in are designed in a way where it’s hard to disperse a small amount. Spray bottles are a good way of bridging that gap and saving you money in the process.

If you’re in a hurry, here are our top 3 quick picks for the Best Spray Bottle of 2022

Criteria for Choosing the Best Spray Bottle

Quality: We know nobody is looking for Prada quality when searching for a good spray bottle. However, that doesn’t mean you just want to buy the cheapest bottle around. We’ve picked bottles made of good quality materials, where the material of the bottle doesn’t affect the quality of whatever you choose to fill the said bottle with. (Nobody wants plasticity smelling cooking oils!) 

Durability: Does the spray bottle work as advertised? Does it last past a few weeks? Can you wash the bottle without it falling apart? Does it administer an even spray consistently? 

Price/Reviews: It’s always worth comparing the number of five-star reviews a product has compared to the number of one-star reviews. What is the ratio of good to bad ratings? We’re also not going for the cheapest spray bottles, but if a spray bottle is less expensive and of good quality, it’s just an added bonus!

]]> There is no better feeling than a hot shower after a long day of work. What really seals the deal is when the water pressure from the shower head is just right, high enough to help you feel clean and refreshed, but not too high of a pressure that doesn’t feel satisfactory. 

The question is, how do you find the right high-pressure shower head? Right now there’s a lot of options on the market, from shower heads that administer water like a rain shower, to shower heads that can be detached and used as a handheld device. 

So what works best for you, the buyer? 

We’ve compiled a list of the seven best high-pressure shower heads available right now, with different strengths that will hopefully help you enjoy the best showers that deliver maximum comfort.

If you’re in a hurry, here are our top 3 quick picks for the Best High Pressure Shower Heads of 2022

Criteria for Choosing the High Pressure Shower Heads

Design: Some of the high pressure shower heads on this list have wide, circular bases (for that rain shower feeling) while others are smaller, and one shower head even has a square shape. In terms of design a buyer must consider what sort of shower experience they want day after day. Do you want water running on you straight from above in a square configuration, or do you want your shower weather forecast to have a high chance of overhead rain showers? 

Reviews: A lot of the top high pressure shower heads have an incredible amount of reviews, but that doesn’t mean they’re all glowing five star ratings. Compare the ratio of five star ratings to one star and see which one outweighs the other. 

Is It Worth The Price? Most of the shower heads on the following list aren’t extravagant in terms of pricing. But does cheaper equate to durability? Is it worth spending more on a pricier shower head if it lasts longer? We will explore this.

The 7 of Best High Pressure Shower Heads of 2022

The SparkPod Shower Head

Silver, sleek, and 18,611 reviews and counting.

Users can tilt the shower head in any direction they want, and the SparkPod does tout the rain shower feeling based on the design of the shower head.

Size:

So a lot of these desk pads had a lot in common. PU leather (again, remember that PU leather is NOT real leather), dual sides, multiple colors, and decent pricing among other factors. The reviews are really a great way to determine which desk pad to purchase among this list. While all seven options are great choices, looking at the reviews will make it easier for you to determine which desk pad best suits your needs. 

And remember to pick the right size! The desk pad in all actuality is like the mouse pad’s older sibling, bigger, able to accommodate more items, and generally a great addition to an office space. These items are all supposed to be about making life a bit easier, and hopefully one of these desk pads will help in enhancing a workspace area.

The post The Seven Best Headphone Stands of 2021 appeared first on Grit Daily News.

]]> I was recently on a flight headed back home after a long week when something came flying in my direction from the passenger in the seat ahead of me. 

“My headphones! Can you please grab them?” The lady asked, her arm reaching out near me in a way that made me want to jump out of my seat. (I haven’t flown since October 2019, so random strangers attempting to invade my personal space was anxiety-inducing.) 

Thankfully the lady’s headphones had the courtesy to land right below my seat. I returned them to their home, and watched the lady happily put them back on her head, spending the rest of the flight ensconced in a movie on her phone. 

While a headphone stand obviously isn’t feasible during flying (I mean, technically some are small enough to place on an airplane tray table, but you get what I mean), it’s definitely a product worth considering if you like to keep your headphones safely in one place, and not flying or falling on the floor. We’ve compiled a list of the seven best headphone stands of 2021 that will make your life a bit easier if you have a pair of headphones that you treasure.

If you’re in a hurry, here are our top 3 quick picks for the Best Headphone Stands of 2021

Criteria for Choosing the Best Headphone Stands

Durability/Portability:

Could you bring your headphone stand on an airplane if necessary? Is it foldable or easily portable, so you can take it with you when traveling? Does it withstand the turbulence of life or crack under pressure? 

Price:

You shouldn’t have to break the bank for a headphone stand. The most expensive stands on this list are still under a hundred dollars, with many costing less than twenty dollars. 

Reviews:

This goes without saying. Always check the top reviews and the lowest reviews for any product before clicking buy now. Sometimes a good thing to check is the ratio of good to bad reviews. Do the five-star reviews far outnumber the bad reviews? Or is it pretty even in terms of positive and negative ratings? User photos and videos are also a good barometer for the effectiveness of the product.
