I was never quite sure whether I liked handheld shower heads or not. It always annoyed me that they moved around in their holder, or that you had to pick them up and unwind the hose in order to use them. But it wasn't until I got really frustrated with the one in my current granny-house that I began to wonder seriously what good they were. This article is about the benefits of handheld and fixed showerheads , and how to switch one out for the other. From Wall Mount to Hand-Held Shower Head Normally I would never consider switching from a wall mount "fixed" shower head to a hand held one, but for new parents or pet owners the switch can be helpful. Hand held shower heads can be used for a variety of tasks, including: Washing your dog (or cat) in the tub. Showing your child how to take a shower for the first time. Playing "spray the kid" if your child is whining about having to take a bath. Rinsing your face and hair when you're still in the tub, if you don...

The Laylow Waikiki is one of the newest hotels in Hawaii, and is also one of my favorites. The Laylow Waikiki is one of the newest hotels in Hawaii.  It’s also the newest Marriott in Hawaii, as well as the first Autograph Collection hotel on Oahu.  And as a Marriott loyalist , it was a hotel I really wanted to check out. Prices for the property, though, are quite high, as it is a luxury boutique hotel .  But before opening, the property had some really great pre-opening kama’aina rates, which I decided to take advantage of. Location As its name suggests, the Laylow Waikiki is in Oahu’s main tourist district : Waikiki.  However, unlike many of the larger, more well-known properties, it is not located on Kalakaua Ave.  Instead, the Laylow’s location is on the “back street” Kuhio Ave.  And while not having a beach-front location may be a negative for some, I think the Laylow’s location is a benefit.  Why?  Because it’s located in between the International Market Place and Hyatt Centric...

Saturday Mother woke me this afternoon with sharp raps on the front room ceiling . My eyes opened wide and I shouted down in my best sensible voice. “Yes, I’m upstairs!” I had been having another flashback in my sleep and it was pleasant. I do not see myself as a bad person. I stood against my door and hurriedly pulled on my trews. Then I peeled back the edge of my rolled-down curtain and peered out through the pale yellow light . It was not the police. The kids were seated on the roof of another burnt car on the Walk. I stepped back and rubbed my face and moustache which were itchy with dry sweat. Everything was still and loud. I could hear the kids’ laughter and hammering against the car. It was vital I caught the local News on my television, though it was not yet evening. I had time to kill. From the room below I heard her panting and then a longer groan, so I went down. But why did the electric light have to be on when everyone can see us from the Walk? It was making shadows on th...

In our new series Pregnancy Diaries , we ask expecting women to jot down every pregnancy-related detail of their lives for a week. (Special thanks to New York mag and Refinery29 for the inspo.) Work-related conundrums, struggles with IVF, and a whole lot of nausea, ahead. For our eighth entry, we have a 33-year-old part-time publicist from Connecticut who’s 25 weeks along. She and her husband of almost eight years have a “spirited” two-and-a-half-year-old girl, and don’t know the sex of baby number two.  How long did it take you to conceive?  It took just a couple of months to conceive baby #2. My cycle has tended to fluctuate month-to-month since having my daughter, so it was a bit of a challenge to track accurately. We’ve been incredibly fortunate and have not experienced any fertility issues to-date. Any other details relevant to your pregnancy? Our daughter was born three weeks and one day early, and I gave birth less than three hours after my water broke. This is known as precipit...
