Designer secret: It’s important that rooms appeal to all five senses.
Sound can help us relax, increase our energy level, even increase our productivity.
Look for classical melodies to boost your concentration and creativity,
and upbeat tunes to raise the energy levels.

I don’t what the delicious scent was in the air last night,
but it is NOT the first time I’ve noticed it here.

The subject matter may be disheartening,
but the book was most enjoyable!
Did you know that the original penguins [AUKS] were in the northern hemisphere, many around Newfoundland and Labrador?
Unfortunately. both the birds and their eggs were tasty, their oiliness suggested multiple uses…and they are gone.
Highly recommended.
