Anyways I thought it was best to drop by and wish myself a Happy Blog-o-versary! And here is hoping that my micro-blogging days with my Instagram account (@Jacqui) doesn’t die out.

P.S. You know what I think for this Ramadan I will be posting one post a day and getting back into it!  I really hope I don’t give up!

NOTE: I haven’t prepared any “iPhone-friendly” versions but follow me on Instagram @Jacqui for individual mini-reviews on some of the shows that are airing.  Starting soon I will prepare the smaller posters and share them.

I haven’t even posted a Happy New Year post, or a New Years Resolutions one and we are almost done with January! Wow I really have been a bad blogger.

But I have been busy with life, that I can tell you.  I need a new blog design and maybe that will get me back to writing again, don’t you think?! Let’s see how 2017 will treat us!

Also, Happy New Year!!!!

P.S. How sad is it that my 2016 posts fit on one page, I only wrote 7 times last year.  I guess Instagram truly has taken over.  Maybe I should archive instagram posts here since I am slightly more active there!

You’ve been thinking about hitting the sack all day. Your teeth are brushed, pajamas worn and you slip into your comfy bed. Then you toss and turn for the rest of the night until your alarm tells you it’s time to get up the next morning. If you struggle with falling asleep, you’re not alone, so do 60 million Americans, NPR reports. For some, it’s difficulty quieting their minds or finding comfort in their bed. For others, it’s the fear of their safety in their own homes or the over stimulation as a result of blue light. Luckily, in a world that revolves around technology, there is a gadget out there for everyone who struggles with falling asleep at night.

Home Security Camera System

For those who get anxious from home creaks and moans when trying to fall asleep, a home security camera system will put you at ease. A quality security system will allow you to monitor your home and its surroundings from the comfort of your bed using a smartphone or tablet. Features such as infrared night vision and motion-activated push-notifications will reduce any anxiety that creeps up during bedtime to allow you to fall asleep in peace.

Sound Conditioners and White Noise Machines

Even the quietest sounds are disruptive when we’re trying to fall asleep. A sound machine creates an ambiance that promotes healthy and relaxing sleep. There are two options to consider when buying a sound machine, a white noise machine or a sound conditioner. A white noise machine soothes users with white noise that is conducive to peacefulness. A sound conditioner muffles distracting sounds and also emits a series of low pulsing hums, which coaxes the brain into sleep.

Smart LED Light System

Limiting your exposure to artificial light, or blue light, after dusk will improve your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. If you can’t avoid using your devices or watching television, replace the light bulbs in your bedroom with biologically corrected white LED light bulbs that filter blue light to allow melatonin to do its job.

If you want to control your light system from your smartphone, LIFX is a Wi-Fi enabled, multi-color, energy-efficient LED light bulb that will improve your ability to fall asleep. The different color options affect different aspects of your body, e.g., light purple slows your heart rate to relax your mind and body, and deep red helps you fall asleep.

Smart Pillow

A great pillow is crucial to a good night’s rest, but a smart pillow further enhances the sleep experience and helps you fall asleep faster. To keep your pillow cool, place a cooling relief pad over it. When activated, the pad will drop the pillow’s temperature to give you the cooling sensation of flipping your pillow to the other side. It provides a cool relaxation that will help you fall asleep and stay asleep without any pillow flipping.

Another option to consider is a sound therapy pillow, which comes equipped with built-in speakers that play low-level music to help soothe your mind. It’s a better alternative to falling asleep with headphones in or fumbling with electronics late at night.

I have abandoned my blog, twitter, and pretty much some of my friends because I can’t be bothered sometimes hehe.  I think Instagram and Snapchat are the most updated social media platforms I’ve got and twitter gets updated automatically with my Instagram.  Maybe I should find a way to post whatever I share on Instagram here on the blog.  That can generate lots of material but then again some would be noise.

Anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get my groove back? How to jump back on the blogging wagon! Hell I forgot to even celebrate my blog’s 12th anniversary! It’s been 12 years! Drop me a line if you are still around here reading!

If you still look for me and want to read or see anything about my life, be sure to follow me on Instagram: @Jacqui and Twitter: @Jacquies
