More travelers than ever seem to want to stay in hotels that keep the environment in mind. Although many hotel chains have taken steps toward reducing their impact on the planet, there are a few that stand out above the rest. Check out these three hotel chains to see how they pursue green initiatives and hold their properties accountable for sustainability improvements. Wyndham Hotels’ Constant Green Improvements Many Wyndham hotels are located near picturesque natural destinations, from pristine beaches teeming with tropical fish to Rocky Mountain backdrops perfect for hiking. It only makes sense that the hotel chain would want to establish clean initiatives to preserve these locations with for generations to come. All Wyndham resorts commit to completing landscaping and watering between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. in order to reduce evaporation. Inside the properties, Wyndham staff members use environmentally friendly cleaners and tissues. The hotel group has also replaced outdated ...
Product Review – Silicone Muffin Pan
Last week, I was sent a silicone muffin pan from Bear Bakeware to try out and review. The pan in nonstick, so the muffins will easily come out when they are done. It’s heat resistant up to 450 degrees, and makes 12 regular sized muffins. I have a similar silicone pan for jumbo muffins that I wore out. I’ve noticed lately that the majority of the muffin mixes no longer have the recipes for jumbo muffins, so I’ve haven’t bothered to replace it. I was very excited to get this pan since I’ve never tried a silicone pan from regular sized muffin before. You use the pan like you would any other; however you really don’t have to grease it with anything. Now, I do put a light spray of spray butter right on the bottom to ensure that nothing sticks. I have had that happen in the past with my other pan. You have to make sure that you don’t get any on the side or the batter won’t be able to rise well because it will have nothing to stick to. I made a batch of blueberry muffins, and ...
Product Review – ChiroDoc Coccyx Cushion
A few weeks ago, I was sent a Coccyx cushion from ChiroDoc to try out and review. The cushion is designed to help reduce back pain. It’s made from memory foam, and relieves pain by relieving direct stress & pressure from your tailbone. I recently started working a full time desk job and I never realized how uncomfortable sitting for long periods could be. I never really noticed it at home since I could get up and move around when I needed to. I decided to try it out at home first before taking it into work with me. The cushion is very soft to the touch and comfortable. I noticed right away that my posture was better. I don’t feel the need to slouch in order to get comfortable in my chair. I’ve used it now for about two weeks for at least a few hours each day. So far, it’s hasn’t flattened out or gotten lumpy. My daughter really likes it too and is constantly trying to use it as a pillow. Overall, the cushion has been very nice so far. It’s comfortable and my back ...

Product Review – Electronic Bug Zapper
A few weeks, I was asked to try out and review the Electronic Bug Zapper from Ohuhu. The zapper is designed to be used indoors and uses two 10 watt UV bulbs. It covers up to 320 square feet and makes no zap sound. The zapper itself is made with thin metal and plastic. You can replace the bubs by first discharging it with a screwdriver, then pulling down the screen. It also has a plastic tray to catch bugs that slides in and out. It comes with a chain that you can use to hang it. It’s a nice looking bug zapper, but there are a few issues. First of all, I placed it in a variety of places around the house & even outside under our covered porch. It zapped a grand total of 4 bugs. It attracted swarms of mosquitoes & little gnats, but they just kept flying in and out of it. At one point, there was a fly going in and out of it. It would get zapped and land in the tray, but then after a few seconds it would fly off again. The other issue I found is that it gets ...
