By JANE E. BRODYAPRIL 13, 2009Throughout my early childhood I was tucked into bed with a gentle admonition: "Good night, sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite." Not that my parents or I had ever seen a bed bug or known anyone bitten by one.But these days this old saying has resonance for many more people than in years past, including those who sleep in expensive homes and four-star hotels. Last month, a family living in a $3 million private house in Brooklyn discarded rooms' worth of furniture, the cushions carefully slashed and notes attached saying the pieces had bed bugs and were not safe to take.Had this been the case 40-odd years ago when I became stop a New York homeowner, I might have had a hard time furnishing my rooms; most were decorated with foundlings, including cushioned chairs. In those days, street scavengers like me had little reason to worry about bed bugs. But the bed bug problem has become so widespread in 21st- century America that The ...

On the quest to find the cutting edge of beauty, all roads lead east. Asia and its beauty-obsessed culture has given us Brits such innovations as BB creams, CC creams, cushion compacts, sheet masks, sleep-packs and snail facials -and that's just for starters. But while Japanese brands such as SK-II, Shiseido and Shu Uemura have long been household names on our shores, South Korea and its booming beauty bounty is now increasing its influence shop on the global stage. "The Western beauty consciousness is definitely shifting its focus from Japan to South Korea," thinks Alexia Inge, co-founder of Cult Beauty, an online emporium dedicated to cherry-picking the very best products in the world. "I was in Japan in April and speaking to beauty experts over there, and everybody agrees all of the innovation is coming out of Korea.

Onccc knows from the hard ware wholesale market in Yiwu International Trade Mart that the colored sanitary wares are now prevailing in 2009. As people are more emphasized upon individualization and personality, single white color can not meet various individualized demands of different persons. In a shop in Yiwu International Trade Mart, Onccc found various sanitary wares are dazzling customers' eyes with rich colors. According to the sellers, the color sanitary wares are well-received by buyers since they came into being. Different colors will let you feel differently. Purple and pink make you feel sweet and romantic; yellow, green, orange will make you feel passionate and dynamic; blue and white make you feel pure and clean; red, black and grey will completely display your personality and individuality. Compared to the common sanitary wares, color ones are using high-grade colored acryl rather than traditional ceramics. The acryl material makes sanitary feel more comfortable a...

A couple of weeks ago, I had a moment of rude awakening. It was 11.45pm on a Friday night and I was lying in bed with my best beloved, paying him no attention whatsoever. In fact, it suddenly occurred to me that I'd just spent an hour reading friends' Facebook posts, with the occasional detour to browse Fifties' frocks on eBay. My other half, battery meanwhile, was totally focused on a laptop trawl through political opinion pieces with which he violently disagreed. Every five minutes or so he would laugh cynically, or mutter: "Imbecile…"We hadn't spoken since we brushed our teeth and our bodies weren't touching: we might as well have been in separate rooms, separate space stations, galaxies apart. I said loudly: "This is how the human race will disappear. Not climate change, not fire or ice – but no one ever having sex again because we can't prise our wild, staring, bloodshot eyes away from ruddy screens."My love and I are in danger of bec...

FIRST Daughter Amy Carter may not be planning to move in January -- she just recently received an innerspring mattress to go with her antique canopy poster bed in the family quarters of the White House. The feather mattresses that once were standard on the antique wood beds in the Lincoln Room at the White House, Blair House and Mount Vernon are long gone. Instead, these valuable old beds sport firm innerspring mattresses. Robert Shone, president of Truman Boyle Bedding, who made the mattresses for these historic beds, claims that they are one of the last manufacturers of custom bedding in the area. "There used to be about 12 companies that specialized in bedding. But one by one they stopped. The larger mattress companies, like Serta and Sealy, can't battery afford to upset their production to make a one-of-a-kind mattress. "Boyle charges anywhere between $200-$400. Shone says they handle an average of seven mattresses per week. They make both innerspring and foam mattre...
