Review: Bed Sheets by J.R United Industries



A good set of sheets is an integral part of a nice and comfy bed which in turn is a must for a good night's sleep. The Eucalyptus Sheets by J.R. United Industries, that I got to review has clearly become my favorite within a very short span. Their online store, The Factory, has a nice and beautiful collection of not only bedsheets but also towels for bath, pools, and beaches.

J.R. United Industries have two brand names under their wings, Vizcaya and Havana, Vizcaya being the brand for Luxury Hotel Collections and Havana for the Luxury Outdoor collections.


The varieties of bedsheets that they offer are Eucalyptus Sheet Set, Villena Sheet set, and Catalina Sheets and to be brand specific they all fall under the Vizcaya Luxury Hotel collection. 



The sheets had a nice feel from the time I got them out of the package, to washing them and putting them on the bed. They feel nice and crisp and remind me of nice hotel quality sheets. The quality is definitely there and I know they will last a long time before any wear and tear. The king sized sheets also feature a grey piping on the pillow cases was a nice added touch.





All their products are manufactured at their factory in Guatemala.

Wednesday, September 28, 2016




Don't get stuck handing out just sugary candy to trick-or-treaters. Prevent the sugar overload with edible and non edible Halloween treat and bag fillers for those little trick or treaters.


Earth's Best-




Spell out HALLOWEEN and hand out healthy snack packs such as Earth's Best (Sesame Street) Organic Letter of the Day Vanilla Cookies. Candy won’t crowd out the healthy foods if kids are intrigued with the tasty alphabet treat.



Who doesn’t love a chocolate chip cookie? KIDSAFE Cookies are a perfect Halloween “treat” in its own little package. 




Snyder’s of Hanover-





Snyder’s of Hanover® has Halloween-themed peanut-free pretzels that are guaranteed not to scare kids away this season. The Snyder’s of Hanover Halloween Snack Packs retail for around $4.99 and include 24 of the 0.5 oz. individual bags of mini pretzels. 


Earlier this year Snyder’s of Hanover® transitioned its main pretzel bakery to a peanut-free production facility to accommodate consumer demand for peanut-free snacks. This important change makes Snyder's of Hanover® pretzels the perfect choice to hand out during trick-or-treat or send to school with your kid(s) for a classroom Halloween party. Because these pretzels are peanut-free, moms don’t need to worry about who gets their hands on these delicious treats!



** Watch this spot for more non sugary and non edible bag fillers.

Are You Owed Compensation?





There are various things in life that are out of our control. And when some of these external effects take hold of our lives, we can often end up at a disadvantage. Thankfully, there are some things that we can claim compensation for. Have you ever been a victim for reasons that were out of your control? Then there is a big chance that you are eligible for some money. Here is a list of some of the things that you can claim compensation for.

A Delayed Or Cancelled Flight

Do you often fly from an EU country using a European airline? Then you can sometimes claim compensation if your flight is severely delayed or canceled. On all flights that are delayed by more than two hours, you can receive a free drink and snack. You will also be given access to emails and a phone to contacts those who may be waiting for you. Should you be delayed overnight, the airline will put you up in a hotel. For flights that are delayed over three hours, you can claim compensation. However, only of it is the fault of the airline. Get in touch with your airline if this ever happens to you.


Occupational Injuries

No matter what type of work you do for a living, you should always be provided with plenty of safety equipment. Things like noise-cancelling headphones, dust masks, and protective gloves. These will be supplied by your employer. If they aren’t, and you contract an illness or have an accident, you can claim compensation. One of the most common occupational health conditions that people claim for is mesothelioma. Many construction workers who have been exposed to asbestos develop this form of lung cancer. If you want to claim, you can find your mesothelioma attorney in Madeksho Law.

Criminal Injury

There are some criminal activities that could result in you getting badly injured. If you have been involved in one of these, then you might be eligible for compensation. This could be worth your while if you had to take time off work because of the injuries that you sustained. Whether you suffered from physical injuries or have found it hard to mentally cope ever since you should contact a lawyer and see if you can make a claim.


Car Accidents

Have you recently been involved in a car accident that wasn’t your fault? If so, you should be able to receive some money as compensation. But there is one important thing to remember – you will need witnesses who saw the crash and can vouch for you. That is why it is always important to stop people straight after an accident if you think they saw what happened. You should be able to get money to compensate your injuries as well as any expenses that you have incurred. Hiring a personal injury lawyer Los Angeles could help you after an accident. Hiring a lawyer to handle your personal injury case can help you get money to help you with any medical or insurance bills.

Feel like you have been made a victim for reasons out of your control? Then you can probably claim for it! Hopefully, this blog post has given you plenty of ideas what exactly you can claim for.
