Piping For a New Shower - New Shower Fixtures



SHOWER RAIN DOME: This a pretty easy upgrade. Basically it's a huge shower head that makes you feel like you're standing under a gentle waterfall. They come in different shapes and sizes, square and round, large, medium, and small. The only thing you have to consider is the height of the shower. They typically hand from the center of the shower ceiling and sometimes they sit lower in the shower. If the shower doesn't have enough head room you'll whack your noggin on it.

SLIDE BAR WITH A HAND HELD SHOWER: This can be done in two different ways. Usually a slide bar is installed with an adjustable bracket that holds a snap in hand held shower. The slide bar and hand held shower can also be installed next to a stationary shower head. The shower arm is usually installed with a small diverter valve that directs the water from the stationary shower head to the hand held.

BODY SPRAYS: Body sprays can be mounted just about anywhere but they are usually mounted in pairs or, more commonly, in threes. Most times when body sprays are installed a diverter valve must also be installed to divert the water from the fixed shower head to the body sprays.

SHOWER TOWERS: A lot of manufacturers are beginning to manufacture all-in-one shower towers which combine a rain dome shower head, body sprays and a hand held shower in one convenient space saving panel. Jacuzzi's J-shower (shower panel), Kohler's DVT or Waterhaven and Grohe's Aquatower are a few examples. These can be as simple as three body sprays and a shower rain dome and as complex as body sprays, shower rain dome, slide bar with hand held, sound system with IPod dock and LCD complete with Internet connection. These options can be quite expensive, but are generally set up to be "plug and play". Just a word of caution, if you do happen to choose a Kohler DVT, have a plumbing technician that knows his stuff, these need special attention. As long as the opening is correct and the pipe sizing is right, you're good to go.

STEAM GENERATOR: Steam generator units are becoming more and more popular in a homeowner's shower. A steam unit can be installed behind a wall or inside a shower seat. Water is piped to the unit and it is heated to steam, the steam releases through a head or heads in the shower. As with most of the above, these can become quite complex, having custom controls and even aroma therapy.

Applying Designer Perfume and Body Spray



How much perfume is too much? You've probably been around the person wearing too much fragrance in public or in an office - the scent, no matter how pleasant, is often overbearing and distracting. But, aside from being a distraction, too much perfume can actually be a health hazard for some, particularly those with asthma. Perfume can be worn to make an impression, if subtle, but too much might give the wrong type of impression - that you're covering up some kind of body odor. When you plan to wear perfume, think of those that will be around you and try to tone down the scent.

Whether you're wearing a designer perfume or a body spray, basic application of the scent can go a long way. One suggestion is to use scent only on "warm spots" - the wrist, ears, inner elbows, and the neck near the collar bone. For some, this may be too much, and picking out one of these places - the wrist or neck, in particular - is best. Body sprays, on the other hand, should be misted to be like a dust all over. Before you purchase any designer perfume or body spray, make sure it suits you by testing it first, and never mix it with other fragrances when wearing, be it scented deodorant or hair products.

In other instances, wearing any perfume is simply too much. A recent court case in Detroit decided that workers in three city buildings shouldn't wear any scents - no perfume, cologne, aftershave, or deodorant - after a city worker in 2008 filed a lawsuit after a coworker wearing perfume made the environment a challenge to work at. Presently, all scented products are banned from these city government buildings in Detroit.
