Clean, White Towels The ultimate feeling to achieve when staging is that of which you get when entering a freshly made hotel room.

Clean, white towels exude comfort and cleanliness.

In a key area such as bathrooms, keeping these on display will go a long way.

If you don’t have white towels, for the purpose of staging, you can pick up cheap ones at places like Costco where they often sell packs of 6+ for $25.00.

PROTECT YOUR TECH

There’s nothing worse than accidently dropping your expensive smartphone on the ground or in water and damaging it. However, there are ways to protect your device from damage should it take a spill. Here are a few suggestions to help you keep your smartphone in good shape:

PROTECTIVE CASES Many people rave about the design of today’s smartphones. However, if you want to protect your tech, purchase a silicone or plastic case to absorb the impact of a fall. Cases come in a variety of colours and patterns to help you express your style.

PROTECT YOUR SCREEN screen may be tough enough to withstand a fall. However, sand can still scratch it, so if you’re a beach bum, consider spending a few dollars on a screen protector.

KEEP MOISTURE AT BAY Moisture is an enemy to all types of gadgets. Wrap your device in a towel overnight if you live in a humid area. Also, try not to bring your phone with you into the bathroom when you shower or into the kitchen while you’re cooking. And, if you keep your phone on you while you exercise, use a moisture-proof sports case to prevent your sweat and surrounding humidity from taking their toll.
