The saying has been around for plenty of years, "If you're tooth brush is in the same room as the toilet, every time the toilet flushes, droplets of bacteria are released onto the brush". Most people who have heard this saying start to get quite panicked and ideally they have a right to be, they believe that it is like brushing your teeth with a toilet cleaner.
But is this saying really true? We are now seeing a lot of the olden day houses, being converted into separate bathrooms and toilets. But if you are doing it for this reason then I would highly suggest against it. Bathroom remodelling is a major industry these days; it is way up there with fitted kitchens. But a bathroom is not the same as a kitchen, and you do not want to be spending thousands of pounds, which could be spent much more wisely. There are a few simple adjustments and implementations that you can perform on your bathroom to get it looking great and the way you want.
First and foremost have a close look at your bath tub? Does it really need changing or are you just being fussy? If it does ultimately need changing, then you can realistically pick up a new tub for around one hundred pounds.
Secondly and most importantly, if you have a two in one bathroom and it works, then don't replace it. Why waste money just because of a saying? If you are really worried about your toothbrush getting bacteria then you should place it in a cupboard or place a cap over it.
Next and most importantly is your colour scheme, getting the painting and flooring right is an essential part of bathroom decorations. Firstly, regarding the flooring I would highly recommend some type of linoleum system, as there's always a lot of water in the bathroom. With lino it is very easy to clean up. Next you should decide on what type of colour scheme you would like your bathroom to have. Would you like it to match the rest of your house? Or would you like something totally different? Whatever you choose I can guarantee that it will not cost you a fortune.
Finally, you should only remodel your bathroom if you feel that it needs to be done. Never listen to what people say and the ideas that they may have (its your bathroom and your decision). There is a reason why people created an all in one bathroom and toilet, and that was to be more efficient. Don't go spending a fortune on something that is not needed.
I quit smoking about a year ago, and I want to expose some of the things that I've learned about quitting smoking, now that I'm free from cigarettes forever. There's a ton of hype out there surrounding smoking and quitting smoking that I now know is complete BS. My thinking is that if it's BS, I should make other people who want to quit aware of these things as well. The biggest thing to remember is to not but into all of the hype. What do I mean by hype? The hype is provided by all of the people trying to sell you the best way to quit. The hype is all of the information that explains to you how difficult quitting is going to be. All of the information telling you that you need help to quit. I realized, through quitting myself, that this was all BS. I didn't need help to quit and the difficulty was directly proportionate to what I thought about quitting. I realize that that may sound unbelievable, but it's absolutely true. Once I stopped buying into all of the hype about how hard stopping smoking was going to be and changed the way I 'thought' about stopping, the next thing I knew I was a non-smoker. How did I change the way I 'thought' about quitting? I simply began telling myself how easy quitting was going to be. While I was smoking, I would look at the cigarette and say out loud, "I've got this. This is going to be no problem." Within a couple of weeks smoking had become really annoying to me. It was such a chore. Having to go outside, and then after smoking I had that disgusting smell all over me. I was getting really tired of the entire process. Then one day it happened. I looked at my pack and there was 1 cigarette left, and I said, "This is it, I'm done." And I haven't smoked since. No problem, no gum, no patches, no pills, I just stopped. Were there times I wanted a cigarette? Of course, especially in the beginning, but I just didn't have one. I had changed the cycle because I stopped buying into the hype about how difficult quitting was going to be and I changed my thinking. There is no doubt in my mind that everyone reading this article can do exactly what I did.
