From relieving an aching body to an alarm clock you’ll actually love to wake up to, these home decor options are sure to ease some common ailments.

Body-tensing commutes and endless hours hunched in front of a computer can really take it’s toll on our bodies. Can you imagine what it would be like to get a full body massage every day? I’ll pause for a moment so you can let that idea sink in.

Oh, I can picture it and I have, many times. It’s one of my “If I won the lottery, I’d…” fantasies. Daily massages, how unrealistic! I didn’t win the lottery, but one of my dreams has come true. Massage chairs have gotten stylish! Until recently, massage chairs haven’t exactly been known for their beauty. Awkward, beastly sizes and limited color choices are now a thing of the past!

If traditional is more your style (or if your loyalty lies with your La-Z-Boy) consider the The Human Touch. It looks, acts and feels just like a high-end leather recliner would until you flip the foot rest around and have a seat in this amazing, life changing, reclining masterpiece. Whatever your preference, there is a massage chair that out there that will fit your personal style and ease your aches and pains.  With the Holidays just around the corner, I can’t think of a better gift. (Hint Hint!) See even more styles of our favorite massage chairs!

If you suffer from knee problems or back pain, or if you’re on a first name basis with everyone at the podiatrist’s office, maybe it’s time to consider installing cork floors in your home. Although it feels solid underfoot, cork flooring is composed of cells that trap air and it’s flexibility absorbs the impact of each footstep.  This greatly reduces the shock that would otherwise be transferred to your aching joints.  Walking on cork flooring will put a spring in your step, literally.

When many people hear “cork floors”, they immediately visualize a floor made out of wine corks and push-pin bulletin boards. The only pins these Globus Cork floors will ever see will be all of our pins on Pinterest!

It’s that time of year again, Daylight Savings Time. Waking up before the sun rises goes against our nature! Sunrise and Dawn alarm clocks are proven to help to maintain proper circadian rhythms and adjust sleep phase disorders. They can also be used as light therapy treatment for help with Seasonal Affected Disorder.
