How smart home automation systems could make our lives easier

It is projected that about 38.2 million North Americans will have smart home systems by the year 2019.  Today’s automation system is affordable, easy to use and highly convenient, thereby allowing you to control every activity in your home from one streamlined control panel or app. Here are six tested and proven smart echo buying guide that could make our lives easier.

Automated Light Control

The automated light control has the capacity to make your life easier and safer simultaneously. You can schedule to be having light in the evening only when you are around and/ or will have a need for it. If you or any member of your family forgets to turn off your light, you can do so remotely. This will surely save energy costs.

Some of these smart lighting systems come with ambient lighting that changes shades and colors to suit your preferred mood.

Alternatively, you can program your system to turn lights on or off randomly when you are not in town, thereby making it less venerable for break-ins. Leaving lights on timers is one of the most effective and innovative ways of scaring thieves from entering into your house. It gives them the impression that you are at home.

However, if you install standard timers, potential thieves can easily spot when you are not around, so the best remedy is to plug a lamp into a smart switch or lamp module, place it on your wall and pair it very well with your home system so that you can be able to turn lights on and off from any location you are.

In this way, you can control it through the web portal or app. There are different types of smart home systems in the marketplace, thus it is necessary for you to learn about them, so that you can choose the one that perfectly suits your specifications.

Automatic temperature control

Have you ever arrived home in the middle of winter and was greeted with freezing cold or excessive heat during summer vacation? If such is the case, the most effective thing you will need to do is to replace it with programmable thermostat. This will save you some monthly energy costs.

The outdoor automatic temperature understands the humid nature of your home, so it knows when you are at home, and adjusts the temperature of your home accordingly. Some utility companies provide homeowner rebates for people that installed smart thermostat in their homes. This could be one of the awesome ways you can save some money. Thus, you will enjoy the maximum benefits by installing it in your home.

Security cameras with SMS alert

The days are gone when the installer will have to hardwired the home security systems. Today, you can get as many webcams as you wish, and connect it to your home’s Wi-Fi. With this, you can know what is happening in your home through a Smartphone app by either peeking into your home or through SMS notifications the camera will be sent to you occasionally.

Some of these security cameras use lights, while some features night vision, which means they can work not only during daylight hours. Some of them use batteries, and this makes it possible for the cameras to be placed all through your home or outdoor spaces, especially beyond the reach of power coming from electric outlets.

Energy metering

Home automation systems enable you to save about 30% or more costs for energy by optimal regulation of electrical devices, lights, ventilation, air conditioning etc. Monthly payment of electricity bills can be a big worry for a number of homeowners, but such is not the case for those living in a smart home.

You will save some monthly utility bills. For example, if you have a smart home ideas, you will notice that smart lighting system comes with energy efficient bulbs. The beauty of automated controls is that they will turn on and off lights and appliances whenever they are not in use.

Access control via dropped calls

Every smart home comes with access control capacity, and with this, you can take absolute control of the things in your home while you are away. For example, with your Smartphone you can monitor the security; turn on or off your lights with ease.

SMS Controlled System

One of the greatest benefits of home automation system is that it guarantees safety. With the alarming system and digital cameras installed in your home, you can monitor whatever that is happening in your home even when you are not around.

You can watch when someone attempts to enter your home without your due consent. When such happens, you will simply get an SMS almost instantly.

Hair, Skin and Nails Beauty Solution

Did you know that the life cycle of hair is different for each individual strand? Strands have a life span of 2 to 7 years. The cycle is through three phases which are characterized by how far inside the follicle the hair bulb lies: anagen (growth phase, deepest), catagen (transitional, medium), telogen (resting before expulsion, nearest base of scalp). Hair follicles change due to a many factors including age, stress, hormones, nutrition, and pollution.

Because many hair follicle changes are outside of our control, Bergdorf Goodman hair stylist, Lucy Garcia Planck, offers the following recommendations you can take to ensure your best chance of initiating new growth.

Skip super-hot water. This can stress the follicle as well as exacerbate minor skin irritations like psoriasis.

Don’t pull your hair. You unknowingly do this every day. Improper brushing, towel drying (pat dry instead), and ponytail holders are culprits.

Pamper your scalp with vitamins and food to alternative medicine. There is no shortage of ways to do this.

Biotin is the essential B vitamin necessary for ensuring normal hair life cycle functioning. It can be found in a yummy gummy like Vitafusion Gorgeous Hair Skin and Nails.

Onion Juice is packed with antibacterial properties, onion juice wards off germs that cause scalp infection and lead to hair loss.

Coconut milk has rich proteins and essential fats that control hair loss, coconut milk stimulates growth and nourishes tissues and many people swear by the ancient Chinese medicine Acupuncture technique to stimulate follicle regeneration.

“Beautiful hair starts from the inside out! vitafusion Gorgeous Hair, Skin & Nails is my go-to to get essential nutrients for healthy hair everyday,” says Lucy.

A 2004 scientific study found parabens in 18 out of 20 samples of human breast tissue. Parabens are in almost 100% of drugstore skincare products and cosmetics. Finally, only about 10% of the 10,000 chemicals commonly found in personal care products have safety data. Most mainstream skin care products lack essential minerals and vitamins.

Living Pain Free & Glamorous With Dr. Peyman Gravori

Dr. Peyman Gravori, who is an Interventional Pain Management doctor, directs the Pain Management department at ProMedSpine across California.

When some of your favorite celebrities are feeling the pain after long hours on set, or athletes are dealing with body issues after a hard fought game, they turn to Dr. Gravori and his fellow doctors to help them.

It’s A Glam Thing sat down and dug deeper into the life of Dr. Gravori, who even threw a Justin Timberlake reference our way…

NICK NORTHSTAR: Let’s start off with an easy question… What is the definition of “glamorous” to you?

DR. PEYMAN GRAVORI: Being “glamorous” to me is the inner confidence you exude in your every day life. While I believe glamorous is a feeling, it can also be reflected in the clothes you wear on the outside, which is just a continuation and expression of the confidence you have because of those inner feelings.

NN: Why is it important for someone to feel good & be pain free, in order to feel more confident in other aspects of their life?

DPG: Simply put, being without pain clears and frees your mind. When you have no pain, your mind is able to concentrate on those other aspects of life. Being in pain is not just a physical thing, there is a big mental component which limits you from moving forward. Plus, everything just easier in life when you don’t have to deal with any type of pain, unless of course you like pain?!

NN: What makes ProMedSpine here in Hollywood different than other practices?

DPG: What makes ProMedSpine different is our focus on the patient. We refer to our patients as guests. Our philosophy is that we are here to help our guests everyday in anyway we can. We spend time with them to find out what really matters in their lives and then we work hard to make that possible. Some people require injects and/or surgery but most do not. What they do need is a caring soul who can help them improve their health so that they can enjoy their lives. Our doctors go to great lengths to find the most cutting edge technology and procedures and to bring them to our guests. We never stop or slow down. Every human deserves the best quality of life that he/she can have and to live a life they love. We strive to make this possible.

NN: What is the number one compliant or issue most people have when they come in for a consultation?

DPG: Initially, most people come into our offices complaining about neck or lower back pain, but once we sit down and dive deeper into their concerns, we find that most people have difficulties sleeping, exercising or doing simple household chores.

NN: What are the common symptoms one should look or feel for that could be leading towards a major spine/back problem?

DPG: The common symptoms people should be aware of are weakness in their legs, saddle anesthesia (which is a loss of sensation restricted to the area of the buttocks, perineum and inner surfaces of the thighs) and problems with their bladder/urinary tract.

NN: What is your advice to actors, athletes and other Hollywood folks to help them prevent having back issues?

DPG: My advice would be to strengthen your core, maintain a healthy diet, exercise and get plenty of sleep. And for actors who may be standing long hours on set, be sure to wear comfortable shoes, sit-down and take rest breaks. The key is to be mindful and always listen to your body.

NN: You treat a lot of Hollywood celebrities and athletes… do you ever get star struck?

DPG: Never. When I am at work, I am fully committed to helping everyone live a pain free life who walks in the door. Whether someone is “famous” or not doesn’t matter. I see everyone as a patient, as that is what I have been trained to do.

NN: You also walk the Hollywood red carpets… what is your “go-to” outfit away from the typical doctor scrubs?

DPG: As the great Justin Timberlake said in his hit song once, “As long as I’ve got my suit and tie”!

NN: How does it feel to be known as one of the top doctors in your medical fields here in California and what does the future hold for ProMedSpine?

DPG: It is honestly very humbling to hear that as I’ve committed many years to studying and getting to this point. It just feels good to be acknowledged, however, it is not something I ever seek. As for ProMedSpine, our vision is to help as many people as possible lead healthy, pain-free, fully realized lives. At ProMedSpine we do everything we can NOW. We work with our staff and our doctors to take better care of more patients on any given day and any given moment. We aim to communicate with this vision with the highest number of people we can. If we can do this throughout the world, one day, then it would be a dream come true for us.
