Vacations are an exciting time for families, but they can also lead to stress and irritation due to long waiting times and distances. It doesn’t matter whether you are traveling by car or by plane; there are numerous things to consider before embarking on your journey. Children of different ages also require specific things to keep them occupied, and although older kids might be easier to entertain, that doesn’t mean they are sometimes less irritable than a toddler. Preparing for your travels is a great way to make sure you have everything you need for a car or plane ride. So take a look at some of the ways you can make this process more comfortable for the whole family.

Road trips

If you’re heading on a long road trip, you might have the element of excitement in the first instance, which can help alleviate the initial stress of traveling. But after the first few hours, this can start to wear off. The beauty of road trips is that you have the choice of pit stops along the way plus you have a bit more room to pack things to keep everyone occupied.

Check out some of the top things to take to beat the boredom:

• Healthy snacks – eating is a great distraction but avoid sugary treats as this will make kids hyper and irritable on a long journey.
• Books and DVDs – if you have access to a portable DVD player, this is great for keeping kids entertained. If this isn’t possible, a book might do the trick too.
• Sit with the children – if you are able to, at some point on the journey get in the backseat with the kids. This can make them feel at ease, plus you can interact with them more easily.
• Choose toys wisely – toys are excellent for road trips but choosing ones that don’t distract the driver is helpful for a stress-free drive.

Plane rides

If you’re jetting off to sunny climes and have researched where you’re heading to, you’ll be set to head off to the airport on your travels. Compared to road trips, flying can be more stressful as you are stuck in an airport and on a plane for hours without much room to maneuver. With this in mind, children can become stressed and more irritable as the hour’s pass, so take a look at some of the ways to calm them down.

If you have babies or young tots, keep wipes and diapers to hand in case of emergencies.
Take toys onboard – You may have some room for a few small toys in your hand luggage but be sure to avoid noisy ones for the sake of other passengers.
Walk around – you may not have much room but once the seatbelt sign is lifted, have a wander to release some energy.
Use a comforter – Some kids love blankets and comforters to help them relax and sleep, so have one to hand to help them drift off.

Accommodation

Finding the right accommodation can be a turbulent task when you have children. You may worry about staying in a hotel, where your kids could be too noisy, or perhaps you’d feel safer and happier in a private place. If the latter sounds good to you, then you can look for private and secure accommodation options by checking out vacation rental beach guides.

Traveling with kids doesn’t have to be challenging, and preparing in advance will give you a great start to your vacation. Take your time and see all options available to you before settling on your destination, and most importantly, ensure your kids are comfortable so you and your partner can also relax.

They say that Filipinos are very particular when it comes to personal hygiene and cleanliness. In fact, we make it a point to clean our homes every day. In my house, for example, it's not enough to just sweep the floor with a broom. The floor should be mopped with a cleaning solution as well.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Traditional Mops

When I attended the inauguration of the ELS Clean Tech Corporation and Electrolux Warehouse last week, I discovered that this cleaning method may not be as hygienic as I thought it would be.

Of course, it's less expensive and easy to use BUT it has many disadvantages:

• Poor ergonomics
• Environmental hazard because of cleaning solutions
• Poor cleaning result
• Difficult to clean mop head
• Spreads dirt around

Who Needs The ELS Clean Tech Concept Mop System

The concept is actually targeted at clients with large establishments such as hospitals and health establishments, food establishments, factories, offices, schools, hotels and resorts, and other public places.


If you're interested in getting their mop system, you may visit and message the ELS Clean Tech Facebook page at https://web.facebook.com/elscleantech/.

When young global smartphone brand Vivo entered the mobile industry, the market was dominated by two or three names. But in a matter of years, Vivo changed the game.

Vivo has been determined to break barriers and introduce technology that ushered the industry into the future. After all, it was Vivo that introduced a 20-megapixel dual front camera in V5 Plus and a 24MP front camera in V7, V7+, and V9

The V5 is the first smartphone with a 20MP camera.

Aside from the selfie camera, Vivo also paid attention to the users’ need for a bigger screen. Earlier this year, Vivo released the ultimate iteration of a concept smartphone, the APEX™ FullView™, which nearly has a 100% screen-to-body display. The V9, Vivo’s newest flagship, is getting closer to goal with its 90% screen-to-body ratio.

Vivo is also the first to introduce the in-display fingerprint scanner that gives users another method to unlock their smartphones.



It is still a wonder what Vivo will do next. For instance, it wowed the tech world with its bezel-less APEX concept smartphone because of its pop-up selfie camera to achieve the 100% screen-to-body ratio.

Helping the brand unlock the next best thing in the mobile industry are 2,200 dedicated research and development personnel in several R&D centers worldwide—in San Diego, United States and in China, specifically in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Beijing.

With all its development, it is no doubt that the young smartphone brand is already leading the pack to the future.
