Whether you’re considering buying cotton embroidered hand towels, boudoir pillow cases, or Victorian pajamas, if you decide to purchase custom items made of cotton, you will not be disappointed. Here are some of the many benefits of cotton clothing and linens.
You won’t have to wash it as much as other material
Not having to wash cotton material as much as other linens speaks for itself — what a plus! Since cotton is so breathable and doesn’t retain dirt and debris like oil-based fabrics, you can save plenty of trips to the wash. You’ll also save money and water by not doing all that extra laundry, too.
Cotton is great for moisture control
Because cotton is so transmittable, moisture is able to be lifted from the body and absorbed into the fabric. Cotton towels are great for drying off because it can take up to one-fifth of is weight in water before feeling even wet at all.
Cotton is extremely durable and strong
A tough material, cotton doesn’t have to be only used for nighttime wear or drying off. Cotton can get really dirty and still work great for an extended period of time. Cotton has a high tensile strength, making it much less likely to rip or tear if anything is harming or stretching it. It’s also 30% stronger when wet.
Cotton household articles will make your home look great
Having custom cotton embroidered hand towels in your bathroom and kitchen will help accentuate your home and give it a high quality look. Roughly 20% of Americans actually feel happy with their home decor, and cotton items can certainly help. Don’t forget about stocking your home with other cotton products so people can actually see and enjoy when they stop by.
Cotton almost never smells bad
You can be wrapped in cotton material when you’re sitting at a campfire, cooking a smelly dinner, and even when you’re working out, and you still won’t smell afterwards. Cotton releases all those unwanted odors and and will feel and smell completely fresh after you wash the material.
If you want to learn more about the benefits of this great material or find any cotton embroidered hand towels or white cotton pajamas, contact Jarcanda Living today.
A Home Spa – Incentive to Stick to Those Resolutions
The big new year’s celebration is over, and for some those resolutions have already been forgotten, but for many a resolution to get healthier is a very real, and very attainable goal. If you’ve vowed to run more, walk regularly or renew that gym membership and really use it, read on! Consider creating a home spa to relax and rejuvenate after your workout. It’s a definite motivator, and It’s easy with these 4 simple steps!
Create a home spa you’ll look forward to coming home to
Spa Scents Made Easy
From aromatherapy candles, to essential oils and room sprays, the scent of a spa is an immediate signal to your brain that its time to relax and revitalize. ScratchMommy recommends the following to ease you into a relaxed state of mind:
Jasmine, rose, chamomile, or ylang-ylang for frustrations with loved ones
Citrus, lavender, sandalwood or sage if dark days have you feeling down.
Oregano, peppermint, eucalyptus, pine or rosemary can help with a stuffy head
Scented candles bring a relaxing glow
ScratchMommy also has a great candle recipe using beeswax or soy to create a soothing scent to turn your bath into a sweet space to rediscover your sanity.
Music to Relax and Inspire
Relaxing in a warm bath with soft music in the background is a great way to end a busy day, or soak away tightness in tired muscles. Kohler has some great tips for adding music to your bathroom to help create that spa environment. The Moxie Showerhead and wireless speaker is an easy addition to make your favorite music a part of your Home Spa. The speaker just pops into the showerhead, and is interchangeable so each family member can have their own.
Or if you’re into a bit more immersive experience, consider the VibrAcoustic Hydrotherapy system which works with your smartphone, tablet or MP3 player to send vibrations pulsing above and below the waterline!
Look for appropriate spa music on iTunes, Pandora, or even your Amazon Echo Dot and you’ll be ready to sit back and relax.
Fluffy Towels, Robes, and Slippers Complete the Sensory Experience of a Home Spa

How to Start an Interior Design Dream Book
When it comes to interior design, we know doing it yourself can take time. Whether you’ve purchased a fixer upper, have an apartment that needs refreshing, or you want to give your new home a personal touch, its a process for some and a hobby for others. To get started, set up an online file of websites, images, and ideas that inspire. Not sure of your style? Consider taking an online quiz on decorating like the decorating style quizoffered at Houzz.com. Once you know what style you’re most attracted to, start visiting blogs, decorating sites, Houzz.com, and some of those listed above to find items and looks you’d love to include in your newly designed home.
Not sure how to start? Take a look around your home. Select one or two items that you really love or feel drawn to; maybe a beautiful antique vase from a relative, or a child’s drawing that holds special memories, and don’t overlook that collection of seaglass from a favorite vacation. Whatever it is, use that as your inspiration, for color, for mood, for style. Then build your palette around that item. You may find the rooms design themselves once you’ve found the right piece that really speaks to you.
Pillowcases inspired by a summer vacation or a dream destination

The Important Thing in Decorating Is to Get Started
Dreaming about a beautiful home is nice, but actually having that home is even better. Don’t put off having the house or apartment of your dreams, but don’t feel bad about starting small. For most of us, taking that first step is the important part. If budget is tight, take one room at a time. Select one or two items for inspiration and design around those. One beautiful change can make such a difference. A new shower curtain in the bath can brighten up the room and get you thinking about the next step. Fresh cotton sheets on a bed can give you a better night’s sleep and maybe get you thinking about a bold new paint color or moving some furniture around to free up some space.
Create an idea book today and get started on redecorating your home. It’s invigorating, and fun. We’re happy that we’ve been a part of so many people’s dreams on Houzz.com. Hope to see you there!
