Little Luxuries

Perhaps you don’t have room for a sauna in your bathroom space or a cold plunge for that matter, that doesn’t mean you cannot have a taste of luxury in the bath. Here are my top 3 picks that are sure to enhance your bathroom experience and they won’t break the bank either!

Try A Filtered Showerhead

Filtered isn’t just for the water we drink – it’s also for the water we rinse our entire bodies in. I love the Kohler Cinq showerhead (suggested list for chrome $200, filter sold separately). Not only does it feature Kohler’s Katalyst air-induction technology, but it also reduces chlorine and heavy metals from the water leaving your skin less irritated and helps my colored hair keep its shine! It’s available in a variety of finishes, a square or more round design depending on your style and is basically the same price as any other mid-tier showerhead, but it does so much more! It’s offered in a 1.75 and 2.5 GPM format depending on where you live. The filter is sold separately for around $40, and you should expect to change it approx. every 6 months for optimal performance. An easy upgrade, check it off your list!

Heated Seats

It’s kind of like your car, but not. Some folks love a washlet for all the cleaning capabilities, (I mean I appreciate those too) but I love a washlet for the warm seat! Probably oversharing, but that feature alone has me hooked, and not just me, my kiddos and my husband. And there are so many to choose from to suit your needs and price points, like seriously. Editors at CNN did their research this past July and favored the Toto Washlet C2 as their Best in Class, but there are so many others out there to choose from. And if you cannot get the electrical outlet behind the bidet seat, don’t worry, there are non-electric models available as well. I am convinced once you try it, you will not want to go back to a regular toilet seat!

Mirror Mirror on the Wall I Suggest Anti Fog for All         

Is nothing more annoying than having stepped out of a steamy shower only to realize it’s going to be another 5+ minutes before you an see yourself in the mirror, even with great ventilation because the mirror is all fogged up? Upgrade that basic mirror for one with Anit-Fog technology. Not only will you tackle your grooming needs much quicker, but these mirrors also provide an additional touch of style and flair to your bathroom space. Most anti fog mirrors incorporate LED lighting which not only lasts longer (upwards of 50,000 hours, that’s 17 years if you left on for 8 hours a day and over 45 years if left on for 3 hours a day) BUT the light the LED gives is actually much more flattering (#winning) **And if you don’t like some of the options that already existing for anti-fog, you can install a mat behind your preferred mirror with defogging technology from vendors like Warmly Yours.
