If you are paying for electricity where you reside, then this can be even more of a bonus for you. For under $12, you can decrease the amount of electricity you consume, increase the sex appeal of your pad and get a better night’s sleep.
This is how it’s done:
- Scout out your kitchen and count the electric outlets at countertop level and see if you have one in bathroom as well (usually there is an outlet for personal shaving devices). You should have a total of anywhere from 2-6 available outlets.
- Now, go out and purchase nightlights for each of these outlets. It is important that the nightlights of choice design be the nightlights with an on/off switch! These are available at many/most dollar stores and hardware stores. Expect to pay $2 a piece. See below…
Justification for kitchen nightlights: Most parties end up in the kitchen, and soft lighting is much more conducive to a memorable party experience, as well as providing a more intimate atmosphere for making a romantic dinner and wine bibing. ULTERIOR MOTIVE NOTE: Using the nightlights will make your kitchen look a LOT cleaner (provided you give a quick wipe down of the countertop/s) than if you were to have the overhead lights on, illuminating every nook and cranny.
Justification for bathroom nightlights: Personally, I only ever use my overhead lighting when I shave. You will find the warm glow of a nightlight to be enough light for a full and pleasant bathroom experience including showers without having to go through candles every day. Also, running a 7 Watt nightlight is much more cost effective than a pair of 60W bulbs (or 52W if you’re keen). If you have vanity lights there may even be as many as eight 25W bulbs totalling 200 Watts!
In addition, I believe that being in dim lighting for a short time immediately before bed, provides me with better, deeper sleep. I’m sure it has something to do with melatonin production in the brain but you can do that research yourself, if you so desire.
It may take a week or so to get used to flipping the nightlight switches instead of the main light switches but you will find that you will get a lot of value for your buck with these things, even if it allows you to entice a new partner to shower with you, simply because the lightning is so appealing!
Additional Note: Women inherently believe that their bodies look better in candlelight (and warm dim lighting). Little do they know that their bodies are always beautiful. But that’s another topic, which will not save you any money.
