Showers can be hit or miss; the right shower can be an amazing and invigorating experience, and the wrong shower can be a frustrating nuisance. Too little pressure makes it feel like nothing is getting cleaned, while too much pressure can feel like you have piles of needles on your back. The folks behind Nebia are looking to change the way you shower.

According to Nebia’s website, “Nebia is unlike any shower you’ve ever experienced. Our H2MICRO™ technology atomizes water into millions of droplets to create 10 times more surface area than a regular shower. More water comes in contact with your body leaving your skin feeling clean and hydrated.”

Nebia combines the best of both worlds, fusing together the experiences of taking a shower and sitting in a steam room. You’ll feel fresh, clean, and ready to start the day. In addition, Nebia provides 70 percent in water savings. “Nebia leverages advances in design and thermofluids to create a better shower experience that actually saves you thousands of gallons of water a year,” reads the Nebia website. “With those savings, Nebia pays for itself in about a year.” What does that mean? That means approximately $226.62 saved each year, along with 183,960 glasses of water. Drought-plagued areas like California can benefit from the use of the Nebia.

On top of all that, it’s one of the most well-designed showerheads that we’ve seen in ages. What’s not to love about the Nebia? Showering as you know it will never be the same again.

9 top tips so you can get better sleep every night

Incorporate some or all of these tips and get more z's

Man sleeping

By now, you're well aware of the importance of sleep and that you need to know how to get better sleep whenever you can. It sits high atop a physiological throne, commanding just about everything. If you don't get enough of it, there's a serious trickle-down effect. Suddenly, you're not thinking straight, you're lacking energy, and your biological clock is off -- you're not you. And that's not fair to your health and the health of those around you.

Alarmingly, the CDC estimates that one out of three adults is lacking significantly in the sleep department. Worse, that figure was dropped before the pandemic, back in 2016. Surely, that percentage has only risen. We've found creative ways to cope with the new normal, but what we really need are lasting patterns that will ensure a good night's sleep. Try some or all of the sleep tips below as you pursue your worthy quest of catching more z's.

They don't make 'em like they used to. Older generations often harp on the inadequacies of modern filmmaking, from an overreliance on special effects to Hollywood's capitalist-driven quest to make seven sequels to every original movie. Whatever the reasoning is for hating 21st-century cinema, people who prefer old pictures have plenty of options when they tune in to streaming services like Netflix.

With a rotating selection of films that changes monthly, subscribers should always look for what's leaving and what's entering the service when logging into Netflix. For folks more interested in the glory of the 20th century, we have plenty of pre-2000 movies to pick from right here!

You can now stream the original Shōgun miniseries — here’s how

You can now stream the original Shōgun from the '80s!

After making a tremendous debut earlier this year, FX and Hulu's Shōgun is easily one of the top TV series of 2024. In addition to being critically acclaimed, Shōgun is such a massive hit that FX is already planning additional seasons to what was originally a standalone adaptation of James Clavell's 1975 novel. It was also one of Hulu's most-streamed series of the year, so it's understandable why FX wants to keep the show going.

This isn't the first time that Shōgun has taken audiences by storm. The original TV adaptation of Shōgun from 1980 was widely considered one of the greatest miniseries ever made. It also had the distinction of being the first and only U.S. production to be filmed entirely in Japan. At the time the new Shōgun premiered earlier this year, the original miniseries wasn't available to stream. But thanks to the new adaptation, fans can now find the 1980 incarnation of Shōgun on one of the major streaming services.
