Simple Human - Wall Mount Grocery Bag Dispenser



I have been looking around for a grocery bag dispenser that looks deliciously good, and is both sturdy and lasting. Finally, I decided on the Wall Mount Grocery Bag Dispenser from simplehuman since it seem to fit these  criteria. 


The Product
The Wall Mount Grocery Bag Dispenser arrived in a thick cardboard box and is bubble wrapped. Once out of the bubble wrap, the dispenser feels heavy, solid and it is evident that the product is designed with a premium finish in mind.



Product Installation
The installation process is very straight forward since you can opt to mount it using the screws provided or with the thick double sided pre-mounted masking tapes. As we are using it on one of our cabinet doors, we skipped the screws as they will protrude out from the other side of the cabinet door when used. However, Mr Diva decided to add on more double sided masking tapes to make it more secure. 



Usage
It is really tempting to just stuff the plastic grocery bags right after the installation is complete. In fact, Mr Diva is sooo carried away and the outcome looks....really messy.  -_-""

Hence I decided to step in and do something about it.


These bags have to be neatly folded before they are stuffed inside the bag dispenser. In case you are wondering how this can be achieve, the step by step technique is detailed above.


Aside from being neat, the advantage of having the grocery bags folded into little adorable triangles is that you are able to gauge the size of the bag more accurately! :)


Although the specifications state that the dispenser can accommodate up to 30-40 grocery bags, I was able to achieve 50% more room with this simple technique! See?!


My Verdict
This is yet another winning product from simplehuman. Not only does the Wall Mount Grocery Bag Dispenser looks sleek and good, it functions pretty well too without burning a big hole in your pocket.

Not convinced? Just take a look at the positive reviews from the other customers.

City Gas Go Green Go City Roadshow 2013 – Heaters, Dryers, Hobs & Hoods On Sale


City Gas is holding their annual roadshow at Toa Payoh HDB Hub Atrium this Wednesday till Friday, 20th September. City Gas will be showcasing their range of gas water heaters, clothes dryer and various hobs and hoods.
Check out their Facebook page on the pros and cons of using a gas water heater. Here’s City Gas quote on gas water heater benefits:
Our gas water heaters are more energy efficient, as 1 heater is all you need to supply to multiple outlets and it only consumes energy for heating when hot water is required – giving you on-demand, continuous hot water at your preferred temperature. Based on a study done by Dr Lee Siew Eang from NUS, the gas water heater saves up to 80% in your utility bills in water heating, and also emits 63% less carbon than an electric storage water heater, making it a green and eco-friendly product. On top of that, our gas water heaters are safe and reliable, as there are built-in safety features to guard against overheating, flame failure and incomplete combustion. We have more details on the advantages of using gas water heaters on our website.”

home & giving

I came across home & giving - a home furniture, arts and lighting shop located at The Star Vista while I was on my way to collect the moon cakes.



What attracted me into the shop was the fascinating assortment of unusual furniture. Case in point - this shiny wooden side table, which is crystallised in sparkling mineral, is definitely a sure conversation starter!





In fact, I noticed that the store specialised mainly in furniture that is made up of nature elements such as wood, slate and stone. 

Mr Koh, the store owner explained that this range of cutlery, which is made of slate, is extremely popular with high-end Japanese restaurants.  If you recall, such dense, fine grained metamorphic rock is also popular as kitchen counter tops too!  




In additional, it is extremely rare to find table-tops made of a complete piece of wood - without any joint lines or whatsoever! Hence, these are pretty expensive.


Lastly, I wish to thank Mr Koh for allowing me to take photos of his beautiful shop, and also patiently answered all my questions!

  
 If you are visiting The Star Vista, be sure to drop by this place!
I am sure that you will not be disappointed! :)
