House plants are a great addition to homes. Not only do they add a bit of character and comfort but are essential in helping to cleanse the air in your home. Also with the cool months here and our spending more time indoors, it will do you a world of good to expose yourself to some extra greenery. They won’t expect much in terms of care and maintenance and will never talk back. A match made in heaven.

The end of the year sparks a time to reflect on what we’re thankful for and look ahead and make changes in our lives that will result in better living and a more positive life.

The end of 2012 is nigh and all in all I’d say it’s been a pretty top year at eSpares. I felt like compiling my favourite how to videos in the eSpares catalogue thus far for no other reason than I want to.

There is no method behind the madness here. Simply put, I like these videos best and equally for different reasons.

End of The World as We Know It

January 1, 2013 | Money Saving Tips & Tricks | No comments

Whilst everyone has been worried about finding the right presents for loved ones or shedding a few extra lbs before the holidays I’ve been somewhat more pre-occupied with how I’m going to celebrate when the end of the world doesn’t happen.

Nibiru a Sumerian discovered planet is travelling full speed ahead on a collision course towards the earth and due to strike December 21, 2012. It was also due to strike back in May of 2003 but when nothing happened the date got pushed forward.

A lot of us work hard ahead of the holidays (and in general) to get into good shape, only for it to be undone by over eating and drinking come Christmas. Well, I think it’s time to forget the ‘I’ll sort it in the New Year’ resolution shenanigans and instead continue with a healthy regime, over (gasp) Christmas.

New Multimeter How To Videos

November 7, 2012 | DIY & Home Improvement | 2 comments

The film crew at eSpares has been busy filming some how to videos featuring a rather handy device called a multimeter. Basically, mulitimeters can test for potential faults (that are not otherwise visible with the naked eye) within the components of appliances. This helps determine what needs to be replaced/ fixed. They’re inexpensive, fairly easy to use and don’t look half bad either.
