So, you've finally finished your highly anticipated kitchen remodel (with a fancy new island, of course) and realized you have some leftover countertop material lying around. These leftover pieces — remnants — are pretty common, actually. Countertop slabs come in standard sizes, so if your kitchen isn't a perfect fit, there'll be some extra bits. It's also easy to overestimate how much material you'll need, especially if it's your first time planning.

Did someone say free sample? Sometimes, it's hard to turn down complementary goodies (especially when you can enjoy the sweet scents without purchasing the entire product). In the midst of e-commerce dominance, about 87% of consumers still prefer in-store shopping for their cosmetics, according to survey published by Statista. From perfume testers to sample lotion bottles, there's nothing like trying out the freebies in malls and department stores.

Feeling cramped in your old corner shower? You're not the only one. Walk-in showers are all the rage these days, and it's easy to see why. According to Phoenix Home Remodeling, open-concept showers and custom designs redefine the showering experience, making bathrooms feel way more spacious, relaxing, and modern. If you're dreaming of a sleek, trendy new look for your bathroom, you don't have to break the bank to give your shower a serious upgrade.
