By default, humans are programmed to assume something is safe if it fulfills all or one of the following conditions (of course not limited to):
- it is widely accepted by mass audience
- product has been in the market for a long time
- it is a hassle to change
Would you agree? If you do find yourself in the above situation(s), it is seriously time to pause and rethink.
Our home – besides being a place of comfort, should also be a safe haven for its occupants. A large part of our day is spent at home, if not at work or out for social purposes. We perform routine or habitual tasks in this comfort zone of ours, and of course one such event would involve bath time. Albeit it may be an event that some may perceive as insignificant and tend to overlook, it does not come as a surprise that during which, we may become oblivious of our surrounding since it is part of our everyday.
Picture this: Each day, we look forward to heading home for a shower (whether it is a quick one, or a long and pampering session) after spending an entire day out in the sweltering heat of our humid Singapore weather, before crashing into our beds which marks the end of another tiring and stressful working day.
