Recently, I decided that it was time to upgrade the Shower Head in my bathroom. It has been more than a decade since the last time I bought a shower head. In that time where food technology has brought about incredible amount of variety to the cereal aisle in the grocery store, “Shower-ologists” were busier than ever developing and bringing to market a whole slew of offerings. From jets, to... read more

cookout
