Romancing by the Fire
For this Valentine’s Day I came up with a great idea. Instead of going somewhere and
paying quite a lot for that, I decided to celebrate my
wife and our love by spending a romantic evening in our
home. It was quite out of the blue that I found out about
this idea. For my birthday, I got a gift card to a spa
where I got a hot stone massage. Upon going there, I
was very doubtful and thought it was a very womanly
thing to do. After lying on the massage table for 10
minutes, I was more than pleased and relaxed. I usually
go to sports massage every week and it can get quite rough, but here the muscles are
massaged very gently and, moreover, they are first warmed with hot stones. On the
table, enjoying the relaxed feeling, I thought this hot stone massage would be an
amazing thing to do with my wife.
The following day I went online, ordered a hot stone massage kit and started planning
the Valentine’s Day. I decided that it would be the best to do the massage and eat the
dinner in front of our fireplace. It is actually funny that no matter what event our
fireplace turns almost always as the best place to celebrate the event. And the
fireplace
has been around for already a decade. We got so lucky with the fireplace; being
engineered and produced in Finland, our Uunisepät fireplace has never caused us any
gray hair. We have to thank our friends, though, for telling us about Uunisepät for
they got a fireplace from Uunisepät, too. So, this Valentine’s Day I am going to
arrange a dinner and a hot stone massage in front of the fireplace for my wife. Other
things that I have to take into account also the cooking part, a good bottle of wine
and the music.
No matter how much work there is, and it might even feel like there is not enough time,
never take time away from spending time with your loved ones. Set your priorities right.

2. Creating an Atmosphere
Hum ans are ve ry re cep tive to at osphe re and one can s traigh t away sense, usually
m
subconscious l whe the r the p lace is attrac tive o r not. Home is a p lace that shou l
y, d
always fee l attrac tive to its owne rs, bu t unfo rtunate l too fe w o f us re ally pay
y,
atten tion to th is. The re are quite a fe w ways to m ake you r home attrac tive and the
bes t th ing is to choose the righ t ones pe rsonally fo r you and you r fam il
y.
I have no ticed that a war house is always cozy and attrac tive. Howeve r, do no t go
m
ove rboard and m ake it too ho t to the poin t that eve ryone s tarts sweating – it is no t
supposed to be a sauna! Make su re all you r windows are seal we ll in o rde r to avoid
ed
any le akages that wou l m ake the house co l r and the e l
d de ectricity bill highe r. An
item that creates needed war th and he l you cu t the ene rgy bill is a fi rep lace.
m ps
Howeve r,
m ake su re it has been enginee red we ll, like the fi rep laces at Uunisep ä t. We go t ou r
firep lace fo r the Finnish firep lace com pany called Uunisep ä t and have been ab l to
m e
save up to 30% in e l
ectricity cos ts. A firep lace is also a great mood creato r and you
can always cudd l up next to it with a good book and a g lass o f wine.
e
Eve ryone shou l de finite ly pay atten tion to ligh ting. Ligh ting is u tte rly im portan t
d
when se tting the mood fo r diffe ren t th ings. In you r office o r wo rkspace the ligh ts
shou l be b righ t and positioned in a way that the y shine on you r desk. In bed room ,
d
howeve r, the ligh ts shou l be a bit dim and possib ly even o f peach co lo r to so ften the
d
at osphe r In bath room s it is also ad vised to use war tones if you ge t co l easil
m e. m d y.
All in all, rem em be r to pay atten tion to you r su rroundings and especially you r home. I
woke up to the re ali ty fe w ye ars ago and find m y home to be m y sanctuary nowadays.
Thanks to ou r firep lace from Uunisep ä t, ad j ted ligh ting sys tem and +23 degrees, m y
us
fam ily and I can com e home afte r a long day at wo rk o r schoo l and jus t re lax.
Fireplaces in Homes
Everyone has probably seen tens of different options of fireplaces, at least in the
movies. The shapes, the colors and the designs vary greatly but usually the fireplaces
look like they are from the same mold. Why is that? And if you want an up-to-date
fireplace, where to look for it?
I have been in the fireplace jungle for a few years now, ever since I got the fireplace
frenzy and firmly decided upon having a fireplace in my home. I have visited more than

3. a dozen o f firep lace s to res live and m any mor virtu ally on line. Many com panies offe r
e
trad itional b rick firep laces bu t I wan ted some thing special and neve r se ttled fo r the
trad itional. Also, one shou l always pay atten tion to the enginee ring o f a firep lace ,
d
because a firep lace is no t me r ly an eye candy, it is also a heate r. Afte r a fe w
e
months’ o f research, I s tum b l upon a Finnish fi rep lace com pany called Uunisep ä t. On
ed
the ir website I found incredib l fi rep lace designs: shiny s l b lack, white s tone with a
e eek
p lace fo r the logs and m any mor I was th ri lled , because finally the re was a chance
e.
fo r me to find a firep lace o f m y liking. Howeve r, then I go t scared ; m aybe the y we re
jus t abou t design and no t abou t enginee ring. A week afte r m y finding, I wen t to their
s to re . Lucky fo r me, Uunisep ä t had one o f the bes t enginee ring that the re is in the
indus try. I had a long discussion with them abou t the enginee ring and heat rese rving
firep laces ve rsus deco rative firep laces. The s taff at Uunisep ä t was greatly he l fu l
p
and in abou t two months
I was sitting in m y ar chair in m y living room in fron t o f m y ve ry own fi rep lace called
m
Galaxy.
Looking back I am truly happy to have been so picky about my fireplace. I went out
there and found out about all the options that I had. A fireplace is an investment and
you should not take it lightly and just get any fireplace on the market. A good
fireplace will last you decades and decades and won’t cause you gray hair. So put
your time into finding the right fireplace and you will be more than pleased.
Engineering Where It Matters
I am the kind of person that pays attention to little things and I never want to pay for
something that is not worth every penny it costs. The things that I find to be worth the
money are the things that are dependent on engineering and materials. This includes
things such as cars, electronics and fireplaces.
Everyone knows how a well-engineered car behaves in contrast to a normal Korean
car – no offence. Cars, such as Bugatti and McLaren, are engineered to the pin and
they perform as a charm. But then of course, the price of those super cars is beyond
anything we normal immortals could ever even imagine paying. Never mind the up
keeping costs…
Engineering matters also in electronics. If you buy a smart phone at some market
place in China, it won’t last you for years and it sure doesn’t have any guarantee.
Also, the parts used in the phone are of those cheap ones so do not rely on it to work
for long. On the other hand, smart phone brands that have made a name on their
products and are steadily selling are usually the ones that are well engineered and,

coun t on the guaran tee.
Howeve r, su rp risingly enginee ring coun ts also in fi rep laces. Firep laces in which
enginee ring the re was some though t pu t in to are usually no t only heating bu t also
heat rese rving and give away heat s te adily fo r hou rs. This is some thing that I le arned
when I bough t m y firep lace from Uunisep ä t.
Uunisep ä t is a Finnish firep lace com pany that pu ts a lo t o f e ffo rt in to enginee ring. It
re ally does m atte r whe the r the fi rep lace is rese rving heat o r no t and afte r having m y
firep lace from Uunisep ä t, I have no ticed that it re ally does save me money. If it is doing
it p rope rl then you save quite a lo t in heating cos ts and you don’t have to wo rry
y,
abou t any dange rous fum es o r sm oke.
I have been looking in to enginee ring and its bene fit-cos t ratio and I have to say that
m any o f the th ings that are we ll enginee red and are o f quality mat rials are
e
de finite ly wo rth eve ry penny.
