Reese Witherspoon buys a third property in gated Brentwood Circle, Los Angeles

Actress Reese Witherspoon, who had earlier listed her Ojai ranch on the market, has recently purchased her 3rd property in the gated Brentwood community circle. The actress is known to have plenty of demands with respect to privacy, and hence this $3 million home will actually form a part of the massive luxurious estate she intends on making eventually. Spreading over 3,053 sq ft, this mansion is known to have 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, which would more than satisfy a family of 4, but Witherspoon is perhaps now looking for more privacy than before. She had earlier bought one of the neighboring properties for $3.325 million, and then razed the mansion on it to incorporate it as a part of her grand plans for her estate. Before that, during her marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe, she paid $4.72 million for another neighboring 7,000 sq ft property, which will now be a 3rd of the total grand estate.

Abu Dhabi Airport installs world’s first GoSleep sleeping pods for travelers

With the jet-set lifestyle of most executives and other intercontinental travelers, the foremost luxury then is the much needed sleep. Since one’s schedules and engagements can not be changed, short power naps can be helpful to emerge rejuvenated and refreshed for busy times ahead. For this reason, the idea of sleeping pods came into being, and they seemed to turn rather tech-loaded for the demands of these discerning travelers. The Podtime sleeping pod and the Alberto Frias sleeping pod are the manifestations of these special demands. One place where one can now think of taking power-naps in such luxurious settings at a public space, is the Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) where there are have been 10 such GoSleep sleeping pods already installed in Terminal 1 and 3, and 35 are to arrive by next year. Being one of the busiest airports in the Middle East, AUH needed such facilities for their premises where some travelers are flying across diverse geographical zones. Not just this, but by next year, one would see upgraded facilities of wi-fi internet, and charging slots for most personal devices in these GoSleep sleeping pods. Currently they are on hire for $12.12 (£8) to the hour.
