Smudges, Cracks and Streaks: The Woes All Eyeglass Wearers Share

There are plenty of very good reasons why you should wear your glasses if they have been prescribed as necessary, but many people do tend to struggle with them and the practicality issues that can come with them.

It is not just the battle to keep your glasses free from smudges, cracks and streaks; it is also the fact that everyday activities can sometimes take longer simply because you are wearing your glasses.

Maintenance and practicality woes

A trip to the cinema is a great family experience and 3D movies are more popular than ever before, but have you tried those 3D glasses over the top of your regular glasses?

That might seem like a minor irritation but the need to regularly clean your glasses can definitely get a bit tedious at regular intervals throughout the day. What you are wearing can make that task even more difficult, as wiping your glasses with the wrong material such as wool, if you don’t have a cleaning cloth to hand, will make your glasses worse than before you tried to clean them.

Other practical issues that glasses wearers have to contend with include dealing with rain and then there is the need to switch your glasses from indoors to outdoors in order to cope with the changing light.

Perhaps one of the most annoying problems of them all, is the fact that when you lose your glasses, you actually need them to be able to see well enough to find them again.

Alternative solution

Some people might see glasses as a fashion statement these days, but many of those who are making that observation, probably don’t wear glasses for practical rather than aesthetic reasons.

Sites like the Laser Eye Surgery Hub are an understandably popular port of call for many of us who want an alternative to wearing glasses that allow us to get on with our daily lives without so much hassle.

Opting for laser eye surgery or contacts as opposed to wearing glasses is now proving a very popular choice and a much better scenario than simply choosing not to wear your glasses and trying to get away with it.

Help with your vision

Choosing not to wear your glasses, despite having being prescribed as needing help with your vision, is actually storing up some long-term problems and most likely is going to create some short-term difficulties.

If you are not functioning with the clearest level of vision that is possible, you are leaving yourself and others exposed to potential injury as well as creating some potential eye-health issues. Almost all of our reaction ability when we are driving a car, relies on clear sight, so not wearing your glasses or contacts, could put you at a higher risk of causing or having an accident whilst behind the wheel.

If you are one of those people that sometimes forgets to use their glasses in certain situations like driving, you may want to consider something like laser eye surgery as practical alternative.

Traveling in Style

Having many clothes when traveling is not entirely necessary. By picking the right clothes and the ability to mix and match, you will only need a few pieces. Men usually travel light and do not care much about fancy clothes and too many travel accessories while on a trip. Wear dark pants and bright colored shirts or bright pants and dark colored shirts. Because a man cannot always wear T-shirts and polo, a button-down shirt would be a nice alternative. You can wear it anywhere, either with shorts or trousers, and with men’s sneakers or dress shoes. Another piece is a cashmere sweater which is both functional and stylish. Avoid wearing T-shirts with designs because they cannot be paired and used in every occasion.

Bring a pair of jeans that is well-constructed and stylish. It should also fit perfectly and can be worn during casual and/or fancy occasions. If you want to look even more stylish while traveling, accessorize. A pair of sunglasses, like aviators or something that will go well with your face shape can take your outfit from average to suave. Bring a scarf which can be a really fashionable addition to your getup. As for shoes, choose a pair that will suit your shirts, jeans, shorts, and accessories such as sneakers which you can wear anywhere, everyday.

Outfits during the summer are often simple. Many men are satisfied with wearing the usual T-shirts and shorts. However, you can actually make your summer clothes more interesting and thus become more stylish even in very hot weather. Menswear is seeing a resurgence of a fuller, more masculine cut for clothing which is ideal for hot summers. Wear clothes that have a more relaxed fit. Short-sleeve shirts are appropriate and they should finish at mid-bicep and should fit you through the shoulders and chest. Another clothing item that is fashionable is popover shirts which comes in all kinds of colors and patterns and can be worn with shorts and jeans.

Summer is often associated with shorts and swimwear. You do not have to always wear lousy ones but instead try tailored shorts in cotton. As for footwear, sandals and flip flops are definitely the way to go. Wear a pair that is comfortable and of course simple yet fashionable. Wearing socks is a no-no. Keep in mind that during summer, clothes, footwear, and accessories should always be comfortable to wear, colorful, fun, and trendy.

Celebrity style: Diamonds and Beyond

by admin

Jewellery expert Vashi Dominguez holds an exceptional title of “Ring Master” & “Jeweller to the Stars” that makes him the most sought after man in the diamond industry.

Back in 2000, Vashi secured his first diamond deal and started trading diamonds. By 2007, shortly after he expanded his business in Europe, he then opened his website www.Vashi.com to share his business online. Throughout 2012 and 2013 he had been featured in numberous TV segments, Press as well as publications. This year with his expertise and extraordinary collection, he had been styling and dazzling celebrities from the likes of Kara Tointon who was spotted at the Grand Prix Ball wearing 1 million worth of diamonds (July 2014).

In September 2014 celebrities dazzle in Vashi diamonds at Elton John’s annual End of summer party. Also in September, Rita Ora flaunted a glittering couture gown (with over half a million pounds worth of diamonds by her personal London jeweller Vashi) in the GQ Men of the year awards. He is also the name behind celebrities like Paula Lane, Alicia Keys, Isla Fisher, Cheryl Cole and more.

Vashi.com offers a wide range of selection from engagement rings, wedding rings, necklaces, bracelets and even earrings. Through his site, everyone can now avail the most popularized settings and design that is set to make heads turn. Just like the Royal ring by Kate Middleton, the “Diamond and Blue Sapphire Ring” that is valued at £300,000 and can purchased with Vashi’s site for only £999.

Vashi Dominguez is well known to reject 9 out 10 to deliver only the finest of all diamonds basing it from the 4 C’s – carat weight, cut, clarity and color.

Carat Weight – a diamonds size determines its weight from fraction of a carat to several carats. Large stones are considered rare; therefore, a single stone of a two carat diamond will cost way more than two or four stones that make up a two-carat diamond.

Cut – determines a diamonds ability to reflect light pear and glimmer. It’s not about the shape (oval, circle, marquis). The way a diamond had been cut is what determines it sparkle.

Clarity – a diamonds overall appearance involves numerous scratches and blemishes. The lesser the blemishes are, the better the clarity of the stone will be. All of which are unavoidable as it is the result of carbon exposed to tremendous heat and pressure deep within the earth.

Color – the absence of a color is what increases the value of a diamond. The perfect diamond has no hue and as pure as a droplet of water.

With all this in mind, make sure to check out the rest of Vashi’s collection and dress up and get styled just like the stars.
