When it comes to home decorating. There’s really a bunch of materials and pieces that we could choose from with like some glittery center pieces that can give a great seeing to the home and these some raw materials that we could placed in inside the home for the accentual matter like an pot of trees and some fountains accessories that can make the whole house looking specious and comfortable to hang to. Actually, as we talk about home decor, there’s an various or wide range of designing we can pick up depending on your taste and personality. Others like their home to be techno and modern while other prefers it to be more looking raw and old-fashion, whatever could it be one thing is main goal which making the house looking neat and proper.

Though there’s a varied selection of oak stair treads available in the market today. But I think the wood material is never be outdated in trend because wood is classy and it has its own value already as we dig up the history of home designing and decorating. So – why not using wood than those metals that can be easily rusted. Plus, wood can be lasted for decades either millennium as chosen the best type of wood to use like narra, mahogany & etc..

Nowadays, home decors are always into modern concept because that’s what the hot thing and most probably the demand these days when it comes to home decorating and designing. That is why people are quite fascinating to them most especially to these metallic kind of piece work and concepts. However, nothing cant still beats to the classy woody newel posts because it can give accentual appeal to the whole staircase as you uses all types of newel posts together, and I know most of the home designers out there will be on my side now as am telling you here that wood staircase and its posts are still the best to use. Though, it kinda sound like old-fashioned but I think this probably make your home quirky looking as you’d still consider to use the wood stair instead of the metallic and modern ones.

Adding an old piece to you home is actually the best thing to do. Because it can balance up the culture and ambiance inside the home and turn it up into nicely peaceful type of home. Just look into those Japanese inspired type of home where woods are often uses, as a main material of the home. You can see on how raw and beautiful the house is.. because the concept of the nature are perfectly implemeted and used in the proper part of the home, so – it turned out well and amusing to the eye.

The Brief History of the Manbag

by admin

Presented by Ghurka

Ah yes, the Man Bag. It’s funny how something so utilitarian and masculin can be misconstrued as something, how should we say, not so macho. 

 

The truth is men have worn bags for centuries for, both style and utility, proving that hand-bags aren’t just for women. 

 

During the renaissance (before pockets) men wore girdle pouches. Girdle pouches were very handy for transporting things like spices, flowers, and herbs. 

 

The satchel, arguably the manliest of the man bags was used primarily by school children to transport books (think modern day backpack). 

 

The briefcase came into existence during the Industrial Revolution and was used by powerful men to transport important documents, papers, books, and small valuables. 

 

During the World Wars military men fastened bread bags to their belts and used them as an all purpose carrying bag. 

 

The messenger bag has made a strong resurggence. Historically they were used by bike messengers and postal carriers before they evolved into a fashionable item. 

 

So next time friends give you a hard time over that so called “Man Bag” of yours, tell them it’s just the opposite of femininity; it’s historically masculine.

My life is far from perfect but I consider myself lucky because I am able to have access to and enjoy the finer things in life. On top of that is the fact that I have a strong support system whom I can turn to whenever I want some much needed help, and that is my family. Since I am so blessed, I feel that I should at least give back some of the blessings I have received to people who are in need, in any which way I can in my own small way. It does not really matter what the cause is as long as I know I am making a difference in a person’s life.

Having said that, many philanthropists and charitable organizations give their support to women’s and children’s causes because they are considered to be the most vulnerable in society – being the ones who are subjected the most to neglect and abuse. Although some people might think that it is not their obligation to help these people, I strongly feel that it is a part of our social responsibility to at least not turn a blind eye in their plight.

Guinness, one of the most successful beer brands worldwide (brewed in almost 60 countries and is available in over 120), has partnered with Cha Cha Cottage in Singapore through the Arthur Guinness Projects. Cha Cha Cottage is a social enterprise that provides single and needy mothers with home-based cottage industry work such as candle making to help them get back their independence while caring for their families. The video shows three mothers from Cha Cha Cottage who make candles to feed their families. It says in the video that a candle is a giving thing and thousands can be lit from a single candle and yet its life will not be shortened. It represents how even a single person willing to help these ladies can make a difference in their lives.

Guinness has committed to raise $100,000 SGD for these women. You can be a part of this campaign by going over to the Arthur Guinness Project’s Facebook Page. From May 11 to June 21, netizens can offer their pledge towards the cause. Guinness Singapore will donate $100 to Cha Cha Cottage for every click of support you make. To further raise awareness for the group of marginalised women in need of support, a symbolic light-up event will be held on June 21 with 1,000 pledged candles.

Protecting Your Leather Frank Wright Shoes

by admin

Although I am a laidback type of guy who prefers to hang out with my friends in casual clothes and comfortable shoes, I do not limit myself to buying just one type. As a matter of fact, I have a mini collection of shoes that a lot of my friends and relatives are envious of. I also have a few pairs of leather shoes that I give careful attention to because they are quite expensive and I want them to last for a long time. Leather shoes are sensitive to water and chemicals, thus it is prone to damage. There are simple ways however to ensure that your leather shoes are not just well protected but clean as well.

It is advisable to apply a water repellent on your leather shoes before you wear them because water can really do a lot of damage to your shoes. When it comes to polishing, choose a color that is the same with your shoe color or else they will get stained permanently. Also use a cream based polish instead of the liquid one. So as not to affect the quality and texture of the leather, do not go overboard with your polishing. It is a must to use a high quality leather conditioner on your shoes for them to stay shiny.

Another way to protect your leather shoes is to choose the right protectant. Keep in mind that different weatherproofing products serve different purposes. Use a beeswax product instead of a protective spray. Probably the most important tip is to not use your leather shoes during bad weather. With these things in mind, you will definitely be able to use them in a long time.

Shopping for leather shoes is likewise easy when you know where to shop for the best. Established in 1885 in London, Frank Wright Shoes up until this day, sells trendy footwear that combines classic designs with modern styling. They have a wide variety of shoes (leather, suede, Brogues, Razor Sole, and Canvas) and Boots (leather, suede, Work Boot, Chukka/Desert Boots, Razor Sole, Canvas, Chelsea Boots). There is definitely something for everyone.

Among all the shoes available, my favorite is the Frank Wright Fry Black Leather because I can wear it with just about anything. I can pair it with pants/chino pants for that formal look or with shorts for a casual, laidback style. It has a traditional brogue design and fry multi eyelet with lace-up shoe style. This shoe sells at an affordable price and can be worn everyday.
