Once booked, you will receive an email and an sms on your mobile phone which could be displayed when boarding the bus. Sound convenient?

Seat Selection

Pay extra attention when choosing your bus seat. If you suffer from motion sickness, it is advisable to opt for middle or rear seats. On the other single female travelers should prefer the front rows for their personal safety. To minimize the risk of accidents, it is advisable to sit on the left side on the bus. (i.e. not on the driver side)

Baggage

You do need to be extra careful about your baggage. If you are on a short trip, travelling light would be the best option. Opt for backpacks or duffel bags that could be accommodated in the luggage shelf above the seat. In case of heavy luggage, it needs to be stowed away in the luggage compartment so securing it would be of utmost importance. Also, keep an eye on it at each and every stop the bus makes.

Food and Refreshments

Make sure you keep some refreshments and water handy at all times. You never know when the next stop would be or in case of a bus breakdown you could be left stranded for hours. Ideally, you could go for dry fruits, salted snacks, fruits and biscuits which have a longer shelf life too. Avoid eating oily food when on the move.

Carry clean and fresh water to stay hydrated at all times – a couple of bottles on the safe side as you never know whether the next refreshment stall would be selling your preferred or good quality brand of water.

Toiletries

Well, your toilet kit should be kept handy. Do include tissue paper, toilet paper, antiseptic creams and some oral medication to tackle acidity attacks, motion sickness and other minor ailments that could face.

Well, try to play safe by carrying minimal cash and valuables. Wear minimal jewellery or avoid wearing them totally, you will feel much relaxed this way.
On the overall, long distance bus journeys are interesting enough provided you are well braced for them. For company you could strike up conversations with fellow travelers, those with families are a safe bet or simply enjoy the changing landscape as the bus travels further on its route.

Celebrity style: Diamonds and Beyond

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.

Nowadays, there is no excuse not to wear stylish clothes because of the abundance of online stores. You can shop anytime you like at your convenience. Even some men are into fashion and always follow the latest trends. This fall season floral printed shirts are still trendy. Think of it as a modern Hawaiian shirt. Along with shirts, well-tailored printed pants and shorts are also in fashion.

Since it is the start of the cold season, wearing thicker clothes is a must. Patterned or printed jackets in camouflage, plaid, and floral is another trend. This looks good when paired with solid colored pants or shorts.

Other must-haves are men’s blazers, Parka jackets, and duffle coat.
