[SNOB] Metal Paisley Snap back in Gold – 67,310KRW @ GVG

Might someone over there might get interested to know on what these Kpop idols often wears most of the time especially the idols or celebrities they’d often look up too, right? today, let me share with you this piece of accessory, an cap perhaps that this guy named Kikwang, B2st member, wearing on the photo on top. Actually, I see a bunch of Snapback already of the same thing, design wise, about this Addicted Snob cap but I think the brand name, Snob, was the one most consider and demand today since most celebrities are fond of wearing it. Have you seen your fave idols recently wearing the same cap or anything pieces from the brand Snob already? I think, snob brand is kinda popular today in Korea? what do you think?

Since I was a guy that has a lot of spare time and due to my curiosity about the brand.. LOL I’ve decided to check on the brand’s main site and I’ve found out that the guy kikwang wears on the top photos has an price of 67,310KRW and indeed! SNOB is an local brand in Korea. But no worries. Because you can still buy the same cap or anything pieces within the brand by just checking their online store here: gvg.co.kr . Alright, that is the only information that I can give out here since the brand, Snod, is not yet affiliated on this site. hahaha They must see this write up and consider me as their influencer. ahah just send over some pieces on my way please???

Okay, that will be all for now  and I hope you’ll keep on checking me here for more fashion and news updates regarding with some kpop fashion as well brands and labels new in collections. Thank you so much!

A Worthwhile Read: Oriental Rugs: An Illustrated Lexicon of Motifs, Materials, and Origins

by admin

I like browsing through the pages of Good Housekeeping because I get a lot of home decorating ideas and it keeps me abreast on what is happening in the world of interior design. If you do not want to spend too much money then instead of hiring an interior decorator just flip through the pages of magazines to get inspiration and in the process know the latest trends when it comes to what looks good in a home. But more than contemporary design, I have always been fascinated with old fashioned homes decorated with oriental rugs. Their beautiful and intricate designs and colors make a house, no matter how small or big it is, look so elegant.

A lot of people consider them as pieces of art. They are rugs that were made in the Orient or in Asia namely China, Vietnam, Nepal, Pakistan, Turkey, Cyprus, Iran, India, Egypt, and Morocco. They were brought to the West during the Crusades and are organized by origin such as Arabian rugs, Persian rugs, Central Asian rugs, Chinese rugs, Indian rugs etc. They can last for decades because of their high quality. Antique oriental rugs have been in demand for years. Some even display them as wall decors. Since there are so many different designs and sizes, finding one that will complement your home’s motif might be challenging. It is probably a good idea to start your home decor with the oriental rug first then pick the rest of the furnishing to suit the oriental rug.

If you want to know more about oriental rugs, then Peter F. Stone’s book Oriental Rugs: An Illustrated Lexicon of Motifs, Materials, and Origins is a great reference. It contains over 1,000 vivid drawings and pictures of different types, designs, and sizes of oriental rugs. The book gives ample information about rugs being a part of art history and how tribal weavings, particularly oriental rugs, make us more knowledgeable about some traditions that were not given much attention before. Examples of which are the weavings of southwest Persia, Baluchistan and Kurdistan.

This book likewise gives information about oriental rugs that have not been previously written. It provides straightforward and exact definitions for the rug and fabric terms used in each country where it is made. The book also touches on museum-quality rug traditions and the modern ways of manufacturing or producing them as well as on the rich hand-knotting and hand-weaving traditions of the Near East and Central Asia and some examples of Scandinavian and Native American weavings. This brief but comprehensive book is a must-have for beginners, serious collectors, scholars, and dealers. It is easy to read and any rug afficionado can read this to expand their knowledge of textiles.

The Best Way To Invest, Coins and Jewelry

by admin

In uncertain economic times, jewelry and coins always retain their value. Coins and jewelry pieces are very liquid as they can be sold at anytime for fair prices. It’s important to understand the various factors involved in determining the market value of jewelry, coins and other forms of currency. First and foremost, the precious metal content of a gold is a very important factor in the final sale price. The purity of gold coins is usually rated in 12K, 14K, 18K, 20K and 22K denominations. Naturally, a high purity rating yields a higher market value for a gold coin. By knowing the purity and weight of a gold coin, the value can be calculated at any instant. The only factor that fluctuates is the market price of gold, which changes slightly on a daily basis. However, the price of gold per ounce has been been reaching record highs during the recent U.S. economic recession.

Another factor that plays an important role in the value of a gold coin is age. The older the coin is, the more rare and valuable it is considered to be. For example, a gold coin from the 16th century is more valuable than a coin of the same purity and weight from the 20th century. Gold coins have been minted since ancient times. Most coins from early civilizations are now on display in museums and private collections as historic relics and not currency. For example, it would be impossible to estimate the market value of a gold coin that was minted during Ancient Roman times. In general, foreign gold coins tend to be more expensive than American gold coins when dealing on the American market. Trying to visit a numismatic dealer is an example of searching for a great purchase or sale deal on gold coins that are minted in the United States.

Paper currency can also be very valuable depending on several factors. For example, the United States has released different dollar denominations for brief periods throughout the country’s history. A 5 dollar bill minted during the Civil War in the United States has tremendous historic value in today’s market. Experienced numismatic dealers usually know the history behind all of the currency circulation of the United States dating back to the earliest federal reserves and mints. Rare American coins that are not made of precious metals can still have high value in today’s market.

Late nights cannot be avoided especially if you are as busy as me. I also find that I am able to think more clearly at night when everybody is fast asleep and my surroundings is so quiet. Since everything has consequences, my unhealthy habit has resulted in my having eye bags and dark circles under my eyes. I noticed that it has become more pronounced throughout the years to the point that it has become unsightly. So I decided to do something about it and used Celeteque DermoScience Brightening Eye Tuck Plus Dark Circles Lightener.

This amazing product is manufactured by Unilab, the leading pharmaceutical and healthcare company in the country. They have many other beauty and wellness products that consumers patronize. Celeteque DermoScience Brightening Eye Tuck Plus Dark Circles Lightener has an ingredient called Eyeseryl Tetrapeptide Complex which efficiently counters the formation of loose skin around the eyes by improving skin elasticity and fighting water accumulation, thus preventing puffiness around the eyes. It also brightens the skin around the eyes giving them a glowing look in just a short time.

There are many things I like about this product such as its consistency. It is easy to apply and does not have that sticky after feel. I also like that it comes in a squeeze tube with a narrow nozzle which prevents anything from being wasted. I have been using this continuously and have noticed that the dark circles under my eyes has lightened considerably and I no longer have tired looking eyes.

I have tried several of their products and I must say that they are totally effective. These days I always use the Celeteque DermoScience Sun Care Soothing Lip Balm w/ SPF15 (8 g.) whether I am just at home or I am out doing errands and other stuff. Since the weather is cold nowadays my lips are always dry which results in cracked or chapped lips. Eversince I started using this lip balm, I have seen this marked improvement on my lips. It no longer gets dry. Celeteque DermoScience Sun Care Soothing Lip Balm with SPF15 has a double sunscreen protection against UVA/UVB rays which can damage and rapidly age the lips.

Beautiful Images with Easy Canvas Prints

by admin

Christmas is fast approaching and as early as now I am already thinking of gifts to give to the special people in my life. I want presents that are unique and those that they will remember for the rest of their lives, not just the usual items that you can buy at the mall or online stores. I browsed the internet for ideas and found this really interesting website called Easy Canvas Prints (there are actually similar sites where you can customize products such as Allied Shirts and Build a Sign) where you can turn your pictures into custom canvas prints for decorating your home or to be given away as presents.

The great thing about this is that you can customize your canvas prints by uploading any photo to a selection of size choices, picking your depth, and selecting a custom border. It is totally up to you how you want your prints to look like. You can do the whole process in a matter of minutes through their Easy Canvas Prints design tool. Select from standard .75″ or gallery wrapped 1.5″ finished sides as well as custom canvas wrapped sides with image wrap, mirrored wrap, or custom hex code colors. If you are not satisfied with the way your prints look, these can be retouched by their team of art professionals. Other enhancements like Black & White or Sepia Conversion, photo collages and multi–canvas collages are also available.

I saw some sample images at their website and they are really stunning. I can only imagine how beautiful my canvas prints will look like what with their semi-gloss surface. Plus, canvases can resist most scratches, smudges, fingerprints, etc. and are said to last for decades with proper care. If you are wondering what type of photos can be printed, then rest assured that you can print any digital image whether it is a painting or digital art or a photograph. Make sure though that you do not infringe any copyright.

Although most industries in the United States are contracting because of the recession, the health care industry is actually expanding. The overall age of the population is getting older because of the large generation of Baby Boomers who are entering the age of the senior citizen. There are many options for a hard working individual who is looking for safe employment in order to raise a family or simply get ahead. However, it is essential that an individual get the proper training in order to take full advantage of these opportunities.

The nursing industry is in need of individuals who are looking for steady work in all aspects of the industry. Whether you want to get involved with the administration side of the business or work directly with patients within hospitals or providing in home care, the DNP programs online is there so that you can learn these skills without having to overturn your current day to day life.

The main advantage of an online class of any sort is the ability to take that class at your leisure.

With this kind of flexibility, it is much easier for an individual to complete the work as well as master the material in a much more precise way than in a classroom.

Another advantage is that online courses usually cost much less than in class courses.
