Shopping Scandal

Father's Day is right around the corner! You may choose to buy something locally, or to go online and get a personalized gift for your father...It's the kind of gift that reaches the heart faster and that is not as easy to find in brick-and-mortar stores. Personalizing allows not only to add your Dad's name to the gift, but also to add your own message, resize or add images, move them around and more...your personal touch ob such gifts - even if its' just changing the message - makes it a one-of-a-kind gift that he will treasure forever. The variety of gifts is considerable so you will not fit limited...As part of such great variety, you will find the classic neckties, mugs, t-shirts and phone cases or laptop sleeves that have become traditional in the new millennium. Socks? Yeah...those are available too, but heck...try something more adventurous perhaps? (unless your dad reaaaally loves socks!). There's so many possibilities: t-shirts, neckties, phone cas

If you already have a room with blues, white and golds...and you want to keep it simple but definitely dedicate the "scene" to a truly nautical theme, with tall ships, you can always add a pinch of such flavor with accessories. This works for any room in your home, whether it's the family room, bathroom, or dining room. Trinket trays, serving trays, coasters, boxes, decorative plates or tiles, and other tiny items can give the touch that's needed to transform your space into a nautical one.

Nautical themes are among the most popular styles these days. Timeless and elegant, nautical decor can also be paradoxically informal and relaxing. The predominant colors will be blue, white and gold, the colors associated with the sea or beach, sand, clouds and sunlight. Combining elements of the marine environment with stripes and knot designs makes for a cozy feeling unlike any other, and allows you to recreate a calm holiday vacation feeling even if you live in the middle of a huge city like New York. It's actually creating your little getaway even in the middle of a concrete jungle. Printed simulations or actual materials including wood, rope and canvas along with the color mentioned above (gold, blue and white) combine in different ways to give it a more formal or informal feeling. Polished dark wood and warmer shade of dark blue (or even red) and gold lend themselves for a more formal feel, as do more antique drawings and elements. Lighter shades of wood - particularl

In a health-minded society like today's, nobody can stop thinking about "hole foods". It sounds as healthy as broccoli, but it's more fun. It seems to be that no matter how hard we're hammered by health tips and scientific information about the benefits of delicacies like, yes, broccoli (again!), we keep thinking about HOLE foods...because we love them. We may yield to temptation or not, but we keep them in our mind...sort of an obsession or almost like love. Even after breaking up, we keep thinking about the object of our passions! And we have the excuse that "hole" sounds like "whole" so we rationalize our way back to them, even if just in thoughts. If you haven't figured it out yet, this unhealthy guilty pleasure that I call hole foods is the same thing some other people more overtly call donuts! And yes, we love them...warts and all! If you're a fan of hole foods....rejoice and celebrate your passion with these customizable
