I hate mornings. I so honestly do, even though I enjoy the morning freshness, first sun rays and the deafening silence. But, when my alarm clock goes on with its squeaky sound and interrupts my dreaming all of a sudden, everything turns black. It’s the time of the day when it’s best that no one approaches anyone. And in that condition, all sleepy with eyelids half closed, I move to the kitchen like a zombie and look for my coffee.

Coffee Mugs

Now, while preparing coffee is one thing, putting it in the right coffee mug is another. Just after me hating mornings, is me hating drinking coffee in a mug that’s not mine.

Everyone has their own coffee mug. I have three, to be exact. One small for morning coffees with a quote on it. It’s not an inspiring one, but something that represents my Monday desire to bring the weekend back. It kind of stimulates me to work my ass off during the week and plan the weekend right, so it’s so good I actually want to live through it again. My second mug is a little bigger and definitely wider, and serves for my midday coffee when I need an energy boost. That one has a rather suitable quote on it and a nice coffee-loving design. And my last one is a gift from a dear friend and it’s more like a tea mug, but I use it for coffee when I need a really large and strong dose of it.

olight flashlight

If you are looking to buy a long range flashlight, what you need is a throw flashlight. Despite the name, you don’t actually throw the flashlight itself. In fact, I would strongly recommend against doing that. It doesn’t work like a boomerang, a shuriken, a chakram, or any other throwing weapon. The “throw” part refers to the light beam. Basically, the two terms that are always used to describe the beam pattern which the flashlight gives off are flood and throw.

With a flood flashlight, the beam isn’t focused, but it lights up the whole area around the flashlight and they often have more output than throw flashlights. A standard light bulb in your home is an extreme example of a flood flashlight. It lights up the whole room without any specific direction.

A throw flashlight, on the other hand, is able to shoot a focused beam at very large distances without necessarily lighting up the area around the flashlight. An extreme version of that would be a spotlight. The most common way these flashlights are created is by using a parabolic reflector with the LED perfectly positioned in the focus so that all of the light that hits the reflector travels parallel to the same direction where the flashlight is pointing. Another way to do that is with the help of lenses and TIR optics.

When it comes to long throw LED flashlights, Olight are the true masters and one of their best models is the Olight SR52 UT. The SR52 Ultra Throw Intimidator is a next generation flashlight with more power in a small body and it really lives up to its name. Weighing at 405g, the Olight SR52 UT has a maximum output of 1100 lumens and can reach a distance up to an amazing 800 meters. This is all thanks to the latest Cree XP-L HI LED and the quality focus system and the ultra clear tempered glass lens with an anti-reflective coating.

One of the most notable differences between this and the previous model is that it has no dome which results in a more focused beam. It has a built-in charging USB port for its 18650 rechargeable lithium ion batteries and an indicator that will let you know when the batteries are full or running low. It has three different settings, plus a strobe mode and can run up to 40 hours at the lowest setting. It comes in a neat plastic box and a holster. You will also get a micro USB cable, a car adapter, two spare O-Rings, a user manual and a five year warranty. This flashlight is perfect for search and rescue operations, law enforcement and outdoor use in general.

The versatile world we live in today enables us to be in touch with endless possibilities and products, and thanks to technology it is all within our reach. You can find whatever it is you are looking for to get more information about in an instant with the use of the many devices and gadgets. Among the products you may or may not know much about are alkyl nitrites, or better known as poppers.

Though they grew in popularity in the 70s and 80s of the previous century, they were actually present much longer. In the end of the 19th century, the French chemist Antoine Jérôme Balard introduced the use of alkyl nitrites in medicine and since they were in the form of glass capsules that popped open they got the name. Because of the effects on dilation of arteries, or in other words relaxation of the blood vessels, they began to be used for treating angina pectoris as they enhance the blood flow. This process enables relaxation of the muscles, and as such it also found its way as a sort of an aphrodisiac among the gay community, though not much later the popularity reached heterosexuals as well. The reason it started to be used as a component of sexual pleasures is because of the relaxing muscle effect which includes the muscles of the vagina and anus.

poppers

Poppers can be found in liquid form today and the way to use them is by inhaling them. While you can find them in sex shops, if you do a little research on getting your poppers liquid, you will see there are plenty more to choose from online shops. Some of the most popular brands known to be strong enough with the desired effects are Jungle Juice, Rush, Buzz and Hard On.

If you want to spice up your sex life with something other than sex toys, give poppers liquid a try. Along with muscle relaxation, poppers provide an increased sensitivity to physical stimulation and touch, increased intensity of experiences as well as a feeling of warmth.

Headaches, faintness and sickness are the usual side effects of frequent use, and while still regarded mild and safe, poppers are not advisable for people with certain health conditions, blood pressure and heart issues among which considering the increased heart rate after use. Because of legal issues and some bans, most poppers you find might be listed as room odourisers.

Few of us have the luxury of having enough space to accommodate both a bath and a shower screen. Therefore, having a bath with a shower screen mounted is the most common solution. In the last few years, shower curtains got replaced by shower screens. The reason for this is their appealing look, functionality and the fact that they are quite easy to clean. They come in many shapes, sizes and styles, therefore once you get a hold of the most important basics, it will be easy to spot the right one for you on a shower screen sale.

Shower Screens

Shower screens include doors that are mostly made from one or two platforms that close the shower area. A good shower screen should have at least two water outlets on the profile so that the water accumulated inside the profile can go back to the shower area, instead of outside. There are many different types of shower screens, but these one are the most common and popular to use:

Single bath screen
It features a classic design, usually goes with an aluminium profile that can swing 120 or 180 degrees depending on its location. One of the biggest pros of this shower screen is that it very easy to clean and it can swing more than the other types of screens.

Two-part shower screen
If you are looking for more coverage, you should consider this type of shower screen. It usually comes with the ability to cover around 150 cm and features easily accessible screen door that allows you easy access in the shower area. One of the biggest benefits of this shower is having fix panel where you can mount extra base that prevents getting hit from the swing door.

Frameless screen
If you want the minimalist look you can go for the frameless shower screen. What makes this screen great is the fact that all the weight is supported by two brackets on the wall without any aluminium profiles holding it. This renders it easy on the eye and utterly simple.

When visiting a shower screen sale, make sure that you check for the Australian safety standard HB 125. This means that should the shower screen break it will smash into tiny pieces which are less likely to cause an injury. Choosing glass that is 6 mm or 8 mm thick should also be one of the priorities to look for.

I really wish I had a magic wand and the power to walk into any gallery and buy any artwork right off the walls. But, who am I kidding? Let’s get real! This is just not going to happen anytime soon, so instead I will stay keen on the Internet and take advantage of the many superior quality art prints from thousands of artists around the world.

Luckily, collecting art prints by renowned artists has gained a lot of popularity, so many people like me and you who are crazy about art can afford to have art prints from various worldwide famous artists. However, before you buy art online Australia experts recommend that you do a through research and find a trustworthy online gallery.

If you are a new collector of original art prints, go through this brief step-by-step guide before making your purchase.

  • Don’t Buy Reproduction Art Sold As An Original – This may be obvious, but how to tell a reproduction from an original? There is one way way to find out and that is by examining the print under a jeweler’s magnifying glass. If the art print breaks up into tiny dots, then you have the most common type of reproduction – a photo offset lithograph. An original art print, or simply said a genuine stone lithograph, is solid and substantial.
  • Check The Size Against Its Documentation – The size of an art print is always documented in the “catalogue raisonne” of the particular artist’s work, so the size must be the same. Check the auction records and compare the print with others offered on the market. If the sizes do not match, do not buy it!
  • Do Not Assume It Is First Edition – It may be printed from the artist’s original plate, wood or stone block, but keep in mind that many prints went through several editions. If you have no experience in this, a professional and skilled dealer will know by the presence or absence of watermarks, the size, the type of paper, as well as by the overall quality impression.
  • Check If It Is A Lifetime Impression – Lifetime impression is a print that was created during the artist’s lifetime, so they are more valuable when compared to others.
  • Certificate Of Authenticity? Be Careful, It Could Be A Scam – Today, it is almost impossible to buy an art print without a Certificate of Authenticity, but these certificates are really no guarantee as they are easy to print. Instead, look for a justification de tirage or colophon. A colophon is a page found in all XX century portfolios that contains original prints and limited editions. This will indicate when, where and by whom it was published, as well as the size of the edition and the lifetime impression.
  • Keep An Eye On The Artist’s Signature – Since art prints are signed in pencil by the artist, the signature can be easily forged. The number of people who were scammed by the artist’s signature is increasing, so before you buy art online Australia artists recommend you investigate the authenticity of the signature, especially when buying signed art prints by eminent artists like Picaso, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Chagall, Andy Warhol, etc.
  • Do A Through Research – Woodcuts, lithographs, drypoints, mezzotints, etchings, silkscreens, aquatints, etc., are prints that are differently created in order to achieve a different effect. So, do a thorough research before making a purchase.
  • The Impressions Of Various Prints Are Different – Do not get confused by this! Different prints have different effects. This means that some impressions will be more lifelike, while others more weak.

  • Get A Better Price – Another great tip, if you plan to buy art online Australia art experts advise you to carefully shop and consider the prices of several online galleries. Look and compare! Just make sure you are considering the same art print and size.
  • Buy It With Love – Do not buy a print if you are not into art! Buy it because you love it. Decorate your walls with original art prints by popular artists from around the world and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere in your home filled with the things you enjoy being around.

The weather is warmer, the days are longer and everything around is ready for the summer season. After a long, cold winter, summer is finally here and we are all ready to soak up every ray of sunshine. While making plans to hit the pool, go to the beach or a lake to get the dose of vitamin D the old-fashioned way, think about all that time you are about to spend in the sun.

Keep in mind that skin cancer is the most common form of cancer that affects people nowadays. Aside from cancer, people often get skin spots, sunburns and wrinkles because they do not use the right sun protection. To avoid such unwanted problems, arm yourself with information; read how you can protect your skin from the sun this summer:

Summer-Beach-Style-Protect

  1. Use sunscreen – Sunscreen is not just for hot summer days; you can and should use it whole year round, even when it’s cloudy or cold. All sunscreens include a sun protection factor (SPF) which will keep your skin safe from the harmful effects of UV rays to a certain degree, depending on the SPF number. When looking to buy a sunscreen, make sure it has at least 15 SPF. The higher the SPF the higher the protection. But keep in mind that you do not have to buy the highest SPF number there is, get the one that suits your complexion. And do not forget to apply it every other hour.
  2. Seek the Shade – Regardless of how much you want that bronze tan, laying all day under the sun is very dangerous and will certainly cause huge damages to your skin. Take an umbrella with your or find a shaded beach and stay there. Your skin will thank you.
  3. Wear a Hat – The models, designs, colours, shapes and sizes of hats for woman are endless. From dark to bright, big to small and straw to fabric, the range of hats for woman you can choose from is huge. But beside the fact that a summer hat will make you look fabulous and modern, it will also protect your skin. Hats for women that cover the neck, face and ears are quite effective at keeping UV rays away from your skin. So, no matter whether you are going to the beach, for a walk or getting coffee with your friends, wearing a hat in hot summer days is a must.
  4. Cover yourself up – Paired with sunscreen, clothing can significantly protect your skin from sun rays. In hot summer days try to wear clothes in bright colours and made of woven fabrics. Also, there are specially designed clothes that have a built-in UV protection; wearing such pieces of clothing will keep away the UV rays and keep your skin safe and young.
  5. Sunglasses – Beside being stylish, sunglasses will protect your eyes from the UV rays, thus reduce the risk of cataracts. They also add protection to the delicate skin around your eyes, which is usually more prone to wrinkles.
  6. Avoid Tanning – The direct exposure to UV rays will certainly increase the risk of developing eye diseases and skin cancer. The range of tanning products is wide, so spraying your skin with tanning products is definitely a better idea than exposing it directly to UV rays. This will help you get the tan you want without any skin spots and sunburns.

A living room without an occasional table is pretty much like a supermodel on a magazine cover without makeup. The living room makes no sense without its main item – the coffee table. Drinking coffee is one of the main reasons you spend so much time in it, isn’t it? Okay, one of the reasons.

Coffee Table

However, occasional tables are not just for living rooms. For instance, since I so much love having my morning coffee on the balcony while enjoying the chilly sunny weather, or in the silence of my bedroom while my man is still asleep, I have one in my bedroom and on my balcony. What can I say, I love coffee.

And since the occasional table is a much needed furniture element, picking the right one is more than important. The coffee table should blend with the rest of your room design both in terms of style and colour, and should be placed in the right spot so you feel comfortable while serving yourself a cup of coffee, tea or a glass of wine.

So, how to pick the right one?

Shape

Which room you need the occasional table for? Your bedroom? The balcony? Or for the large living room where your kids will run and play? If you need it for the space where kids spend a lot of time, go with a round one as it does not have sharp edges. And if you do not have children, pick anything you like that complements the room design.

Colour

I probably should have mentioned the material first, but having an occasional table of the best possible material in the wrong colour is just unacceptable. So, colour first. Whatever you decide to get, make sure it matches your furniture, your walls and the colour theme of the room décor. Imagine your interior is all beige and you place a black coffee table in the middle. Doesn’t make sense, does it?!

Material

When it comes to choosing the ideal material for your new occasional table, you have several choices. You can find anything, from wood to plastic and metal, it all depends on the effect you want to achieve. You can achieve a sophisticated look by combining either brass or steel with glass. Whether oak, walnut or maple, wood in general will give your space more warmth and coziness.

Style

By now, you have probably decided what style you prefer; contemporary, trendy, antique, vintage, formal or informal? If you want something to complement your country design for example, choose a rustic oak table. Similarly, opt for a round table if you want to give a touch of romance to your room.

There are more elements to pay attention to when you are picking a new coffee table, of course, but these few are the basic ones, and being careful about basics is a job half done.

Light Work Outs

You don’t need to be a superhero to be strong, vital and above all, healthy. All you need are 5 minutes of simple and light daily workout (for example, light jogging) that will help you look great, feel alive and lose weight.

Energy Plates

The way people think about food is their biggest problem and an everyday challenge. Nutritionists advise having 3 meals a day rich in carbohydrates, fruit/vegetables and protein. For example:

  • Breakfast – For breakfast you can eat eggs, toast and grapefruit or other citrus juice.
  • Lunch – Tuna sandwich in combination with vegetable smoothie and green salad.
  • Dinner – The dinner can be a real treat if you eat fried chicken combined with mashed potatoes, Greek salad and tea.

Important thing is not to skip meals. Your body needs a lot of energy on a daily basis, so make sure you provide it.

Drink Lots Of Water, Eat Fruit & Vegetables

We all know that the human body is composed of 60% water, which means that we need to drink lots of water. Many studies show that drinking water and consuming water-rich foods will make you feel “full” after meals. So, the next time you feel hungry, first drink a glass of water (or eat a fruit/vegetable) and wait a few minutes.

Super Supplements

The 4th step of this easy weight-loss guide is to use super supplements and weight loss products, i.e. organic products. Super foods and weight loss products have some qualities that can help you control your appetite, burn extra kilograms and boost your energy.

Following these four simple steps is your only and true path to your “Successful Weight Loss Story”. Remember, right diet plan and a workout strategy are the key to success.

Did you know that according to a study where 12 different fruits were analyzed by researchers, results showed that 90% of the antioxidant activity was in the juice rather than the fiber? So, if you are ready to start a new healthy lifestyle, you should get a quality whole fruit juicer right now. This is your best go-to boosting energy solution.

Most people turn to coffee (or other drinks loaded with caffeine) as they find it to be the best solution to charge their batteries with energy for a whole day. But what they do not know is that a glass of freshly-made fruit juice is far more effective when it comes to boosting the energy levels. And let’s not talk how healthier the home-made fruit juice is compared to coffee, which is dehydrating and taxing to the body.

Whole fruit juicers are great option to ensure you are getting the recommended servings of fruits and veggies per day. But, the greatest thing about whole fruit juicers is that these small and highly versatile kitchen appliances allow users to make their own fruit and vegetable combinations, thus healthy cocktail receipts. To help boost your creativity, take a look at our 7-day juicing plan.

juicing-diet

  • Day No.1: Green Juice – Green juices can be quite tasty, but what makes them popular among nutritionists is the fact that they promote high levels of energy, boost immunity and promote weight loss.
  • Day No.2: Tomato-Vegetable Juice – It is considered as one of the healthiest drinks to grab on the go, especially in occasions where your fresh-juice choices are limited. The tomato juice is extremely good for the heart, the blood pressure and for reducing the risk of cancer.
  • Day No.3: Strawberry-Cucumber Juice – There is no better antioxidant juice than the strawberry-cucumber juice. Apart from being extremely tasty, this juice helps prevent breast, cervix, colon and esophageal cancer.
  • Day No.4: Blueberry-Cabbage Power Juice– Another antioxidants-loaded juice that offers amazing health benefits for the gastrointestinal system. It also promotes weight loss.
  • Day No.5: Spinach-Apple Juice – Rich in calcium, the spinach-apple juice is extremely good for the bone health, as it aids in cartilage and bone growth.
  • Day No.6: Ginger-Beet Juice – The delicious flavour is not the only reason why people love the ginger-beet juice. It is also powerful in reducing the muscle damage and pain, and boosting the endurance (it is especially recommended for active sports persons).
  • Day No.7: Carrot-Orange Juice – Loaded with vitamins and minerals, the carrot-orange juice is excellent for maintaining the healthy vision and metabolism, helps in lowring bad cholesterol and promotes lung health.

Want to be a professional fisherman? Then equip yourself with a proper fishing equipment. One of the essential things every fisherman needs to have is a fishing net. Whether for catching big or small fish, a strong and durable fishing net makes a huge difference. The chances of catching the fish are greater if you use reliable and dependable fishing net. You will find different categories of fishing nets available online. If you need a fishing net for catching bait in a livewell, a baitwell net will do the job. For seine fishing a casting net is what you need. In addition, the landing nets are ideal for capturing hooked fish. In order to buy the perfect fishing net, follow our simple guide.

Fishing Net

Landing Fishing Net

  • Netting Material – If you decide to go with a landing fishing net, then you need to pay attention to the material. You should definitely go for a landing fishing net that is made from coated nylon and rubber material. The non-coated nylon might damage the fish since the material is more abrasive and hard.
  • Mesh Size – Another thing to consider when shopping for a landing fishing net is the mesh size. If you plan to catch delicate species like small stream trout, then go with the micro mesh size. But for heavier fish like bass or walleye, you will definitely need heavier mesh with 2 centimeters holes. Since the holes are bigger, you can move the fishing net in the water easily and catch the fish without a problem.
  • Hoop Size And Shape – The hoop size of the fishing net depends mainly on the length of the fish you are planing to catch. If you are a multi-species fisherman, then one hoop will not do the job. For example, teardrop shaped nets are ideal for fishing in big waters or steep shorelines. Telescoping fishing net on the other hand, is ideal for fish like bass or crappie, and small wooden trout net for wading streams as well.
  • Handle Length And Material – Depending on the fish you are planing to catch, you can choose short handles that are easy to maneuver or long handles that perform better in big waters. The most popular fishing handles these days are the telescoping and folding handles. When you buy a fishing net, make sure you choose reliable and durable handle made of aluminum, fiberglass or wood. It is better to pay more and get a sturdy handle that will last you for years.
