  • Perfume Review: Morgan Sweet Paradise by Morgan de Toi

    Posted on September 30th, 2010 GuestPoster No comments

    Morgan Sweet Paradise by Morgan de Toi was launched in 2007 and it is the fourth fragrance produced by Cofinluxe, which owns the Morgand de Toi licence. In this case there is a break from the intense sugary aroma of its predecessor Love Love de Toi, in favour of a still fruity, but fresher aroma, which is inspired by summer and tropical beaches. The bottle has a flower theme and keeps the traditional snugly shape of the brand. The official notes are: litchis, pink pepper, frangipani flower, hibiscus, orchid, cyclamen, musk and sandalwood.

    Although it can work as a teenage perfume, and it is suitable for young women from 15 years of age, in spite of the word “sweet” in the name, this fragrance doesn’t exploit the typical gourmand notes like other perfumes of its category, for example the Vera Wang perfume Rock Princess, or Britney Spears perfume Curious.

    The opening is quite fresh with aromatic water on a base of citrus and sweet fruits on a base of florals. In the middle phase, the majority of the fruity notes are absorbed by the florals, which now feel more intense, within a line of white freesias, and tropical flowers like frangipani. There are also slightly spicy traces, probably roots. In the final phase, there is a mix of roots, patchouli and sage, and a light vetiver. There is also some residual fruit in the background, which doesn’t interfere with the main aroma.
    The nice thing about this fragrance is that it contains tropical fruits, but it won’t become a sun-tan lotion. In the office it can be comfortably used as it feels clean and non-intrusive. On a night scenario it is perhaps too soft, and too closely related to the first part of the day, and on the romantic side, it is more personal than seductive. With the right personality it can be worn until 55-60 years.

  • Patio Umbrella Lights Can Be Great!

    Posted on September 30th, 2010 GuestPoster No comments

    Due to the fact that it’s summertime in the United States, a lot of people are spending the extra time in the backyard having barbecues and family get togethers. A lot of people go to extreme troubles to make their backyards and patios beautiful. They spend an awful lot of money on things like patio furniture and expensive landscaping to make these areas one of the most relaxing places to spend time in around their home.

    Most people haven’t even heard about a very cool light fixture is attached patio umbrellas call the patio umbrella light. These clever patio light fixtures will create a very cozy and relaxing atmosphere underneath your patio umbrella at night. Another purpose for patio umbrella lights is to light the area under the patio umbrella. It’s not uncommon for patio umbrellas to be quite dark underneath them at night because they block so much of the lighting from your patio lights. It can be a real bother to have to fold the patio umbrella down at night or take it in every night. The atmosphere that the patio umbrella light can provide is sometimes tough to beat.

    It’s most common for patio umbrella lights to be battery powered and have LED light bulbs in them. Because patio umbrella lights are equipped with LED light bulbs, these light fixtures are very efficient and your battery should last quite a long time. It’s not uncommon for patio LED umbrella light fixtures to look like a little flying saucer with a hole in the middle of them. They’re designed this way so that the patio umbrella pole can go through the middle of it and it can rest on your patio table. Most of these patio umbrella lights will open with a hinge so that you can position them around the shaft of the patio umbrella. Why not spruce your patio umbrella up a bit with a new patio umbrella light?

  • Options Available Besides Buying A Finished Writing Desk

    Posted on September 29th, 2010 GuestPoster No comments

    If you are the sort of person who enjoys doing home improvement projects and building things you may be interested in trying to build your own writing desk. The great thing about building your own furniture, especially if it is not that difficult to build, is that you can custom design it so that it fits into the area where it will be going and so that it has all the accessories you would like it to have.

    Of course writing desks are actually fairly cheap to buy, depending on the type that you buy. You can either buy them online or you can buy them from regular office supply and office furniture stores. If you are not able to build an entire desk from scratch, you may still enjoy buying one from an office supply shop and putting it together yourself. They are usually fairly easy to assemble and providing you receive good instructions it should only take you an hour or so to assemble it.

    Building your own writing desk from scratch may not necessarily be that much cheaper than buying one. The price of wood has gone up tremendously these days, thus if you are planning on using real wood to build your desk you may find that it turns out to be a fairly costly project. Of course that may not be an issue if you get a lot of enjoyment out of making furniture, or if it is a hobby for you.

    Do not expect to be able to finish building a writing desk in one afternoon unless you are making an extremely simple one. Before starting you will want to find some plans that you can follow or draw up plans of your own. Also make a list of all the materials you will need to build your desk and the tools that will be needed to do it.

    Set up your workspace in an area that will not be disturbed so that you could leave any half finished work out without any problem. Remember when calculating the cost of the materials that you will also need to finish the wood.

    The advantage to making your own desk is that you will be able to customize it to your own specifications. You can also design it so that it fits exactly in the space allotted for it. Many people also get a lot of satisfaction out of a building their own desk.

    If you do not feel quite ready to build your own writing desk from scratch, an alternative is to find an old second hand writing desk and refinish it. This is relatively simple, all that needs to be done is to sand down the desk and then refinished it with either varnish or some type of lacquer.

  • Value Investing Is Smart and Beats Growth Investing

    Posted on September 29th, 2010 GuestPoster No comments

    Recent research has found that growth investors actually faired worse over time than value investors.  In essence, value investing ironically resulted in more growth than growth investing.  There is a simple reason for that.  Value investing goes from the fundamentals up to the market price.  Growth either goes in the opposition direction or actually never goes there at all.

    There is a reason why ultra successful investors like Warren Buffett find value investing to be the best investment strategy in the world.  The great news is that you don’t have to be a genius to be one.

    Value investing starts with a critical and fundamental analysis of the company itself.  At the starting point, you are completely blind to what the shares are trading for or how fast it has been or not been growing in the last 52 weeks.

    You look at their financial statements and make sure they are solid and without any major anomalies.  You also look at their business model and make sure that it is solid against competitors.  You need to make sure they are well positioned to outpaced their competition for the next little while.  You also want to take a glance at the market they are going after.  See if it’s been saturated or it’s growing with room for more business.

    Then you have to make a valuation call on the business.  That’s not easy to do, especially for a retail investor.  There are many easy models to follow that will give you a good sense of how much a company should be worth.  I say ‘should’ because sometimes it will not match the market’s valuation.

    Then you go look at the market price of the company.  Here’s a quick stock market basics lesson on finding out the value: you look at the market cap.  I won’t go into how to calculate it right now, but you can use any stock screener to find these values.  If your valuation is higher than the market cap by 20% or more, than you may have a winner.  That is how you do value investing.

  • Recommendations For Paintball Barrels

    Posted on September 29th, 2010 GuestPoster No comments

    Paintball barrels differ in design, color and sizes. Some paintball enthusiasts who prefer to use custom made paintball guns and barrels sometimes use barrels with 48 inches in length. Some also use paintball barrels which are 8 inches long or even shorter, but this type of paintball barrel is not recommended for ranged combat since its accuracy rate is very poor.

    If you’re using a barrel with 14 inches or more, know that as the length of your barrel increases, so as the gas consumption, so if you’re using a very long type of paintball barrel, then expect that you’ll be consuming tremendous amount of gas. Higher capacity gas tanks are recommended for paintball guns with very long barrels.

    If you like playing paintball when the weather is warm or on warm seasons, guns with short barrel are recommended since those with longer barrels works great during cold seasons. One of the great things about long barreled paintball guns is that they don’t make that much noise, putting the user at the advantage. The reason behind it is the porting design. Ports are the holes that paintball barrels have on their sides, but usually the designs on the longer ones are different and some short barreled paintball guns don’t have ports. Avoiding causing too much noise puts you at a disadvantage on the battlefield that is the reason why most players choose barrels with ports. The higher number of ports considerably reduces the sound that that the paintball gun makes. But you also pay the high price of using too much gas so you would get the desired velocity.

    These days, many people use threaded barrels. There are many types of threads but Angel, Tippman, Shocker and Spyder are the most common. The term used for the diameter of the inner barrel is bore. Barrels these days are made from different types of materials, most of the paintball barrels that are available in the market are made out of aluminum, ceramic stainless steel and brass.

    1 to 3 piece barrels are some that are preferred by many. The one piece barrel is just like what it’s called, it is made out of a single material; the material used for this type of barrel is usually aluminum. The 2 piece barrel contains a front and a back which is made out of two types of material. The 3 piece barrel is not exactly what it sounds like, it doesn’t have a three piece back but rather it only has a single back. There are also other types of barrels; these are the apex and the flatline barrel.

    Most people use aluminum paintball barrels, though it is long lasting like the stainless steel barrel, aluminum barrels are not only easy to carry because of its light weight, it is also light for your pocket. Find out more about Kingman Spyder Sonix or Spyder Pilot paintball marker.

  • Wonderful Christmas Photo Greeting Cards Ideas

    Sending Christmas cards during the holiday season is a tradition that is practiced worldwide. Needless to say, you certainly wouldn’t want to limit yourself on the mass produced and often boring store brought greeting cards. In that case, creating one on your own would be a much better option. Personalized Christmas photo greeting cards are now gaining popularity these days. This type of cards is a creative adaptation to the conventional holiday cards sold in bookstores and other online shops. If you are thinking of sending your friends, relatives, family, or colleagues with unique holiday greeting cards, then you should take note of some amazing Xmas photo card ideas that will be mentioned below.

    Using nativity scenes as featured designs in Christmas greeting cards is already a common sight. In fact, designing one on your own can be done with ease if you have reliable photo editing software. Now, conceptualizing photo card designs is way easier than before thanks to the emergence of advanced photo editing software applications. Aside from having this software installed in your computer, all you need to have is a wild imagination. There are many styles of nativity scenes that you can choose to include on your greeting cards. How you would want the photo to look will be up to you. You can even manipulate a nativity scene photo to come up with something more original.

    Santa themed cards are also common card designs used by many. This kind of photo greeting card is the perfect choice when the recipient of the card is your kids or your small nieces and nephews. The inclusion of reindeers would also be a great idea since children always envision Santa with his reindeers. To be more original, you can take a photo with your family using a Santa themed background and embed that photo on the greeting cards that you will be sending to your relatives or friends. There is no better way of personalizing holiday greeting cards than using actual photos.

    If you decide to go the non-traditional route, you can use photos of your holiday trip as the main feature of your greeting card or you can take photos of you and your family dressed in funny Christmas costumes. That way, you are adding more interest and character to your greeting cards.
