Shawish JeweleryIf you want to buy your girl a diamond ring, and I mean a REAL diamond ring, you’d better start saving now.

The world’s first diamond ring is made entirely out of a single diamond rock, and it’s simply brilliant in every sense of the word.

There is not a trace of silver, gold or platinum used. Breathtaking to behold, it’s so large it almost looks like the chunky plastic kid’s rings that were popular a over a decade ago. However, the price of this ring is slightly more. Uniquely crafted by Geneva, Switzerland based jeweler, Shawish Jewelery, the ring is a 150 carat solid diamond, and is being offered for a mere $68 million.

Retro Casio Watch
If it’s cool, it’s probably retro. That’s how the world of mainstream fashion works these days. Trends from the 40’s and 50’s right up to the 80’s and 90’s all influence todays high street fashion. From the way men all over are rocking brogues on their feet, skinny fit trousers and accessorising with braces and dickie bow ties we can tell that looking at the past is where the future of fashion lies.

Men’s retro watches in particular have seen a huge resurgence in sales, with the old style Casio watches (you know, the ones with calculators built in?) being some of the Continue reading »

disco helmetWhen San Francisco based designer, Natalina Walsh, created a how-to guide for making a ‘do it yourself’ disco helmet, her idea was to teach people to create a funky retro melon protector. Her bright idea was to take a usually lame-looking motorcycle accessory, and then make it just as cool and ‘sparkly’ as possible.

In a move that screams irony, Walsh recommends using Continue reading »

Ugly Side Of BeautyDid you know there is an ugly side to beauty? The sad truth is that many salons hire people who have never attended a reputable trade school, and are not qualified to be performing services. Salons, that care so little as to employ these unqualified people, put you at serious risk for many serious diseases and disorders. They can also ‘accidentally’ injure persons with health risks, often with tragic results. Here are just a few examples of why being treated by a qualified technician is so important:

Item 1 – Never use nippers or blades on a diabetic person. This could lead to ulcers, infections, gangrene, amputation and death.

Item 2 – Never wax over varicose veins. Doing so could Continue reading »

Rose-scented micro-capsules are embedded in the shirt’s collar, and if they’re rubbed or put under pressure, they explode, releasing a liquid that evaporates into the air. The scent is designed to be Continue reading »
