Taking the Tungsten Ring Plunge

I have been in a long lasting relationship with my girlfriend and we are ready to move to the next step, engagement. We talk about it all the time but I don’t think my girlfriend is expecting me to propose so early. Since she has a year left of school we talked about waiting till she’s done to take the plunge, but what she doesn’t know, is that I’m planning on proposing soon.

With all this engagement and proposal on the brain I got to wondering what type of ring I would enjoy. I have been worrying so much about her ring that I haven’t thought about myself at all. After online browsing I found a ring that is so unique. I have never seen such a thing and am wondering if it is to risky of a ring to wear for my wedding band? With black manly details and tungsten metal quality I think it’s just right. I would enjoy a second opinion…what do you all think?

It’s All About the Small Details

Dressing up for work day after day can get boring. I personally don’t enjoy wearing suits and dress shoes on a daily basis so I try to spice things up. Instead of the typical black dress socks I have been wearing fun printed socks, which have been a hit at the office.

It turns out these socks that make me the laughing stock of the office are actually trendy. Dress socks with flair are a big trend in menswear. Wear them with a pair of oxfords, dress pants or even jeans. Some men may think these are girly or goofy…only real men can pull these off! What’s better than a pair of polka dot socks?

GoPlate

I wish I would have come up with these a long time ago. Who knew such a simple item would be so useful? For barbeques, pot lucks or just grilling at home we get there grab a beverage and get in line to eat! But most times it is a casual get together and there may not be access to sit at a table. Your hands are full and that food is making your mouth water. It sounds ridiculous but I have been in that situation more than once and only wish I would have been so creative as to think of this quick solution.

This GoPlate is meant for to fit around a glass, bottle or can you have your hands free for the delicousiness. That is what parties are all about right? Access to the brooskies and yummy food? Get this for only $19.00.

Cobalt Chrome vs. Tungsten and Titanium Rings

One major characteristic that Cobalt Chrome has is the bright white premium color. These eye catching bands are new in the ring industry and catch the eyes of many with the bright color. Especially popular in the Men’s Wedding Band industry, cobalt chrome’s bright color is guaranteed to NEVER fade. One advantage Cobalt Chrome rings have over titanium rings is that they are more scratch resistant compared to titanium, but less scratch resistant than Tungsten.

One major benefit you will find with Cobalt Chrome Rings is the ability to size. As you may have heard Tungsten and Titanium rings are difficult, if impossible to re size but you won’t have that trouble with the purchase of a Cobalt Chrome Ring. The weight of Cobalt Chrome weighs in the middle of the weight of Tungsten and Titanium. So it seems not super light but not real heavy either, which is a bonus.

Cuff Links Are A Man’s “It” Accessory

Have an even coming up where you need to get fancy? I have the perfect accessory that you will need. Cuff links. Cuff links are that type of men’s accessory that are forgotten. They make the difference between the typical dressed up man to the oh my he looks good type of man. And guys, believe me on this one. I, like pretty much every other girl, notices. I know a lot of men think of accessories as “girly” but they are not at all. You will catch girl’s attention with these on, advice from a girl herself.

Girls, especially ones into fashion, are checking guys styles out from the minute they meet them. These cuff links caught my eye because of their dark and gold features. I love the deep black titanium metal color, it is very manly. If you have a wedding, dance or any other occasion that you are in need to be dressed up make sure you don’t forget your cuff links!

What Your Tungsten Ring Says About You

If I had to describe the man in my life it would be: simple, athletic and clean cut. Joe, the man in my life, is into small details that make his style unique. He is into dark colored metal jewelry with unique engraved designs, which are a major trend right now. He hates to shop, like most guys, but likes to look on trend. All of you have your own personal style with your unique personality to match it but what rings you choose actually say something about each and every one of you.

The “no nonsense personality” can be found in the Triton Tungsten Ring collection. You will find a collection of sleek design offset by deep chrome and silver finishes.

The “I’m into looking trendy but not into shopping personality” can be found in the Art Carved Tungsten Ring collection. There, you will find an arrangement of engraved, artistic design and unique touches with different metal colors. The easy slip on, go and still look like rock star are a big contender for most men.

The “Not one to live in the past personality” can be found Triton Tungsten Ring collection. Here you will see an arrangement of classic and sleek designs that are in style forever.

Secure Your Belongings

My boyfriend lives in a house with five different college guys. Since they are in college you can imagine how clean their home is, along with how many parties they have. It may sound ridiculous but installing a security camera for either your home, or either your son or daughters college home, is important. I can’t tell you how many times these guys have gotten expensive things stolen from them after having “friends” over. This just goes to show you can’t trust everyone that walks through your door and that’s scary.

Just yesterday they discovered three missing remotes, a missing golf club and shoes. How random of things to steal but nonetheless keeping your safety and items safe is a major issue. Now I’m sure your thinking that security cameras are expensive for college students but they really aren’t and who can put a price on safety. You never really know who is in your neighborhood, or your home in this matter, so keeping things locked up and surveillance is the answer. Check that off the shopping list!

Cardigans

The perfect little clothing option to dress up any outfit. My brother hates dressing up and he always feels like it unnecessary. I gave him this Calvin Klein cardigan to try out for special occasions. At first he told me I wasted my money, but a few days later we went to a wedding and he wore it. He looked so good and alot of women told him that, so ironically, I see him wearing more and more, and NOT for special occasions.

I think guys look good in cardigans, and you look really cleaned up and just clean. They are easy to dress up an outfit and go with anything you can think of. You can wear them to weddings, parties, to work, or just out with friends. I love them and my brother says that are comfortable on too. I’m so glad he is wearing it and he looks great in it!

Pick Up Accessories

I gave my boyfriend for his birthday accessories for his pickup. He already had seat covers and a steering wheel cover, but they needed to be replaces desperately. He had duct tape on half of the seat, and his steering wheel cover had holes in it and was falling apart. I put them in his pickup the morning before he left for work, and he didn’t even notice till he got home that night for supper.

When he finally did notice though, he loved them and was happy to have some new accessories in there. They look really good and I love them. No when I wear shorts, I don’t get duct tape stuck on me.  This is a great idea for any guy. Dress up dad’s vehicle or give it to your boyfriend. Any guy will like them. It just adds an extra pop to their vehicle. Father’s day is coming up next month, and if your looking for ideas, this is a great one.

Great Wedding Shower Gift

This was one of our top favorite gifts me and my husband got for a wedding shower gift. It’s a bed fan! I like a ton of covers on our bed, but he really only likes the sheet and a light weight cover. This fan has worked out really well so far for the both of us. It keeps us both happy and we sleep really well.

It keeps air moving through the sheets and covers for him to stay cool on his side, while I stay just right on my side. It’s a perfect gift to give to any couple. I can guarantee they will use it at some point in time. My son wants one now, because he complains and says that the house is always so hot, so we are going to let him try ours for a few days and see how he likes it. We love it and we sleep so much better to,it was an amazing gift to get.
