Posted on October 2, 2019 by Krissyar

A saying goes like “fashion can be bought, but style one must possess.” With ever-changing fashion and style trends, it seems like there is a lot to know about a good style, and yes, there is! However, looking sharp than other guys is legitimately simple and merely requires a little know-how of what looks great on you and what is trending. Many will advise you to follow the latest fashion trends, and others would pass their styling tips to you. Finding your style and carrying it like a pro is what matters a lot because fashion fade style is eternal!

Whether you want to leave that first impression on people or you just want to look good without being too flashy, the way you carry yourself defines your personality. All you need to do is to remember that you have to look like a better-dressed version of yourself. If you are here to know how you can style yourself sharp, then we got you covered. Below you’ll find out some major styling tips which you might have seen but never embraced. To learn about them, be sure to stick to this article!

 

Carry Your Suit Well

Wearing a suit is not enough carrying it well makes it look good! “Dressing well is a practice of good manners,” says Tom Ford. Though you may think that you can get away with any of the suits, then you are wrong. Finding your perfect fit is the key to the good looking suit. Plus you need to put under consideration a lot of other things too. For example, you’ll need other accessories as well, to tie the whole look together. These accessories may include a tie, pocket squares, cufflinks, tie clips, and lapel pins for men. A suit that fits you well and all these accessories altogether make a perfect outfit for men which they can pull off on a wedding, office dinner, and other executive events.

Pick Belt or Suspenders

Most men make the mistake of wearing both a belt and suspenders at the same time, which in no doubt is a fashion blunder. Certain rules have been made decades ago, which are still followed in the fashion industry, and this is one of them. For the perfectly styled outfit, you do not want to make the same mistake. Either you pick a belt, or you’ll choose suspenders to wear.

 

Own More Shoes

Your shoes can make or break your style game! How many pairs of shoes do you own? If not many, then you have to get your hands on a few different types of shoes. You should know about the fact that people judge your status by the type of shoes you wear. Yes, it is true, but still, they are often overlooked. Therefore, you need to own a few pairs of shoes at least one for each type of outfit. Be it formal, casual, semi-formal, etc. If you have a pair that goes perfectly with all the styles, then your style arsenal is complete.

 

Invest in a Good Watch

When it comes to men styling we cannot finish it off without even mentioning wristwatch. Undoubtedly, it is a piece of art which pulls together the whole outfit. You have to invest in at least one good watch. Trust me it is that one item on which after splurging you won’t regret.

Need a Relationship Without the Drama? Here’s Where to Look

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Krissyar

Dating can be tough – especially nowadays when there’s photo filters, fake profiles, and airbrushing! If you are tired of the same ol’ same ol’, and you are ready for a mature relationship, you should check out cougar dating.

A ‘cougar’ woman is just a woman who is passionate about love and life and usually date men who are a bit younger than them. Sometimes it can be known as being a bit ‘taboo’ or just sexual, and that’s not always the case. Some men are tired of  the games and drama that comes with dating younger women – and older women sometimes get sick of dating older men who turn into ‘fuddy duddys’ – so the site makes perfect sense! 

The women on the site are confident , classy, and just ready to get out there and enjoy life! 

The website attracts men in their 20s, 30’s, 40’ (and even some hotties in their 50’s) and down to earth, sophisticated and classy (and a bit sassy) mature women. You don’t get the drama like you do with younger girls on the site, no bad attitudes, and you can chat with people and meet in a safe, friendly environment with no pressure! ‘Cougar’ dating is less taboo than it was in the past, and society has gradually came to accept that women in certain age category should not be critiqued for wanting to live life and enjoy it! 

It does seem that women of a certain age arouses curiosity in younger men – and it’s not hard to see why. Of course the definition of a cougar is a classy, sultry vixen who has their own money and own life. Confident, alluring and always at ease. Why wouldn’t younger men be attracted to them?

 

Most of the women on the site want a down to earth, easy going man that they can go out and have a good time with. Most of them don’t require to be wined and dined necessarily, they want a man who is full of life and energy (in and out of the bedroom!) Most don’t care how much money you make or even what you do for a living – they just want to keep the spice in their life!

Whether you are looking for something different, something just for fun, or maybe a long term relationship without all the drama, the cougar dating site is the place to look! I have heard soo many success stories from both men and women who have used the site My Cougar Dates, take a look:
Josh, 33

I’ve dated a few ladies in my time, a lot of them have been around the same age as me. I joined this site to see what everyone was talking about, I must say that I have had my mind blown a couple of times by some of these women!

Tracey, 46

Ever since my divorce I haven’t found a guy that can quite fill the gap. My curiosity led me to this site and now I can’t get enough of the men!

Becky, 48

I’ve always been into younger men, something about the energy they have in their youth attracts me. I signed up and found someone to date within 2 weeks, it’s been a great experience.

The Dominant and Sub Relationship: Is it Right for You?

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Krissyar

The Dominant and Submissive aspect of a relationship is apart of the BDSM lifestyle. Some people call it a ‘kink’. Some people are into all things you can think of when mentioning BDSM, and sometimes people like to pick and chose – like the dom/sub part of the equation.

In femdom dating , the Dom usually  ‘dominates’ the other, kind of has a ‘power’ over them, so to speak. A lot of people find it exciting, and as you know sex and power just seem to mix. Think of all the romance novels of the poor damsel in distress waiting for her knight in shining armor to rescue her – her strong, powerful prince coming to save her and control her.

What a Dom/ Sub Relationship is Like

If someone says they are a dom or they have a dom/sub relationship, it most likely includes (ok 110% pretty sure) includes power play in their sex life – and it usually rolls into the rest of their relationship as well. In a couple there is usually a dom and a sub, or sometimes there is a switch, which means they can be either.

Some people are a little into the dom/sub power exchange, like the “go get me a beer woman!” or a do this or that aggressor. Others will go all out, and the dominant person may not only order the sub around, but also restrain or punish them in some way. Sometimes they will act out fantasy roles, such as teacher/student, cop/robber, etc.

Though they are few and far between, some do this lifestyle 24/7. Others will just do it on the weekend, or a few nights a week. That power boss man who everyone cowers in fear of? He could be the sub at home; and visa versa. Most of the time you would never know the relationship of a sub/dom unless they told you about it.

Though the media seems to portray BDSM a bit negative – associating it with violence, danger, abuse and crime, real BDSM couples are way different than you would assume. Most are no different than you when it comes to their lives or upbringing, and probably are closer to a 50 Shade relationship then some psychotic thriller movie.

How Do You Get Started?
If you think you may be interested in a dom/sub relationship , the first and most important step is to communicate what is a go and what is a no-go sexually, and non-sexually. Who would play what role, and talk about what you would expect from each other. If you don’t have a partner, try a site to find mistress dating.

Create a list of all the sexual practices you can think of, and then each person writes yes/no or maybe about whether it would be something that you’d be willing to try or if it may be of interest to you. It can also be a good time to talk about fantasies or stories, and if you are interested in making them come to life. It is soo soo important that you only try what each other really wants to try, and that you aren’t forcing the other person to go along with what you want. (this can lead to other issues, and you don’t want that).

6 Tips to Help Your Student Be Successful in Online School

Posted on September 30, 2019 by Krissyar

As a parent, it can be a challenge to enroll your child in online school without having an educational background to help them when things get tough. But you don’t have to be a teacher to support your child in their mission to be successful online students. Here are a few ways that Acellus Academy recommends that can help you help your student succeed in online school.

1.      Get Started on the Right Foot

During the first few days of school, your student should be putting in extra effort. This is the perfect time to make sure that you know when coursework, papers, and projects are due. Read through all of the information given on the first day regarding what will be going on throughout the course. Then, you can make a calendar with your student to make sure that they always know when things are due.

Reading the syllabus is a great place to start. You could also contact the teacher and introduce yourself at this point so that if there are any questions later on, you already have a relationship built. Doing little things within the first week can really set your student up for success down the road.

2.      Create a Schoolwork Space

It is going to be really challenging for a student to get schoolwork done in a high-traffic area of your home. Instead, you need to find or create a space that allows for a quiet, productive work zone. When possible, make this space one with a door that can be closed. This way, when things get loud in the house, there is an area that allows for peace and quiet without distractions.

Many people would not recommend setting up a school space in your child’s bedroom. There are a lot of distractions in the bedroom. However, if that is what works best for your student, then there is nothing wrong with setting up an area of the bedroom for schoolwork.

3.      Figure Out Family/School Balance

When classwork is done in the home, it can be hard to ensure that there is an appropriate balance of school time and family time. Having a dedicated school space, as recommended above, can help with this potential problem.

A lot of online school parents like to make sure that their children are done with schoolwork at a certain time or on certain days to ensure that there is still adequate time to spend together as a family. Since you aren’t on a traditional schooling schedule, you can make whatever schedule works best for your family.

4.      Keep Them Motivated

Not all students are self-motivated. If your child isn’t a self-motivator doing online school, you might need to find ways to encourage them to get their coursework done. You might want or need to offer incentives for your child to help them get through the lessons that they don’t naturally enjoy. For example, maybe they get a reward for getting A’s throughout the school year or when they complete an especially challenging project or lesson.

5.      Consider a Tutor

There may be times when your student needs a little extra help with a certain subject. If you aren’t comfortable helping with the topic, it is a good idea to hire a tutor to help. Some online schooling programs have tutors available to help. Check out your options and find someone who can help your child succeed even when you can’t.

6.      Be Available

Sometimes, your child will need you to help them with a lesson or be there for encouragement. It may be that they need a break, and they want to talk to you about what they are learning. No matter the reason that your child needs you, be there for them during their schooling.

It isn’t easy doing online school. It isn’t nearly as easy for online schoolers to have conversations with other people throughout the day, so the parents and other family members are who they turn to for support and guidance.

Online schooling can be a great option for children of all ages. When you decide to do online schooling, it will take an adjustment, but when you are there to support your child, they can find a lot of success in this non-traditional schooling technique.

Affordable SVG Bundles for Almost Everything

Posted on September 29, 2019 by Krissyar

Two years ago I purchased my first Cricut machine, and for the past 2 years I have had the most absolute fun crafting. I am usually not a super crafty person (not that I didn’t like doing crafts, it’s just well, they didn’t turn out very well), but with the Cricut something just clicked. Maybe it’s because I LOVE clothes, and being able to make my own t-shirts was super appealing to me.

What I love about the Cricut (or even the Silhouette machines) is that you can either do your own design, and personalize as you’d like (including the colors, sizes, names etc) or you can make a super simple shirt or sign using an SVG file.

If you aren’t sure what an SVG file is, it’s pretty much a file that can be converted into a system (such as the Cricut Design space) to create an image on a product, such as a shirt, canvas, etc.

As you can see above , you can find some really cute SVG files online to make some really cute gifts (the oven mit above was a Christmas gift for my sons teacher – well a part of it. It includes cookie mix, a spatula, and then a gift card as well. It was a huge hit!)

The first year I got my machine coming up with my own designs was a piece of cake. I had many ideas over the years, and I just hadn’t bought a machine yet, so as soon as I did, I made shirts and bags and decor constantly. (Like literally working on my machine every night and every weekend!). Once I finally exhausted my list of ideas and motivation, as holidays and events would start coming up, I had to go looking for inspiration for shirts.

The only ‘catch’ to some of these great SVG files that you find, is the cost. When you are paying $3-6 per SVG file on Etsy, plus the t=shirt, plus the vinyl (not to mention your time) this affordable crafting hobby, starts to get a little on the pricey side.

However, I did fine a bit more affordable route. If you find great sites like designbundles.net, you can get a legit entire bundle of designs for a particular type of event or holiday – such as Christmas, Halloween, Birthdays, etc – for quite a deal!

For example you can get this 4th of July SVG bundle for less than $3! Purchasing SVG bundles makes it a lot more affordable to make shirts for family and friends (or even to sell at your local craft fairs, or Facebook groups). Pair that with the great deals you can find on t-shirts at JoAnns and Michaels (and sometimes even Walmart) and buy your vinyl in bulk from an online retailer, and your gifts (or your business) will saves tons of money!

When you purchase the bundle, an SVG ZIP file will be sent to you, that you will need to download to your computer, and then upload to your Cricut (Or Silhouette) design space , to be resized, etc, and cut for your t-shirts, or other decor items.
