Smelling Nice Shouldn’t Be Expensive

Have you ever given the slightest thought to what a perfume can do for you? Many might not pay any attention to this matter and others might not give perfume enough credits it deserves. Did you know that you can improve your overall look and derive great benefits from just spritzing a little perfume on your body? Your makeup and attire might be on point but with a little dash of fragrance all will be elevated to a level you never know you can get to. However, yes, the price of a bottle of perfume might be just a little too high for your liking, which may also be the reason why you do not give it the attention it should have gotten. Smelling nice should not be expensive. Perfumes should be accessible to anyone wishing to add a little something to improve their appearance and how they best present themselves before anyone else. And if that is what you are after at the moment, the answer could be found in the form of some pure perfume oils. Never heard of them? Not to worry; let’s talk about them a little more, shall we?

Smelling Nice Shouldn’t Be Expensive

Why Perfume Oils?

Most of you may have been familiar with what perfume is. Even kids know about it and other varieties derived from it. But did you know that there might be some alcohol in the perfume you wear? Did you know that it could be harmful to you wearing something with alcohol content in it? Perfume oils, on the other hand, contain zero percent alcohol so they are quite okay for direct use on the skin. However, safe as they might be, beware of how you apply the oil you have chosen.

Some Basic Thoughts on Reducing Your ‘Noise Footprint’

Some Basic Thoughts on Reducing Your 'Noise Footprint'

Some Basic Thoughts on Reducing Your 'Noise Footprint'Technological advancement is a double-edged sword in a lot of different ways. Case in point: the modern world is, quite simply, too loud. Animals experience unnatural stress due to noise pollution, and this can have permanent and harmful effects on their behaviour. The problems can spread deep within an ecosystem, affecting plants as well as animals. When chronic noise drives off species that pollinate flowers and spread seeds, plants and trees suffer, too.

The harmful effects of human-made noise pollution don’t exclude its creators. A recent New Yorker article highlighted the negative impact noise pollution has on public health for humans. Potential problems include hearing damage, heart disease, low birth weight, high blood pressure and chronic sleep disruptions.

It is not going too far to say that we’re at risk of killing ourselves with the noises we make.

Today an increasing number of people are conscious of the environmental impact their lives have. The term ‘carbon footprint’ has achieved wide-scale acceptance; perhaps it is time to give ‘noise footprint’ the same attention. Noise pollution is a difficult problem to tackle, particularly from an individual point of view. Many of the loudest offenders are communal or commercial activities, such as shipping, manufacturing and logging. There is still a role that environmentally-conscious citizens can play, though! You can take steps to reduce the amount of noise you contribute to your community’s soundscape.

Some Basic Tips for Reducing Your Noise Footprint

1) Get A Better Understanding of Noise Pollution around You

Garret Keizer, the author of a book called ‘The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want,’ offers a useful exercise: sit down in your home, close your eyes, and concentrate on all of the noises you can hear.

Utility holdall

A good holdall can have myriad uses, especially if you need to carry your gym gear, a tablet, stationery and a packed-lunch. This season’s leather or canvas holdalls are the ultimate in luxury men’s accessories and are equally useful for a weekend in Paris as a Monday workday via the gym.

The new briefcase

Briefcases have been given a thoroughly modern makeover of late and are the bag of choice for men who want to look stylish but have the kind of job whereby they need to keep bits of paper flat! Today’s uber-stylish briefcases have softer edges and more supple materials, basically more like large leather folders than big, hard boxes. A full range of work-ready options are available in muted or dark colours, plus a few flamboyant choices for those who work in the creative industries. Most have traditional carry handles, with smart options also having cross body straps incorporated to keep your hands free on the commute and your bag less easy to steal.

Pouches and folders

Men who just need to carry around a small tablet and a bit of paperwork may prefer a stylish pouch or folder.

A smart pouch is the perfect accessory to offset an already sharp outfit, such as mens designer clothes from stockists such as EJ Menswear.
