Mens fashion is no oxymoron

thelimey — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 18:10:11 +0000

Many women will spend hours choosing their wardrobe, while the average guy will slip on a t-shirt and jeans and declare themselves dressed. But creating a sharper, more upscale appearance for guys is really not as tough as it seems.

Most department stores sell enough women’s clothes to fill six city blocks, while their menswear range is a closet. But that imbalance is slowly correcting and the range of men’s clothing now offers far wider choice.

If you have a yen to upgrade your appearance, the retail world could now meet your needs. Try that link to see some truly excellent options. Then try out your couture and prepare for some fun…

July is the most popular month among those getting married, and once the bells have gone silent and the rice gets swept away most newlywed couples start to plan for a future.

A key factor in this planning is term life insurance. Years ago, such a project required dozens of phone calls and forms to fill out, but modern advances mean you can now get term life insurance quotes online, in no time at all.

If you’re planning a marriage, either now or to come, the peace of mind derived from insurance is something both of you need…

Phentermine now has a big rival

thelimey — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 21:01:59 +0000

If you’ve ever tried to lose weight you know how how frustrating it is. Most products you can buy at the drug store don’t work, and those that do are all on prescription and therefore very expensive.

Well, science may now have the answer – generic Phentermine.

Phentermine is an appetite suppressant that can really help move the pounds. But it’s also mildly addictive and can cause insomnia, headaches and increased nervous spells. And you need a prescription.

But Phentirmene is its generic double. Same effects, no addiction and no sleepless nights.

If your pants are too snug and you need to lose weight, this looks like the answer – try that link and you’ll see…

New multivitamin site saves you money

thelimey — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 21:33:58 +0000

Summer is the one time of year most people expect to feel healthy – Warm day, long balmy nights, no rain and an abundance of fruit at the store.

But it’s not always enough.

Most people’s lives are so stressed they barely eat, and when they do it’s often snack food and warmed-over meals. A course of multivitamins can help, but a lot of the pills you can find at the store are either expired or just made to be useless.

In answer to this ongoing problem a team of researchers has created a multivitamins review site that finally shows you the pills to avoid. If your diet could do with a boost, take a look – it could do you some good.

Insurance just got turned on its head

thelimey — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:42:09 +0000

Lloyd’s of London has been selling insurance since 1688, and Good Sam is one of the best known names in this country’s motoring history. So when the two get together to offer insurance, it’s something you need to check out.

Unlike most plans, Sam’s new mechanical breakdown insurance means you’re covered for whatever happens, wherever you are. You don’t have to push the broken-down heap fifty miles to an ‘authorized’ center, like most people do – You just find a repair shop and Sam pays the bills. And they’ll cover your hotel expenses while it gets fixed.

Now how sweet is that?

I don’t have Good Sam’s coverage myself, but this is certainly tempting. And considering how greedy other insurers can be, if you can find something like it I’d be quite surprised…

To Sleep…Fat Chance to dream

thelimey — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:29:42 +0000

I’m not sure who to thank, but whoever the genius was who invented the bed deserves both a statue and unending reward.

However tough life gets, there’s always a warm and welcoming haven into which you can fall at the end of the day. Five minutes in its protective embrace and the cares of the day give way to sleep, leaving you refreshed the next morning and ready and raring to face life anew.

At least, that’s the theory.

But not all of us have the most cooperative mattress, and eight hours on a sack full of rocks is less than helpful in coping with stress. So if you fancy a decent night’s sleep for a change, do some browsing and see what appears. That link’s pretty helpful so you could start from there…

Your car insurance is costing too much

thelimey — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:23:02 +0000

That glorious morning you get your first car and the road beckons you to explore is a memorable day. But so is the day you might get that car stolen.

We all love our cars, and the idea we’d be the victim of crime is not easy to take. But preparedness is no bad thing, and if you can get great coverage and save a few dollars, that has to be good.

Some insurance companies can really gouge you on prices, but low cost car insurance is not just a myth. That link is one source, but browse the web and see what you find…

Black Friday need not turn you blue

thelimey — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 22:11:20 +0000

The advance of the internet has been dazzling – ten years ago the idea of doing your Christmas shopping entirely online would have probably caused your friends to recommend therapy. Today, everyone buys online and thinks nothing about it.

Well, almost everyone.

Those few hardy souls who still insist on camping for hours outside stores in sub-zero weather on Black Friday, just to get the best deals are seen on some news shows, but even they are now realizing that’s almost insane.

The Internet’s benign intrusion into our lives is far from over, so ride the wave – do your bargain-hunting online and make Christmas more fun…

How You Can Save Big on Car Insurance

thelimey — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 22:10:23 +0000

Your car is probably the single most useful possession you own, and like all valuable things it needs good insurance. But the sheer scale of available offers and rates can put most people off. Some will just ’settle’ for the first decent quote they can find…and that’s a mistake.

Finding an affordable plan that was actually worth it used to be the result of hours with a phone book and notepad, calling pages of brokers who were rarely a great help. Not any more – you can now get car insurance with a few clicks of a mouse. You can even do the whole thing on your iPhone.

If you just ’settled’ for insurance, you’re almost certainly paying too much. Do yourself a favor – browse a while and see if you can’t save some cash…

America gets its geek on with Nintendo Wii

thelimey — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:48:08 +0000

Since its low-key arrival in 2006, the Nintendo Wii has transformed countless thousands of armchair-bound athletes into an army of game-playing geeks.

From Frisbee to fitness, golf to NASCAR, the Wii and its countless attachments have made an impact on this nation’s sports fans that would leave most promoters knee-deep in envious drool.

And it’s not over yet.

If you’re one of those legions who succumbed to its charms, you need to be aware that what Nintendo have so far produced is just the beginning. And you need a good place to get all the new gear as it gets released.

Search engines will help, but take a look at that link – from what I can tell, those people stock some wonderful gear…
