Funny tshirts are in. They are cool, original, and something you want to wear to set yourself appart. Who doesn’t love the feeling of getting approached by a stranger telling you that he/she loves your shirt and that it makes them laugh.
Probably the main reason you and I want to wear a funny tshirt is for the social purpose it conveys. You want people to love you for it, and to be amused by your tee. And if you choose the right shirt, you certainly will get this result.
However there are a few things you need to consider when you are wearing your funny shirt:
1) You want it to completely match your style and personality. You don’t want to be wearing a shirt that claims you’re a mean drinker (for example) and you are as docile as a hindu cow who has never touched a drink. You want to match your personality traits and find a shirt that expresses that in a funny way.
2) You want to have the right atittude when it comes to using your shirt. Remember, wearing something as extravagant as a funny shirt means you also need to have a certain flair that brings attention to yourself. The right attitude means getting approached more by people in a bar or a social enviroment.
If you only use the shirt as a attention drawer and let your personality do the rest, then you are wearing a funny tshirt in the right way. If you just expect your shirt to carry on the conversation then the joke is on you, since a funny tshirt is all about the first impressions, you take care of the rest.
3) Never mind the haters. Whenever you are wearing something that is not withing society’s “standard limits” then you can surely expect a few people making fun of you or completely hating you, it comes with the territory.
Be sure to be with the right attitude whenever you are wearing your funny tshirt and just keep it cool and aloof. Have fun wearing it yourself and you will do great.
In summary, keep those things in mind, and you can sum wearing your funny shirt in one word: confidence.

When you get ready for a dinner, or to go out with your friends do you spend hours in front of the wardrobe searching for something to wear?
Is your closet brimming with clothes yet somehow, you still have nothing suitable for the occasion?
You are not alone.
It simply means that it is time to reorganize your wardrobe.
Put it simply, what you don’t see, you probably wouldn’t wear. Chances are, the perfect outfit for the occasion is hiding somewhere in your closet. You just don’t see it. Looking for it is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
First, prepare yourself to be brutal. Set aside an entire afternoon (or day) for your wardrobe spring cleaning. (or winter cleaning, whatever)
Keep only what you will wear and throw out everything else. I mean it.
First, go through everything to see if it still fits you. If the item fits, put it in the keep pile. If it doesn’t, put it in the discard pile.
Now go through the keep pile. Is anything there really out of fashion? Don’t wait for it to get back in fashion. If that look every comes back, you can buy a new, more updated version. Put all these outdated item in the discard pile.
If you are broke, you can sell the items in the discard pile on ebay. If you want help the needy, you could donate the clothes to a worthy charity. If you like second hand clothes, you could hold a clothes swap session where you exchange these clothes with your pals for something you would probablly wear.
Now that you have significantly pared down your keep pile, time to sort it out. What are the items not appropriate for the current season. Fold these up nicely and store them in drawers lined with scented paper so they will smell fresh when the season is right for them.
Iron the clothes you have left in your keep pile. Sort them by type of clothing and color and prepare to keep them in your closet. Do the same for your bags, shoes and the rest of your accessories.
Organize your wardrobe. Make it really easy to find what you want at a glance. Get some closet organizers to help you make full use of the space of your wardrobe and to organize your stuff so you know where to find what you want when you want it.
Pack your keep clothes and accessories back into the closet, sorted by color, type and function so you can find what you want at a glance.
Take stock of your wardrobe. Do you really have nothing to wear?
Look at your daily schedule. Do you have clothes that will carry you through all the events in your daily schedules? Write down the events that you really don’t have anything to wear to.
Look through your appointments. Do you have something to wear for every one of these appointments? For every one of these functions? Take note of the functions or appointments which you need to buy clothes for.
Now go through all the events where you probably would not have anything to wear. What are the items that could take you through these events? List them down. Then go and shop for them.
You can find the clothes you really need at http://www.buyclothing.net and some gorgeous shoes at http://www.shoes-mall.net.

Are you stressed out? Could you use a break? If I gave you a nickel for every time you heard the word Moooommmmmyyyy - would you be rich? Well, we have all been there! With babies, toddlers and older children to care for along with cooking meals, paying bills, cleaning and playing taxi, finding time for yourself may seem impossible and when you do find a few quiet minutes, many of us are at a loss for what to do.
Taking time out to recharge your batteries is just what you need. So, what’s stopping you? Leave your chores behind, just for a little while, and give yourself permission to take a much needed time-out.
Here are just a few of my favorite Stress-Busters:
Put yourself in time out: Allow some alone time for yourself. Use this time to focus on you. Find a place in your home that you can go to and find privacy. You can ask your partner or a friend to take the family out for a few hours while you enjoy your alone time. Do nothing, sleep, read, watch a movie, and just enjoy your solitude.
Talk to a friend: When you are feeling stressed, lean on a good friend. Sit down and enjoy a good conversation, a cup of coffee or a girls day out pampering yourself. Moms find great comfort, support and love in the company of close friends.
Play: As adults, we sometimes forget the beneficial value of play. Play stimulates our imagination, encourages our creativity, boosts our energy, and best of all, it is fun. Try a game of tennis, a game of cards online or perhaps invite some friends over for an evening of adult board games.
Meditate: Meditation has been proven to reduce your blood pressure, and helps to dramatically reduce your stress level. Meditation and/or prayer will help you to keep in touch with your spiritual side. Meditation is a very effective method of relaxation. To meditate, quiet your mind and allow yourself to focus on one thing, such as your breath. Find a relaxed comfortable position where Try visualizing good health and peace as you inhale. While you are breathing out breathe out all of your stress. Set aside approximately 20 minutes for this exercise. Upon completion, you will see just how much more relaxed your mind and body is.
Take a nap: Find a quiet, comfortable spot and take a nap. Even a short power nap can leave you feeling refreshed, renewed, and more focused. Studies have shown that people who spent 30 minutes each day napping had one third less heart disease than those who didn’t nap.
Eat: Not just anything but certain things. Studies show that certain foods can help reduce stress. Carbohydrates, will actually soothe you. Good sources of carbohydrates include rice, pasta, potatoes, breads, air-popped popcorn and low-calorie cookies. Experts suggest that the carbohydrates present in just one baked potato or a cup of spaghetti or white rice, is enough to relieve the anxiety of a stressful day.

Many designers of women’s fashion boots don’t always appear to make boots for their public. I notice that the simple elegant lines of the Isaac Mizrahi Saxton boot make it impossible to keep in stock. The only way to explain why the primitive looking short classic Ugg Australia boot can be difficult to find in many women’s sizes must be its unencumbered look greatly appeals to people. Time and time again it’s not the ornate boot designs that sell out to the masses. You can get those in all sizes at any online boot dealer. It’s the basic models that disappear so quickly. So why do boot designers continue to offer the public so many models covered in belts, buckles, fringe, odd toes or little pieces of fur? Why detract from a perfectly good boot by choking the design? Do these styles actually sell? Well I believe I learned the truth in a round about way.
I once worked for a surf-clothing manufacturer. And while we didn’t make boots, the experience made me realize the factors of why some products sell out and others do not.
I was always shocked that our main designer would design what I considered daffy styles that had little hope of selling. And many of them didn’t. It made no sense to me because time and time again our best sellers were basic but elegant styles. Our biggest selling surf trunk was an all black nylon trunk. It had classic lines and killer triple stitching but it wasn’t amazing. The public sure loved it though. We sold thousands of them. I was in charge of inventory so I saw what sold.
In another example, at one point we couldn’t move very many hats. I remember suggesting the designer also design a simple black hat with a small white logo on it. He fought against my idea. “It’s boring,” he said but finally relented. The hat became our biggest seller.
So why do designers and manufacturers defiantly continue to try to produce what does not sell? I believe there are several factors that enter into this.
One reason I feel this happens is partly due to ego. Many artists have this trait and designers of boots, shoes and clothing are no different. Especially in the expensive high-end women’s fashion boots. Boot designers like most creative people just want to do what they want to do without so much regard to the business end of things. It’s about their art and being fabulous. It’s about topping themselves season after season. It’s not about what the public likes until the designer loses his job for being out of touch with what the public wants. Then things change.
It’s an old argument between artists and business people. For a fine example of what often happens when art and business butt heads, look at Isaac Mizrahi. He mainly designed fabulous clothing, shoes and fashion boots for his friends and models. Each 6 months he would try to top his previous line with something more wild and crazy. Then when his company would hit a style the public continued to clamor for, he’s stop producing it because he got bored designing it. In the end he and his company lost steam. (Happily he is now reinvigorated with a new deal he signed with Target and appears to see the business light. Now he designs for the masses and enjoys the strong sale numbers of simple well designed products.)
So while ego is likely one reason in some cases, the rest has to do with merchandising, marketing, branding and retail store buying. The general idea for boot and shoe manufacturers is to get as many styles out on the market that they can. They want to offer lots of different looks to hopefully get more merchandise in the stores. Designers are just creating as much stuff as they can to see what sticks. But ultimately the store buyers will pick out what they think the public will buy and they stock those styles. The funny thing is no one really knows what will sell. They think they know but mostly they guess. So if the store buyers guess wrong, those styles sit on the racks. Hence a lot of ugly women’s boots are still available or soon going on sale.
Now of course the crazy designs can get press and are sometimes designed just for that reason. At the surf clothing company I worked we offered a surf trunk that retailed for $100. This was the first of its kind since most surf trunks retailed around $45. No one had ever done this before. It was outlandish. The trunk had tons of bells and whistles on it including numerous pockets, a stay dry container and a compass. The designer and marketing director actually designed it together thinking it wouldn’t sell more than 30 units. It was more about garnering press for our little company than anything else. Funny thing happened was it actually sold several hundred units and we were forced to make a production run of it. Who knew that would happen? In the process we did get tons of press and became known for this extravagant trunk as well as our basic best sellers. Mission accomplished.
This is the very reason I believe Harley Davidson puts out so many men and women’s motorcycle boots that are adorned in crap. No other boot manufacturer has more variations of the bizarre and wild motorcycle boot than Harley does. Their boots are known for this, which continues to build their brand recognition. I can’t imagine they sell some of those gaudy models. Harley also brands their products louder than all other boot makers by placing huge logos on nearly every style. Again it seems funny to me that many of the more outlandish models are easy to find but try to find a plain Harley Davidson engineer boot and you’ll be hard pressed.
So from all this we can deduce that while ego plays a small part in the reason why more simpler women’s fashion boot designs aren’t available on the market, more of the reason lies in merchandising, marketing, and branding practices of boot manufacturers as well as the buying efforts on the part of retail store buyers.

Fashion is a simple concept. You dress yourself and your home in clothes and accessories that are ‘in’. By using the trendy brands and designers out there, you may think it is quite easy to do this though. In fact, in order to add fashion to your life you need to know a thing or two about it. Sure, you could go out and just purchase items that you like and that have a highly recognizable brand to them, but if you do not combine items in the right way, you could be a walking disaster. But, then again, not all of us have been schooled in knowing what fashion is and what disaster is.
Besides taking fashion courses, you can learn a lot about fashion right online. No need to purchase all of those trendy magazines if you can find answers right online, right? Honestly, look for the things that you like the most. For example, do you like how colors work together? Do you enjoy patterns? Do you like to be comfortable or are you willing to forgo this for high style? By using the styles and patterns you enjoy the most, you are sure to create a look that is truly your own, in a good way.
To keep fashion within a budget, look for your favorite designer and then find pieces that have the same texture and cut that are not name branded. Because they will look like that of the high priced designer they will still give you the high fashion sense that you are looking for with a much smaller expense. You can find similar looking pieces everywhere so this is not necessarily a difficult process.
You can add fashion to your home by taking the same concepts that you enjoy using with your outfits and using it in your home. By using the same fabrics, colors, and styles, you can take an average, dull looking home and make it something fabulous and definitely worth sharing.
No matter what you do, adding fashion to your life can be a great way to add a sense of life and style to your everyday existence. If looking good is a quality that you want then you can find it when you look for ways to add fashion into your life. You’ll be surprised at how easily you can do this! Since most of us are on a limited budget, you’ll see that finding unique pieces that fit within your life that are not weighted down with designer labels are out there as well. Fashion can be your friend if you give it a chance

Gone are the days when companies focused solely on their stockholders. Nowadays, it is vital for companies, regardless of their respective scopes of operations, to keep in mind the safety, comfort, and good working conditions of their employees. Most multinational companies have even come up with their own set of rules in implementing proper human rights practice.
Since its conception in the 1930s, Unilever has maintained its thrust of providing quality home, health, and personal care; and food products. Over the years, the company has also remained firm in its practice of conducting business well within the boundaries of human rights.
Adopting a Code of Business Principles, Unilever actively advocates human rights. A section of the company’s codes assures employees of their right to freedom of association. The code also abhors and refrains from the practice of forced and child labor, which have slowly become rampant in the past years. In 2006, their youngest employees from Germany, Switzerland, and the United States, though only 15 years of age, had all fully complied with their respective countries’ labor legislations.
Unilever is also proud to disclose that the wages they pay exceed the set minimum wage and that almost 40% of their employees are actively engaged in trade unions.
To further expand their human rights support, Unilever works closely with other companies and with labor and civil society organizations in coming up with programs and projects geared towards the promotion of human rights.
The company is a founding signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, which seeks to commit businesses to adhere to various human rights standards and principles.

Success in life depends on many factors. Relationship is one of them. Do successful people have better friendships? Is their any relation between art of making friends and success? How to make friends who remain for a lifetime?
What is success?
Everyone of us has his/her own definition of success. An artist feels successful after creating a beautiful painting and a business person feels successful if the business makes profits. Each of us has his/her own parameters that decide success in our life. How do our friendships affect our success?
Happiness and success?
A successful person is essentially a happy person. Happiness means - to feel satisfied with life in most of the ways and to maintain a state of mind that is contented. Our friendships are part of our life. If we want to succeed, we will also have an art of making good friends and keep friendships strong through-out our life.
Maintaining friendships. How?
How to maintain friendships that last? The art is in giving rather than expecting. Share your friends’ worries, concerns and happiness. Join them on all occasions that are important to them. Congratulate them at every success, express empathy at every loss and share joy at every success or any enjoyable occasion.
The role of Internet in keeping contacts-
In the earlier times, when the internet was not there, talking on telephones, sending letters and meeting personally were the preferred methods of keeping in touch. After the advent of Internet, emailing and chat are slowly replacing these earlier ways.
How to make more impact?
Would you prefer to send a one line congratulations mail to your friends on their birthdays, their anniversary, their promotion and all such other occasion when they are feeling special? What if you search the net and select an ecard or greeting card and send it? Does it make a difference? It surely does. It tells your friend that you took some effort in sending a message. Stop sending plain emails and start sending ecards to connect with your friends on days and occassion that are special. You will find the differenece in quality of relationship very soon.
Try it.

Finding custom jeans can be very difficult and expensive. Designers like Diesel and Seven offer hand made jeans that make each pair somewhat unique. To get the best custom look from these designers, the faded and worn jeans offer more hand made customization that can almost double the price. Getting just a couple of pairs can run you around $400. For most of us that could be rent or a nice car payment. There are ways that you can get around spending so much and get jeans so custom that nobody will have the same ones.
There are two ways to get the best custom jeans. You can customize jeans that you already have to update your look or you can shop for new jeans at a discounted price. The key finding new jeans is to look for jeans that you like, but they do not have the fading or tears that are trendy right now. Designer jeans like this are always the cheapest of their denim line. To find great sales you can ask sales people in finer clothing establishments about upcoming sales because they are used to trying to get a personal relationship with their customers. If they do not know about any upcoming sales, ask if they have a customer list that will call you when there is a sale. Most good sales people will do this.
When you have selected a pair of jeans that you want to customize, old or new, you will need to get one tool. The best tool for customizing is called a Dremel. It is a small high speed drill that comes with various attachments for all kinds of jobs. You can also use a drill if you already have one, but the shape of conventional drill is not optimal for this job. For a drill, you will need to buy a horizontal sanding bit.
With your Dremel or drill you are going to use the attachment that has a thimble shaped end wrapped with sandpaper. Set the speed to about 2000 rpms and start wearing down the edge of the leg opening. This is a good place to start because all faded jeans are worn here. Get a feel for how is wears through the fabric. Then you can move to the front and rear pockets. After that, use your imagination to wear them wherever you like. Good places to include some wear are the knees and thigh. Remember that you want them to look different. Come up with a new idea that no one has seen before. You can duplicate a pair you have seen if you like as well. The Dremel tool is a good investment for this job because you can use it on future pairs of jeans as well as hats, belts and canvas sneakers.
