Choosing Cuff Links For Everyday Wear

By:  Ivan Cavric

Many believe that the way you choose to convey your outward appearance is a reflection of your true self. When you first meet someone, this is your opportunity to make a memorable first impression. If you dress to impress, the people around you will notice because whether or not they realize it, people often make decisions based on appearance. For a man, choosing the right cuff links may not seem important, but these small accessories may very well be the staple that pulls the entire look together.

 

If you want to dress to impress, this doesn't mean you have to wear uncomfortable shoes and a business suit every day. But, for a man who wears a suit to work, cuff links are a must. If he dresses business casual, which may mean a khaki pant and dress shirt, cuff links will be even more visible than when worn with a suit jacket. As a general rule, cuff links should be made of the same color metal as the belt buckle, watch or wedding band that a man wears. If the accessories match, it will lend to the fact that this is a well dressed man who takes the time to coordinate his look.

 

For those situations that do not require professional dressing, but rather are more appropriate for casual wear, cuff links can still be worn for a family reunion, a company holiday party or a first date. If you dress to impress, you do it according to the event and that is where accessory planning comes into play.

 

As important as it is to dress for success, it is equally important to dress for yourself. In order to know how to do this, you need to know which styles of cuff links suit you best and which are appropriate for your style of dressing.

 

Cuff links are available in either goldtone or silvertone, but premium designs are also often available in genuine gold and/or sterling silver. The precious metals are more expensive, but will last for a lifetime. If you are just experimenting with various styles of cuff links, the most economical choice will be goldtone or silvertone. These are easily found at any menswear store and even online, but the precious metal cuff links are more scarce in today's marketplace. They can, however, often be found in high-end menswear stores and even jewellers may carry cuff links in your choice of genuine gold or silver.

The Wisdom Of Uncertainty

Image
There is really only one certainty in life. Life is uncertain. We often live as though nothing will change, but it does. This continuous battle between wanting things to stay the same and finding that nothing does stay the same creates something inside us. This creation of constant change is a movement, a force of nature, and a guiding path.  This movement within us and outside us is the spirit of living, of which, we all take part in. None of us can predict the future. This creates uncertainty on the human level, yet we all learn to trust and even welcome change in the deepest part of who we are. No one is perfect, we wake up each day with the opportunity to create something different in every moment. When we come to expect the unexpected, we are beginning to trust in a wisdom greater than knowledge to lead us through each day. Religious communities call this the path of God, science calls this higher consciousness, but for our purposes - let's call this the path we were meant to

The Brutal Truth: Problems Are Just That - Problems!

Image
  In a world inundated with feel-good jargon about turning every hurdle into an opportunity, it's high time we cut the fluff and faced the raw reality: problems are problems, plain and simple. No sugar-coating, no fancy dressing them up as opportunities. It's time to call them what they are and tackle these issues head-on. Accept problems as problems, analyze them, and then do something about it. In a society that's obsessed with rebranding every hiccup as a golden chance for growth, This approach might seem refreshingly brutal, but it's exactly what we need in a world plagued by hand-holding and excuses. Let's face it; problems are not blessings in disguise. They're not cosmic nudges urging us towards enlightenment. They're simply roadblocks standing between us and our goals, threatening to derail our progress if left unaddressed. And pretending otherwise is not only delusional but downright detrimental to our success. So how do we navigate the treachero

How To Have A Great Time Gambling Without Losing Your Money

Image
By:  Ivan Cavric Gambling in a casino or online casino is supposed to be for fun, but for many people the casino is the place where some machine eats all their money, and they are broke after the first hour and have to go to the ATM to get more money.  If you are not an experienced gambler it may be best to stick to the slot machines, but the fact is that the casinos make most of their money from those one armed bandits. The easiest game in the casino is Roulette. The object of roulette is to guess what number the little ball will land on, which is not easy but there are other bets to make. In roulette you can bet on the color of the number the ball will land on, and since there are only two colors on the board it is a much safer bet. You can also bet on whether the ball will land on an even or odd number. If you are not an expert gambler and just want to have a good time you can also play keno. Keno is much like the lottery. You have a card marked with numbers 1 to 100, and depending
