It’s no secret that I am a t-shirts and jeans kind of a girl. I love graphic tees and especially the ones that you can customize. My oldest daughter is the same way! She has a closet full of clothes but, she would rather have a t-shirt any day. I recently started letting her design her own and order them online. She likes to be unique and also have them fit her personality. However, I think I’ve started something! Now all her friends want some like hers.

Using t-shirt printing companies have become very popular with sports teams, companies, and now us bloggers. I recently ran across another great site that provides high quality shirts at a good price. Street shirts are based in the UK but do ship to the US. They have tons of options to pick from. I admit I think we are getting addicted to creating custom t-shirts. Princess Jada has even jumped on board and loves order “princess type ones”

I was also impressed that you can create your very own Streetshop! Streetshops are your own online shops selling your designs, infinitely customizable, to your own followers. This would be perfect for raising funds for a charity, organization or team. Plus it cost you nothing!

So where do you order your custom shirts from?

When a woman gets engaged, she usually spends weeks staring at the ring and showing it off to her friends, family, and even strangers in the grocery store. A wedding ring is a piece of jewelry that stays with you, presumably, forever. Aside from perfectly fitting the woman’s hand, a wedding ring must be able to endure soaking in dish water, spit-up accidents, and various other mishaps that come with being a wife and mother. But what about men – why isn’t more thought put into their wedding rings?

Unlike a woman’s wedding ring, men usually prefer their wedding rings to be simple and sturdy. It needs to be able to survive dirt, oil, scratches, and dent-causing smashes against inanimate objects. If your husband, or future husband, is in need of a sturdy wedding ring, Tungsten and silver are often popular choices for men’s wedding rings. 

Men’s tungsten rings are simply brilliant! When you’ve got a husband that works with his hands, you need a ring that can survive through anything – fire, water, sand, and pressure! Tungsten rings are durable and virtually un-scratchable. They can withstand some of the harshest environments without losing their finish and shine!

The best thing about tungsten rings is that they come in a variety of styles. You can have the durability of a tungsten ring in a design that suits your wardrobe and budget. Black tungsten rings for men are priced affordably, many less than $200! This means you can get your husband a wedding ring to outlast the marriage for less than $200! If you want to make an amazing ring even more special, tungsten rings are great for engraving. Engraving a tungsten ring truly makes it one of a kind and a piece of jewelry your man will be happy to wear.

 

I’m not talking about how Jameson car bombs are all the rage these days, sorry to disappoint anybody who thought so. No, I’m here to encourage the thought that those of us with Irish in our blood and proud of it shouldn’t have to sit around between April and February of the following year waiting to let it out with pride. Saint Patrick’s Day shouldn’t be the only time it’s okay to be proud to be Irish.

It’s sad to say, however, that anyone who wears a bright-green sweater or dress outside the month of March is typically going to catch the wrong kinds of stares. However, there’s a steadfast item of style that will not only continue to be fashionable, but also gives you a way to show off your heritage all year round.

I’m talking about emerald jewelry. The stone evokes Irish thoughts of the lush green hills and fields rolling out to the rocky outposts of Ireland’s jutting black shores. It was Irish poet William Drennan who made the first known connection between his land and the emerald, and it’s been the adopted precious stone of the Irish ever since.

Emerald naturally catches the eye, but its gleam is as modest as it is majestic. This is because of the signature green color which draws our thoughts towards nature and away from the spoilage of man’s tinkering. There’s a certain down-to-earth attractiveness of the emerald that defines Irish ideals and the Irish way of life in general. Diamonds, blue sapphires, rubies, and other glowing gems are all beautiful in their own right, but the emerald alone represents the exquisiteness of nature reduced into a single sliver of earthly rock.

Emerald rings, necklaces, brooches, and earrings all do a terrific job displaying Irish heritage without making too big a deal about it. If Saint Patrick’s Day is the opportunity to display your pride lavishly, then the other 364 days of the year are for simply being unassumingly Irish. After all, that’s how the Irish like to live. The emerald represents the undying bond between Mother Ireland and her children. Be a good child of the Emerald Isle and take a piece of her wherever you go

If you live in a rural area, then you know how difficult it can be to get cable service at your home. The further away from a big city you live, the harder it can be to find a cable company in your area. This is why satellite is becoming more and more popular. Since a satellite dish doesn’t require lines to be run underground, it can be mounted anywhere and still get signal! Satellite dishes don’t just give you television; they can be used to access the internet! Unlike cable service providers, there’s usually more than one satellite internet service provider in your area which gives you more of an option in your internet provider.

If you’re worried about internet speeds, don’t be! Satellite competes wonderfully with cable connection and offers amazing connection speeds. Satellite internet providers in atlanta and other areas also offer an assortment of internet speeds, not just 1 or 2. Some offer up to 6 speeds that give the customer a wider spectrum of prices to choose from; which is sure to fit any budget.

Maybe you’re wondering exactly how satellite internet works. When you connect your computer to a satellite modem, the satellite, which is connected to the modem, sends and receives emails, web site pages, files, etc. To the user, there is no difference between cable and satellite (aside from the fact that not all cable providers can match the speed of satellite).

Don’t be fooled by those cable gimmicks. You can save money and headache with satellite internet service. Using a satellite dish instead of cable is a great option whether you live in the city or the country, so check out a service provider in your area!

When school starts up again this year,  I think my daughter will be trying her hand at a musical instrument. She hasn’t quite decided what she wants to play, but I’m hoping that whatever it is, it’s the quietest of its kind!
