Treat Your Body Right In The New Year With The Body Shop

Treat Your Body Right In The New Year With The Body Shop

Harry | October 29, 2020August 13, 2021

Lately I’ve been searching for products that aren’t only better for my body, but that are good for my skin. Nautral is always better and when I started exploring all that The Body Shop has to offer, I got really excited. The Body Shop has a variety of products to choose from, ranging from skin care, to makeup, products for the home, and even body products for men! JoeShopping.com also has The Body Shop coupon codes and promotions, which includes free shipping on purchases $50 and over!

I’ve actually tried a few skin care products from The Body Shop and really like the way my skin feels and looks because of these fab beauty items. Plus, I haven’t had any problems with my skin breaking out, which is usually what I’m most concerned about. That and staying young of course! Here are beauty products from The Body Shop I recommend and don’t take my word for it, try The Body Shop yourself!

The Smoothing Day Cream feels great on my face and if you have combination skin (oily and dry), this is a great cream for you. This lotion improves your skin’s elasticity, protects your skin from sun damage, and decreases the appearance of fine lines on your face as well!

This cream also lasts up to 12 hours on your face (that’s 12 hours of moisture!) and is made out of awesome natural ingredients that I love: a Community Trade organic babassu oil from Brazil that smoothes and revitalizes skin.

I love it when my face feels fresh and clean after washing off all of the impurities after a day of wearing makeup. That’s why I love The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Cleansing Wipes. These wipes not only make your face feel super clean, they work to help prevent breakouts, tone your skin, and unclog those pores that turn into zits!

The Lemon tea tree and Community Trade tea tree oil from Kenya contains properties that help fight against acne as well as sweep away extra oil at the same time.

If you want your face all set to go for an evening of relaxation and then hitting the sack, try these cleansing wipes!

The Body Shop Round Body Brush is great as both a massager, exfoliating dead skin, and promoting healthy skin! Even though I don’t personally own this body brush, from the looks of it, it seems like a great buy. I get tired of using loofa brushes and I think this is the perfect alternative.

According to JoeShopping.com, this brush is “made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) beech wood, which means that the wood comes from well managed forests that are independently certified in accordance with the rules of the FSC.” Isn’t it great that you can help save the forests AND take care of your skin?!

The Body Shop also has great collections if you are wanting to try out multiple products at the same time. The Candied Ginger Body and Lip Care Collection is one example of the many collections that The Body Shop has to offer.

This particular collection includes a Candied Ginger Shower Gel, Candied Ginger Body Butter, Candied Ginger Body Scrub, and a Candied Ginger Lip Balm that all come together! Yay!

So why not start out the New Year right and treat your body right? I’m trying to take better care of my skin by spending less time out in the sun, cleaning my skin with products like the cleansing wipes more often, not wearing as much makeup that clog up my pores, and eating healthy.

Do you have any skin care goals for the New Year ahead?

Taking A Cue From The Limited Dresses That Wow

Harry | October 28, 2020August 13, 2021

Lately I have become obsessed with one style of clothing: dresses! I just cannot get enough of them and the fun patterns and colors that are available this summer. Bright bold colors are “in” right now, as are fun flirty shapes and styles. I like wearing dresses because I feel really feminine and super comfortable. They are so easy to grab and wear on hot summer days. Here’s a picture of my most recent dress find: an adorable bright printed maxi dress from TJ Maxx. I’m in love. : )

One store with a great selection of dresses that often gets left out is The Limited. I have only started shopping there more recently because I used to think that they only sold “fancy” professional looking clothing. I’m a nurse…I wear scrubs all day, so I have never needed office type clothes. I was so wrong, though. They have lots of casual pieces and tons of fun looks, especially in their dress choices. Keep reading and see what you think.

Here’s a few of my current faves:

This Stripe Colorblock Dress ($79.90) speaks right to my heart (most dresses do!). It’s a flattering shape with a bright pop of pink at the top and a feminine little tie around the waist. It looks chic on its own, but would look even more put together with a blazer and a pair of heels. Perfect for a night out with the girls!

Is this Asymmetrical Printed Panel T-Shirt Dress ($79.90) a scene stealer or what? I can just imagine how comfortable this t-shirt style dress would be. Add the fun bright pattern and this dress is a hit. The grey side serves to balance out the pattern and the sash defines the waist, which is something we all want, of course. I’m really hoping to add this dress to my collection soon.

This dress is made with one of my favorite fabrics: chiffon. The Forenza Belted Tank Dress ($108) is a light chiffon with fun pleats at the bust. The bright pop of orange adds some life and interest into the cobalt dress. It comes with the belt in the picture and can be worn with or without, depending upon your preference. I would love to wear this dress to a wedding that we have coming up!

I love the casual look of this dress…and that at the same time it’s a classic shape and color that would never go out of style. This Two-Tone Ponte Dress ($89.90) is a winner with the sweet full shape and the color choices. It’s a stretchy fabric that would be comfortable and soft. I think I’d wear this for date night since it’s casual and subtly sexy.

I have to end with my favorite type of dress right now: the maxi dress! It’s so effortlessly stylish and there’s no need to worry about it being too short. This Pleated Maxi Dress ($98) is absolutely adorable, from the black and grey pattern to the bright pop of blue. It’s a knit fabric with pleating in the middle to flatter your figure. I love that they made sure that the black was on the hip area since that’s always the area that we want to slim down. This dress screams summer barbecue/pool party.

Here’s two more that I can’t resist sharing because they are on SALE for under $60. I love that they have such great sale prices, so don’t forget to check out the sale section!

So, let’s be honest, all of those dresses are adorable and totally worthy of being in my (and your) closet. Believe me, I know…they are calling my name. Since The Limited can be a little pricey, don’t forget to check for Limited coupons to see if you can save a little money. Hey, if you save enough, maybe you can get another dress?! That’s how I like to think. : )

They are also having a buy one, get one 50% off sale right now with tops and jewelry. Win.

Do y’all ever shop at The Limited? Which dress is your favorite?

Workout Out Gear That Will Keep You Going Strong

Harry | October 28, 2020August 13, 2021

Since I’m stationed in California for about a month (no, I’m not a Marine), I have begun a workout schedule that I’m determined to stick to.

I’ve decided I’m going to workout on the elliptical, go to spinning classes, and try a water aerobics class 5-7 times a week. Maybe if I’m feeling bold I’ll try some other classes as well such as kick boxing. I’m looking forward to getting fit and staying fit while implementing my new workout program.

So in follow up to my Getting Fit post, I thought I would write another post with more workout clothing and accessories that will help all of us stay motivated to keep our workouts going strong.

Now that I’ve kicked my workouts into high gear, I need some new workout clothing and accessories! I’m currently in love with the site Lululemon, but their gear is quite pricey so I’ll have to save up for this brand name. But until then I’ve found some other great brand names I love, such as Green Apple, Nike, adidas, and more. To me comfort is most important so that I can get in a good workout while looking fashionable at the same time. A girl has got to look amazing while she’s working out, right? Right.

My dream workout shoes happen to look pretty rad and I’m determined to save up and get a pair. They are a pair of ASICS and they are called the Noosa Tri 7 Running Shoe – Blue/Multi 10. And let me tell you – they are super super cool. They come in a array of colors and look like a rainbow. I am in love. Plus, ASICS happens to be my favorite brand name for running and workout shoes. Sigh. I wish I could get them right now.

I definitely also need a new sports bra, and Nike’s Pro Sports Bra looks pretty nice. I especially like the blue color that’s shown on the website. Plus, this bra has excellent features like the Nike Dri-FIT technology, which is their fabric that manages moisture. The result is that this sports bra will keep you very dry and comfortable. Not to mention it offers great support during high intensity sports. Sounds good to me.

I love all tops that include racerback support, just because they feel great while they are on and offer great support too. That’s why the Next by Athena Grey Tankini Top looks super comfy and I would love to add this top to my workout collection. Made out of nylon and spandex, this top also comes with removable soft cups. Also, like Nike, this top also has breathable and quick-dry fabric.

Don’t forget that I mentioned that I love racerback tops because this racerback tankini just so happens to let you show off those sculpted shoulders while its double strap detail gives you that added support and comfort. Tops like this are perfect to wear while running errands and of course while working out!

Since I love all things adidas, I was happy when I discovered that we have adidas coupons, perfect to help me save money while I’m drooling over a new shirt or accessory that I want to add to my workout gear collection. Matter of fact, there’s a Short Sleeve Crew Tee that I’ve really been wanting. I think I would get it in pink!

So now that you have an idea of all of my favorite active wear that I like to wear during my workouts, what is your favorite? I’m always open to hearing about new brands and we have to keep one another motivated – so let’s start now! Let’s work it out together and get going on our workouts. Matter of fact, I think the gym is calling my name right now…

Warm Walking In Winter Style With Uggs

Harry | October 22, 2020August 13, 2021

Winter boots can be a tricky buy. On the one hand of course you want to wear something stylish and fashionable, but unlike your summer slip-ons or party heels, they actually need to be practical. Winter can be cold, wet and icy and there’s nothing worse than splashing out on a great new pair of boots only to find they make you walk like Bambi on ice and never wear them again. At the same time, that old pair of wellies may get the job done but they really don’t leave you feeling your best. It doesn’t have to be this way though – there are plenty of boots out there that look great and will leave you prepared for whatever the winter can throw at you!

Let’s start with the obvious. Ugg boots may be ubiquitous but in terms of comfortable winter footwear there are few equals. In the unlikely event you don’t know what they are and have never owned a pair, these sheepskin boots have a luxurious fleece lining that makes them incredibly comfortable to walk on. Their iconic, chunky look may be like marmite to some (you either love them or you hate them) but they’re heaven for your feet, particularly in the cold winter months. Unfortunately the classic Ugg boots, though warm and comfortable, don’t tend to handle water too well unless you’ve used a protector spray and even then, they probably won’t last too long in the rain. Thankfully if you are after something a little more hard wearing, but still just as cozy, Ugg do a variety of styles (like their Lilyan and Adiroundack boots) that are far more suited to the worst of winter.

Of course it’s not all about UGGs though and plenty or brands like Fly London, Anna Field and Gabor make great winter boots that strike that difficult balance between fashion and practicality. One brand that’s really come into its own lately is Sorel who specialise in making brilliant winter boots that will actually last the winter and look great while doing it. Some of their designs, like ‘Conquest Carly Short’ and the aptly named ‘Joan Of Arctic’, look fantastic and will survive just about anything. Merrell and Camel Active also specialise in trendy winter boots that could probably endure an actual ice age.

If you’re expecting more rain than snow this winter, or are just looking to splash around in style, a pair of Hunter’s iconic wellington boots are always a good idea. They come in plenty of colors, as well as pearlescent shades and even Union Jack designs meaning that, yes; it is possible to find wellies that match your outfit.

Practicality is all well and good but what if you don’t plan on spending much time trudging through rain and snow this winter? Sometimes all you want is in-season footwear that looks great. If that sounds like you, then you might want to check out some stylish, yet affordable, winter boots from Marco Tozzi or Lotus.

Winter doesn’t have to be a time to begrudgingly wear ugly, but practical, footwear. Even if you want the thickest, toughest, warmest boots around, hopefully this article has shown you that there are still plenty of attractive options available so you can remain warm, dry and oh-so-stylish all winter long.

Top 10 Most Romantic Movie Couples

Harry | October 10, 2020August 13, 2021

Whether you’re spending the evening with your significant other this Valentine’s Day or flying solo, snuggle up with your favorite bag of Valentine’s candy and a movie from our list below. We’ve ranked our top 10 romantic movies that star our favorite cinema couples. Some of them will make you laugh, some will make you cry, but there’s no denying that the stars of each film were matches made in Hollywood heaven.

#1 – Scarlett and Rhett in Gone with the Wind

Got 224 minutes to spare? Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh bring it in this classic romance movie. As Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara, the two share a love story like no other in the Civil War era South. Although their romance is rocky and doesn’t necessarily end well (see: “Frankly, Scarlett, I don’t give a damn.”) their love story is truly legendary. The cinematography, costumes, and music also makes the film worth watching.

#2 – Diane and Lloyd in Say Anything

There’s telling a girl you love her, and then there’s professing your love by blaring Peter Gabriel from your boombox outside of your true love’s window. Dorky? Sure. But there’s no denying the sweet, heartwarming connection between Lloyd (John Cusack) and brainy beauty Diane (Iona Skye.) “I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen.” Aww!

#3 – Sally and Harry in When Harry Met Sally…

They say friends make the best lovers. Case in point: Harry and Sally. Starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, the film sees the two come and go out of each other’s lives as friends for years before finally admitting that they have feelings for one another. Ranked a top comedy film on lists from AFI and Bravo, it’s a must see for anyone looking for a good laugh or a good love story.

#4 – Edward and Vivian in Pretty Woman

So maybe Edward (Richard Gere) and Vivian (Julia Roberts) met in an unconventional way (come on, this was well before eHarmony and Match.com, people) but their story is still charming. He’s a wealthy businessman and she’s a hooker with heart of gold. Despite having started their relationship as a business deal, the two share incredible chemistry and wind up falling in love. Who says money can’t buy you love?

#5 – Buttercup and Westley in Princess Bride

The Princess Bride tells the tale of Westley (Cary Elwes) who falls in love with Buttercup (Robin Wright)…even though she pretty much walks all over him for years. Anyway, the two wind up separated, but Westley stops at nothing (including being tortured, fighting off Rodents of Unusual Size, and several sword fighting scenes) to reunite himself with his beloved Buttercup. The Princess Bride has a little bit of everything: comedy, adventure, and wuv, twue wuv.

#6 – Satine and Christian in Moulin Rouge

Winner of multiple Golden Globes and Academy Awards, Moulin Rouge tells the love story of Christian (Ewan McGregor) and Satine (Nicole Kidman) who fall hopelessly in love with one another despite having to overcome a few obstacles to be with one another. The two spend the majority of film serenading each other with cool, remixed versions of love songs like “Your Song”, “All You Need is Love”, and “I Will Always Love You.”

#7 – Molly and Sam in Ghost

Okay, so Patrick Swayze’s character is dead for most of the film, but before he tragically kicks the bucket, there’s an amazing love scene that involves him, Demi Moore, a pottery wheel, and “Unchained Melody.” Although the movie may be a bit on the cheesy side, there’s no denying that Molly and Sam really love each other (he does come back from the grave to save her, afterall.) Plus, it won two Academy Awards and since when is the Academy wrong? (ahem, see 1998′s Best Picture Award. Really?)

#8 – Baby and Johnny in Dirty Dancing

A young, naive girl by the nickname “Baby” (a pre-nose job Jennifer Grey) goes away with her family on vacation and meets bad boy dance instructor Johnny (Patrick Swayze.) Although they don’t instantly hit it off, it isn’t long before the two fall for one another. The film ends with a pretty epic dance scene (“Nobody puts Baby in the corner!” Swoon!) Even if you don’t fall for the characters, you’ll love the soundtrack.

#9 – Rose and Jack in Titanic

Winner of 11 Oscars, Titanic tells the story of Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet), who despite coming from totally different backgrounds, meet and fall in love. The two share love, passion, and some major canoodling before the ship (surprise!) takes a turn for the worse (read: collides with an iceberg.) Sure, Rose barely hesitates at the end before pushing him off the board they’re both floating on to survive, but boy do these two have a heckuva run!

#10– Allie and Noah in The Notebook

The reigning king and queen of romantic movie couples. Based on the bestselling novel by Nicholas Sparks, the story tells of Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams) who share a summer romance that turns into a lifetime of love that neither time nor space can break. There’s breaking up, making up, and some good ol’ fashioned kissing in the rain. Dare ya not to cry.

Top 10 Most Bizarre Captain America Products You Never Knew Existed

Harry | September 29, 2020August 13, 2021

Captain America has a long and storied history as a comic book character. From his first days of punching Hitler in the jaw to the upcoming feature film being released July 22 (which is actually his fourth movie… see below for more on that), Cap has gone through many changes over the years. Naturally, this has led to some truly bizarre memorabilia being created in his name. To commemorate the movie and celebrate the Captain himself, we’ve gathered 10 such whacky items here for you to scoff at and perhaps even enjoy.

Captain America Cologne

The true fans of Cap don’t just want to look like him or act like him, they want to smell like him. And now you, too, can smell like the Star Spangled Avenger with this Eau de Toilette from Marvel. What does it smell like, you ask? Quite simply, it smells of Freedom.

Captain America Pimp Stein

After socking it to Hitler, ol’ Cap used to love relaxing with Tony Stark’s ladies and drinking from this Pimp Stein from Spencer’s. Rumor has it that Cap prefers to fill his cup with either Crystal or this version of Captain America Super Soldier Serum.

Captain America Sassy Deluxe Adult Costume

Did you ever wonder if there was some way that Captain America could be a woman so that your dreams of making out with him would be more socially acceptable? Uh, no, of course not… we never did either. Well, we’re not sure if sassy is the best word to describe this costume, but the fact that it’s an officially-licensed costume makes this cosplay fantasy legit.

Captain America Red Skull Mask

Cap’s biggest foe, the Red Skull, looks pretty creepy in the comics. But the store-bought masks could never pull off the whole red cranium/scar tissue thing… until now. This Red Skull mask is crazy looking (especially with that guy’s hair exploding from behind it) and sure to scare the life out of all the little Captain Americas running around your neighborhood this Halloween.

Captain America Classic Thong

There’s nothing too bizarre about buying a Captain America thong for your ladyfriend, is there? Well, maybe there is when for some unknown reason Captain America has turned into a pug dog as he is on this thong. Just how is that “classic”?

Captain America TV Movies (1979) & Original Movie (1990)

You’ve got your tickets for the new movie already, but did you know this is actually the fourth Captain America movie ever made? Try and get your hands on the previous three and you’ll see why they fit in the “bizarre” category. The first two Cap movies were both made-for-TV in 1979. They feature Cap on a motorcycle and a hang glider. Seriously. Then, in 1990, Cap made his straight-to-video debut in a film that features an Italian Red Skull and a costume with fake ears glued to the sides. Amazingly, Twentieth Century Fox’s “manufacturing on demand” program is re-releasing this movie on DVD July 19th!

Build Your Own “Captain America” Chopper

Now that you know Captain America rides a motorcycle, we know you’re going to want one too. Even though you may not be able to get the Motorcycle from the 1990 Cap movie or the made-for-TV movies before it, for a little under $5,000, Paughco, the provider of many parts used on the original “Captain America” bike that Peter Fonda rode in the film Easy Rider, will provide you with the pieces for building an exact reproduction of the historic chopper. Get yourself a sidecar and your friend Bucky can come along, too!

Captain America the Band

Few people are aware that Captain America went grunge in the early 1990s. Captain America (the band) existed briefly between 1991 and 1992, just long enough for Marvel Comics to hear about the group and shut the name down (the band changed its name to Eugenius). But it’s completely true to say that Captain America joined Nirvana on tour in 1991 and released a single called “Flame On.” Check Ebay or your local used record store for their CD single.

Captain America Tokidoki T-shirts & Hats

Tokidoki (“sometimes” in Japanese) is the Japanese-inspired lifestyle brand created in 2005 by Italian artist Simone Legno. What that doesn’t tell you is that Legno has some very bizarre takes on what Captain America does in his spare time. For instance, there’s a t-shirt of the First Avenger walking a pink dog-thing and dreaming about anthropomorphic food. Or Cap on a couch with his feet up on his shield eating a hot dog and watching a baseball game (actually, that one might be true). This is definitely Captain America as you’ve never seen him.

Dimitri Drjuchin’s “Saint Captain America” Painting

Forget buying original artwork from the comic books. How about getting some honest-to-goodness original art for a mere $600? Moskow-born Dimitri Drjuchin paints a really bizarre interpretation of Cap in his “Saint Captain America” featuring a weeping hero with wings and halo. (His interpretation of “Saint RoboCop” is strangely wonderful, too.) With this on your wall, you’ll broaden your horizons and impress your artsy hipster friends!

Top 5 Makeup Beauty Products For Radiant Skin

Harry | September 19, 2020August 12, 2021

So lately I’ve been buying a variety of different beauty products just to see if I like them or not. From all of my experimentation I’ve found some amazing products that I’m crazy over. Whether it’s face primer or powder, I often try to find the “perfect” product to stick with. Yes, I admit often times I get bored of certain beauty products so I switch to something else, but if I find beauty items I really love I almost always continue to use them through the years.

Want to know what’s on top of my list today? I can’t promise that it won’t change tomorrow but here’s my top 5 beauty items and what I think about each one.

1. Tarte Provacateur SPF 8 Pressed Mineral Powder and Compact

From the packaging (it looks like a quilt!) to what this company stands for, I am now a big Tarte fan. At first I was skeptical of mineral powder in general, just because when I’ve tried mineral powder in the past it has been really messy and doesn’t stay on my face very well. With Tarte, however, this powder is a whole ‘nother story. Here are the ingredients of this makeup from Beauty.com.

Skinvigorating™ Ingredients:

Vitamins A & E: antioxidants that fight free radical damage
Mineral pigments: known for soothing and softening properties
SPF 8: protects skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays

Be sure to snag some Beauty.com coupons and save some money if you decide to buy this powder.

2. Cargo Bronzing Powder

Cargo cosmetics are a lovely way to add an instant glow to your complextion. I’m currently in love with their powders. They add the perfect amount of color that you can apply to the apple of your cheeks. I recently wore this over my Tarte makeup and felt like I was glowing. It instantly refreshes a look and is lovely for the fall and winter.

This is what Beauty.com says about this glowy bronzer:

“‘The best bronzer in the business,’ say our pro artist fans. Our award-winning bronzer is a global best-seller and universally known for giving gals everywhere a natural-looking golden glow.” I totally agree!

3. Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara

I’m always on the hunt for a mascara that works well on my eyelashes. Another key factor for me is discovering mascara that doesn’t flake. I would consider Urban Decay as having quality mascara cosmetics that don’t flake or come off of your eyes.

I’m guessing the Urban Decay Lush Lash Mascara is another great mascara even though I personally haven’t tried it. Depending on the type of eyelashes you have, either mascara would make your eyes pop and stand out!

Plus, I just learned about this from JoeShopping.com’s product description of the mascara:

“This nourishing, thickening and lengthening mascara is infused with peptides and moisturizing panthenol that allows your lashes to grow for a longer period of time.” Yahoo!

4. Too Faced Primed and Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer

Too Faced primer is my BFF because I have oily skin, specifically in my T-zone, and I use it because it creates a flawless complexion. It goes on smoothly and makes your skin feel silky smooth, and I’m not just saying that because it sounds good either. Ha ha.

If you are a non-foundation/powder gal, this also works by itself! I like the description on drugstore.com: “This one-of a-kind makeup primer was scientifically formulated to wear under bronzers, foundation powders or alone to achieve the look of flawless skin without makeup!”

I have very sensitive skin so I’m constantly on the lookout for hypoallergenic cosmetics that don’t cause my skin to break out. That’s why all of the beauty items I am showing you are on my top 5 list. There’s one beauty item more left to discover…what do you think it is?

5. NARS Lip Gloss Orgasm

Sigh. I LOVE this lip gloss. It goes on smoothly without sticky gloss that most women don’t like. It’s basically a thicker lip gloss with more pigment. I happen to like it because it stays on my lips for a long period of time and looks great with an all natural makeup look. It’s basically a very light pink color that matches with your natural lip shade but makes them feel lovely and nourished at the same time. If you haven’t tried NARS you must!!

And…just for kicks here is a picture of me from Halloween day wearing ALL of this makeup that I just raved about so I can prove my point about how it makes your face glow and makes you feel beautiful every day.

So what do you think of all of my makeup suggestions? I think you should try at least one or two of them out.

If you can’t try out these fabulous cosmetics right now, put them on your Christmas wish list. I know I’m always finding new products to show you, but let’s face it, I always have the I wants. I definitely want to buy some more NARS lip gloss, since they come in many different colors, as well as more CARGO blush and bronzer.

Mobile Phones In Nigeria

Harry | September 19, 2020August 13, 2021

It is an excellent idea to bring one’s best friend along or someone who shares one’s interest in the technology. This is where having a techie friend or acquaintance really helps. It makes shopping for phones less stressful by having easy access to a second opinion while going through the process.

When shopping for phones, try to avoid the bandwagon mentality. All that glitters is not gold. In other words, settling for the most hyped up model does not always mean that one is getting the best deal. In fact, there exists the danger of ending up with a shoddy or short-lived merchandise for a person who is not careful.

Prospective buyers needs to ask themselves if the device in question will be able to withstand the test of time. To illustrate, a unit that is made up of plastic can be inferior to one that is basically metal in construction. After all, metal and glass not only look elegant together. Such a combination is also durable.

One’s lifestyle inevitably comes into play. A busybody with a rough job should never take the matter of durability for granted when shopping for phones. The same goes with a personality who is always on the go or on the rush. After all, a lot of accidents can happen.

This is why it is a bad idea to delegate the task of shopping for phones. It is necessary to see with one’s own eyes. More importantly, a phone should match one’s own personality as well as lifestyle. One must also consider the climate that one is in, for example, a very cold environment or one that is extremely hot.

Either the phone loses charge easily or overheats. This is where a highly efficient battery comes into play. So when shopping for phones, it is an excellent idea to ask a vendor how good the battery is. Some devices are better than others when it comes to power management.

Nobody wants a phone that is a power hog. Everyone wants his or her phone’s battery to last for as long as possible. With so many apps to download, a power guzzler will be out of the question. Thus, when shopping for phones, it is important to stay away from models with the weakest battery or the worst power management.

The best way to avoid the pitfalls of ending up with a unit with a power issue is to actually test the cellular phone at the store level. To accomplish this task, one must turn on the phone and play with the applications while inside the store, in order to test actual performance. Also, having the option to return the device if one is not completely satisfied for any reason, is a great escape clause for the buyer.

Therefore, someone who is shopping for phones must look for this option. Having this type of trial clause is especially required when the vendor wants the consumer to lock into a contract of say, one or a few years. In summary, buyers must seek a second opinion in order to get the best deal in the market.

They should not fall head on when an attractive deal is on the table. They need to evaluate the offer carefully for all its merits. They must not fall for the marketing tricks up the seller’s sleeves, such as being put under time pressure. Instead, they must take their time when shopping for phones. The perfect smartphone belongs to those who are extremely smart about buying one. Shop From The Privacy of Your Home. Buy What You Want and Get it Delivered to Your Doorstep Quickly.
