The Living Lamp - Biorb Flow / Fluval Edge Aquariums

I love these two aquarium designs.

I think they're so arty and create a point of interest in any room.

Biorb Flow (White - Clear Plastic)

 Biorb Flow (Large 30L Black & Smaller 15L White - Clear Plastic)

 

Fluval Edge (Small 23L Clear Glass) 

All are available from Pets At Home.

There's loads of video on YouTube so feel free to have a search.  I like the 'reef' ones best.

The air pumps do create some noise so do take this into account.

They're not ideal for the bedroom.

A Plain T-shirt & Jeans - The Wardrobe Essentials For Any Man

Whatever your age every man should have a plain t-shirt and jeans in their wardrobe.

Whether rich or poor these two garments make great casual wear for any man.

Bruce Willis, Hugh Jackman and Pierce Brosnan look great in theirs!

 Bruce Willis

 Hugh Jackman

Pierce Brosnan

You can accessorize with a great looking watch, sunglasses and / or baseball cap.  I'd wear brogues, Dr Martens shoes or boots or maybe a pair of classic Timberland boots to make the most of this look.

If you have middle age spread I would avoid tucking your t-shirt into your jeans.  If you do tuck it in then always remember to wear a belt.

 Gap - Great for t-shirts

  Levi's - Great for jeans

The Healthy Back Bag - A Design Classic! The 'Man Bag' No Man Should Be Without.

 I've been a great fan of the Healthy Back Bag for years. After wearing my first one out I'm now on my second.  I have the small black microfiber version.

In my opinion they're a design classic.

Clean lines, very functional and loads of great ideas in one item.  I especially like the silver lining making it easier to find items inside.  The double zip along the full length of the bag makes access inside really easy for you and not for anyone else.  If you wear the bag diagonally, like a sash, across your body the zip of the main compartment lies against your back so it's difficult for other people to get inside - a great security feature especially if you're in a crowd.  There's also two pouches, internal and external, to hold a drink bottle. There's a clip for keys so no more rummaging to find them.

Do remember they're great for your back too!

I tend to wear mine across my body.

There are loads of different colours, fabrics and sizes suitable for men and women so do take a look at their website.

Summer Has Arrived In The UK - Solar Sport Sunscreen

At last it looks like the summer sun has arrived in the UK.

I was at an outdoor event a few years ago where it was really warm and sunny.  I could feel the sun's warmth a little too much on the top of my head and I had no hat with me.  I though to myself, 'Why doesn't anybody sell sun protection in handy sized containers?  I could really do with some for the top of my head!'.  Especially as I keep my hair very short.

Not too long after I was shopping in Halfords and next to the till were some small sun protection sprays.  I was really surprised and bought one.  It was the first of many!

I carry one around with me most of the time.  It's great when I'm out and about.  I simply spray, with the pump action, onto the top of my head and around my face and I'm done.  No need for a hat.  It's also great for use anywhere on the body as it is very light and non-greasy.

Available in 15SPF and 30SPF from many shops.

Just give it a try!

(As with all products please read the label before use)

Time for a classic - The Omega Seamaster Professional Gents Watch (Video)

The Omega Seamaster Professional is a beautiful watch worn by many celebrities, including royalty - Prince William has been photographed and filmed many times wearing his.

I originally saw the Omega Seamaster Professional in the James bond film 'Golden Eye' starring Pierce brosnan as 007.

Omega have changed the design a few times slightly over the years.

They are available as an automatic or quartz and they're available in midsize (for the smaller wrist) and large.

It looks great with a suit, jeans, even swimming trunks!
