Havaianas Sandals at CodeDesir.com

codedesir — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:34:00 GMT

Havaianas has changed the face of the typical boring flip-flop into a whole new platform.

Today, Havaianas is one of the most stylish and most comfortable brand of flip-flops that has captured the hearts of the global market – men and women, young and old alike. The first pair of Havaianas was created in 1962 in Brazil. It was inspired by the design of a Japanese sandal called the Zori. The brand has been a big hit in Brazil since then but it was only by the year 2000 that Havaianas became a highly-renowned global line of flip-flops.

These sandals are most popular for their variation of colors, prints, styles, and the comfortable rubber material used to create every pair. The designs are used as a medium to express universal themes – optimism, joy, freedom, energy, and many more. They’re not only bought by many for their fun and colorful designs but also for the significance that they stand for.

Another thing that sets Havaianas apart from the rest of the flip-flop brands is that they can be customized according to your personality. Some even “un-pair” the thongs and wear two entirely different flip-flops on each foot. Others personalize their sandals by adding flowers, gem stones, or just about anything that they wish.

Havaianas offers a wide range of patterns and colors to choose from – swirls, animal prints, flower patterns, block colors, etc. They’re not only fun to look at, they’re also very comfortable to walk in. Because these thongs are fun and stylish enough, fashionistas wear them in lieu of sneakers or of other flip-flop brands. These sandals come in two styles - sling backs and the single toe post.

Havaianas does not only offer excellent quality, they’re also very unique and comfy. From its soft texture to the affordable price tag, this brand is bound to remain a global phenomenon.

So forget the sneakers and give your feet a comfortable and stylish break!

If there is enough space in your bag, you can also pack some extra clothing like undies, a shirt, a pair of shorts, and flip flops. This way, even if your luggage gets lost in transit, you will have something to change on.

3) Take as much money as you think you’ll need. This will keep your prepared for whatever emergencies along the way. For instance, some airlines enforce the one-piece carry-on luggage policy. You can get fined for not abiding such policies so bring debit and credit cards to keep you safe.

5) Flaunt what you got. What’s summer without a cute bikini to show off? So ramp off the shores with a stunning and comfy swimwear while getting your tan.

codedesir — Mon, 17 May 2010 12:30:51 GMT

Some dread the heat of summer but for the beach bums, this is definitely the best season of the year. So take this as your chance not only to show off you bikinis but also to look cool under the heat of the sun. We have listed down some tips that will make you the standout chic on the beach.

2) Don’t party hard. Yes, a great party completes the whole summer experience but if you want to have a one-of-a-kind vacation, find time to bond with nature. Try visiting a secluded island. Bring your best beds with you and enjoy the serene and peaceful surroundings.

3) Be confident and flaunt your body! Take summer as your chance to flaunt your body. Bear in mind that every body has its flaws but this should not hinder you from wearing the cute and delicate swimwear that you have long-been wanting to buy. Be confident and strut what you got.

Tips To Help You Plan A Budget-Friendly Location

codedesir — Fri, 14 May 2010 12:27:38 GMT

What’s summer without a vacation? Summer is the best season to plan the getaway that you have long-been dreaming of. But, before you even get too overwhelmed, bear in mind that staying within your budget is very important. Below are some tips to help you plan an affordable yet memorable and fun vacation that you will never forget.

1) Know how much your budget is. This is very important. To have a budget-friendly vacation, you need to know beforehand how much you are willing to spend. This is also the reason why planning in advance is highly important. Planning in ahead of time gives you the best summer deals. At least 6 months before your vacation, look at your savings, future expenses, and incoming income and find out how much you can set aside for your vacation.

2) Do your homework. Based on the activities that you want to do, research on the best deals available. You can surf the Web for potential vacation spots. Bear in mind that the best summer destination does not always need to be the most visited beach or resort. In fact, some of the most memorable vacations happen in “un-touristy” spots.

3) Cut down the number of days. It does not necessarily need to be a weeklong vacation. A 3-day breather should be enough to give you a breather without having to spend so much.

4) Tag along as many friends as you can. This will not only help you save up on expenses, this will also give you the chance to meet more people and gain friends.

There’s always a budget-friendly way to spend your vacation. To complete your whole summer experience, don’t be scared to wear a stunning swimwear that will make you a standout from the crowd.

Make-Up Tips To Keep You Glowing Under The Summer Sun

codedesir — Wed, 12 May 2010 11:20:23 GMT

Every beach bum can’t help but dream of finally hitting the beach, sipping on her fruit shake, listening to John Mayer, and getting a great tan. But, remember that summer is not the season for sticky foreheads and greasy hair. It’s easy to get too excited about our summer trips but that’s never an excuse to looking less than a lady. So take a look at these tips to keep you glowing during the summer months.

1) Instead of applying heavy foundation, get glowing skin by brushing on a light shimmering powder. Make-up will melt easily under the sun so keep it light and natural as much as you can.

2) Dab powder bronzer. The best way to give yourself a stunning glow is to use a bronzer. You can use a shimmer powder on your eyelids, collarbone, and cheekbones. A matte finish will be best on your face.

3) To achieve the best summer pout, use a shiny lip gloss.

4) If you wish to wear mascara, be sure to use a waterproof product. “Raccoon eyes” won’t make you a stunner on the shore. Of course, if you put on mascara, always bring with you an eye make-up remover.

5) To complete the whole summer experience, wear a stunning and delicate swimwear like this. This piece will not only make you a head turner, it will also ensure that you stay comfortable all throughout.

Stay beautiful throughout the summer and let’s all look forward to a lot of fun moments under the heat of the sun!

TRAVELLING MADE EASIER

codedesir — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 18:45:22 GMT

BoxBra, happened as the solution to something that I could not buy nor was even offered for ladies until now.
Until BoxBra I was always finding myself frustrated having to place all my bras, panties, perfumes, and other items I had spent so much money on strategically in an unattractive, see through Tupperware box so they would not be damaged while in my suit case. When I found something that I thought may work, it was either cheaply made, without style or did not offer the convenience to place all my items in one bag. This is when I came up with the idea for my patent pending BoxBra design, and after several prototypes BoxBra was finally perfected.

I needed BoxBra to not only store my bras, but other personal effects all women travel with. I was able to design BoxBra to fit for bra cup sizes “A - D (Certain D Models)” and can hold up to 6 bras depending on the style and size of the Bra. BoxBra’s cups also work excellent for women who have suffered through breast cancer and need the use of post mastectomy breast prosthesis. BoxBra also has a removable middle section you can use to hang anything from your bras to swim wear, leaving an area below the mid section to store your other essential intimate items which make it perfect for even going to the gym or on a short trip. BoxBra is the only one to offer all this in one stylish case. In the past I have even helped my husband take his sunglasses and cologne, but only when there was leftover room in my BoxBra.

Finally, we don’t have to worry about getting our stockings ripped from our high heels, fine lingerie dirtied from our husbands shoes, expensive bras crumpled up, wonder where to store our perfume bottle, or have to worry about having all of our most intimate items exposed when our suit case is unexpectedly checked. BoxBra takes away the worry and need of purchasing several different bags for all our cherished things while we travel. BoxBra is the only one that takes care of all that and more!
From bras to perfume BoxBra have you covered!
