On Being Fashionable And Manly

Keeping yourself looking good and well-groomed must not be your excuse to learn and exude at least the basic manly skills expected of you whether you are a bachelor or family guy. In my previous post, I pointed out that being friendly is fashionable. The same is true for being manly. This would not require you to be Zorro-ish - sword fighting and saving damsels in distress. Rather, this will just require you to set your feet on things you will need to survive. What are they? I have itemized them below.

  • Being dependable/reliable.
  • Ability to do house chores - dish washing, laundry and house cleaning, ironing
  • Giving protection to your family and others
  • Driving and fixing a car
  • Drafting a daily budget
  • Saving for the future
  • Getting a job
  • Taking care of kids
  • Doing volunteer work
  • Haggling
  • Fixing a toilet
These make the core of having a successful life. Assess yourself and mark which of these things are already present in you. If most of them are not. Take the time to learn them - one goal at a time.

Get That Stain Off My Shirt - Stain Removal Guide



Sure. The dude on this picture to the right really looks slick even with a stain on his shirt. What can you say? He is a model in a fashion show. But in reality, wearing a stained shirt to work or to an event is unfashionable and not clean-looking.

Don’t fret if your shirt gets stained. Don’t throw it either. To redeem its original image, follow a tried and tested stain removal system. It includes three processes. These are: a) selection of the right solvent b) proper application of the solvent and c) observance of  recommended after care.

The last two processes are easy to perform. The first one is quite difficult. This is because most us automatically think of bleaching solutions at the sight of stain on our clothes. Below are the suitable solvents you can use on stain types and different fabric.

Water - This is effective in all stain and fabric types so long as quick soaking is involved. Water is good at arresting stain as soon as it lands on the fabric.

Salt - Salt busts stains in the armpit area of your shirt. These are usually deodorant stains.

Lime or Vinegar - The acidity of both substance are effective in removing caffeinated stains.

Chlorine Bleach - This is favorite among us. Stains that are caused by chemicals or stains that have already hardened on the fabric are to be treated with this.
