G&L Clothing – Levi’s, Dickie’s, Carharrt, and more outdoor brands
G&L Clothing is your source for work and outdoor clothes in the top brands, including Levi’s and Carharrt. They don’t have women’s Levi’s, or skinny styles I’d love to see, but they do have straight-leg and other Levis jeans for men at great prices. They also offer Dickies clothing, which I’ve been a fan of since high school – Perfect work pants! Black or khaki Dickie’s are the perfect pants for lots of wear whether you work outside or at a retail job with a uniform. They are surprisingly flattering as well.
The items featured on G&L Clothing are primarily high quality work and outdoor gear. We camp at least once a year and I’m loving on the Carhartt hats and other accessories for kids and keeping warm. Outdoor events are really popular here in Oregon, but much of the state is very cold at night even during the summer months. I am particularly sensitive to cold and looking cute (and ideally not too bundled) while staying warm is beyond important to me. My guys love cool weather but I simply cannot have a good time if I am not warm!
G&L offers easy product tracking and returns, and shipping is free for orders over $100.
The salon finish that will blow you away
I have a history of hair straightening. Back in junior high my mother would straighten my hair for me – I can clearly remember her blow-drying each strand meticulously before a school dance or football game. Eventually I graduated to my own hot tools, which primarily included drugstore brand curling irons. There was a steep learning curve, with lots of neck and forehead burns along the way! Some of my friends were much more skilled than myself, leading to countless makeover attempts — I still love a good makeover today!
Quality matters. I was an adult before I tried my first professional-grade hair straightener, and I was instantly sold. The beauty is in the details – High-quality styling tools heat up faster and distribute heat evenly, clamp hair more firmly without snagging, and the cords don’t get twisted up in knots. Nowadays I rarely straighten all of my hair, but I routinely smooth my ends and tame my bangs. Having the best tool for the job really makes a huge difference.
ghd (good hair day) is a high-end UK hair company known for its celebrity clients and top-quality hot stylers. Their line offers specific tools for varying hair lengths and types — The ghd IV mini styler is the perfect choice for shorter hair, including men’s, ideal for creating curls, flicks and fringes.

Spirit Now psychic chat
A close friend and I have been talking about going to see a psychic for awhile now. The only deterrent thus far has been pricing. There is a local medium we wanted to see but her rates are much higher than I’m comfortable with, especially as an admitted nonbeliever. I have another friend who is very into astrology, tarot cards and palm reading. She definitely impresses a lot of people! Although some of her ‘insights’ surprise me, I’m far from genuinely convinced. I would be interested in seeing how professional psychics vary in their process, knowing almost nothing about me to begin with. If nothing else, psychics are experts in reading people. I’d be nervous but mostly excited to have an expert try to read me!
I am partially afraid that a psychic would tell me things I don’t want to hear, but I would love to receive personalized advice regarding my future. Sometimes a great horoscope or fortune cookie is enough to change your day and give you the insight you’re looking for – I imagine a psychic would provide a similarly uplifting experience. I’d like to see what a psychic has to say based strictly on their first impression of me – What sort of vibes am I putting out there?
Spirit Now advertises free psychic chat for the first five minutes. You have to create a profile, but it doesn’t appear that you have to enter a credit card to enjoy your five minute trial. Five minutes isn’t very long, but it must be pretty good if they’re banking on that short time span to get you hooked! I love that they have an online chat option along with a traditional psychic phone service – Great for if you’re slightly embarrassed about the whole thing or just a little shy.
Have you ever been to a psychic? If so, was it worth the money?
