‚Armani Code Summer‘ – the new Summer fragrance
So, several days ago I decided to get the new Summer fragrance from Armani ‚Armani Code Summer‘ to fit in my collection of Armani scents.
I went to my local store, where the new delivery was just being received as I came. Happy to be the first of my town to try this great fragrance, I reached for the bottle, which cool, decent design has my absolute approval.
The top note from Armani Code summer is a citrus-smelling very very light scent, which reminds me of low concentrated lemon juice. It’s well feeling, as It’s neither too hard nor too light.

It’s the perfect summer perfume, as it has a fresh-clean as well as warm-smooth smell combination, which is exiting and never makes you bored or annoyed of that smell.
It fits well into the Armani-series of perfumes.
So, if you are a dedicated Armani-fan, this might be the perfect summer perfume for you this year.
I personally still prefer stronger scents in summer, so I just use less and save more of the liquid, which is more cost-efficient.
But I have to warn you about buying those perfumes in turkey at the same stores which sell fake-brand clothing. Those samples are either faked or in a far lower concentration than the original. Also, they often have the right top note, but either the rest is faked or not as strong, as It’s lower concentrated. So the scent quickly disappears after using, and u are left with the illusion of having a nice, expensive perfume.
This happened to me once with a boss-bottled perfume, which after I inspected it back in Germany, had an already used bottle that seemed to be simply refilled. After this, the disappointment was big.
It may be more expensive, but the most secure way is to buy Armani Code Summer in serious-looking shops in your homecountry. If you dislike Armani maybe try out Pure poison.

photo credit: l.bailey_beverleyHomemade Buzz Invitations
The reason I love homemade invitations better then your cookie cutter generics is that they look better. It’s that simple. So put some effort in and make some beautiful homemade buzz party invitations. Here’s a simple idea. Grab some black or dark blue cardboard and a silver or gold marker. Write the party details on the bottom end of the cardboard with the marker. Then print out a picture of buzz, a rocket ship, and the moon. Glue these to the top of the invitation and decorate with gold star stickers too. Get your kids involved as well, and make it a fun arts and crafts day.
Buzz Birthday Cake
There are so many cake ideas to do, most involving decorations of Buzz himself on the top. However, not all of us are such skilled bakers. So try something a bit simpler instead, do a cake that loosely resembles the shape of a rocket ship, and then put white and red frosting on it as decoration. For Buzz himself, just use a plastic action figure and place him on the top. Then surround him with sparklers! When it’s time, light them up and it looks like Buzz is going to fly off on his rocket ship.
For more fun ideas, why not get a mens buzz lightyear costume and you or your husband dress up as buzz lightyear for the kids!

Protect Children by Keeping Your Firearms Locked up
If you happen to be a hunter you know how important it is to keep your firearm safe when it is not in use. There are several different racks available that mount on a wall to hold a rifle in place. These are good for storing rifles, but offer little in the way of safety. If you have young children around your home or cabin you would provide a safer environment by using a cabinet. The gun cabinets for sale can be found through various retailers online and at some stores that carry guns, rifles and sporting goods.

Most cabinets are made of wood so they can be added to any room as a piece of furniture. The back and sides will be solid wood with the front having a door that can have a glass insert as a window. The most common style of cabinet has a double door with handles or door knobs and a key lock mechanism. The deluxe model made of solid pine can hold as many as twelve rifles in a secure manner. This particular unit includes two drawers on the bottom of the piece where you can store ammunition or other items you usually take with you for hunting.
While the large cabinets are excellent for use with longer guns they are not very practical for storing smaller handguns. If you own a hand gun you would be better off using a fire safe box. This not only keeps the gun out of the reach of children, but also protects it against high levels of heat. This item is made out of metal and is usually small enough to set on an inside closet shelf or inside the drawer of a nightstand. This item also comes with a key lock mechanism to prevent anyone from gaining access to the weapon placed inside.
