Elegant/Trendy Clothing/Dress

Picking out the right dress or suit that fits well and looks great is important. Chocolate brown is the new black! Gray, pink, blue, teal and just about any other bold bright colors all go well with chocolate brown. Think of going with a brown dress with bold color accents, this is sure to make sure you look sharp!

Chocolate Food

A chocolate fountain is the perfect way to start the evening. Have a mixture of items out that can be used for the chocolate fountain. Here I would high recommend Tek Motion 5-tier 26' Chocolate Fondue fountain. It's perfect for large weddings and parties and large fountain are always always needed for rental in important days at its idle time. You can also go with brownies, chocolate drinks (chocolate martinis, faux-tinis, hot chocolate), chocolate cake, chocolate bars, chocolate ice cream, etc. Having a sunday bar would be a great way to fit in all the different items to make the perfect chocolate dream sundae.

Chocolate Party Tips

  • Chocolate brown items like hats, leis, boas can help your guests get into the ambiance of the evening more quickly. Give these items directly to your guests right as they arrive. This will help break the ice as they have something they can use for the evening.
  • Give guests their chocolate items as soon as they arrive.
Chocolate themed parties can be a lot of fun the only limit is your imagination! The more creative and off the wall ideas you can come up with, the more memorable the party will be for your guests. Remember that good food, music, and good friends are the key items to a successful party!
If you like this, please share this to your friends. And if you are interested in a large chocolate fountain, I would like to repeat Tek Motion 27' 5-Tier Stainless Steel Chocolate Fondue Fountain

User Manual for CO-Z CO-Z 20' Telescoping Aluminum Flag Pole

CO-Z Telescoping Flag Pole Installation Instructions

Tools needed: Shovel, Spade or Post Hole Digger, Tape Measure, Level, Container to mix concrete.

Materials needed: 180lbs of pre-mixed concrete, water and 15-20lbs of Pea Gravel or Crushed Rock

                     
Step 1: read instructions completely. Choose a location for the flag pole where there are no obstructions, utilities or power lines beneath the surface.

Step 2: dig a round “fence pole sized” hole, 12’’ in diameter and 28’’ in depth. A larger hole maybe required for longer flag pole or sandy and soft soil.

Step 3: shovel in 4’’-6’’ of gravel into the bottom of the hole, which will provide water drainage.

Step 4: install the stop bolt completely through the pre-drilled hole in the ground sleeve. Tighten it by hand. Mix the concrete



Step 5: Push the sleeve into the gravel and make sure that the ground sleeve is at least 1’’ above ground level. If you fail to push the sleeve into the gravel, it will allow the concrete to seal the hole and prevent water drainage.

Step 6: use the cap provided to cover the ground sleeve. Begin to shovel the concrete into the hole around the ground level sleeve being careful not to disturb the sleeve position.

Step 7: remove the cap to check the sleeve for plumb with a level in several locations. Install the cap into the sleeve again to prevent objects from entering.

Step 8: wait at least for 24 hours before placing the flag pole into the hole.


How to Operate Your CO-Z Flag Pole Manual



Maintenance Tips

Your CO-Z Telescoping Flagpole is virtually maintenance free! There are no lubricants needed at any time during the life of the flagpole. You can easily clean the exterior of your flagpole with liquid soap and water by using a car wash mitt, or sponge. Rinse well, and wipe dry.

The Best Kitchen Faucet - CO-Z 17.7" Kitchen Single Handle Sink Faucet Two 360° Swivel Spouts Pull Down Mixer Tap Chrome Finished


I am very familiar with this style of kitchen faucet, two of my relatives have similar faucets installed in their kitchens. Faucets like this usually start at about $200 for no-name brands and can go up to about $1200 for the top name brands. So my first thought when I saw the price was that it was a cheap plastic piece of junk. But since I write for a kitchen specialty website where many of our readers are on tight budgets I thought I would keep an open mind. The distributer offered to provide a reduced cost sample for testing and evaluation, but our reviews are completely independent on any manufacturer or organization.

My first impression when it arrived is how VERY heavy it is. I’ll warn you right up front that if you have a low-cost stainless steel sink this faucet will likely be too heavy for it. Likewise if your sink is not firmly mounted into your countertop. Fortunately I have a very heavy-duty kitchen sink with a deep bowl that is intended for faucets like this. Unfortunately, when we bought the sink we didn’t plan ahead and we bought a faucet that is the wrong style and the wrong color and we have never really liked it so the unfortunate part is having to uninstall it to put this one in.

If you are considering this faucet, also be aware that it is very tall, it sticks up about 20” above the sink rim. Some kitchens may not be able to handle that height. Again, I was fortunate that our sink is well designed for a “commercial grade” faucet like this.

I inspected the faucet before installing it. Contrary to what I might expect for the price this faucet is mostly metal (the manufacturer states that it is brass). I have looked at similar faucets at the home improvement chain store that cost over $200 and they are made with quite a bit of plastic.

This is a single-hole faucet, ideal for me because my sink is drilled for only one hole. Note that it does NOT come with a trim plate if you have a 3-hole sink so you will have to get that locally. The mounting hole is standard size and it hooked up easily to the existing water feeds. Installation did not take any longer than any other faucet and everything needed was in the box. Kudos to the manufacturer for including two premium-grade metal sheathed feed hoses. I would have only expected cheap plastic hoses at this price.

After installation the faucet operates in a similar way to other commercial-grade (or restaurant grade) faucets. If you are new to this type of faucet here’s what to expect … the on/off/temperature control is to the right and operates by tilting it away from the main stem. The temperature is controlled by moving the lever toward you or away from you. Once you are satisfied with the temperature you can turn the water on and off without changing it. The on/off lever itself is machine-knurled metal and is easy to operate with your wrist, knuckles, etc if your hands are full.

Here’s where it gets tricky if this style of faucet is new to you … you actually have TWO faucets to choose from. One is on a fixed arm like a normal kitchen faucet and it has its own on/off switch. This faucet can be swung a full 360 degrees and has a standard aerator in it, so using it is like what most people are used to. The second faucet is on a spring-loaded flexible gooseneck tube and extends over20” high. It has a clamp to hold it in place or you can unclamp it and use the entire faucet like a sprayer hose. The end of it operates more like a sprayer than an aerator and it has its own on/off switch. This faucet also rotates 360 degrees. So the trick is that you can operate either or BOTH of the faucets at the same time depending on which on/off switch you have turned on.

WARNING

The word “warning” isn’t meant to be a negative but to point out a couple of things you MUST know in using this style of faucet:

1. Most kitchen faucets don’t swivel 360 degrees. If you have either faucet swung far to the side where it is not pointing into the sink and it’s on/off switch is “on”, if you turn the main control “on” you will spray water all over your kitchen counter. That’s just the way commercial faucets work so you are forced to think a bit before absent-mindedly turning the water on.

2. The gooseneck faucet “can” be left hanging without inserting it into the clamp. If you turn the main control on and the gooseneck’s lever is also on you will be faced with the entire assembly wildly flailing around like a goose with its neck cut off (maybe that’s why they call it a gooseneck). TRUST ME!!! I have done this and it is NOT a pretty sight to have water spraying at high pressure all over your kitchen while you desperately try to find the on/off control. It is only funny later when you talk about it. Again, this is not a defect or a negative, it’s just what happens when you choose to have such a fancy faucet in your kitchen.

The bottom line is this faucet is an amazing value at the price. It is mostly solid metal, well made, has ceramic valves and looks like a million dollars. Once you use a faucet like this for everyday kitchen chores you will never go back to a basic faucet again. It is well made and leak-free. In fact it only has one drawback which I consider a minor inconvenience but to some it may be a more significant frustration. With most faucets of this style the gooseneck clamp is longer than the bottom “normal” faucet so it can swivel around it. Inexplicably this manufacturer has designed theirs backwards so the bottom faucet sticks out longer than the gooseneck so when you swivel it from side to side it hits the gooseneck. The solution in everyday use is to always keep the gooseneck positioned to one side or the other while using the lower faucet. But it’s still backwards from what you would expect it to be. I can’t take a full rating point off for that because it doesn’t bother me but I will knock a half point off of an otherwise excellent and affordable product.

How to Hold a Small Party Night/Weekend Night Use Small Gears?


It’s time to bring out the shot glasses, dig out every glittery item in your wardrobe and divide your friends into two distinct groups: those who love Weekends, and those who just don’t get it.

Hush, this is a secret I don't share with everybody. :P


Weekends is coming, and with a week of semi-finals leading up to the final on Saturday it’s a chance to get sozzled, listen to some truly terrible music and appreciate the diverse talents of our neighbouring friends. 


A weekend watched alone is not a weekend truly enjoyed, so here’s your guide on how to hold the ultimate Weekend bash.

Amazing SPA, and Enjoy It at Home with This Portable Inflatable Bathtub

I love to soak in very hot water with fragrant foams , relax and maintain very healthy skin (I had some acne/oily skin before soaking regularly). I have been using this for a few months now on a every other day basis. It is still holding up great and was well worth the money. Shipping was surprisingly quick also. Thank you seller for making me a very happy customer.

I have to say it's a great little gadget. I could only enjoy SPA at beauty salon and missed it so much. I thought it's really a day dream to enjoy SPA at my rented house. But this little thing fulfilled me.  I can enjoy wherever/whenever I want with this portable inflatable bathtub.  You can get the best quality one from CO-Z from below:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017GMD7YU

As for a temporary fix, I bought this tub, not expecting much. I did the 1 day delivery because it's getting cold as hell even in Southern California (60 degrees F lately which is freezing cold for the area I live in).  Don't be jealous all you northeast neighbors!! The item came with an Foot air pump and a cool Cushion. You know I really don't hate the fitness movement to blow it up with the foot air pump, though the CO-Z company promises to add a alternative choice for an electrical pump.  


But it turned out to be a surprise. Zipped the flaps, it's a sweet thing to enjoy the Beauty Hydrotherapy SPA,  the coffee, and your book at the same time. The drainage is at the front bottom, there is a plastic extension tube that comes with it, which was long enough for my use.
