One of the coolest wedding trends this year is the grand wedding sparkler send off: give each of your guests a sparkler to light as you make your procession — like your own personal fireworks! It’s fun, it’s memorable, and it looks amazing in pictures. However, finding quality wedding sparklers might not be as straightforward as it seems. As more people jump on this trend, more companies are trying to sell discount products to entice those wedding planners on a budget (i.e., all of us!), but sometimes those products can be shoddy. One thing you do not want to skimp…

Similar to fine leather goods, the Pony Express was an important part of early western United States culture. Just like fine leather goods have survived to this day in the form of things like leather belts and leather briefcases for men, so too has the Pony Express.

According to the Casper Star Tribune and Pony Express Home Station website, the annual replication journey passed through our greta state…

Welcome to the wonderful and overwhelming world that is post-graduate living. No more dorm rooms, no more homework, no more puking in the hallway seven days in a row (hopefully). You’re now — technically — an adult. Just because you’re old enough to be considered an adult, however, doesn’t necessarily mean you really are one. At least not a mature one. There is a solid chance that even though you have graduated, you are still sleeping in, playing video games all day, and not doing things to better your future. It happens to almost everybody, but it’s a matter of…

Of course paper, plastics and glass can be recycled – everyone knows that.

In fact many charities will even set up a used clothing pick up, depending on the number of items you have. Should you donate clothes to charity? It’s easy to bring your used clothes…

The leather industry is both important in fashion as well as safety. In 2009, U.S. shipments of leather belts alone reached $92 million. This is an industry that is quite well. Jim Morrison’s pants, Michal Jackson’s glove, and the jackets worn by historic icons such as General Patton, James Dean and Joan Jett, have all influenced people to flock to and purchase fine leather goods. Today, there aren’t as many people wearing eccentric leather outfits like that of the 1950s, 60s, 70s and, especially, the 80s. There are, however, some high-fashion leather trends that are still causing people to look…
