Casely Wallet Phone Cases look great on the outside but even better on the inside

I didn’t think a wallet phone case was for me. I’ve carried a purse and a regular wallet for years. It is a bit hard for me to change my routine but I decided that I needed to simplify things a bit and by that, I mean a smaller purse. Well, my wallet really didn’t fit in my purse with my phone and I could not give up my phone.

When I saw the Gold Casely Wallet Phone Case I had to give it a try. The Casely wallet case was the perfect accessory for me, I can’t live without it now. This phone case has totally changed the way I carry my phone, money and charge cards. Not only is the Casely Wallet Case pretty on the outside, it is even better on the inside.  It is vegan leather with several colors and styles to choose from. The case acts as my wallet, holding 6 to 10 cards,  (I have 7 cards in mine), as well as a side slot to hold a few bills

Whether shopping, going to the gym or anywhere where I won’t need a purse or handbag, I just grab my phone and the credit Cards and money are attached. We are ready to go!  The case itself is very tight and I haven’t lost a card yet, they haven’t slipped out either. Casely Wallet Cases  have a strap attached so you can use it as a wristlet.  Say goodbye to handbags when you are shopping….Hello Casely.

Don’t need a phone case?  Casely’s got you covered. Casely has an array of accessories and beautiful, unique collections to fit your individual need.   Choose from wallet phone cases, regular phone cases, wallets and phone rings in various styles, prints and patterns. Casely’s  accessories fit many style iphones and Samsungs. Chic and stylish, bold and trendy Casely has it all.

 My favorite accessory is the Phone Ring

As stated by Casely, “The ring not only has the style that customers love, but it also has efficiency like no other accessory. This phone rings allows you to prop up your phone anytime, anywhere, and have it be stable.”

7 essential accessories to pack for your travels

Travel is one of life’s greatest pleasures. However, it’s not without its stresses – most notably, deciding what to pack. 

Without the perfect selection of accessories in your suitcase, you’ll be poorly prepared for your trip and more likely to run into problems. 

So for those of you facing packing perils, here are seven essential accessories to pack for your travels. 

  • Packing cubes

No matter how hard we try to pack light, we always end up with messy bags that are practically bursting at the seams. Enter packing cubes – they make packing and unpacking a much tidier job by allowing you do divide your bag into neat and orderly sections and collate certain belongings so that they’re easier to find. 

  • Microfiber towel

Some accommodations don’t provide towels or even charge you for the luxury. It’s therefore worth getting a small microfiber towel from an outdoor equipment store such as Mountain Warehouse – it’s durable, multifunctional and the material dries super-fast. 

  • Power bank

When you’re busy snapping pics and selfies, your phone will quickly run low on juice. So pack a power bank and save yourself the hassle of trying to track down a plug socket whilst you’re on the move. You should opt for a lightweight portable product that can fit in your pocket, so you can travel light and benefit from more space for other important accessories.  

  • Travel bottles

When it comes to your moisturizers, shampoos and foundation, don’t waste your time looking for miniatures – they’re a rip off. It’s better to buy some travel size bottles (100ml or less) and fill these up from the full-size products you already have.

  • Filter water bottle

Whether you’re travelling to a tropical island or a wintry resort, dehydration is always a risk. So consider investing in a LifeStraw filter water bottle. These fantastic products remove bacteria, parasites and microplastics from water, whilst retaining essential minerals so you can enjoy safe and nice tasting water wherever your travels take you.  

  • Travel pillow

Posture is everything during a long-haul flight. Spend too long sat slumped and you could end up suffering from a load of aches and pains that spoil your travels. So get yourself a travel pillow to support you neck and help you sit comfortably and correctly during your flight. 

  • Eye mask

When you’re constantly on the move, finding time to get some good sleep can be difficult. So get yourself a high-quality eye mask which blocks out light,  then you’ll quickly drift off quickly and grab some shut eye whenever an opportunity arises. 

 Traveling to the airport 

Don’t risk your accessories and other precious pieces getting damaged on your way to airport by travelling on overcrowded public transport. They’ll  be far more safe and secure in the boot of your car. So drive to the airport instead – you can use Looking4.com to find parking deals for US airports  from Ontario to Orlando.

With your transport sorted, purchase these seven fabulous accessories, start packing and get ready for some wonderful travel adventures. 

What are your must-pack accessories for travel? Let us know in the comments section.

Shifting to Natural Hair Care? Here’s What to Expect

natural hair

Natural hair products are growing in popularity in recent years. Although it is not a trend that is limited only to hair care, it seems “organic” and “natural” are the buzzwords of today.  You attach them to any brand to appeal to a specific demographic. 

But it is not merely your perception that more and more people are buying Natural Hair Care products. The numbers could not be denied. 

For instance, estimates revealed that the organic care market, which includes hair care, skincare, and cosmetics, is projected to reach $25 billion by 2025. The industry was worth $13.3 billion in 2018 but has a compound annual growth rate of 9.4%.

What to Expect When You Go Natural

Those who are used to using harsh synthetic chemicals on their shampoos, however, will experience a bit of a culture shock when they switch to Natural Hair Care.

For one, you can expect to find fewer suds and foam in natural shampoo products. In synthetic products, you will find a compound called sodium lauryl sulfate, a known surfactant that is also found in toothpaste. Another similar compound you will see is sodium laureth sulfate. But the problem is that surfactants also pose some health risks. 

Natural Hair Care products have chucked these synthetic chemicals, which also means less lather.

Another thing to expect is that your hair may feel heavier, and it seems to have more oil than usual. But it is natural, especially if your hair and scalp are still adjusting to the new product. To avoid this, you need to rinse your hair thoroughly to take out any residue. Once your system has adjusted, however, you will discover that your scalp has less oil, which minimizes the occurrence of dandruff, and your hair becomes fuller.

Synthetic shampoos contain silicone, which provides your hair with that artificial sheen. However, silicone is similar to wax in the sense that it coats your follicles. It can build up on your pores and prevent hair growth. It is the reason why your hair feels thicker and fuller when you make the switch to Natural Hair Care. 

When you take out silicone from your hair care regimen, you will notice that your hair feels sticky or matted. Do not worry. It is the natural process of eliminating silicone from your hair. It will only last for a short time, depending on the buildup of wax on your hair.

Most natural hair care manufacturers recommend that you shampoo twice, at least during the initial stages of the transition. For those who want more lather out of their shampoos, this would be the method they should follow. First, they put the product on their hair and rinse thoroughly. Then they repeat the process the second time, where they will notice more suds. Wash all the residues out since they will weigh down your hair.

The crucial thing is to commit to the transition. Some people give up in the first few days without giving it a chance. You must remember that you have been using these harsh chemicals on your hair all your life. The natural hair care products are trying to undo the harm and allowing your hair to recover, so you must give it a few days.
