Diesel’s Only the Brave 2014 Colognes
Your man will thank you as he drenches himself in a bottle of man-power greatness that is oozing of masculinity. We have found a kick-butt product that is guy approved and woman appreciated. Words cannot describe the awesomeness that is Diesel’s colognes for 2014, you just have to experience them for yourself.

A product’s presentation only heightens the excitement that can be derived from its use and if that is true then Diesel has hit the nail on it’s head. Diesel’s 2014 colognes pack a powerful punch (literally), they are actually shaped as fists accompanied with knuckle rings that say “Diesel.” HOT!
If you have a strong man that thinks he can be an action hero, then this probably is the perfect gift for him. Only The Brave comes in two different bottles, Only The Brave Tattoo (black) and Only The Brave The Original (blue). Happy gifting ladies!
Gain Gorgeous Skin With Eggs
Beauty Quickie: Eggs are not only beneficial to keep you healthy on the inside, they also do wonders on your outside. Let’s breakdown the egg for a moment to really understand the benefits that can be derived from eggs. Eggs when directly applied to the skin can moisturize as well as tighten. More specifically:
1. Egg Yolks: Moisturize
2. Egg Whites: Tighten
Experience these benefits by taking one egg and separating the egg yolk from the egg white. Next, stir the egg whites and egg yolks up in separate containers and then apply the egg yolk mixture to your face allowing it to dry for 10 minutes or until it becomes stiff. Rinse off the egg yolk with warm (not hot) water and pat your face dry. Repeat these steps with the egg whites and in no time you will notice a fresher complexion and tighter pores.
