5 Simply Classic Bell and Ross Men’s Watches

I’ve never been a fan of watches, but lately I’ve been itching to get a classy on to wear when I dress up or every day use.  I’m very picky when it comes to watches, which is the main reason why I never settle to buy one.  I discovered a brand that makes unbelievable watches that fit my personality and style.  They are simple, classy, elegant, and make a bold statement whether you’re wearing them for work or play.  The watches I have listed here are made by Bell and Ross.  They have been around since WW1 making watches.  What stands out to me is the simple and elegant faces, and minimal designs.  The only downside to find in the watch style that I love is that Bell and Ross watches are very pricey!  I know there is no way I would pay thousands for a watch right now (notice how I say right now?) but I plan on earning my way to getting one by setting a goal for my website properties.  When I reach this business goal I will award myself with one of these beauties!  Anyway, enough talk, check out this list of classic Bell and Ross watches and you’ll see why I love them.

Greg Plitt Motivation

A while ago I stumbled across this bodybuilder while looking for some gym motivation. I later found he was about much more than just his physique.  His name is Greg Plitt and if you haven’t heard of him, you’ve probably seen him on the cover of GQ, Bowflex commercials or maybe a fitness magazine without knowing it.  After watching a few Greg Plitt’s YouTube videos and I was instantly inspired by him and I’ll tell you why.  Some of the words that jump out of his mouth may sound like he’s a spacey meat-head trying to get you to buy his membership on his website, but after listening to him you can take a lot away from his videos if you weed through his advice.  Greg Plitt is so intense with his motivation and values that it’s unbelievable.  I couldn’t stop watching his videos after hearing his motivation during his workouts, because he talks about a lot more than just lifting weights.  He motivates you on a deeper, life-level and pushes the fact that it’s only you that’s holding yourself back from your fitness and life goals.  At times he sounds arrogant, over the top, and sometimes plain obvious about certain things, but he’s so passionate and energetic that it makes you listen.  If you’re looking for a little bit of motivation in the gym or life, check out a few of his videos and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

I came across this animated GIF of Greg Plitt and thought it was very powerful and true.  Excuse the harsh words, but I think it helps get the point across that it’s no luck getting what you want in life, you need to get up and go get it.  Whether it’s getting that beautiful woman you’re breathless over across the bar, want that grand house,  or you’re seeking the perfect job, you need to step it up and just do it!

Here are some great Greg Plitt Motivational YouTube Videos



Atlantis Hotel in Dubai’s Shark Infested Water Slide

It’s no wonder why Amazing Race contestants were challenged to drop down this six story water slide surrounded by shark infested water.  The leap of faith slide at the Atlantis resort in Dubai is one of the most unique waterslides in the world.  It may not be the steepest, but it’s definitely one of the coolest.  Would you take the leap of faith?

iRetrofone – The Retro Iphone Handset & Dock

I’m not too into iPhone docs but this one is exceptional.  This iPhone dock is handmade and signed by Artist Scott Freeland.

Fuses Art With Function.

The iRetrofone is a fully-functional, stationary iPhone dock with working handset and complete compatibility with USB cable. Each individual iRetrofone is hand-sculpted and hand-cast in urethane resin. The iRetrophone is made of heavy-duty urethane resin creating a stable, functional work station that routes voice communications through the included handset. Designed to be compatible with all iPhone’s (iPhone 3G, 3GS & iPhone 4G & 4S), it accommodates sync and charge functions via a USB cable (not included). The iRetrofone base also helps eliminate concerns about radiation.

Add the Retrophone app to make your iRetrofone complete, available on iTunes.

You can grab one of these phone on Etsy for around $200.  There’s also a gold and black one that reminds me of my recent gold and black vintage fan restoration.
