September… You can already feel it in the air, you are already in the new-season-update mood and you surely need a motivation to be happy about it! None of us wants to let summer go, but it’s not up to us. So, as I’ve said before, the best way to cheer up is to do some shopping; all-time-classic-guarantee. But after your gorgeous self and your wardrobe, you also need to update your favorite place on earth: your home! Because after the cloudy fall days spent at work, all you need is a beautiful atmosphere to relax with your friends and family. It’s time to get rid of all those summery decorations and lift the spirits with some new add-ons to your cozy palace. J And since I just love making people smiling – and shopping – I’m gonna share with you the way I chose to make my home’s transition from summer to fall easy; with the aid of Plow & Hearth of course!
When summer comes to an end, the first image I create is my buddies gathered in my living room, me sat on a rocking chair with a glass (monogrammed of course) of wine and the smell of burning wood all over the place. And for this simple reason, when I start thinking of fall home shopping, I unconsciously start from the fireplace. So, I started from a couple of accessories, because honestly, it’s much easier to get new ones than trying to clean and maintain the old (burnt and dirty) ones. Also, if your days are as hectic as mine and you are not in the mood of mixing and matching, then you’ll probably also get the Portfolio Fireplace Screen, Tool Set, Wood Holder and Hearth Center set which is absolutely gorgeous and combines both traditional and modern tastes. Now, you can get this one and save big with the Couponology exclusive 15% off Plow & Hearth promo code. Also, if you want to avoid all that dirt from the charcoal spreading around your house, then you need a nice and high-quality rug, like the hand- tufted Fire-Resistant Wool Pine Cone Rug that comes in green and chocolate colors.
Now that you have updated the fireplace, you understand that you need to do some changes to the rest of the room too, right? You can’t enjoy the warmth of it while sitting on light blue covers or drinking your tea in a mug with a fish on it. So, first off you need to get some new throws and pillows for your sofas and armchairs. Here, I can’t but share my favorite one, which is the Luxurious Faux Fur Pillow and Throw set, which is absolutely amazing. I don’t know if it had to do with the luxurious image of fur (faux of course, because we love animals), the relaxing color or just the photo that has a Yorkie in it, that I chose to buy it, but now I can proudly (since it was my choice) tell that the pillow is so comfortable and the throw so soft (plus it has again a Yorkie on it) that I just love it! But since pillows are never enough, especially if your puppy needs at least three to settle down, you might also like the Autumn Leaves Hooked Wood Pillows that will certainly get you smoothly into the new season mood.
But wait! Shopping needs no rush! Focusing on the fireplace doesn’t mean that you don’t need to make some changes to the other rooms or to your garden as well. If you want to let your home “wear” its autumn collection then you have to do it right. So just get online at PlowHearth.com and choose among an endless collection of indoor and outdoor living products that won’t only make you love September but also save you tons while allowing you to have the cutest house on earth! After all, it is your very own palace, so, shouldn’t it be as stylish and cool as you are?
If you own a Harley, then you know that Harley-Davidson is celebrating its 110th Anniversary this year and the celebration is no joke. With approximately 100,000 bikers expected to attend, Harley-Davidson has pulled out all the stops for this epic Labor Day Weekend celebration.
The Milwaukee home town party will feature scantily dressed women, mud wrestling and legendary concert performances from Kid Rock, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Toby Keith and more. The Harley community that will be in attendance is definitely a unique crowd. One percent may be outlaws but the other 99% includes a cornucopia of law enforcement, executives, laborers, politicians, doctors and so much more. As a matter of fact, it’s this diversity that takes every Harley-Davidson motorcycle on a unique journey from the factory floor through the imagination and creativity of its rider.
It’s interesting to see each owner’s personality through the customizations done on their ride. It could be an artistic tear drop chrome mirror or some bad-ass mini floor boards from Thunder Cycle Designs. Another interesting tell is the handle bars. It wasn’t until I started riding with a larger H.O.G. (Harley Owners Group) Chapter that I realized how many options and customization could go into a pair of bars. Besides the vast selection of grips, the bar itself can be Adjustable, Ape Hanger Bars , Clubman, Cruiser, Drag, Motocross, Z-bar or, my favorite, Beach bars. I like that cruising feel and look so I added a pair of Burly Brand Retro Bikini Beach Bars to my Fayboy that I picked up from CruiserCustomizing.com.
A motorcycle’s exhaust is one of the most commonly customized items. It is the life, breath and voice of the the bike.
Now, it’s not a requirement that you do anything to your bike. Harley-Davidson has been around for over a hundred years and their stock designs have stood the test of time. They are an American masterpiece of design and engineering. So don’t feel pressured to tamper with the mean and meaty look of the Softail or the Racer image the Dyna suggests. But if you do, start with the exhaust. That’s your bike’s voice. Let her speak to you and tell you what she wants and take your time. Add each piece slowly, so that she evolves and grows into your dream ride telling a story every step of the way.
