5 Ways in Wearing
B E A U T Y
Men!
Scarves for
Although it seems a bit early for the scarf to be included in our outfits of the day, it’s not a bad thing to be prepared once fall comes. Scarves are usually avoided by most men because some have inhibitions about wearing them. Yes, it is an article of clothing that women wear a lot. But that doesn’t mean that men will be accused of being too feminine if you wear one. It’s stylish especially if you are looking for the classy look and besides, it was made for a purpose and that purpose is to keep you warm. But if the main reason you don’t wear them is because you don’t know how to wear them, then worry no more. Here are a few ways in wearing scarves for men.

5. The Jetsetter To start off this list is something simply done but trendy at the same time. Wearing your scarf Jetsetter style is simple. All you have to really do is wrap the scarf around your neck. The ends should be tucked in so that it isn’t visible. This look works well in a casual environment.
4. The Sophisticate Just as the name entails, it is a classier look especially when you are wearing a coat. Just like how you would tie a tie, drape it around your neck and make one end longer than the other. Grab the longer end and wrap it around your neck. Make sure to keep it loose as you don’t want to be chocked by it.
3. Fake Knot If you don’t want to be burdened by how it will look, then just do the fake knot. All you have to do is keep both ends together, wrap it around your neck and then insert the combined edges into the other end. This way it will look as if you tied it in an intricate manner, when really you didn’t do much.
B E A U T Y
2. Parisian Knot Everybody knows that Paris is the capital for fashion. So, of course they would have their own style of wearing scarves named after the famous city of romance. Drape the tie on the back of your neck, then wrap both ends around and make the edges drape on your back. You’ll look fashionable and stay comfy all at the same time.
&
1. The Drape
M A R L I N
If you’re not the type of person deal with too much complication, then by all means keep it as simple as you want. If you are going to wear a scarf in the most simplified way, AKA draping it around your neck, then opt for a shorter length. All you have to do is pick out the scarf that matches the design and color of your outfit and drape it on to the back of your neck while the two ends lie on the front.

It has already been established that a modern gentleman in this day and age needs more than good looks and charms. They need to be fully clad with different articles of clothing that especially brings out their manliness and unique character. However, having a very stylish arsenal of wardrobe is not enough, you must also make sure that you are well suited to the very persona that you are trying to project to everybody.

A way in order for you to effectively make a lasting impression through your preferred character is by wearing the perfect scent that would complement you. For the true blue gentlemen of our time, we it is very much imperative that you sport the right perfume, cologne, or just simply scent that would match you, and just like clothing wearing such scents needs to be fashioned to your specifications. In order to do so here are some quick tips to follow:
Follow Your Instincts – in choosing for your scent you must at all times try to
more instinctive rather than inquisitive. Before asking for what is inside every bottle, you must first try to experience the scent and let it interact with you. From there gauge your reaction and let the scent tell its story to you.
Do Not Get Blinded By Brands – most known brands of perfumes and co-
lognes focus on selling out, as well as in having their products being advertised by celebrities rather than putting their heart and soul in creating a wonderful olfactory sensual experience in a bottle. As much as you can find a scent that is uniquely yours coming from brands that represent a perfumer since it gives you an assurance that they are soulfully made with the utmost of olfactory satisfaction. The most genuine lavishness is the scent that is created just for you.

The 5 Most Important
B E A U T Y
Live By
Beauty Rules to
1. Don’t Compare
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Just because she’s beautiful doesn’t mean you’re not. There’s not a limited supply. And while we’re at it—there’s no age or weight limit, either. Celebrate your beauty, celebrate her beauty, be grateful for your unique differences.
2. Wear As Much, or As Little, Makeup As You Want
Hate wearing makeup? Ditch it. It is not required to be the fabulous beings we are— and your bank account will probably thank you. Love makeup? Live in it. Even if that dude in your life says he prefers you without it. It’s not his face.
&
3. Don’t Take It Too Seriously
Wing your eyeliner! Wear bright coral lipstick! Dye your hair! Cut bangs! This is supposed to be fun, peoples.
4. You Do You
M A R L I N
There is no wrong answer. Except maybe those zig-zag headbands we wore in middle school, those were questionable answers...
5. Who Cares?
When I start to obsess over my imperfections, I’m comforted by Tina Fey’s wise words, “If you retain nothing else, always remember the most important rule of beauty, which is: Who cares?” Seriously, who? Let’s be real. Everyone is far too concerned with themselves to notice that you have a new wrinkle, new pimple or new pound. Anyone who matters knows you’re beautiful and nothing is going to convince them otherwise.

Natural Looking Makeup for Blonde Eyebrows Found It!
B E A U T Y & M A R L I N

BEAUTY & MARLIN MAGAZINE
BEAUTYANDMARLIN.COM
If you, like me, have light eyebrows, you probably struggle to find a pencil, powder or gel that doesn’t make you look like you’re about to host The Hunger Games. I wonder how the Sephora makeup artists keep a straight face after turning my eyebrows a deep gold or orange with their overpriced brow enhancer of choice. Yes, blonde brows are the hardest to color-match but they’d also benefit the most from said products. Which is why I was so excited to stumble upon Maybelline’s Brow Drama Mascara in blonde. And no, they’re not sponsoring this post—but I had to share the affordable find with anyone else who might be hunting. While no product is perfect for everyone, I have naturally dark blonde hair with matching eyebrows and this soft brown tint is the most natural I’ve found. A little goes a long way, so you’ll want to clean off the excess from the brush and lightly sweep it over your brows until you reach the level of darkness you desire. The extra cool thing about a gel versus a pencil or powder is that it actually sculpts the hairs and keeps them in place. Now, if you have extra blonde brows, I recommend skipping this altogether and purchasing a clear mascara at your local drugstore, like this or this. I honestly have no idea who uses this “mascara” on their lashes—what. is. the. point.—but before my Maybelline discovery, it was my go-to brow makeup. You can not only shape your eyebrows but darken them just slightly in the same way wet hair is darker than dry. It’s subtle but impactful and makes it easy to conform rebellious strays. Give it a go! May the odds be ever in your favor.

Souvenirs You Should Buy When Traveling in Japan! 7 Best
B E A U T Y
Traveling is something that you experience. From packing your things, going to your destination and the trip experiences that you have along the way, traveling is something that everyone should definitely do at least once in their lifetimes. But of course aside from taking pictures, travelers tend to buy little trinkets or souvenirs to remind them of amazing memories that they have made at that particular place. With that, if you are traveling then the souvenirs are just as important. If you are planning on traveling to Japan, then you should do a little research on which are worth buying. Here are some of the best souvenirs you should buy when traveling in Japan.
7. Tokyo Banana
&
Why don’t we start off this list by introducing a snack that is internationally popular. A lot of people go to Japan just for the purpose of buying these delicious snacks. Just like the next souvenir, this is for those who have a sweet tooth to satisfy.
M A R L I N
6. Shiseido Candy If you have a sweet tooth, then visit the parlor located in Shiseido and enjoy all sorts of candies and sweets. Although at first you would think that it is a brand for cosmetic products, not a lot of people know that they actually have they’re own restaurant and cafe chains.

5. Senjafuda Straps If you visited Japan because of your love for anime, then you probably know all about the shrines that Japan is so famous for. And not just the shrines but the rituals, ceremonies and items of luck that you could purchase. Visit the shrines that specifically make these Senjafuda Straps and get one for yourself.

4. Folding Fans Japanese tradition involves a lot of intricately designed folding fans so why not stick to tradition and familiarize yourself with the customs that the Japanese people have. Besides, if you travel in the summer, you’re going to need it.
& M A R L I N
3. Electronics The first thing that people think about whenever they think of Japan is state of the art, out of this world technology, which is actually true. So since you are already at the technology center of the world, then might as well buy from there.

2. Shibuya Souvenir Vending Machines If you are passing by the Shibuya district, then you should take some time to go to the souvenir vending machines. The Japanese people are experts in convenience and compact materials so imagine what would be inside those vending machines. Check it out and see if you find something you like.

But wait, I’m not done yet. It’s not only that they will get more retirement money than you, but they’ll even get more retirement money than the amount that you will most likely earn working for the rest of your life! Way to pop the bubble of hard work, right?
As much as you want to live the grand life (which is for me, sipping champagne whilst on my yacht) upon retirement after decades of hard work, sometimes, our retirement savings is simply not enough to fulfill every single retirement dream. And today, I’m afraid I’m going to make you feel even more discouraged. I’m going to share with you, three CEOs who will make more money than you in their retirement. You might think: sure, it is already a given that they are going to make more than me in their retirement, they’re CEOs for crying out loud!
It is said that the average American makes almost two million dollars in their lifetime. This means that there is a huge possibility that you will make around the same amount as well. Well, here are our CEOs, though, and their monthly retirement check.

AF-S Nikkor 105mm F/1.4E ED to Celebrate 100 Million Lens Milestone Nikon Unveils
B E A U T Y
Nikon announced what is being called the world’s fastest 105mm prime lens today: the AF-S Nikkor 105mm F/1.4E. Nikon’s launch of the 105mm f/1.4 lens is timed to commemorate a particular achievement for the company, 100 million Nikkor lens units produced worldwide. The new AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED is a fast, full-frame (FX-format), medium-telephoto prime lens. It’s also the world’s first to combine the 105mm focal length and the large f/1.4 aperture. This new Nikkor lens from Nikon is designed for professional and advanced enthusiast photographers, and suited for portraiture, “from in-studio fashion to a golden hour engagement session on the beach,” as Nikon USA put it in today’s announcement.
& M A R L I N
“These users will love the precise sharpness from this fantastic glass, which provides a flattering compression to subjects with a sensational, sultry bokeh,” Nikon USA said. “Sharp rendering is attained for shooting distant subjects throughout the aperture range – from maximum aperture to being stopped down by several stops. Gradual alteration from the focal plane helps render subjects in high-fidelity with a natural depth, giving colorful portraits and landscapes that little bit of extra ‘pop’ to help create a truly distinct image. “

BEAUTY & MARLIN MAGAZINE

The AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4 is also designed for low-light photography, thanks to its large maximum aperture, which allows photographers to shoot at fast shutter speeds. The new lens is also designed to reproduce point light sources without sagittal coma flare, including on the edges of the frame. The Nikkor 105mm f/1.4 features Nikon’s electromagnetic aperture control technology which is designed to produce consistent exposures, even during high speed continuous shooting. The lens is sealed and gasketed to prevent dust and moisture from seeping in. Additional Fluorine coatings are used on the front BEAUTYANDMARLIN.COM & MARLIN MAGAZINE and rear elements so that smudges, dirt or moisture canBEAUTY be removed more easily. Inside the lens, the optical formula consists of 14 elements in nine groups, which include three ED glass elements. A 9-blade diaphragm helps to create a circular out of focus area. The lens also features Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat technology to reduce ghosting and flare. The new AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED joins other Nikkor f/1.4 lenses in the Gold Ring Series, which include only premium primes with Nano Crystal Coat and prograde build quality. These other lenses include the AF-S Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G, AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G, AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G, AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G. The AF-S Nikkor 105MM f/1.4E ED goes one sale in late August 2016 for a suggested retail price of $2,199.95.

Health Benefits of Consuming Carbohydrates! 3
B E A U T Y
Carbohydrates have always been stereotyped and labeled as something to avoid when you want to lose weight. Such a statement is just pure ignorance because carbohydrates are essential to your body. This kind of misconception contradicts the true purpose of wanting to be healthy. Sure, if you are aiming to lose weight, losing carbs will definitely do that for you. But that is a very unhealthy way of losing weight. Weight loss should always be related to becoming more healthy, not just because society tells you to lose weight. Carbohydrates will help you achieve that. Here are some health benefits of consuming carbohydrates.

3. Energy source Most people think that fats are the main energy source when it comes to the food that we eat. However, carbohydrates are actually the main sources of energy that the body needs. There are many different types of carbohydrates that help your system function smoothly. One example are fibers. Fibers are very well-known for their important part in the digestive system. If you skip on carbs, then you are anything but healthy. Carbohydrates are essential to your daily life especially if you do a lot in the day such as work or go to school. You’re going to need a lot of energy for those activities.
2. Weight control The irony of it all is that society thinks that carbohydrates should be dropped all together to lose weight. However, in reality, eating carbohydrates actually help you lose weight the right way. If you choose the right kinds of carbohydrates such as whole grains and vegetable starches, your body will adjust to the change and you will have nutrients on top of losing weight. It all depends on which kinds of carbohydrates you choose to it.
1. Mass gain If you are trying to get big by working out and eating healthy, then you probably already know that carbohydrates are great sources of energy. If you choose the right kinds of carbohydrates such as specific starches and fibers, then you will have as much energy as you can to put into your work out schedule. You will not be as tired because after all, carbohydrates are good sources of energy. As long as you know what types of carbohydrates there are, you will be able to make a decision that doesn’t require you to starve yourself. Living a healthy lifestyle should be the ultimate goal for someone who wants to actually be healthy and stay healthy for a long time!

Hence, it is not surprising why we tend to let ourselves off the hook sometimes when it comes to our diet. Sure, we love to work out, go to the gym, tell ourselves that we are leading a healthy lifestyle – but are we really? Let us start by examining how we eat. There is a good statement that most of us would love to hear from our dietitians at any given day: “it’s okay to eat or drink anything as long as it’s done in moderation”. But, what in the world does “eating in moderation” means really?
Eating In Moderation Allow us to examine this term a little bit closer and share with you what it truly means. According to dietitians the problem lies with the term because it is being used as an excuse to eating whatever whenever, not to mention that some parents might be thinking of it as an excuse to develop unhealthy eating habits with their kids. So here’s the deal. Eating in moderation actually means that you can eat any treat (yes, ANY treat: chocolates, cookies, cake, etc.), as long as it only makes up ten to twenty percent of your daily calorie intake. For instance, you need 2500 calories a day, then that would give you the license to eat 250 to 500 calories’ worth of cookies, chocolate, and cake every day without feeling guilty – because you are actually eating “in moderation”, strictly speaking. And that my friends, come straight from the nutritionists themselves. You can count on that. No more cheating!

If your relationship is already intimate enough that toys are just a regular thing now, then by all means bring it along. Just make sure to do some research before leaving. If you choose a place where they are illegal, then you are going to encounter problems. Check online if they are okay to bring and make sure that the batteries are separate so you can declare to it customs without having difficulties.
In case of emergencies kit. If you are in foreign land, then it’s probably difficult to get around and ask where the nearest convenience store is to buy condoms and lubricants. And even if you do find the convenience store, it’ll take a lot of effort and time instead of just actually doing it when you get there. Buy it before you leave and include it in your luggage. You can never be too sure and preparation is key for a successful vacation. If you really want to enjoy your stay, then you should always be prepared for everything.
Sexy lingerie for her. Obviously you’re not the one who’s going to be wearing it so take the initiative to ask her if she could bring some for the trip. The anticipation between you two is already enough to create sexual tension. But the moment it actually happens, it will turn out to be the best time you’ve had in a while. Have a little fun and go out of your comfort zones as long as you are both willing to experience it together. You paid a lot for your vacation. might as well take advantage of it.

Signs That Tell You That You Are Officially Her Boyfriend!

Dating nowadays aren’t what dating meant in the past. Courting would be the correct term and it would take a while before two people would be officially a couple. In recent years, dating is the new expression for couples and they label themselves as officially dating and what not. But when do we know if the actual label of being boyfriend and girlfriend starts? Does it happen while a couple is on a dating phase or after actually saying it in words? If you are in a confused state in your relationship, then perhaps you need a little help. Here are a few signs that tell you that you are officially her boyfriend.

The infamous toothbrush by the sink. It doesn’t only apply to toothbrushes since it could be a general term to her things being inside your place. However because in popular culture, if her toothbrush is already inside your restroom right next to yours, then it may just be the sign you have been looking for. if she has already put a toothbrush at the holder, then she sleeps over more than the required time for someone who isn’t girlfriend material. She may just be bringing it out of you by giving you hints that you are actually an official couple.
Meeting the parents. If you have met her parents whether together or just one at a time, then most likely she considers you as her official boyfriend. She wouldn’t introduce you to her family if you weren’t especially if you have met already the dad. But to those who still haven’t met the parents, may she has been hinting at wanting you to meet her parents. It’s already a big step into becoming official once you notice that she wants you to meet her family. If so, then you are definitely on the track to becoming a couple.
Intimate without being intimate. You can be intimate by having sex. That doesn’t count since you can even have sex on the first date. It’s nothing new or unusual. However, if you do end up becoming intimate without actually being physical or verbal about it, then she probably wants you to make it official. It’s normal for adoration to occur in a relationship. But as soon as she’s head over heels about you and you feel the same, then you are definitely on your way in becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.
