How to smell amazing without suffocating the room

Fragrance should be subtle and intimate, not overpowering. Apply perfume to pulse points, avoid rubbing it in, and be mindful of seasonal changes. Winter’s cooler temperatures make scents last longer, but be cautious of external odours.

How you too can nearly, almost, probably become a Jedi Knight

At its core, 'Star Wars' is a classic tale of underdogs taking on a powerful enemy; it's a story of hope and perseverance, of standing up for what's right even when the odds are against you.

Actually, the 90’s was the greatest decade for cars

My love for cars is probably genetic. My father has a thing for simple old American cars with loads of torque: 70's cars basically. Part of his experience involved a 66 Ford Falcon that never ever stuttered or broke down while his later series of Mazdas, Datsuns and Toyotas often did. He would likely agree that the 70's was great for motoring. Except, it wasn't.

What the heck is UBER?

Plenty of confusion with what is Uber. Is it anyone’s car that is lying around? Is it a taxi? Is it a plane? The confusion stems from Uber itself for pretending to be like Johnny Depp: reclusive and quiet. Except Depp can handle the grief. Can Uber?

Fairlady 2000 rebirth

The Fairlady 2000 is the second generation of the famed line from Datsun.
