Nordgreen Watches – Superior Quality Timepieces For All!

May 27, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

The Nordgreen mission is to create classic Scandinavian designs for watches that truly meet the bar set by other famous Scandinavian designers (but without the price-tag).

Jakob Wagner, the well known watch designer who has worked with Bang & Olufsen, Hay, Muuto, and many more is also behind the Nordgreen watches.

The Philosopher is the watch that I was able to review for myself. This Nordgreen watch is designed to be an instrument of time, and it celebrates the ability to think differently. The shape of the case is conical, with a base wider than its face, creating a sharp characteristic two-piece dial that brings us hurtling through time to this moment now. The watch case has an elevated, and clean brushed look because of the way that the lugs tug under it. The asymmetric second hand that appears to continuously slice through time reminds us to learn from the past, act now, and create a better future.

One of the other unique things with the Nordgreen watches is that all of our straps come with a “quick-release” function, allowing you to change the look of your watch within a matter of seconds. And best of all, no tools are needed. This means then that you can have different straps that will completely change the look and feel of the watch itself.

Another great things is that a Nordgreen owner can enter their watch’s serial number and identification number on their Giving Back Program page, learn about the three causes that they contribute to, and then choose the cause that they believe in the most. A watch can contribute to saving 200 ft² of rainforest in Latin America, provide one month of clean water to a person in the Central African Republic, or provide two months of education to a child in India. This is because they’ve partnered with these three NGOs to give back; Cool Earth, Water for Good, and Pratham UK

Below I have shared more of my thoughts on Nordgreen Watches

New Watch From The Garwood Celebrates Partnership With Green Bay Packers

October 28, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

D.L.A is The Garwood‘s second exclusive special edition wood watch designed in collaboration with Green Bay Packer Wide Receiver, Davante Lavell Adams. This watch is perfect for gameday or any day. Designed in light American Maple Wood, genuine leather band, classic Green Bay Packer “Green and Gold” components, and Davante Adams’ personal emblem.

This new The Garwood is a great watch that not only has a great look and feel, but also a great story too. As someone that lived in Wisconsin for a few years and in living there you become a Green Bay Packers fan. This watch, with the distinct colors that any packers fan will love has been a watch that many people have commented on.

The watch is so comfortable to wear. I know for me, I am a fan of versatility and this watch really allows for that as well. I have found that this goes with my many things and whether it is a game day or not, I can wear this and not only be proud of my team, but also have a fashion statement that many will comment on too!

I highly recommend this great new watch from The Garwood.

Spring Cleaning with JORD!

March 23, 2017 by dadofdivas 2 Comments

After a long winter spring cleaning is a great time to refresh and renew your home and I know for my family this is a time to simplify too. We will go through things to get rid of things as well as to make repairs around the house as well. Below are a few tips that may be able to help you participate in your own spring cleaning.

5 Spring Cleaning Tips

When it comes to spring cleaning, work from the top down, inside to outside, to avoid getting what you just cleaned dirty again.
When tidying, reduce trips around the house by temporarily depositing items in one spot en route to but not at their final destination.
Make small repairs. If you’re not handy, hire someone.
Don’t stand your brooms on their bristles. It will destroy their shape and diminish their effectiveness. Instead, get a broom holder, like the Magic Holder 5-position broom organizer.
Do one room, even one area of one room, at a time to avoid unfinished jobs.

Also, with the end of Winter, you can also wash away their blues by working on your style. One way that I know that I do this is to find accessories that will accent your personal style. JORD watches do this for me. Recently, I have tried out the brand new Conway JORD watches.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE CONWAY!

The Conway is JORD’s first chronograph watch for men.
Chronograph watches are traditional display watches with the addition of stop watch functionality.
Chronograph watches were originally invented and used for tracking astronomical objects in the sky!
Chronograph watches are now popular in aviation, racing, diving, and most athletics where precise time-tracking can be utilized.
Many fashion chronograph watches on the market, don’t actually work! They just have the chronograph look on the face, but JORD’s Conway is a true operating Chronograph watch and uses the Citizen Miyota 0S10/0S1A movement.

Quality and Artistry on your Wrist Wearing a JORD Watch!

April 26, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Quality and Artistry on your Wrist Wearing a JORD Watch!

The JORD watch is a beautifully created watch that also has a huge artistic flare too. You see, I work in a professional environment and love to look my best. Not only do I try and look good from the clothes that I wear, but also in the accessories that I place on myself too. Recently, I have just learned about a watch that is simply beautiful.

In looking at the JORD watch company, these Watches Made From 100% Natural Wood by JORD
, I was really impressed that it is run by artists, designers, marketers, and minders. If you look at their mission they state that they spend their “days creating, considering, arguing, and hopefully agreeing. Then we’ll scrap it all for the joy of starting new. We have fun. This is our journey”.

They work to create timepieces that are modeled after a modern lifestyle. They also value sustainability, efficiency, and experiential living.

So the great folks at JORD sent me a watch to try myself and everything that I was reading about the company was solidified through the experience that I had in wearing this great watch.

The watch was beautifully crafted and with every link you can see the craftsmanship that went into the creation of the watch itself. Because they have you measure your wrist before you get the watch, you receive a watch that fits you perfectly too.

I was also impressed with the color of the watch that I received as well as how light the watch was too. When you wear this watch you will find that it feels that you are wearing anything.

Overall, I have been wearing this for a little over a week and I cannot tell you how many people have complimented me on the watch itself. I am so glad that I have found this great brand and I will definitely be looking at other JORD watches for myself in the future and you should too!

It’s Time for School With Chasing Fireflies ( @chasenfireflies ) #CFSchoolCool

August 22, 2013 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

When it comes time to get ready to go back to school, our kids want to look their best! No matter if that means clothes, shoes or other accessories, they want to be ready (no matter how much they fight us to get ready). I am always at a loss when it comes to knowing exactly what to get the kids it is nice when I can have a site the brings some hot back to school items together all in one place and Chasing Fireflies has done just that with their Back to School Pinterest Page – http://pinterest.com/chasingfireflie/back-to-school-2013/

I was asked to select two items from this page to try out with my own kids and I actually got the kids involved in the selection (as I did not want to hear that I chose the wrong items). My youngest daughter will be going to kindergarten this year and she has been growing like a weed over the past six months, so we really needed shoes. What was great about these personalized Converse shoes that you see to the top and bottom her is that they are personalized, and anyone that has young kids know that sometimes kids have similar shoes and having the child’s name on them just helps that much more. I was impressed with how quickly the shoes arrived after ordering, especially with personalization and they were of such high quality!

My eldest is always the more difficult one to shop for. For her she helped me select the Watch it Change watches that you see at the top of the post and below. This watch was great and was definitely a hit with Diva-J as first off she is always running late (so a watch was needed), but even better in her book were the different ribbons that the watch comes with that act as the watch band for the watch itself. So far she has really loved changing out the bands depending on what she was wearing and having a blast looking grown up with a grown up watch too. I loved the fact that Diva-J actually now has a watch, so I can tell her to be home by a certain time and she can’t tell me that she didn’t have a watch or was unaware of the time itself.

All-in-all I was impressed with the Back-to-school items that Chasing Fireflies offers as that are unique and different, which are two traits that both my daughters seem to enjoy! On top of this Chasing Fireflies also has a ton of amazing Halloween Costumes if you are in the market or are starting to plan early! Check out the selections here – http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/costumes/departments/46/
