If you want to start a business that will surely usher in huge profits for you, you can build your own clothing retail shop. There are some entrepreneurs who fear that they will not be able to get back the money that they have put in when they invest on fashion clothes. However, this is not the case when you know where to get the best deals. In order for you to make your business do well, there are a lot of things that you have to consider first. If you’re into selling fashion clothing, you have to look for a supplier that will be able to provide you with reliable and affordable deals.

 

When choosing from a long list of clothing suppliers, choose a company or manufacturer that sells wholesale fashion clothing. One such company is CausewayMall, which is a Hong Kong fashion clothing manufacturer. This supplier is your choice wholesale online shopping mall, allowing you to make your order through the Web. This is very convenient since you won’t have to leave your store in order for you to shop for new clothing supplies. Opting to buy from CausewayMall will provide you with several benefits.

 

The first benefit that you enjoy from procurement at CausewayMall is the chance to avail of its low prices. When you order fashion clothing wholesale, it will be given to you along with a cut-off price. This Hong Kong clothing wholesaler sells its items at an economic price, when you shop in bulk orders. Another advantage that CausewayMall offers is the utmost trendiest styles in the fashion industry. This is something that you can expect, despite the fact that CausewayMall sells its wholesale fashion clothing at lesser costs.

 

CausewayMall always puts the interests of its clients first. This is the reason why you get reliable yet, cheap ladies wholesale clothing. Not only this, it is possible for you to shop from this fashion wholesale company even if you are not managing your business in Asia. CausewayMall sells its apparel internationally. This means that you can buy its affordable clothes anywhere you are in the world. The wholesale buyers of this manufacturer usually come from the United Kingdom, United States, Singapore, and Thailand.

 

The apparel that CausewayMall.com provides is inspired by Japan & Korea Fashion Clothing. This implies that your clothing supplies wholesale are comprised of chic and trendy designs. You can choose from cute designs such as bubble-sleeved blouses and lace skirts. Or else, you can go for funky styles like off-shoulder blouses and checkered cotton socks. Causeway Mall is also a sexy tank halter tops supplier, with styles taken from L.A. fashion and other top fashion districts.

 

There is no way that you can get designer clothes wholesale at affordable prices. Fashion clothing usually means expensive tags. But when you shop at CausewayMall, you will be able to supply your clothing retailer shop with designer and fashion apparel without sacrificing your profit. This could mean more customers and a higher profit margin for you.

Massage in Chiang Mai – “a Must After you Arrive.”

Posted on by
Reply


When you come to Thailand do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a massage.

There are different types of massages to choose from. Before I explain the different types I would like to stress that anyone having muscle injuries, problems such as thrombosis, varicose veins, arteriosclerosis, skin disease, heart conditions, cancer, wounds, cuts, ulcers, diabetes or arthritis should consult with their physician first before getting a massage. Once you get the physicians blessing and you have decided on the practioner you should let them know of any conditions which you may have which they should be aware of. You don’t want someone pulling on your fingers if you suffer from arthritis. Some of the more established massage salons will have you fill out a form before your massage so that they will know more about you and how best to massage your body.

Also before the massage remove body rings, watch, bracelets, or other items which might interfere with massage or restrict the circulation and movements. And the best time for the massage is when you are in a good frame of mind.

There are many types of massages but rather than detail each and every one we will concentrate on the more more popular types.

1) Swedish Massage:

Massage therapists use long smooth strokes, after applying massage lotion or oil on your body.

2) Aromatherapy Massage:

Aromatherapy massage is massage therapy with the addition of one or more scented plant oils called essential oils to address specific needs.

The massage therapist can select oils that are relaxing, energizing, stress-reducing, balancing, etc. One of the most common oils used in aromatherapy massage is lavender. Aromatherapy massage is particularly suited to stress-related conditions or conditions with an emotional component.

3) Deep Tissue Massage:

Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. The massage therapist uses slower strokes or friction techniques across the grain of the muscle. Deep tissue massage is used for chronically tight or painful muscles, repetitive strain, postural problems, or recovery from injury. People often feel sore for one to two days after deep tissue massage.

4) Shiatsu:

Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork that uses localized finger pressure in a rhythmic sequence on acupuncture meridians. Each point is held for for 2 to 8 seconds to improve the flow of energy and help the body regain balance.

People are normally pleasantly surprised when they try shiatsu for the first time. It is relaxing yet the pressure is firm, and there is usually no soreness afterwards.

5) Reflexology:

Although reflexology is sometimes called foot massage, it is more than simple foot massage. This type of massage works the internal organs of the body through manipulation of pressure points on the soles of your feet, applying pressure to certain points on the foot that correspond to organs and systems in the body. Reflexology is very relaxing, especially for people who stand on their feet all day or just have tired, achy feet.

6) Thai Massage:

You will have to decide between Thai traditional massage or Thai oil massage. The Thai traditional massge will likly be a little bit more strenuous with stretches, and utilizing the fingers, thumbs, knees, elbows and feet of the person giving the massage. This type of massage may be performed on a mattress on the floor to give the masseur or masseuse the ability to move around your body to apply pressure where required. Note that when I have received this type of massage the pressure has been firm but not excessive. I suffer from bad circulation in my legs and after a long flight my legs are particularly sore and in need of exercise or massage. The Thai oil massage may be performed on a table and be a bit more gentle.

Massage can be done for the purpose of relaxation or for relieving the symptoms of certain ailments. So first of all decide if it is your body or the mind that needs the massage the most. If it is the body then your best choices are deep tissue, shiatsu, relexology or Thai traditional massage. If it is the mind that needs the massage then go with Swedish, aromatherapy or Thai oil massage. Then decide if you want all or a part of your body massaged. It is possible to obtain a masssge for just the feet, or neck, shoulders and back, or a facial massage

For full body massage and where lotions of oils are applied it is best to shower before and after the massage. Otherwise your clothes will have the scent of the oil or lotion.

Should you come across a massage table where there is a whole at one end of the table then that is the end for your head. Yes your head fits into the hole.

There are also what some term as “dirty massages”. This is a massage salon which may offer more than a massage. Attendants may be selected from behind glass partitions and one of the offerings may be that of a “soapie massage”. Here the masseuse gives you a bath first followed by a massage. These types of massages are often found in what are called men’s clubs, or called health clubs. The premises may be considerably larger than that of a traditional Thai massage and much more decorative. The establishment may offer snooker, dining facilities, and karaoke besides massage services. You should understand that even though these establishments exist they should not be confused with the establishments which offer traditional Thai massage. For every large establishment that offers soapie massages there are probably another fifty that offer Thai traditional massage, oil massage, facial or foot massage.

The costs here in Thailand and downright cheap compared to most parts of the world. The hotel where you are staying may charge 50% to 200% of what the massage salon next door will charge. The surroundings may be a bit more opulent but other than that the massage may be identical. If you were here in Chiang Mai you could get a 2 hr. Thai traditional massage for only 400 baht or $10 US. So I would highly recommend that when you visit Thailand to find a good massage salon and treat yourself to a relaxing, comforting experience. The massage is very affordable, and the skills of the masseuses/masseurs is second to none.

Be sure to leave a tip for the person giving the massage if it met your expectations. The wages these people earn are very low and a decent tip can make someone’s day. If you want to save a buck or two on your vacation do it by booking cheaper accommodations rather than not tipping someone who deserves it.

In reality there are many legitimate massage facilities in many countries around the world where the masseurs or masseuses are required to have adequate training and, in some cases, even licenses before they can practice. Thailand is no different. Many of the staff performing massage in Thailand have completed massage school where they have undergone the training required for this specialized field of endeavour. After your massage you should experience either relaxation throughout the body or tranquillity of the mind, depending on which type of massage you selected. Tensions and concerns will evaporate, tight muscles will relax, and sometimes you may even fall asleep during the massage. With relaxed muscles, the blood circulation is improved. The body will receive more oxygen and nutrients and the immune system will be more efficient in fending off disease agents, thus lessening the chances of becoming ill. Pleasant surroundings are crucial. The most important factors are cleanliness, privacy, minimum noise level, a comfortable temperature, and good ventilation.

When the massage has been completed you should not get up immediately and get involved in strenuous or serious activities, but rather rest quietly for a few minutes in order to fully absorb the effects of the massage and appreciate the feeling of well-being and tranquillity.

You only live once so as I said earlier, treat yourself to a relaxing experience, you deserve it.

Open daily 10 a.m to 10 p.m. and if you Telephone 053-895571

you can get one of the lovely ladies to pick you up and bring you to the spa by car “for Free”.

Only a 5-7 min. walk from Central Mall (Huay Kaew Rd. location), 4 minute walk from H.S. Condotel 4 and 3 minute walk from Amari Rincome. So a great Spa and in a convenient location.

Included as part of our Chiang Mai Retirement services is a complimentary 1 1/2 hour massage at Doi View Massage & Spa. We want our clients whether they are male or female or couples to be relaxed after their long journey to Chiang Mai and how better to relax than with a soothing message

Driving in Chiang Mai, Thailand. – Can I, should I?

Posted on by
Reply


Having had my Driver’s License for 47 years now and having driven manual transmissions and automatics from Volkswagen bugs, to Corvettes, to Nissan 300 ZX Turbo’s to more refined Lincoln luxury cars you would think that I could drive anywhere in the world.

My driving record is excellent. No accidents and no points off in the last 6 years and that qualifies me for the best rating and the best insurance rate in Canada. An experienced driver with the best driving record.

Coming to Chiang Mai, Thailand and renting a car to see the sites and get around town should be a breeze you would expect. Well anyone who thinks so is dead wrong.

Driving here has to be seen to be believed. Do not try it unless you know someone here who has educated you as to What to Watch Out For.

Here is my list:

The lines on the roads do not mean a thing here. You can drive on them, you can drive on the side of them, but do not expect drivers to drive between them. Why? Because on the left side of the road you will find motorbikes so cars move over knowing that this is the preferred route of the motorbikes. That is one reason. Another is that both red taxi’s (converted pick up trucks used as taxis) and tuk tuk’s (three wheeled motorcycles used as taxis) move over from the fast lane to the middle of the two lanes in an attempt to pick up more passengers and yet not lose out on positioning in a fast lane of traffic.

Traffic signals do not mean a thing here. Vehicles can jump the green and make a turn against the flow of traffic if they are hmmm. the first, second, third or even the fourth vehicles in line at a red light as you want to cross an intersection with the light just having turned green. Expect vehicles to run the red if it just turned red hmmm. what one, two, or perhaps three seconds ago.

Watch out for the 3 wheeled bicycles. These are normally driven by slim men in their sixties who have doing this for years. This may have been a fashionable and popular means of transportation 50 years ago or so but now it is a danger out on the roads as they move along at 4 mph on streets full of cars and motorcycles, all of which are in a hurry to go somewhere.

Watch out for vendors pushing their carts at 2 mph down the street on the left hand side of the road.

Watch out for dogs who lay on the road and refuse to move or move reluctantly as the last second.

If you are keeping up with the flow of traffic on a fast moving road at 45 mph in bumper to bumper traffic EXPECT someone to tailgate your vehicle. Oh maybe 10 ft from your rear bumper or perhaps 5 ft. from your bumper. Nice, polite, quiet people that they are Thai’s when they get behind the steering wheel change they make a transition from Mr. Hyde to Dr. Jekyll.

In my opinion most drivers here only have the mandatory basic insurance which is almost useless should they have an accident. So they try to be careful and not hit other cars by driving 3 ft away from vehicles on their passenger side. Either they cannot judge the distance as they are inexperienced drivers or they are extremely careful, either way they will drive down the street using part of your lane forcing you out of your lane.

Overtaking can be done regardless of whether you do it by passing the vehicle in front of you on the left or right side. So if you drive down the road EXPECT to see a vehicle coming straight for you in your lane passing a slower vehicle. They will pass and expect you to slow down or move out of your lane as they are going somewhere in a hurry.

Overtaking another vehicle will happen by vehicles going uphill and not seeing what is ahead of them, overtaking will occur on turns and the drivers not seeing what is ahead of them, overtaking will occur whenever and wherever.

Pedestrians crossing with the traffic light green DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY, vehicles go first and you should cross when you it is safe to do so.

Now having said all of that you may be thinking to yourself, Is this guy trying to scare me, is he trying to be funny, does he not want me to drive in Chiang Mai? The answer to these questions is:

I want you to know what you will be facing should you decide to drive here. I want you not to injure yourself or someone else thinking you can go ahead and rent/drive a vehicle without having driven here before or without some advice.

When I first arrived and saw the traffic I thought that I would never be able to drive here. Well now I do drive here. I know what to watch out for and drivers running greens or red lights does not surprise me or anger me. I merely expect it.

The Thai drivers here have probably not had any formal driving instruction, they may not have any decent insurance coverage, and they may be pushy when it comes to driving as they may be in a hurry to earn money so that they can feed their family. So nothing against them, I try to understand their driving habits and adjust mine accordingly. No matter how they drive they are happy go lucky, cheerful, hard working people and I love them.

Women’s Underwear: Bridget Jones Can Keep Her Underwear

Posted on by
Reply


To keep your relationship interesting sexy lingerie is the way to go. But then of course you will have to choose the right lingerie or underwear. If you wear an item your partner does not like or have to laugh or giggle about, your intentions will go down the drain. How do you know what is hot and what is not hot?

First is very important to do research on what is the biggest lingerie no no. Research has shown for instance that there is nothing women hates as much as the construction worker décolleté. Wide polka dot boxers and cartoon animations on his underwear is also not very appealing to women. And for those of you who thought a male string is the most seductive item to wear is wrong: two third of all women thinks this is not sexy at all.

An absolute not for women’s underwear are the Bridget Jones underwear, and those pointy bras are also a no no. The biggest turn of for men are women who look great in their trendy outfit but wear worn out underwear under a beautiful outfit.

So we have a lot of does and do not’s: But ok we do have to put in the effort to look sexy for our significant other! And it is a good thing that to conclude this cuts both ways. For him as well as for her.

Make sure that your underwear is the right size and that it looks good on you. Then you do not have to necessarily look extra sexy to in order to enjoy a lovely evening together.

Also very important! You have to feel comfortable in what you wear. So if you do not like too much lace or a tight boxer shorts, then only wear those on special occasions and make sure on all other days that you look good in you underwear.

Recycled Clothing – AKA Hand-Me-Downs

Posted on by

Lately the fashion industry has come under fire for its damage to the environment. The use of fabrics such as polyester, nylon, rayon, flame retardant and no iron fabrics containing Teflon for clothing consumes a great deal of natural resources and produces toxic chemicals. So much toxic waste is created that the EPA has classified the clothing industry as a hazardous waste generator.

Efforts are underway to encourage people to recycle clothing in an effort to minimize the industries impact on the environment.

• Hand-me-downs: The oldest form of recycled clothing is to hand down clothing from child to child within a family. For the last child in the lineup, creative ideas to make the clothing fashionable must be used. Instilling a strong sense of protecting the environment is necessary to overcome the child’s desire to have the latest fashions.

• Thrift stores and second hand shops: Many charitable groups and hospitals run thrift shops to raise money for their organizations. These are great places to buy used clothing. Learning the best days to shop can mean that you have high end clothing choices. It is not unusual to find high-end clothing items, often with the price tags still attached for pennies on the dollar. For many thrift store purchasers these finds can be the highlight of their day. Many women shop the thrift stores and after wearing the clothing for a few times donate them back to the store. This keeps their wardrobe fresh all the time.

• Consignment Shops: A consignment shop is a store, that for a fee, will sell your used clothing (and anything else for that matter) for a percentage of the selling prices. If you have high end clothing and hate the thoughts of just donating them to a charity, consignment shops will help you recoup some of the initial costs for the items.

• Drop off bins: Some charities place donation bins around the city. Used clothing can be placed in these bins for pick up. These bins are losing favor in many areas. Overflowing bins are unsightly and often garbage is put in the bin, making the clothing inside unusable. They are also a target for vandals.

• Antique stores: This can be an interesting place to shop for some unusual old clothing. Wearing an antique dress to an afternoon “tea” with the girls can make a real fashion statement. You will never make the ultimate faux pas of showing up with the same outfit that someone else is wearing.

• Grandma’s old clothing: Some of grandma’s old stuff can be used in the same way as the antique clothing. A bit of creative designing can make that old stuff new again.

• eBay: Have a favorite piece of clothing? Go to eBay and see if it is up for sale or auction. EBay even allows you to set up alerts. When your favorite item comes up for auction, you are notified. Clothing with logos from sports teams, television star, and music icons are always available on eBay. Some of this stuff is black market items from Asia so beware.

• Swap parties: Popular in Europe are swishing parties. Attendees’ bring a quality item of clothing and items are swapped. Great way to have a get together and get rid of some old clothing. Have a swishing party for a teen’s birthday for something unique.

• Reuse: Check your closets for old items that can be remodeled into something new. Make a grocery tote bag out of an old pair of jeans or a new purse.

• Tag sales/garage sales are a great place to buy used clothing. It’s not uncommon to find designer clothing items, labels included, for as little as twenty five cents.

These are only a few of the ideas for recycling clothing. Getting over the mentality of having to have the latest fashion may take some doing, but the rewards to your pocketbook and the environment are great. Getting children to buy into this concept is difficult. Spend a Saturday with them going to garage sales and make a game of trying to buy an entire wardrobe for fewer than two dollars. Spend the money you saved to treat them to a movie.

Couple recycling with the use of detergents that extend the life of clothing, use of natural products for cleaning, purchasing more durable eco-friendly fabrics and you have a winning combination for your family budget and the environment.
