Here’s Why I Love Punta Mita

Renato Compton September 14, 2017September 21, 2017 Destinations

I am always waxing lyrical to everyone I meet about how much I love Punta Mita and why I think they should go there on their next holiday. There really isn’t anything to dislike about the place, it’s heaven!

There are loads of hotels there but now Punta Mita vacation rentals are so good we are all spoiled for choice. So after you’ve sorted out your accommodation, here’s what you can look forward to.

World Famous Diving

Before I visited Punta Mita I had never been diving or even snorkeling, but there you will find some of the best diving in the world. It doesn’t matter, if like me, you have zero experience because they have some world class instructors to help you along. When you get under the sea you’ll be amazed by what you find – tropical fish, dolphins and even sea turtles. There’s also the chance to explore the reefs and underwater caves as well.

Sell Your Car Online

Renato Compton September 1, 2017 Tips

Selling your car online is a great way to increase exposure to potential buyers well beyond your neighborhood or zipcode. Gone are the days of putting an ad in the newspaper or sticking a for sale sign on your car in hopes of landing a private sale based on passersby. There are so many buyers out there and geography or proximity are no longer limitations in finding them.

To get started, head over to Cars.com and begin creating a listing. If this is your first car listing on the site, you’ll need to start by creating an account. Once your account is created, click on the build new ad link. The basic package for selling your car on the site is free. This package includes up to five photos of the car, an active ad for one month with renewals for free and reports available to gauge how potential buyers are interacting with your ad. There is also a plus package on the site for $20 which includes 10 photos and a two month run, and premium package which runs for 150 days and includes 15 photos and a free CarFax report.

Minneapolis has a lot going on, and it even has a twin city, St. Paul, right next door. There is so much to offer in terms of arts, culture, great food, and great hotels in Minneapolis. Everyone should visit, so hopefully this guide inspires you to plan a trip to the Twin Cities.

Take In the Sights of City Hall

This wonderful old building is a Minneapolis icon, with its green roof and stately architecture. It’s a fine example of early 20th-century architecture, and it was once one of the highest buildings in the city. The most interesting part has to be the marble ceiling, which is incredibly beautiful. Minneapolis City Hall is a great place to explore or simply admire from the outside.

I thought that this would be a great reason to write a little something about what men should wear to look extra special. So read on to find out more and I hope you enjoy reading about it.

Invest in accessories

Accessories are the perfect way to jazz up an outfit and add a level of polish that other guys only dream about. Experimentation is key here and you could try out many different things.

You can get some really great belts, bags and other accessories from great shops like Mainline Menswear.

The South is steeped in history that spans much more than Southern belles, debutante balls, or Sunday barbecues with smoked meats and crawfish boils. In the past decade, there’s been a revival of the Old South with a new spin, particularly when it comes to the food scene.

Many local chefs are going back to their roots and celebrating Southern cuisine with long forgotten ingredients and menu items. These chefs are also evolving the culinary history of the South by drawing on newer immigrant cultures. It’s this mixing of the Old South with the new that makes a weekend in Charlotte a must.
