Leviner Wood’s Easy Gifting for Him or Her: A Solar Charger for Your iPhone

Posted on January 24, 2012 by LW

This was the year for the smartphone and tablet wasn’t it? I think that everyone I know, with the possible exception of my mother, carries some sort of cool touch-screen device. Which means that we use them all the time. And, if you’re like me, you are frequently running out of juice for your iPhone. That’s where the SOL Hybrid Solar Powered Charger for iPhone comes in. Leviner Wood Client and exclusive man-on-the-street dealer for the SOL brought us one to try out. We were so thrilled, we asked to carry them for our gift line.

Triple your iPhone battery’s charge with the integrated solar charger! What? Cloudy, you say? No problem. The solar charger also uses indoor lighting to power you up where ever you are. By the way, it does that three time faster than your wall-charger, comes with a built-in flashlight in the protective case and three screen protectors.

Yeah, awesome. The Solar Charger, a great gift for him or her: $89.00 (click through to our website to be able to access our shopping cart feature and purchase the charger online.)

Never Let ‘Em See You Sweat, Even If You’ve Got a Good Reason.

Posted on January 13, 2012 by LW

We get a lot of this question from our clients: How do I prevent yellow armpit stains on my shirts?

Begin by wearing an undershirt. That didn’t help the Wood-man up there though.

The staining is caused by an interaction between your sweat (and pH balance) and the chemicals in the antiperspirant. A roll-on or gel will exacerbate the problem. Make sure it is completely dry before you get dressed.

I’ve had a lot of success from switching from an antiperspirant to a combination of deodorant and talcum powder (Shower-to-Shower, for example.) That hasn’t worked for Larry as well.

Another solution is to use less product (that comes right from Gillette Co., by the way). Most men assume that more works better — that’s not the case. A thin layer of protection is all you need.

If you launder your own shirts, pretreat the armpit with Oxyclean and then wash. You might also have your shirts laundered and ironed instead of dry-cleaned.

Any other solutions are more than welcome. What works for you?
