DEBT CONSOLIDATION LOANS IN 60 SECONDS
DEBT CONSOLIDATION
LOANS IN 60 SECONDS
Homeowners have a home equity loan at their disposal as one tool for debt consolidation. This loan uses the equity in the home as collateral. To qualify for this loan, the homeowner must have a substantial amount of equity in the home and a good credit score.
Home equity loan interest rates are usually lower than rates offered by other types of loans. This comes with a big tradeoff- the home is put on the line for debts like credit card balances. If the borrower defaults on the loan, foreclosure may result.
If credit cards represent the majority of the debt, consumers may find that a credit card balance transfer provides them with the debt consolidation help they need. This requires qualifying for a credit card that offers a low interest rate or an interest-free introductory period.
Balances on higher interest rate credit cards are transferred into this lower rate card. Though this is not truly a loan, it represents a smart way for some people to lower their repayment costs for outstanding debt.
The credit limit on the lower rate card should be sufficient to accommodate total credit card debt. Consumers should be aware of when a promotional rate period expires and realize that placing too much debt on one card can negatively affect the credit score.
A personal loan features fixed payments made over a designated period. The loan can be used to pay off debt balances and then this funding can be repaid by the consumer over time via monthly payments.
A personal loan will not be the answer for everyone. Consumers with poor credit may have difficulty qualifying for a personal loan or may only qualify for a loan featuring a high interest rate.
Before agreeing to the loan, they should verify that the interest rate offered is lower than that associated with the outstanding debts. Otherwise, it does not make financial sense to consolidate debt using this tool.

How to Survive a Divorce, Financially
How to Survive a Divorce, Financially
n the whole, people take great comfort in permanence and regularity. No one gets married expecting to get divorced anymore than they go to Egypt expecting to see the pyramids crumble into sand. Nevertheless, the pyramids are eroding, and divorce rates have been increasing steadily.
Unfortunately, divorce rates are expected to climb, and they don't have the help of a pyramid restoration project to control the damage. When a divorce happens, it has a shattering effect on all areas of a person's life, including his or her financial life.
One of the most difficult things about a divorce is deciding who gets what. Spouses both have a financial and emotional investment in everything from the house to the stamp collection they kept together. People in the process of divorce usually do not feel overly charitable toward their soon-to-be ex-spouse, so their main concern is that they get what they feel they deserve from the settlement. This is why couples often focus on who gets assets and how future income will be divided while overlooking debts and loans.
It's better to sort these things out quickly and cleanly to avoid having the lawyers step in and drag out the process considerably which can be financially and emotionally draining.

Dolce and Gabbana in Court
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the famous Italian duo, are taken to court for tax evasion for an amount of almost 1 billion euros as media reported.
The designers whose brand is favored by many celebrities including Madonna and Naomi Campbell, handed over an acquittal last year to deny all charges to a higher court but has been refused and handed over to Mlian judge Giuseppe Gennari for further investigation.
The prosecutors claim that all D&G brands were sold to a holding company they had set up in Luxembourg back in 2004 to avoid the high taxes of Italy. This case is one of the few tax disputes involving celebs to go to court rather than reach a settlement. So far, no date has been set for the start of the trial.
Gabbana said in a tweet last week” Everyone knows tha

How to Find the Perfect Pair of Jeans
How to Find the Perfect Pair of Jeans
Jeans, since they’re origin over a century ago, have become a staple in every man’s wardrobe. Because of their versatility and vast selection, investing in the perfect pair of jeans can be quite a challenge. Finding the perfect pair to match your needs and body requires time and patience.
The difference between jeans and denim
Jean and denim are each different materials used in making the everyday pair of 'jeans'. The difference comes about in the production of both fabrics: denim is woven with two different colored yarns whereas jean is woven with two yarns that are both the same color. Denim tends to be more expensive and durable whereas jean is used for lighter clothing such as shirts. There are many companies out there such as Evisu and G-STAR RAW who use denim in its raw form to make their product, while other companies will use a blend of materials.
TIE THE KNOT WITH A TWIST
TIE THE KNOT WITH A TWIST
Not every girl wants a traditional white wedding with dripping pearls and diamonds. Some want to show off their individuality and self-expression with a funky brooch, a striking tiara or a snazzy pin.
If you are planning to walk down the aisle, and are looking for a unique piece of unconventional bijoux, then meet Tatiana Fayad and Joanne Hayek, the design duo behind Vanina. Friends since the age of fourteen these girls spent their time growing up designing quirky jewelry, using old coins, buttons and vintage stuff combined with odd bits and pieces. The results: unique one-off designs.
“We wanted to create pieces that were different, just for fun,” says Fayad, who is inspired by films, books and nature. “But our main inspiration remains Beirut itself and its people.” Their 2011 collection features a feminine and humoristic mixture of themes and styles, always carrying a message…be creative! “It is very important for the bride to be comfortable in her dress and confident about her look,” says Fayad. “It’s a little twist that will change her look.” During their first year at university - Tatiana studies marketing and advertising at Saint Joseph University and Joanne is an architecture student at the American University of Beirut – the young duo designed jewelry just for themselves. Family and friends loved the results and encouraged the girls to share their quirky creations with others. They launched their first collection in 2007. It was a sell-out. Orders rolled in and the girls decided to set up their own label. Their newly minted label was named Vanina, inspired by a song by Dave, a singer from Holland. Jewelry is what they started off with, and it is still the biggest part of their collection. Now their collection also features shoes, bags, dresses, t-shirts, and belts. Each design is unique and the creations vary from one week to the next. The duo creates according to whim reusing old bits and pieces found locally, or new stuff picked up abroad. “Sometimes we find out that a celebrity has worn a Vanina necklace or a pair of earrings in a video clip, or a shoot. We once came across a photo of a celebrity in a European magazine wearing one of our belts,” says Hayek.
So if you’re itching to trot down the aisle with a difference get your hands on these quirky designs,100 percent Lebanese and totally affordable; prices ranging from 12 to 350 dollars. Their designs also make great untraditional gifts for the maid of honor and the bridesmaids. Fayad and Hayek are still so young, 23, but, with years of design experience under their belt, these bold girls have big plans for the future. Now selling in Lebanon and the Middle East, and exporting to Europe, Asia and the States, they hope one day to open their own Vanina shop in their hometown of Beirut.
