Review: The New Pilot Sport 4 SUV Tires By Michelin

A look at the streets or a brief analysis of sales figures clearly shows that SUVs are a thing. Lately, the tire manufacturer Michelin (and No. 1 gourmet guide) presents the new Pilot Sport 4 SUV tires, which was developed together with the most demanding manufacturers – tailor-made for all those who like to travel with space and comfort.

Performance SUVs are a growing business

Lamborghini’s sales increased to 5,750 vehicles worldwide in 2018, the reason is quickly explained: the Lamborghini Urus.* The Italian vehicle manufacturer is thus proving another phenomenon: performance SUVs are recording growing demand. For vehicles with more power, issues such as safety and longevity must also be taken into account. This makes it all the more important, that the right tire is used.

Our test drive in Portugal

Our goal is no less than the south of Portugal: the city of Lisbon with its pastel-colored houses, narrow streets and artistic corners, so wonderfully nestled at the shore of the Tejo river. The sun is shining, spring temperatures are pleasantly warm and our trip with the new Pilot Sport 4 SUV tires from Michelin is on the agenda. The Jaguar F-Pace is ready and we have quite an adventure ahead of us: it will take us across picturesque bridges, endless coastal roads and through the historic old town of Lisbon. lisbon old town lisbon lisbon portugal Pictures & rights by Thomas Lotter – http://lotterlive.de

Everything you have to know about mens bracelets

As a guy that really pays attention to details, one thing that comes to mind quickly when it comes to accessories are of course mens bracelets. There is a great variety of different models and they vary mostly in terms of material, quality and craftsmanship. Why do I love to wear bead bracelets? One of many reasons is, they are easy to put on and off and they do not feel clunky or heavy. 

Mens Bracelets by Azuro Republic – First impression

In general I loved to work with Azuro Republic. The contact was a very likeable guy from who I thought, represented the company very well. After the details were clear, I was fortunate enough to oder two of their beautiful mens bracelets for us. When the bracelets arrived at my place, I knew right away that I was up to something good! They are of a very high quality, you can really feel it.

High quality boxing

You may would expect to be sent bracelets in some little bag or something similar but no, where these came in was a pretty little box that is leathery on the outside and velvet on the inside. This not only makes it easy to store the bracelet but also makes sure that is stays clean and save.

Wearing experience and tipps how to combine

The Azuro mens bracelets feel very smooth. Since they are cut to size, they fit very well. Of course, if you would like to wear them a little looser, like me, you have to order them a bit larger. Like I have mentioned in the intro, the bracelets do not feel cluncky or heavy, it’s really nice to wear them.

Only if you are working at the computer, you might want to remove them while you’re at the pc or laptop – To combine the bracelets is super easy, you do not even have to because they look so nice by them selfs. But if you want to, I personally would pick a detail of what I am wear it and adapt to it. For example a tie or pocket square. Combinations like this give a very nice touch to the whole outfit and sends a message that you know your style game well. If you are wearing a watch as well, that would even put more attention to your wrist. I often switch wrists, sometimes I feel like having both, watch and bracelets, on the same wrist, like in the picture but most of the time I keep them separated. In terms of colours, Azuro Republic has you covered no matter what you desire. 

About Azuro Republic and Material

It’s all about being a true gentleman. Azuro Republic has more than 30 years of experience in craftsmanship and they made passion, equality, success and inspiration their core values.

Spain At Its Best – IT Boutique Hotels Mallorca

For quite a while now, Mallorca managed to prove itself as an eligible all-year-long holiday destination.  Mallorcas advantages are obvious; you get there within no time at all by plan and you can expect pleasant temperatures and sure enough some sunshine – no matter of the month you choose.

A Trip to Palma de Mallorca

The island east of Spains mainland offers much more than “the Ballermann” and is equally suitable to travel alone, in pairs, families or groups. Mallorca is waiting for you with all its charm of Spain, a mediterranean feeling and all its laid-back livestyle. Of course you wouldn’t want to miss a good bottle of spanish wine. Golf too has a big impact on the tourism to the balearic islands.

In low season you might want to choose a hotel in the capital, Palma de Mallorca, since – as beautiful as they are – the rural parts of the island won’t be offering much during winter.

When planning you’re journey to the island, the hotel of your choice will be one the most important factors. And since we like to travel in style, it’s almost impossible to find a spot as comfortable as the rooms in the IT Boutique Hotels.
