Many people make an effort to engage in asset protection and tax planning and it has been argued that, should Ed Miliband adopt such behaviour, he could stand to reap significant rewards.

The Labour politician currently resides in a home based in north London that is said to be worth around £1.6 million.

According to the Daily Telegraph, he was able to purchase the residence thanks to a “series of shrewd moves in the housing market”.

Obviously, if the Oxford Graduate was to put his home on the market, he would be likely to achieve a significant financial boost.

However, it has been suggested that thanks to his marital status, he could take advantage of tax rules to get even more cash.

Currently, the MP lives with his girlfriend Justine Thornton, which whom he has one child and another on the way.

Because they have not tied the knot, each of the pair would be able to nominate different properties as their primary residences and so legitimately avoid capital gains tax if one of them was sold.

However, a spokesperson for Mr Miliband suggested that neither one of the couple have any intention of doing this.

He stated: “Ed and Justine have always paid all and any taxes they were liable for. When they moved into their home together, they did so by selling their respective flats.

“Each of these flats were primary residences, as you would expect them to be. Ed and Justine enjoy independent careers and they have never sought to benefit financially from their unmarried status.”

Many consumers around the UK will be seeking to engage in effective asset protection and tax planning at present in order to ensure they keep their finances in good order despite the economic pressure being felt as a result of the recession.

Yoga is a wonderful form of exercise for good health, relaxation, stress release, and generally good for promoting physical wellbeing. If you are new to the practice of yoga, you probably have some questions about what you need before you start your first classes. For instance, what do you need in the way of yoga clothing? Here are some tips to help you buy your first yoga clothes.

First, think about what makes you feel comfortable. In the summer, what sort of clothing do you wear to keep cool? If you like shorts or Capri pants, it makes sense to look for a similar style of pants for yoga. The same goes for tops. Your clothing should be loose fitting enough to feel comfortable and allow plenty of room for movement and breathing, but not so loose that your body’s shape is lost in the folds of clothes. Your instructor needs to be able to see your body and the way it moves to help you do your stretches and moves correctly.

Men sometimes prefer longer pants and T-shirts, with a no-fuss sort of feel. Clothing that looks like general gym wear or casual clothing is usually preferable for men.

Now, pick some clothes you like. Yoga clothes don’t have to boring. They come in all different colours and styles. Don’t feel that you have to buy standard yoga clothing simply because that’s what others in your class are wearing, or other people you know are wearing for yoga. You should always wear clothing you feel good about, and that makes you feel confident, happy, and ready for anything.

If you are doing yoga as stress relief or to combat depression, you want to consider some brighter coloured clothes—perhaps some pink or yellow. The brightness of these hues may help to enhance a good mood.

Looking for some comfortable clothing to lounge around the house in? Sometimes it’s really hard to find clothing that looks nice but still feels super comfortable, and doesn’t require a lot of care and attention. Who wants to iron something or dry clean it if they are only go to wear it at home? Here are some tips to help you find that perfect comfortable casual clothing.

First, think outside the box. Most people head straight to a general clothing store t look for casual clothes. But if you want something comfy, why not try something more unusual like yoga clothes? Yoga clothes are often made of soft, organic cotton and can be very comfortable for lounging around in even if you never intend to take a yoga class.

Another idea is to buy loungewear. Cosy pants, tops, robes, and more are made for wearing around the house, but who says they have to be for just those lazy days when you are home alone? Even pyjamas can be worn as casual everyday clothing with all the cute, colourful designs available. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between a cute pyjama top and a normal casual top anyway.

You can also use discount, auction, and second hand sites like Ebay, Craigslist, and Gum Tree to find used comfortable clothing that still has a lot of wear left in it.

Or, if you want something no one else has, why not try having some casual clothes handmade for you? Etsy, Folksy, and Artfire make great places to look for custom made clothing.

So, the next time you think you want something really comfortable to wear around the house, skip the conventional clothing stores and think creatively. Why not buy those cute yoga clothes you saw? Who says you have to learn yoga to wear something cute?

Have some super cute new yoga clothes, but you want to make them more personally your style? Here are some great ideas to alter, decorate, and personalize your yoga clothing so that it perfectly suits your style.

First, choose some yoga clothes that you really like, preferably in light colours such as white, pink, pale green, yellow, etc., as lighter colours are easier to work with when decorating, painting, and drawing.

Next, decide what you want to do to alter or decorate your clothes. Draw some pictures or write some ideas down while brainstorming. With a plan, you are less likely to make mistakes.

Here are some items you might use to decorate your yoga clothes: fabric paint, fabric markers and pens, sequins, embroidery thread, beads, buttons, felt embellishments, ribbon, lace, charms, etc. For some great supplies, visit your local craft store or buy some vintage buttons or jewellery online.

These are some ideas to get you started:
1.    Put your name on one of your yoga shirts. Use fabric paint, embroider your name, or use glue and glitter to write the letters.

2.    Design a flower or a heart on your shirt or the leg of your yoga pants. You could use paint, glitter, beads, buttons, or a long piece of ribbon to outline your design.

3.    Decorate the cuffs of your shirts. Sew beads around the cuffs, or embroider little flowers. You can find tutorials for easy embroidery stitches online.

4.    Don’t have the guts? Take your favourite yoga shirt to your local screen printer and ask them to put a design on the shirt for you professionally. Less mess, and less potential for mistakes.

As you plan to decorate your yoga clothing, remember to try to express your personality and make your clothing your own. Imagine how your friends will ask you wear you got your clothes!. Looking for a Yoga logo on your cloth visit Megri digitizing
