While trekking through my Instagram recently there was a photo putting me on to something that should be a coup no longer for just the ladies. The famed Birchbox, which streamlines a way to discover high-end beauty, grooming, and lifestyle products now is available for us guys.

They basically sort through the clutter to send you what works and what’s worth the upgrade. To fully explain no one says it better than the company themselves:

Birchbox delivers the best products and the best insider secrets, without any fuss. Every month Birchbox members will receive a curated box of luxe beauty samples. Each box will span beauty categories and deliver exciting products that fit into both your day-to-day routine, and into those days when you want to turn up the drama a notch.

Co-founders Hayley Barna and Katia Beauchamp met at Harvard Business School. They created Birchbox to help consumers cut through the clutter of the retail world to find products that really work for them.

Based in New York City, Birchbox launched in September 2010 and extended into men’s products in April 2012. Birchbox has been featured by Time, Bloomberg BusinessweekInStyle and Marie Claire, among others.

Each month when you subscribe you’ll receive a selection of samples that have been tried (and retried) from both well-known brands and emerging gems. The men’s subscription delivers top-tier grooming products in addition to lifestyle accessories ranging from hip socks to tech accessories.

Now obviously style isn’t just about what you wear but a full on presentation. Men like women have to make sure the skin and body is up to par. Here is a way to find out whats best without having to climb thru the clutter. The work is done for you and for just $20 a month (more is spent once you step foot in a club let alone by the end of the night) you can go wrong in testing out the latest & greatest in skin care, style & tech. Click the link and see if Birchbox is for you.

Ladies, I know that we often do a lot of work with our hands. Whether it is washing dishes, or simply typing on the computer, our hands become very dry. Who wants to walk around with sand paper for hands? That is so not cute!

If someone shakes your hand, they shouldn’t feel callouses like you just got off of monkey bars.


If you do a lot of house work or suffer from EXTRA dry skin, try using Olive Oil. No not the oil sheen, but the actual cooking oil.

  • Pour about a tablespoon of oil on our hands and rub liberally.
  • Because it is oil you want to cover your hands with plastic glove or if you don’t have any get ghetto and use plastic bags
  • After about 20-30 minutes remove the gloves (or bags) pat hands dry DO NOT WASH THEM.
  • You will definitely notice the difference.
  • Complete this process nightly
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is cheap, convenient, and great for moisturizing the skin.
I’ve done it and it really works!

Well not you really, but your skin. It is important to have healthy and beautiful skin. It goes beyond your daily wash and moisturize routine. Your diet plays a roll in it too. Crystal Light: Skin Essentials is a drink that can help nourish your skin from within. It was developed with European dermatologists using natural plant extracts.
Stay away from the soda :-/ (I need my Welch’s Grape and Pepsi)
