50 years ago, a hairy chest was considered to be a badge of machismo, modeled proudly by any man fortunate enough to have hyperactive follicles. Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, for example, championed the male scoop neck tee, which broadcasted his twisty tangle of chest hair. Virtually...
There you are, sitting in a metal tube flying high above the Earth at 34,000 feet, and only one hour to go before the captain announces it’s time to put your tray tables and seat backs in their fully upright and locked positions, and prepare for landing....
Everyone’s got that one man in their life: Well-groomed, decent style, no major red flags, and yet, there’s something that’s holding them back from putting it all together — or, better put, a lack of something. He doesn’t smell. No, I don’t mean “smell” like what a...
One of our greatest collective aspirations is achieving the appearance of eternal youth. Our depleted wallets, brimming bathroom cabinets and Botoxed foreheads are just a few testaments to that — the global anti-aging market is predicted to exceed more than $271 billion within the next five years....
Unlike teeth, the stoic gatekeepers of our mouths, a succulent pair of lips has an inviting presence, enticing others to press their own kissers against them. Unfortunately, their subtle and delicate makeup also leaves them prone to being cracked, discolored and mangled. On the upside, whatever shape...
I like to think my skincare routine is decent — I exfoliate, cleanse and moisturize often. But it still feels inferior whenever my girlfriend whips out her grandiose mechanical spinning facial brush. These brushes promise to make cleansing and exfoliating more effective, especially for people who wear...
Sex has the potential to be astonishingly dirty, and while I mean that figuratively, I also mean that quite literally. Look, fervently bumping bodies involves producing and swapping a hodgepodge of bodily fluids that inevitably linger around your nethers until the next shower. Which, for many, has...
Getting a haircut can sometimes feel like being operated on, at least in the sense that some person is chopping away at an extension of your body with an assortment of extremely sharp metallic items. It can be especially disconcerting when your barber keeps whipping out all...
So you want to change things up, huh? I don’t blame you. I often find myself wearing the same old clothes until my girlfriend inevitably complains about my T-shirts turning into caveman-style torso wraps. I also haven’t had a considerable haircut since some time back in 2015,...
I often observe, bemused, as my girlfriend fiddles with her eyelashes before presenting herself to the general public. She chomps on them with a strange metal clamp thingy, darkens them with some black sludge and combs them with a miniature round brush that looks like it was...
Much like the recent CBD boom, the last few years have seen American skin-care enthusiasts, captivated by esteemed Korean beauty companies, become thoroughly enamored with face masks. Such enthusiasts include my girlfriend (who enjoys the occasional post-shower face mask) and pretty much every other woman I follow...
In the last year, cannabidiol (aka CBD) has been touted as a panacea, able to cure (or at least alleviate) everything from chronic pain to cancer-related symptoms. It’s a belief that cosmetic industrialists are cashing in on: CBD-infused lotions and serums, which promise to relieve acne and...
