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...
I personally don’t mind tan lines. I was raised at the Jersey Shore — and now live in the Caribbean — so the beach has always been a lifestyle, and tan lines just come with the territory. “Believe it or not, some people love tan lines, especially...
You asked for a little bit off the top when you walked into the barber shop. “No problemo!” said the dude who’s now whacking your mane like a gardener who drank six espressos with his nose before trimming some bushes. Cold sweat cascades down your forehead and...

Compared to adults, children are basically aliens. They speak in tongues, engage in unimaginable rituals and have an endlessly particular set of needs. Because of this — and perhaps just as commonly, because of parental paranoia about this — all kinds of things are available in child-friendly versions, just in case...
Guys aren’t born with an instinctive knowledge of how to look the way they want to look. We don’t exit the womb with manscaping and moisturizing best practices etched in our brains — it’s something that’s (hopefully) picked up over time, from parents, from peers, even from...
Despite living at a time when science (mostly) trumps tradition, some of us still believe in old home remedies — like, for instance, curing body odor with vinegar or soothing dry skin with olive oil. But do any of these supposed “grooming life hacks” actually hold any...
Hairstylist Cleve McMillan weighs in on your burning questions about the mysterious adventure that is getting a haircut. I recently had my hair cut by a different barber at my go-to barbershop, and I felt like my usual barber was giving me the stink eye the entire...
