Many apartment hoppers, accustomed to ancient appliances and sputtering sinks, can only dream of someday having a dishwasher. When that day comes, they hope, life will finally feel comfortable. In the time they’d normally spend scrubbing plates and soaking utensils, they can instead read a book, water a plant or whatever else people...
Excessively bushy eyebrows can be troublesome, sure, but at least they provide something to work with; a carving stone to sculpt as you so choose. For those with thin eyebrows — or God forbid, no eyebrows at all — their options are much less straightforward, and not...
After years of showering on a daily basis, you’d think stepping out completely clean is a given. Some body parts, however, are easy to miss, and so are often left unwashed for weeks at a time. Below is a list of every hard-to-reach body part, how to...
There are some pretty compelling reasons to make sure your butt looks nice, and for some guys, that includes keeping the fur in check. But how the heck are you supposed to go about removing hair from an area you can barely even see? Melanie Mari, owner...

I remember my first chip-filled sandwich like it was yesterday. My friend and I — both early adolescents — had just endured a routine, but strenuous water polo practice at our community pool. As we stepped out of the modest aquatic center, our hair still damp and...
Humans have been imagining words and phrases to categorize others by how they look since the advent of language itself. For men — and particularly fathers — two contemporary examples of this are ‘dad bod’ and the more recent interpretation of ‘father figure,’ both of which are...
