Holy [beeeeep]! I just saw a large hunk of balled-up shag carpet saunter across my living room! Oh phew, that was just my dog, Tucker, who, like me, has gone without professional grooming since the start of quarantine and now looks like a stray tumbleweed. Clearly, I...
The people working on the front lines of this pandemic face a wide and horrifying array of frustrations and struggles on a daily basis. And while we’re not going to suggest that breakouts or other skin issues are anywhere near the top of that list, they can...
First things first, while it might be tempting to just start cutting your own hair in quarantine — you’ve watched your barber do it for years, after all — that’s generally a terrible, awful, ill-advised idea (case in point). In fact, when I asked barber Asia J...
Sixty years ago, if you weren’t going to work in a suit, tie and perfectly clean shaven, then clearly, you were a hippie. In many offices these days, however, especially ones in creative fields, showing up in anything other than jeans, a T-shirt and a five o’clock...
The shortest answer to this question is: Nothing good, unless you wish to be featured in the Guinness World Records and/or the nightmares of small children. Just ask Lee Redmond, who grew her fingernails out to a record-shattering combined length of 28 feet, four inches. Admirable though...
I got a haircut in early March, and on my way out, I went ahead and booked another one. That appointment was originally scheduled for Friday — yeah, this Friday — and as you might imagine, it was cancelled due to the unforeseen appearance of a global...

Most of us spend a decent amount of time looking in the mirror, inspecting our faces and doing away with any stray, unsightly hairs. We shear our beards, snip our nose hairs and clip our ear hairs. But despite being smack-dab in the middle of our faces,...
When I was in middle school, I carpooled with a friend whose dad would vigorously mow his stubble with electric clippers while driving us through the busy, chaotic streets of Los Angeles. I understood back then — and I understand even more so now, as a highly...
Few things are more frustrating than looking forward to a warm, relaxing shower after a long day, and instead having to endure an oscillating stream of scalding and glacial water because something to do with the temperature is all messed up. But before you go tearing your...
Put a beanie on and snap into your skis, because climate change is shortening our snow seasons, and therefore, you might only have a few more weeks to shred the gnar and get freaking glacial, dude. But while you’re out there, you need to take care of...
Crafting the perfect beard style is not as simple as keeping a clean-shaven face, which really only requires you to purchase the best razors money can buy, and then drag one across your mug once a day (with the grain, naturally). Perhaps surprisingly, keeping a beard is...
