Colorize, Accessorize, & Swaggerize.

                 
I can’t tell you how many guys I see at events, weddings, or even the club that   look ridiculous simply because they did not colorize and accessorize properly.  Colors are very important. So many guys make a fashion faux pas  by wearing intensely bright colored shirts and pants thinking they’re trend setting. Don’t get me wrong a pretty blue dress shirt can be nice, but it’s overdone. Simple dark colors with a touch of pattern or light colors like powder blue work much more in your favor. Wearing these types of   colors not only make you look more fit but also more mature and put together, like you’re not trying, which TRUST ME is very attractive.



Add colors to your accessories instead.

 

Belts, watches, and ties are the three main accessories for men when getting dressed for a special occasion. Wearing these specific items of the same color family will bring a whole different level of style to your image. Try wearing belts, watches, or ties in colors such as white, black with a touch of silver, burgundies, plums, or even cream colored tones which are not only simple but fashionable, sexy, and best of all MANLY!

Hope this helps!

Healthy Fruits

Apples

With only 80 calories and 0 grams of fat, it's tough to beat the all-around health boost an apple provides. The primary health benefit of apples is the 3 grams of fiber you get from each one, which carries you a long way toward the 20 grams you are supposed to get each day. High fiber diets have also been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, as well as clearer skin, so if you're looking for a fruit to start loading up on, look no further!

Bananas

The banana offers two primary health benefits: fiber (2 grams per banana) and the all-important nutrient of potassium. If you are at all interested in the healthy, proper functioning of your heart and muscles, potassium is something you do not want to skimp on. The easiest way to get it is to work bananas into your diet; say, one at breakfast, and one after supper. You'll be amazed at how much more energetic and healthy you feel after just a few days or weeks!

Blueberries

Besides tasting great as a topping or by themselves, blueberries offer the inestimable benefit of discouraging bladder infections by making it hard for bacteria to stick to the walls of your urinary tract. As if that weren't enough, blueberries offer another huge benefit to all you men out there. 

Pomegranates

Pomegranates are somewhat less common than the fruits mentioned above, but the health benefits to be gained from them are extraordinary. In addition to helping stop harmful blood clots, Men's Health notes that pomegranates can increase blood flow from the heart by up to 30 percent. A National Academy of Sciences study also found that pomegranates slowed the growth of tumors and improved survival rates of mice. Other studies link pomegranate consumption to a reduced risk of breast cancer.

Oranges

Oranges pack a dual punch of citrus and anti-oxidants that every healthy person needs for optimal functioning. With 70 milligrams of Vitamin C and 40 milligrams of folic acid, oranges are one of nature's best immune system enhancers, which is why so many doctors advise drinking orange juice when you’re trying to beat a cold. The antioxidants come to the rescue of your beleaguered immune system, helping it to fight the illness or bug you are experiencing.

Bow ties are back and people are wearing them with casual clothes and incorporating them i as a new stylish look. You can rock a bow tie now with just a nice dress shirt or even a stylish t shirt to  enhance a retro but sophisticated look.

So to all my guys out there go pick up a bow tie and wear it next time you got out with the ladies and don't forget dress to impress.

WTF Dandruff!

Ok guys, stop being like your dads and buying cases of head n shoulders. If you want to limit the amount of dandruff you have you’re going to have to use some natural, do it yourself methods. Here are some of the best homemade versions of dandruff control:

      1.       Yogurt! Mix a non-fat yogurt with some olive oil and lemon juice and you have yourself one of the most effective hair conditioners. Apply this after you shampoo, leave it on for 10 min and then rinse it out. A lot of men think the more I wash my hair the better, WRONG! The more frequently you use shampoo & conditioner the more your hair gets damaged & dry. Try using this as a replacement once in a while.   

    2. Coconut oil: You can get this ANYWHERE, local drug stores or grocery stores and it’s much cheaper than shampoo. Use this has a replacement to shampoo & conditioner maybe twice a week. Just apply it to the scalp when the hair is dry, rinse it out and you’ll see a softer texture to your hair.

            3.Mouthwash: Sounds pretty damn weird, but mixing a little bit of mouthwash in your conditioner helps moisturize the scalp.

       Dont be so flakey!

Moisturizer for Men: How to pick the right one for YOU

When winter hits, the most vulnerable part of your body is probably going to be your face. Sub-zero temperature, low humidity, and strong wind are just some of the elements that can leave your face flaky and dry.Here are some tips to help you find the right one for you

Things to look for:

1. First of all don't be so obsessed with ingredients, most moisturizers have the same ingredients of vitamin E, vitamin C, aloe vera or green tea, don't be fooled by marketing packaging. You want to pick the moisturizer that best suits your SKIN TYPE. Look for ones that say for dry skin, for oily skin, or for combo skin.
2.   Rich vs Light formulas. Rich ones can be feel greasy, and light ones may not seem effective. You can tell what type of moisturizer it will be by the dispenser and brand. Pumps are usually lighter and the bottles you have to squeeze are usually heavier. Neutregena and King of Shaves are great brands for being just right. 

Things to avoid:

1.      Avoid moisturizer with alcohol content. It may leave your face feeling cool and fresh, but in reality that’s just alcohol draining moisture from your skin.

2.      Mineral oil, these are difficult to absorb for your skin and can clog your pores.

Happy shopping!
