How To Dance
I am the guy that most would consider to be the life of the party. I am not sure why, but I have just always been the type of person to laugh and have a good time and socialize with pretty much anyone. And no matter my surroundings I usually feel really comfortable and fit right in. This is even true about the dance floor. Even though I am not really a great dancer, I have never felt out of place on the dance floor. I mean I feel like I can really hold my own out there.
Facial Hair For All
We are men. Men are hairy and proud of it. Well, for the most part. I do think it’s nice to be well-groomed, and I don’t think that I’m the only guy out there who feels that way. But back to hair. We can grow hair on our faces for good reason. Beards are not only masculine but quite useful in cold climates.
Haircut Hints
A few years ago my girlfriend noticed something that I had never considered. Each time I would have my hair cut, I would not like it until it grew out after a couple of weeks. It was also too short and too choppy looking, but I just thought that was how it had to be. Finally thanks to my girlfriend’s brilliance she asked why I didn’t make it clear want I wanted? I was confused. I could tell my guy at the barber shop how to cut my hair? She laughed and said that paying $12 for a haircut at a barber shop probably wouldn’t yield the same results as going to a salon. An appointment was made at her salon with a woman who specialized in men’s cuts, I had a picture in my hand of what I wanted, and for the first time in my life I left with a haircut that I instantly loved. I did not have to grow it out for a week or so, I did not have to find a new way to style it, nothing. It was so worth the $27 I paid, and I am convinced that I will never again go to what my girl calls the “chop shop” to get a haircut ever again.
Pack It Up: Business Trip
You all asked for it, so here is another “Pack It Up” article. This time it is all about packing effectively for a business trip. Now, I am the type of guy who really does not like to have to go away on business for a couple of different reasons. One of the main reasons is that I tend to be pretty careless in packing and I end up forgetting some necessary things. Sure I can go out and buy a new toothbrush or a dress shirt, but that’s not the point. I just get frustrated. The last couple of trips I have been on were much easier though because I took the time to make sure that I had everything I needed. So, if you are getting ready for a business trip, be sure that you follow these guidelines to keep your cool.
Women’s Products We Don’t Have to Fear
Walking into a woman’s bathroom is often a very terrifying experience. There’s hair in the sink, a thousand different fragrances that all seem to smell the same and products in the cabinet that you can’t even pronounce. It seems bizarre that women have the time and capability to incorporate so many products into their beauty routine, but somehow it works. We tend to avoid learning what any of it does or where it goes, but, believe it or not, some of that stuff can actually come in handy for us gentlemen without threatening our manhood.
Shaving History
Like everything else men do to keep themselves looking groomed and office ready, shaving has a history that goes back thousands of years and the aim is still the same: men want that so-called “perfect shave.” Why, then, do so many men find this so hard to achieve? The answer may be that proper shaving has become something of a lost art. Shaving is a time honored tradition that was once passed down from father to son, but in the age of modern and disposable razors, and electric razors, and hurry-scurry mornings that leave people with less time than ever to spend getting ready, people have just let that tradition fall by the wayside.
Shave Right
Unfortunately, most of us guys have to shave on a daily basis. It sucks, but every morning I stand in front of my mirror dreading the fact that it is indeed time to shave. I have tried every razor out there and all types of creams, lotions, and such too, but I would still leave behind stubble, feel a burning sensation or worse afterward. I know a lot of my friends share the same sentiment and though we do not talk about it as a big group, my friends do approach me individually about properly shaving. I have some tips and tricks, but I know some can get pretty uncomfortable talking about it with me. So, I found a video on Youtube that is sure to be a big help.
Male Grooming Isn’t For Boys
I think most men would agree that it isn’t really socially acceptable to discuss the latest grooming trends with other guys, partly because of the more feminine stigma of such discussions and partly because there are some guys I know that don’t do much in the grooming department. I’m not really that self-conscious about it myself, since I know I look pretty damn good. After all, I probably wouldn’t be posting this if I didn’t want anyone to know that I’m willing to take a 15 minute shower every once in a while and I use shampoo that doesn’t double as body wash. If I wanted my head to smell the same as my feet I would run out of cologne very quickly.
Pack It Up: Golf Weekend
This is the first of our “Pack It Up” feature where I will help you to pack your bags for all sorts of getaways and destinations. For the first one, I thought I would help you guys out with pointers on what to pack along with you for my favorite type of weekend getaway, the golf outing. There is nothing better than having the chance to play golf all weekend, but you definitely have to make sure you have all of the essentials to tee it up the whole trip.
Men and Women and the Bathroom
Okay typically I am not a picky guy. I do not have a ton of pet peeves, and I am generally pretty easy to get along with on most things. I guess you can say I just like to go with the flow when it comes to most things. I thought my girlfriend was the same way too, but since she has recently moved in, I noticed that on somethings there is just no wiggle room with her. Primarily these problems and issues have to do with our now shared bathroom. I love her, but some mornings I miss when all she had was a toiletry bag and toothbrush in my bathroom. Now, she has taken over and is enforcing all sorts of bathroom rules.
