Clinique For Men Aloe Shave Gel Review

I got a Clinique For Men grooming set quite a while back, and since I was running low on my usual shave gel, it was the perfect time to try out the Aloe Shave Gel from the set.

The full bottle which you can buy comes in a 125ml bottle, and since this was part of a pack, it comes in a nice little sample size of 41ml, so around 1/3 of the size of a full bottle.

How does Clinique For Men Shave Gel stack up?

Film Night: Walk Of Shame

Sunday, 15th September, 2019

I was looking around for some films to watch on Amazon, and I spotted this film, Walk Of Shame. The title of course hooked me in, but other than that, I didn’t really know anything else about the film, so I decided to give it a watch.

It is fair to say, the film is not what I expected to watch. From the title and the character, as well as the way the film starts, I was expecting it to be some kind of stereotypical rom com kind of film, with some laughs, and the overall story being the girl trying to get the guy. But the film is not like that at all.

Who Pays On The First Date? The Man, Woman Or A Split? Here’s How To Know

Monday, 9th September, 2019

Let’s talk about the minefield that is dating. It’s a crazy, scary and big world out there. The first date is the first step.

You eventually find a woman, ask her out, and at the end of the date the cheque comes…There’s the awkward feeling and a small moment…

Who pays on the first date?

There’s of course a ton of advice, some traditional, some more modern. Traditionally It was always expected that men would pay for women for the first date, and in fact for all dates, but we’re in a whole new world now. In fact, we’ve been in the modern times for years now.

Here’s my guide into the first date, and the awkwardness of who’s going to be paying for it.
