Trying Out Rekorderlig Botanicals Cider Ready For Summer

Rekorderlig Botanicals Preview - Michael 84

Happy Saturday, It’s the start of another Bank Holiday weekend!

So a few days ago you may have caught on my Instagram stories that I was trying out some Rekorderlig Botanicals, and got some flavours which I haven’t previously had. If you’re unaware, Rekorderlig is a Swedish cider brand, I’ve featured them a fair bit on the blog over the years, and a while ago they released some new flavours, which they are calling botanicals.

I had a couple last year, but I found that they have some more flavours which I hadn’t tried. I thought I would get some bottles which would last me for a little while, they’ll come in perfect for the Summer, my birthday and of course the Swedish Midsummer (Midsummer’s eve falls on my birthday!).

The blackberry-violet-juniper was a flavour which I hadn’t tried before, so I was looking forward to giving that a go.

What do they taste like?

The Best Of H&M Summer Menswear Collection Drop 1: The Edit (2019)

Tuesday, 30th April, 2019

Who else is getting excited for the Summer? It’s now right around the corner, and a lot of clothing brands and labels already have their Summer collections on their sites and in their stores for you to buy right now.

I’ve been checking out what H&M has to offer so far this year. Since it’s still early in the year, there’s likely to be more pieces which will be available later in the year, so I’ll call this drop 1.

I really like H&M clothing. They offer a lot of different style, from staple clothing to one off trend pieces, the quality and price is very good, in my opinion one of the best of the affordable high street brands.

With that said, here’s 9 of the best items you can buy right now.

Snooker 19 Game Review With Video Gameplay (Xbox One)

Snooker 19 Game Review For Xbox One

It seems like only a few weeks ago I heard about a new snooker game which was coming out, Snooker 19 which is officially licenced and the first “official” World Snooker game for a good while. I was excited about this, and couldn’t wait to get it, since it would be the first snooker game I’ve played since the Playstation/PS2 days, and first on the newer consoles.

It was released yesterday, and I got it! But how does this new game stack up to the games of old? Here’s my review.

Lynx Urban Tobacco And Amber Daily Fragrance – Here’s How It Smells [Review]

Lynx Tobacco And Amber Fragrance Review

I’ve had this bottle of Lynx spray since Christmas, which is no surprise, since it seems like so many people get or receive their annual bottle of Lynx. This is Lynx Urban Tobacco & Amber, but is this a new generation of Lynx?

This is not a deodorant or antiperspirant, or your regular body spray, or at least, it’s not billed as such. This is what Lynx are calling a daily fragrance. So what’s it all about?

Kappa – Bringing Back The Banda From The 90s To 2019

Brand New Kappa Clothing for 2019 - Get The 90's Trend

Kappa is the 90’s brand which just keeps on giving! It made a comeback around 4 years ago, and has been popular in the casual scene and streetwear world ever since.

I am glad I got my tracksuit back in 2014, ahead of the trend by quite a bit, and I always knew that the 90’s trends would make a comeback in a big way.

Why wouldn’t they…They were brilliant the first time round, and are just as good today!

Mango Man: Nautical Time For Spring Summer 2019: Michael 84 Edit

Tuesday, 9th April, 2019

Mango Man is a brand I know and love quite well, as you’ll know from reading the blog. I’ve bought quite a lot of stuff from the Spanish brand, and when I saw they had a brand new mini collection, which they call Nautical Time, I had to see what it had to offer.

They say that the clothing is, “Weekend classics for the adventurous soul”. So I’ve taken a look at what they have to offer, and picked out my own edit, with pieces which I think are key to this collection.

Structure By Joico Hair Styling Products: First Look At These Men’s Hair Products

Wednesday, 3rd April, 2019

Joico Structure Hair Products Review

If there’s one thing which I love, it’s to try out new products and see how they stack up against the products which I currently use, and in some cases, have been using for years. This is especially true when it comes to hair styling products, so when I had the chance to take a look at the Structure by JOICO I had to see what they were all about.

Tie Dye Fashion Trend – The Best Tie Dye T-Shirts And How To Wear Them

Monday, 1st April, 2019

 

When it comes to fashion trends, they come and go. It looks like we’re heading for the return of another trend, with a lot of fashion labels embracing it for women, but does it work for men? I am talking about the tie dye trend, which has made an appearance this Spring, and if it will be adopted, should last all summer long.

When it comes to on-trend styles, tie-dye has not been seen for years as something cool, in fact, I can’t remember the last time I saw it. It has roots from the 60’s where it was hugely popular, especially among the hippy set, heavily influenced with the music and festivals.

But it is now back, so will you be picking up any pieces?

Nudie Jeans Colors Capsule Collection

Tuesday, 26th March, 2019

Last week one of my favourite denim brands, Nudie Jeans, released a new capsule collection they are calling colors (sadly not colours like it should be! 😉 ). It’s a small collection which really caught my eye, so I decided to feature the 8 piece mini collection, which has a couple of great items.

What’s it all about?

Well Nudie Jeans say, “While browsing the archives of early Nudie Jeans gems we simultaneously had an eye on the vivid history of sportswear. The dual vision spawned a perfect sharp image which came to be the Colors collection.

What the collection has, is 8 pieces of menswear, which includes a couple of pairs of jeans, a bucket hat, a couple of tees, a button up shirt, pair of socks and a hoodie. As you can imagine with the name, it’s has some items which are a combination of being infused with a little bit of colour, or just incorporate colour within their entire design.

Here’s what caught my eye.

The Spring Equinox - How I'm Styling It This Spring
So apparently it’s the Spring Equinox today, so it should officially be the first day of Spring! 🙂

I have been noticing the lighter nights, and that’s a good thing, because it’s closer to the Summer which I love.

Soon we’ll be putting out clocks forward, and Summer will be here in no time. It will mean I have to swap my wardrobe around, from the Autumn/Winter to Spring/Summer in a few weeks time when the weather gets better.
