For around 3-4 years we’ve heard this term banded around, it’s the word millennial, and wherever you go you seem to hear it; On radio, TV, social media, magazines. But who are the real millennials, and what does the word actually mean.
Bulldog Skincare Shaving Review
Thursday, 16th May, 2019
Hey guys!
As you’ll know from my blog, I am no stranger to Bulldog Skincare products, and have used a couple of them in my grooming regime. I’ve had one of their shaving sets ready for me to use for a while, since Christmas in fact! I’ve been using other products before, but finally, I’ve had a chance to test the Bulldog razor and shaving products, so here’s what I thought.
Men’s Fashion Trends To Avoid In 2021 – You Should NEVER Wear These
Tuesday, 14th May, 2019
We all want to look good when we wear our clothes, right? I mean, that’s kind of why we buy them, and why we buy what we buy. If we just bought clothing for the sake of it, we’d probably all be running around in the same, cheap and boring stuff.
I spend a lot of time writing about good things, classic timeless pieces, staple menswear, must have items and trends as well as what you should wear and when. But what about things you should avoid?
It’s a bit negative to talk about the terrible fashion mistakes and the trends you should avoid, but I think it’s kind of necessary.
When it comes to your own personal style, you can rock what you want, and everyone will be different, which is cool.
But there’s some things which are just universally terrible, and 2020 trends you really should avoid in my opinion.
Here’s what not to wear, and the trends you should avoid.
The Story Of The Summer With Lacoste Cool Play – A Brilliant Men’s Summer Fragrance
Wednesday, 8th May, 2019
I was looking through some of my old fragrances and I came across this, Lacoste Cool Play. This bottle of eau de toilette basically sums up why I like fragrances, what got me into them, and separates us who love scents from those who just wear them. Some are just bottles of nice smelling water, while others have a story. This one comes with a story.
Trying Out Rekorderlig Botanicals Cider Ready For Summer
Saturday, 4th May, 2019
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)
Thursday, 18th April, 2019
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]
Wednesday, 17th April, 2019
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
Tuesday, 16th April, 2019
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.
