Herbalife Skincare Review

If one thing this lockdown has taught me, it is that I need to look after myself a lot more than I normally do. I used to have a great grooming routine but over the last year or so I've been quite busy with work. Meaning any sort of routine went out of the window. So being in lockdown has given me that extra time to bring this routine right back and god I definitely feel the benefits. I look better and also feel loads better in myself. And this is all down to the Herbalife Unisex Skincare Products I have been using. If you have visited my blog before you may have seen that I have worked with Herbalife before, if not then please check out my post here. Also, don't be too quick to judge we have found they have some great products when used correctly. Like I said my skincare routin...

Looking After Yourself During Lockdown With Men-U

The market is absolutely flooded with men’s grooming products, from body wash to beard growth serum there is literally a product for everything. However, this is when the problem starts, the market gets saturated with poor products and it puts men who aren’t used to a skincare routine, off buying another one to try. Fortunately Carl and I have already done a lot of trialling for you, and there is one brand that always comes out on top. That brand is Men-U. For those who are new to Men-U they were founded in the UK in 2001 that hold a vast range of products. Not only do they have a great range of products but they also come in various sizes. Meaning you don’t have to fill up your toiletries bag with huge bottles, their ‘buddy’ tubes are a great example. Compact 15ml tubes that pack ...

We’ve seen innovations that have changed the way we game and revolutionised the industry.

Family Time With giffgaff

Spending time with your loved ones has got to be one of the most precious things to do but it doesn't happen that often for us. There's always something which gets in the way, most of the time its work, but something always seems to creep up and get in the way. When I say loved ones, I don't just mean family, this also includes friends. You see me (Carl) and Dan who both run this blog together are best mates and also out partners get on and with also have little ones similar age. We always talk about arranging a little get together to have a laugh and let our hair down but... I'm the last 3 to 4 years this has never happened, even though we live around 20 minutes away from each other. Me and Dan often do stuff blog or gaming-related but as a whole, we just haven't had a chance. People ...

Men’s Fashion And How It Has Evolved Over Time

As with anything to do with Fashion, men’s Fashion and style have changed dramatically over the decades, there have been many changes in the making of clothing, how clothing is worn, and also how men accessorize their outfits.

Rules Of The Road

So, last month I turned 37 and I realised that I really need to be a little bit calmer when I'm driving.But here I am, a month into this realisation I'm struggling to do anything to calm myself down behind the wheel. I do quite a lot of driving at work and some of the things I see other drivers do just really rubs me up the wrong way, and I know I shouldn't let it get to me but it really does. Last week, for example, I was making my way to a job traveling on the M62 and I noticed a lady deep in a text conversation right as she drove along in the middle lane. And what made it worse was that I then noticed she had two little kids in the back of the car.Beyond disgusting. So, without disrupting my driving, I gave her the dirtiest look I could muster to let her know exactly how I felt a...

What’s The Secret To Being Good-Looking?

It can be easy to tell yourself that you’ll never be as good-looking as some of the alpha males out there in the world. Obviously, genetics are of great importance when it comes to our natural appearance, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing any of us can do to change the way we look. The amount of effort you put into your appearance is about 90% of the bigger picture. Somebody who cares about their presentation is better looking than a “naturally” beautiful person who has stopped caring. Still, what’s the secret to being good-looking? Living healthily. It’s not really much of a secret, of course. Living healthily is the best way to improve your appearance. After all, our outward appearance is a reflection of how well we take care of ourselves. And we’re not just talking about keeping ...

How Far Can Technology Take the Automotive Industry?

If you were to think even just a decade ago what things in the world would be like now, it would have blown your mind. Who would have thought Donald Trump would be president of the United States or that we would have self-driving cars? Even mobile phones have stepped up and can now do so much more than they’ve ever been capable of. In recent years, the automotive industry has been one of the industries that have been working hard with technology companies so that they can really create something advanced for their vehicles, that still offers safety and comfort. Cars are themselves becoming smart devices as they now have things like advanced braking abilities, autonomous driving, mapping technology, improved fuel efficiency, as well as things like one of the new Smart Cars that offer emi...

Imagine No Fibre Broadband for a week

Can you imagine having no internet ever? It's funny saying that, when I am sitting here typing this using my internet so I can log on to my website to write up this post, and then when it's ready, I can publish, and then my readers can use their internet to log on to my site to read a post about why the internet and the right internet is so important in this day and age. What a crazy world we live in, where the Internet is KING! If you're as old as me then you will remember the dial-up internet (and the dreaded tones) and to be honest, if you don't remember this you are pretty lucky, well not just because you are younger than me but because it was shocking! Half of the time it didn't work and when someone wanted to use the phone... Well, that's another story. We are definitely blessed ...
