Man's Best Friend

Here is a little story. My husband likes to open the packages that come in the mail. We had been talking about picking up Beef Jerky so when he opened up the box he saw BEEF JERKY, opened the package and began chowing down. 

He yells to me from the other room thank you for the beef jerky. Me going through my head doesn't remember ordering any Beef Jerky, then it hits me but before I can respond he is saying that they taste really good but they are a bit gritty. I bust out laughing trying to tell him it was for our Saint Bernard Princess Goliath. 

He told me I had to tell the story because he said they were really that good. *These Beef Jerky treats are not made for human consumption, but goes to show you a dog really is mans best friend so much in so that they like the same diet in food. 

Finally Princess was able to try them out after I confiscated the bag away from my hungry and very disappointed husband. She won't eat them when I give them to her, I think she waits till we are away to eat them because when we come home they are gone.

Every man needs a black tie

My husband has several job where he had to wear a tie, but he would rather be in shorts and a t-shirt everyday because that is what makes him feel comfortable. Now that he is out of jobs where he has to wear a tie, for the now being anyways he takes full advantage of shorts and t-shirts.

Sadly deaths happen as well as Happy Weddings. Places ties are expected and sometimes needed depending on the part you play in each one.

Lately we have had a few scares with death and this week alone we had two deaths, one a family member on my side and another one is a dear friends husband who passed too soon.

My husband hasn't gotten in a tie or for that matter even dress pants in years so he is not even sure he will fit his pants or shirts but is going to try. If not he wears shorts and a t-shirt and then once we can a visit to the store for a new suit  just in case another wedding or funeral comes along.


My husband really likes the quality of this tie and we were both surprised to see that it also comes with a tie clip which is also very nice. Gives your tie that extra little zing when you need it.

You can purchase the black silk tie on Amazon.

The Gentlemen's Beard - Premium Beard Oil

Easy to use and no scent which my husband loves best. My husband uses a beard brush to distribute this through his beard. 

You can buy the Gentlemen's Beard oil on Amazon.

What The Gentlemen's Beard has to say about their product.

Is it really unscented, as in there is no smell whatsoever? Yep! In addition to being 100% natural and organic, you'll enjoy a better beard without any unwanted scents!

The Gentlemen's Beard Oil with Vitamin E and Evening Primrose oil reduces beard itch that can come with a brand new beard. Plus it helps with "bearddruff". No more irritation or flakes!

It also treats split ends as well - whether they start to come in naturally or occur after a shave just reach for your Gentlemen's beard oil!

Super easy to use - either dampen your beard or apply dry. Just a few drops a day (dropper included!) is all it takes. Drop onto your hand then rub into your beard. Simple as that!

Do this - as soon as you get your Gentlemen's Beard Oil... put it to the test! You can either dampen your beard or go in dry. Unscrew the dropper top and place a few drops on your hand.

Then rub it in!

Let it set for a few minutes. Enjoy the fact that you don't smell like a perfume sample, either. In addition to being 100% natural and organic, this beard oil is also 100% fragrance free. For real!

Now you'll probably notice that even after a few minutes of letting it soak in... your beard just feels better. After just a few days of usage, have your spouse, friend and random stranger run their fingers through your beard.

The texture of your now enhanced beard is incredible. Plus it conditions, tames and diminishes that "itchiness" that some of us get when a fresh beard grows in.

Have "bearddruff"? How about after using the Gentlemen's beard oil? Say peace to that!

One bottle lasts a few months unless you're sporting a grizzly adams beard.

See for yourself. Order now. Consider getting two bottles to give one to your best bearded friend.

Trading in the canned shaving cream for Shave Soap

Recently I was able to get my husband a shaving cream brush, and other products for his shaving needs as well as the upkeep up his beard when he has it. So far he has loved everything but wanted to try out a shaving soap so he could really use his shaving cream brush the way it was intended.

When the Moose Bay Rum & Spice Shave Soap came I had to give it the OK it smells good you can use it test. Oh my it smells wonderful. Much better then the shaving creams in a can that have no smell. Love the scent.

Once he uses it he says he doesn't want to go back to canned shaving cream once what we have in the house is gone. Guess Moose Shave Supply really opened his eyes to a whole other world of shaving fun.

You can purchase Moose Bay Rum & Spice Shave Soap on Amazon.

Gift for Dad, Grads, or Groomsmen

Tie Clips have a big place in my heart. I remember my father getting ready for important events by getting all dressed up, putting on his cuff links and then finishing with his Tie Clip. In the 80's it was fashionable for girls to wear ties so my dad gave me one of his tie clips which I believe it still up in my jewelry box to this day along with the set I was given when he died which was a set with his initials that have a matching set of cuff links. The Initial set will go to my daughter who bares his name as her middle name in honor of him.

For the Grads this will certainly bring their outfits together for interviews giving them a little bling that says they took the extra time to look nice for their interview. For your dad, husband, or son this makes the perfect gift anytime of the year. Also a great gift to give to each of your groomsmen.

I know that if my dad were here he would really appreciate a set like this. 

You can purchase the 8 piece tie bar on Amazon.

What Mensbodega has to say about their product.

Smooth Viking Beard Oil and Beard Balm

My husband has been very lucky with all of the reviews I have been getting lately. He has had lots of new stuff to try out. This time we were able to try out Smooth Viking Beard Oil and Beard Balm. I think they have a lightly scented soap smell which is quite pleasant, but not girly.

My husband loves that the balm comes with a twist on cap so that if he hands are wet or greasy he won't have a problem opening the container. The Beard oil comes in a glass bottle with a dropper included. Again very easy to distribute the amount of oil you would like to use.

My husband loves that they both leave his face and beard much more soft then using nothing at all. I have no complaints because I love his beard too.

You can purchase the Smooth Viking Beard Oil and Beard Balm on Amazon.

CanYouHandlebar Beard Oil Brush Review

I have done a few reviews for Can You Handlebar before, one of which you can read here, and I am glad I have received a few more items to tell my readers about. My husband loved the dry beard oil as well as the regular beard oil, but said it would work better with a brush. 

Luckily that is one of the items they sent. The brush comes in a nice tin that you can either keep it in or use for other items around the house. The bristles are made from horse hair, as a women I am used to brushes made with boars hair, so this was new to me. With using the Can you handle bar line my husband beard is a lot healthier and he doesn't have dry flaky skin anymore. 

 You can purchase the CanYouHandlebar Beard Oil Brush here or on Amazon.


What Can you handlebar has to say about their product.

This beard oil brush was specifically selected to work with Beard Dry Oil cans as well as traditional beard oils. Each brush is hand branded with the CanYouHandlebar Question Mark. The base of the brush is wood and the bristles are horse hair. The bristles penetrate through most beards to provide a gentle massage, while ensuring that the oils cover the hairs completely and make it all the way to the hair underneath, so that your chiseled jawline receives the nourishment it needs.
