Cuban Vintage Beauties

In the first week of March 2018, we were lucky enough to do a family trip down to Cuba.  We went to Cayo Coco to be exact.  This is a near-island extension that spring out of Cuba in the middle north side.  It is an absolutely beautiful place and the Cubans that make it allRead more

Upcoming product reviews in early 2018

2017 has ended, but not all of the products have been tested and reviews written.  In fact, there is a bit of a backlog compounded by a fruitful Christmas.  In other words, there are a good number of products to try out.  In the coming weeks we hope to cover the following products: Hairgum –Read more

Rebel Refinery – A lip balm to write about and more

Lip balm?!  Yeah, whatever!  That has pretty much been my attitude toward these products.  As Canadians, every year we end up having to buy 1 or 2 sticks of that stuff to get us through winter and its nasty impact on our lips.  But honestly, when was the last time you were impressed with suchRead more

The Rocky Mountain Barber company is back with a new “face wash”.  Late last week, I got an email notification of the launch of this products.

BEDHEAD Flexi Head Hairspray – Cool but expensive

I was in the market for a hairspray and came across what looked like an interesting product from BED HEAD, Flexi Head Hairspray.  BED HEAD use to be my ‘Go-To” brand before I fully jumped into the pomade jar.  They make good products and my experience has generally been positive.  The pitch for this productRead more
