I’ve owned the Blenheim Bouquet Eau de Toilette for several years now (even though I’m just getting around to reviewing it), but I wanted to try the full Blenheim experience, so I picked up a few more flanker products in the line.

Summer Linen 2016
I struggle with the heat during summer. I always have. It’s really the only gripe I have about the season. In the winter, when I get colder, I put more clothes on. It’s a pretty simple solution. Unfortunately, in the summer, there is only so much clothing to take off when I get hot. After that, I just sit…sweltering. I’ve always seemed to run hot. Maybe it’s a result of growing up in northern Ohio. Maybe it’s genetics. Whatever the reason, summer can drain me.

Truefitt and Hill West Indian Limes Review
Few scents capture the breezy easiness of summer like lime. Gin and tonics, limeade (yes, it’s better than lemonade), and lime slices rubbed on grilled corn. These are all some of my favorite things during summer. If you haven’t tried the last one, make it a requirement at your next cookout. Grill up some ears of corn, rub a lime wedge over your ear (of corn), and sprinkle a little salt on it. You’ll never use butter again. Truefitt & Hill’s “West Indian Limes” line continues that tradition of warm weather and citrus scents. In fact, Truefitt & Hill has been providing its lime-scented fragrances for almost one hundred fifty years, since the reign of Queen Victoria.

Tiki Bar Soap “Land Locked” Shaving Soap Review
I need to catalogue my shaving supplies. Every time I dive into my cabinet, I come out with something I almost forgot was in there. It’s probably a sign that I have too many wet shaving products, but that’s not possible, right? Seriously, I have so many tubs, bottles, and tubes in that cabinet, that I”ve had to put myself on a spending freeze.

Three Ways to Wear Pink This Summer
I used to go to grad school with a guy who wore this pink polo shirt quite frequently. He stood around 6’7” with an extremely fair, Irish-American complexion. The shirt was bright, neon, and electric. I mean, it was a bit much. Knowing what colors work with your skin tone is a huge asset in building your personal style. I also think with colors like pink, balance and contrast are crucial. Pink works extremely well with blues and greens. Those were the three colors my wife and I used at our wedding, and there’s no way I’m going to tell her she’s wrong.
