Am I really becoming "that" person?
I hate shopping. I can't stand malls. I'm that guy who gets Christmas shopping done online or in the mall for as short a time as possible. But, there's a but. But I love grocery shopping.
Weighing in on this fitness tool
If it's not hair or dimples, Buff Boys are obsessed with fitness. (Go figure, right?) When we were offered a Etekcity HR Smart Fitness Scale it was a no brainer.
I can't stand kids but my partner keeps having us babysit
My partner and I agreed we don't want to have kids. I can't stand kids but he offers to babysit for his friends and family. Is it wrong to tell him I don't want him babysitting at our house anymore?
Dog walking made him barking mad -- it was ruff!
Ah, Gabe. A man of formidable physical prowess, a true titan of the tarmac, a marathon runner whose strides could put gazelles to shame. In the hallowed halls of Buff Loft, he’s known for his steely determination, his calm demeanor and his uncanny ability to make a 10K look like a leisurely stroll to the fridge.
We donate money just so you can send us gifts?
Every now and then, a package arrives in the mail from a charity I’ve supported. It might be a calendar, a set of greeting cards, or even a small, decorative trinket, all emblazoned with the charity’s logo and a heartfelt message of thanks. My first reaction is often a fleeting sense of warmth – "How thoughtful!" – quickly followed by a prickle of unease. My mind immediately jumps to a question that I can’t seem to shake: Who paid for this?
Coffee-infused glazed ham
Can ham get any better? Yup... especially when you add coffee!
This is why I burn bridges
We're constantly bombarded with advice advocating for building bridges, fostering connections and maintaining relationships, no matter how strained. The prevailing wisdom dictates that you should never burn bridges because you never know when you might need them.
Biggest Barbie collection ever!
During a recent trip to Montreal, amidst the charming cobblestone streets and vibrant arts scene, I stumbled upon a truly unique and utterly fascinating attraction: the Barbie Expo.
I got fired and I'm afraid to tell my family
I got fired and am afraid to tell my family. I still leave the house every morning but I go to the mall or coffee shops all day and go back home when my shift would be over. How do I tell them?
Definitely smear this on your face
OK, let's talk retinol. You've probably heard the word but have no idea what it is. For a Buff Boy, it's a necessary work tool! Think smoother skin, fewer wrinkles, and a brighter complexion.
It's refreshing to tune out the news
For a long time, I felt like I was failing at… well, everything, if I wasn't constantly plugged into the 24-7 news cycle.
Holy, Buff cannoli!
Cannoli, the iconic Sicilian pastry, boasts a rich history and an even richer flavor profile. Its crispy shell, creamy ricotta filling and hints of citrus and chocolate make it a universally beloved treat.
My partner can't sing but thinks he's going to be a star
My partner is determined to have a singing career but he can't sing. Should I tell him or let him keep thinking he can make it in the business?
You really think that makes you dateable? Really?
I haven’t spent much time in the online dating scene. Why? Because it would probably lead to conflict in my house and many nights sleeping alone.
Bota Bota = boat-ahh boat-ahh
If there's one thing a Buff Boy needs to do when he travels, it's check out a spa in the destination city. So, here we are in Montreal!
He's the reason our Buff phone needs a lifeguard
Last week, we celebrated our fourth BuffDay -- it was July 2, 2021, that Buff Boy Brewing Co. launched.
The 1 life rule you should have
Spring is a great time to reconnect with people and catch up. In recent weeks, I’ve been in touch with people from my past. It was similar to the start of the pandemic when many of us scrolled through our phone and/or social media and randomly reached out to people we hadn’t had contact with in a while.
Slow-cooked Buff'ed BBQ baked beans
Baked beans are a barbecue staple!
My partner doesn't put stuff in its proper spot in the fridge
I don't have OCD but it drives me insane that my partner doesn't put stuff in the fridge or cupboards the way I like things organized. I've mentioned it and he's laughed it off. How do I get him to take it seriously?
Don't force me to constantly upgrade my tech
I love technology. Let me get that out of the way right upfront.
Fairways, flamingos and a fruity feast
Until I started researching different Puerto Vallarta vacation experiences, I never would have thought it a destination for world-class golf. But, sure enough, it's got an amazing course right on the ocean.
I thought I'd seen it all with ridiculous phone use
As smartphone technology began to evolve and seemingly make every daily task possible to manage and/or complete from the palm of your hand, I was hooked. Now, as it continues to invade our lives I'm gradually -- maybe not gradually, so much as abruptly -- stepping back.
Face the sun all summer
It's true that I'm more than just another pretty face. And I intend to keep it that way!
Tasted like chicken... or did it?
Most kids had some kind of food that they didn’t like. My little brother wouldn’t eat stuff because “it’s ugly.” It was often met with, “Just try it, you’ll like it.” That had varying degrees of success.
