Tech up your ride
As someone who spends a fair amount of time on the road in Los Angeles, I've always appreciated the convenience of modern in-car technology.
A churning yearning
A few years ago, after countless disappointing attempts with makeshift methods and a growing craving for gourmet gelato, I decided it was time to invest in a dedicated ice cream maker. After much research and reading countless reviews, I settled on a popular and highly rated model: the Cuisinart ICE-21 Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker.
Do 'smart glasses' make you look stupid?
As someone who’s always been fascinated by the intersection of fashion and technology, the idea of smart glasses has captivated me for years. (Mostly I wondered if they're necessary or just something to entertain the nerd world.)
High fryin'
For years, I’d heard the buzz about air fryers, but I was skeptical. Could a countertop appliance really deliver that satisfying crunch without all the oil and fuss of deep-frying? I envisioned yet another gadget gathering dust on the counter.
I loved being groomed... (not in the creepy way)
Let's just get it out of the way: Buff Boys are known for being superficial and shallow when it comes to our looks. There. I said it. Let's move on.
Staying cool and comfy... while looking a little dorky
With the SoCal heat beating down on us as we enter July, we're looking for anything to cool down. (Even though there's a pool in the backyard here, sometimes you need to stay cool on the go.)
This does your body good...night sleep!
As someone who is perpetually hot (you've seen me -- you know!), especially at night, finding a body pillow that doesn't turn into a personal furnace has been a lifelong quest -- especially here in West Hollywood. Enter the Plufl Hugl Cooling Body Pillow, promising comfort and temperature regulation in one big, cuddly package.
Tapping into the Tab
I'll admit I'm not the biggest techie. In fact, if I could just keep all of the current technology I have now and never upgrade, I'd be just fine with that. Alas, that's not the world we live in.
Zippin' and doin'
As a Los Angeles-area resident, I've grown to dread driving in the city. The congested roads, endless traffic jams and parking nightmares have made me a reluctant driver. And, public transit: not a chance.
The toast with the most
When I was younger, cereal was my go-to breakfast. It was easy to prepare: grab the box, grab a bowl, pour, add milk, get a spoon, eat.
There's a hot party in my mouth! (but not too hot)
Yeah, yeah, I should probably leave the food commentary to our resident chef, Ben. But I'm taking a break from reviewing the usual fitness, tech and lifestyle products for something that made my mouth really happy. Like, really happy!
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.
Rollin' with it and lovin' it
OK, this one came out of a desperate situation.
They can host any time
Yeah, yeah, we're coffee guys, but we drink other stuff, too.
A whiff for a woof
It's widely known that there are two dogs at Buff Loft. While the golden retriever and husky live mostly with their parents across the building and far away from us, they spend a lot of time with our group throughout the day -- especially when the dog parents are out of town. (And they travel a lot!)
Get weighed down... and feel good about it
A new fitness product gets Team Buff excited because, well, we're a little obsessed. If it's not something for our hair or skin, it's for our muscles. (Nothing wrong with remaining pretty!)
Functionality meets style -- it's about damn time... literally!
Garmin has long been a dominant force in the world of fitness trackers and smartwatches, consistently delivering devices packed with features for athletes and health enthusiasts alike. As a maraton runner I'm always looking for the next powerhouse device that can keep up with me and lend new insight into my training.
Fuel your face with a smear of this!
The demands to remain amazingly pretty as a Buff Boy are just... ugh... sometimes it's too much pressure.
Put a ring on it... but it'll collect dust sooner or later
Have you seen as many commercials and ads for this thing as I have?? For months, they've had me wondering what all the fuss was about. So, I checked out Oura Ring 4.
OUI needed this body lotion
You already know the joke: Buff Boys all about our hair, bodies and having perfect skin. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Because of that terribly accurate reputation, we're always on the hunt for the holy grail of lotions.
High-tech oral care will make you smile (the cost won't)
As someone who’s been a stickler for oral hygiene since I had braces in my 20s -- which was also the first time I experienced an electric toothbrush -- I’m constantly on the lookout for ways to elevate my brushing game.
Oh, the places this brings relief
It's the little gun that could. Again. And again. And again.
It's HOW MUCH for the perfect coffee temperature??
You think coffee is getting expensive? Look up the Ember Mug 2 online. That's not a tariff price!
It's time to get chic-y clean
Ditch the sticky and embrace the chic-y
