Stacked travel pack on your back
Road trips are a time many of us grab a bag, load it up and go wherever the breeze takes us. But, do you use a gym bag, a school backpack, a small suitcase or even a laundry bag?
A touch of magic on display
If there's one thing required for being a Buff Boy, it's versatility. Why? Because Buff Loft is not only where we live, it's also an office space. So, our work can be done in the kitchen, on the deck in the backyard or even -- dare I say it -- in bed. Plus, our parent company is in the broadcasting biz so when they come to town from Canada to cover Hollywood events, we get kicked out of the loft and shuttled off to a hotel to give them the workspace. Meaning: we have to be very mobile all the time.
Can rubbing this really stop a headache?
Ugh, headaches. I used to get them a lot when I was in school. They went away for years but now, for some reason, by the end of the day, sometimes, I get them again.
(Not) large and in charge
As someone who's often double-fisting phones (my own, and on the days I'm tasked with monitoring the Buff phone), it's a constant pain to keep monitoring battery levels so I'm not running low without a charger when I'm out and about.
Make cleanse friends with this
I've got something to smear all over your face... again. Ready for it?
Curl, lift, pump, grunt, repeat
You'd think as Buff Boys we'd focus a lot of time on hair and fitness products. Well, actually, I guess we kinda do. Never mind. I thought it was going to be a more creative introduction. Fail. (Cut me some slack, I'm new at this writing thing!)
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.
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.
When you need some good, reliable suction
Let me be completely honest upfront: I don't clean. We're kind of spoiled living in Buff Loft because there is a cleaning person. Having said that, there are times when spills happen and, of course, we often have the boss's two dogs here so there is minor clean-up now and then.
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.
Brewing up flavors... that aren't coffee
Anyone who has their own kitchen has picked up some gadget they thought would be a game changer. They religiously use it for a week or two and then it’s forgotten because the novelty wears off. That's exactly what happened with our SodaStream Terra.
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.
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.
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.)
They can host any time
Yeah, yeah, we're coffee guys, but we drink other stuff, too.
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.
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!
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.
Rollin' with it and lovin' it
OK, this one came out of a desperate situation.
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.
