Staying cool and comfy... while looking a little dorky
This does your body good...night sleep!

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

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

High-tech (and high-priced) skincare

High-tech (and high-priced) skincare

If there's one thing we're known for around these parts it's our hair and skin. And that skin has seen its share of needles to maintain our famous plastic Hollywood faces!

Tiny speaker, mighty sound

Tiny speaker, mighty sound

As a music lover, I'm always on the lookout for the next great sound experience. I recently got my hands on the JBL Go 4. This little guy promises big sound in a ridiculously portable package so I was eager to put it to the test. After a week of using it everywhere from the kitchen counter to the backyard pool, I'm ready to share my verdict.

Can rubbing this really stop a headache?

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.

Say Goodbye to Fur-ever

Say Goodbye to Fur-ever

I'm not a pet owner but I'm a pet sitter here at Buff Loft. Of course, I'm referring to the company dogs, Bruno, the golden retriever and Charlie, the husky. They visit us in the office on a regular basis and when it's a day of wearing shorts or underwear, we do OK. When it's a pants day (thankfully we don't have many of those), it can be a problem.

Let's be real: gloomy, rainy days in spring can be depressing. If you're not fortunate to live in sunny California, you might not experience the rays like we do in West Hollywood.
