If there’s one style of trainers which every guy needs to have, I think it’s got to be the triple black.
I myself have a few pairs, and of course one of the pioneers of the term triple black has been Nike. I love my Air Max, but they’re seen as a sports shoe, a casual trainer, and something you should wear only on really casual occasions. But what if you can’t actually tell it’s a sports trainer? That’s where the triple black comes in.
Have you ever bought a film not because of the plot or name, but because of the T-shirt that the people wear on the cover?
That’s why I bought Adventureland on blu ray! 😀
Years ago I saw this T-shirt which had the word games repeated on the front of it, but I never knew what it meant, where it was from, or anything about it. I saw that design a few times, and then I discovered it was from a film called Adventureland.
So I looked into the film, and found that it was a coming of age film, my favourite genre, so had to get it to see what it was all about.
Twitter, It’s not you, It’s me….OK That’s a lie, it is you. It’s just not working out any more. It’s over…
It’s 2019, and it is my 10th year of using Twitter for the blog, and probably 11th overall. I posted on the blog a few years ago that I thought Twitter just wasn’t the same, and in the past 3 or 4 years, I’ve used it less and less.
From the heights of posting 400 times a month in 2011 and 2012, to the lows of the past couple of years, sometimes barely making it to 50 tweets a month.
What has changed? Mainly two things. Myself, and the world.
A fragrance which costs £3.50…Surely this is going to be terrible, right? Primark have released a few men’s fragrances, and I’ve just got one of their men’s aftershaves, Black Opulence. But what does a £3.50 aftershave actually smell like?
Hey guys!
So it was time for another film night, and I saw that Loving Pablo had been added to Amazon Video, so I decided to give it a watch.
It’s a film about the story of Pablo Escobar, told mostly in the point of view from Virginia Vallejo, a girlfriend of Pablo and famous journalist in Colombia. I have seen Narcos, the Netflix documentary series about the same story, which obviously had more detail since it’s spread over seasons and many shows, rather than this which is a 2 hour film.
I love to run, but in the Winter, it’s really cold!
It can be a reason not to bother, but if you like to keep fit, or it’s something you enjoy, the cold weather doesn’t need to stop you.
Something you need to think about is what to wear running in the cold. Getting your gear right is key, and will ensure that the weather is the last thing you’re thinking about.
Picking out the right clothing can be a task. You need to stay warm, but also you’ll be running, so you’ll heat up in no time.
Here’s what I usually wear for when I go on a run in the Winter.
Happy Friday and start of a new month guys!
Can you believe it’s February already? I certainly can’t. It seemed like only the other day we were celebrating Christmas, then New Year, and the start of 2019, and now we’re already one month down. Pretty crazy stuff.
If you’ve put the weather on TV you’ll know we’re definitely in the Winter right now, with record lows in the USA, and the cold and snowy weather has been making it’s presence felt here in Newcastle and the rest of the UK too.
It’s time for another good old scent review! This week I am looking back at 212 VIP Men from Carolina Herrera.
I bought this on the back of 212 SEXY MEN as well as 212 MEN, two previous fragrances from Carolina Herrera. SEXY MEN is my favourite out of the two, it’s more spicy and woody, and I prefer these types of seductive scents. On the back of both of these, I got 212 VIP when it was released, back in 2011.
When you’re off on a night out and you’re looking in your wardrobe for something to wear, what do you reach for? The going out shirt!
The way to do this was to look your best, and we always had that one item which we wore when we wanted to look, and perhaps even more importantly feel like a boss. This was affectionately known as the going out shirt.
