Kiehl's - Intensive Treatment for Dry or Callused Areas

First to recommend

Description

I play a lot of beach volleyball and the sand just destroys my feet and my dry skin. I'm not sure what I would do if I had not discovered Kiehl's Intensive Treatment for Dry or Callused areas. It's the best. I would spend the extra money and get the 8 ounce jar. This stuff is enriched with Avocado Oil, Shea Butter and smells great!

Kiehl's Ultimate Men's After Shave Balm & Moisturizer

First to recommend

Description

Like most people, I have a combination of dry, oily, and normal skin on my face. As a result, it's taken me years to find a effective, nice smelling after shave that doesn't dry my face out completely like alcohol or go on like a heavy cream. I've been using Kiehl's Ultimate Men's After Shave and Moisturizer for about three years now and I can't imagine a product that could do a better job for me. It's perfect!

It's also contains such beneficial ingredients as Allantoin, Avocado Oil, Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E to soothe and moisturize my skin after the impact of shaving or anytime.

Armani Code : Men's Fragrance

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I don't like to wear a lot of fragrance and I certainly don't want it to still be in the room after I've left. I also like light fragrances that make a positive impression without filling an entire room. I love Armani Code (which used to be called Black Code) because it's a great smelling fragrance that is always a hit with the opposite sex. When you want to make the woman you're with smile, just by walking up and giving her a hug/kiss - Armani Code makes it happen every time. :-)

For the record, Armani Code is a blend of fresh lemon and bergamot softened with hints of orange tree blossom, warmed with soothing guaiac wood, and tonka bean. How's that for layers and texture!?!

Philips Sonicare Elite 9650 Power Toothbrush Custom Care System

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

My dentist recommended that I get a Philips Sonicare toothbrush after a stern tongue lashing about the ills of gums care, flossing, and gingivitis. I'm not sure why I got the "scared straight" talk because I brush after every meal and floss before bed (are you reading this mom?)

Anyway, Costco has a special version of the Philips Sonicare tooth brush that includes two motors and three brush heads. It's perfect for traveling or taking one to the office (or anywhere else you may need to stash a dopp kit. :-)

This is it! This is THE game ball that everyone on the beach in Southern California plays beach volleyball with when they get serious about the sport. The Wilson AVP International leather game ball! Play to live -- live to play!

ps: Costco has the best price I've found, but they are only available in their SoCal stores and not online. :-(

CamelBak 25 oz Water Bottle

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I use the Camelbak 25 ounce water bottle as a way to drink plenty of water while not wasting a ton of money on bottled water and doing my part to help the environment. The bottle is a nice size, easy to clean, and comes in lots of colors. More important, you can get your daily recommended fill of H2O by drinking just 2 1/2 of these during the day. :-)

ps: This bottle is also perfect for short hikes with the dog or the Sig. O.

TaylorMade r7 CGB Max 3-PW Iron Set

First to recommend

Description

Two of my best friends turned me on to Taylor Made r7 clubs. I bought a complete set of irons and my golf game is better than it's ever been. I don't play as much as I would like because golf takes up so much time, but then again what golfer do you know that would say they play enough golf? My favorite course in the LA area is Woodley Lakes - a place that ironically has neither woods nor lakes - all the better for my golf game. See you on the links!

Dopp "General" Dopp Kit

First to recommend

Description

Let's face it -- if you ever have to get on a plane as a part of your job, are male, and over the age of 25, then you should have a Dopp Kit. Dopp kits are the single best way to stash all of your toiletries and other personal stuff, so they don't fly, spill, or leak all over your other stuff when you're traveling. A good one is made of leather and will be with you when they put you in the ground. But, you can get a starter version made of nylon from places like Target or a local drugstore. Make you mom proud... get your stuff together.

Seghesio Sonoma County Zindandel

First to recommend

Description

I found Seghesio Zinfandel at a local wine shop in my old neighborhood. My best friend and I were having a Pinot vs Zin debate in the store and the owner gave us a recommendation for each variety. He challenged us to each drink them and to open our minds a little. We didn't change camps, but I fell in love with Seghesio Zins.

Now, I am a huge fan of red zinfandel wines. I love them. I order them when I'm at dinner with friends. I drink them when I'm relaxing with friends. A great Zin is proof on Earth that there is a higher power somewhere out there.

Caymus Vineyards :: Conundrum White

2 people recommended this item

Description

Conundrum, formerly Caymus Conundrum, is a uniquely blended white wine. Most people find it a little on the sweet side because of the Muscat and Viognier in the blend, but it's a delightful wine to compliment a bold fish like Chilean Sea Bass.

I had the pleasure to visit the Caymus Winery in Napa before Conundrum production was moved to the central valley region of California. Now, Caymus only produces red wines in Napa, but I'll write about the otherworldly Caymus Cabernet Sauvignons on another day...
