Add New Styles to Your Man’s Wardrobe with Clothes from The Idle Man

February 5, 2018 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

When it comes to shopping for my husband, one of my favourite go-to gift ideas is new clothing. I have a love of fashion that I’ve gradually passed on to Jeremy, in large part by giving him outfits that I think are especially stylish.

Because of that, I’m always on the lookout for new online shops that have trendy clothing for men. When I discovered The Idle Man online boutique, I knew I’d found a new favourite spot for affordable and fashionable menswear. And I was thrilled when I got the chance to choose a Valentine’s Day outfit to review. [Read more…]

Three Orange Naturals Products to Maximize Men’s Health #ONatural

June 22, 2016 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

One of the main reasons I’ve managed to improve my own health lately is because of my fiancé. He’s been passionate about his well-being and when I see him running every day, doing yoga and coming up with tasty and healthy meal ideas, it’s only natural that I join in as well. He turned thirty this year and so his body’s health requirements are starting to change a bit. Luckily, Orange Naturals is there for him with products to help him feel his best for years to come! If you want to ensure the special man in your life has the vitamins and minerals his body needs, these three products are a great place to start:

Prostate Health – Do not let the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) take over your life! Symptoms of BPH include weak urine flow, incomplete voiding and frequent urination (day or night). Prostate Health with saw palmetto can promote seamless sleepful nights!
ND Shake for Men – The first nutrient dense shake customized for a man’s unique physiological needs. It combines a professionally formulated men’s multivitamin with a blend of 18g plant protein, greens, superfruits and fibre. It also includes nutrients specific to men’s health, such as cinnamon to keep blood sugar levels in check, lycopene for prostate health and CoQ10 for maintaining heart health.
CoQ10 – As we age, our ability to produce CoQ10 on our own is reduced. Taking a supplement may be critical for heart health. It also helps to prevent migraine headaches!

Of course, eating healthy, regular exercise and a good night’s sleep are also crucial to overall health. So doing thirty minutes of cardio exercise three times a week, eating a high protein, high fibre diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and getting at least eight hours of sleep each night are a must!

Since my fiancé and I are taking a family cruise at the end of the month, feeling healthy and fit before we leave is a goal for both of us. And thanks to a healthy lifestyle and a little help from Orange Naturals, I’m sure we’ll both be in peak shape when we set sail! Check out the full selection of vitamins, minerals and supplements from Orange Natural to help maximize your health, and make this summer the healthiest one yet!

Help the Men in Your Life Stay Healthy with These 4 Easy Tips #ONatural

June 18, 2015 by Kathryn 40 Comments

My parents separated when I was quite young, and after my dad remarried I didn’t see him very often throughout the year. But one day that my siblings and I always spent with our dad was Father’s Day, and it was always a day we enjoyed. Thinking about how much I’ve grown since those early celebrations on my dad’s acreage often make me think about how much older my dad is too. While he’s pretty healthy overall, he does have some issues that make me worry at times.

Luckily, there are a few things that men of any age can do to ensure optimal health, and lots of them are pretty easy! These four easy tips are ones that will help men on the road to good health for decades to come:

1) Drinking Green Tea

I must admit that I’m not really a fan of the taste of green tea, but its many health benefits make it worth drinking anyways! Regular consumption of green tea is said to boost immunity, act as an anti-inflammatory and increase metabolism. It’s even been shown to help improve memory!

Shaving is More Luxurious with the Arbonne Sky for Men Gift Set-Giveaway

December 1, 2013 by Kathryn 134 Comments

Often, men tend to put a lot less care into their shaving routine than women. But using high-quality, nourishing products makes a big difference in getting a close, smooth shave. This Christmas, treat your man to the Arbonne Sky for Men gift set and let him experience the results for himself! Arbonne products are created with pure botanical extracts to enrich and protect the skin naturally.

This luxurious set contains Body Wash, Shave Gel and After-Shave Balm with a fresh, clean scent your man will love. My personal favourite product was the Shave Gel. While foams are an inexpensive and popular choice for shaving, they actually tend to dry out the skin, which makes it difficult to get a really smooth result. This nourishing Shave Gel is the perfect solution with a soothing and cooling formula that helps protect skin from damage and dryness. [Read more…]
