6 hangover helpers for cinco de mayo featuredetoximage — Image used with permission by copyright holder

The 5^th of May provides the perfect excuse to down margaritas, or tequila straight up if you prefer, eat bagfuls of tortilla chips and gobs of guacamole. Though the date is actually a celebration of the Mexican army’s upset victory over the French forces in 1862 at the Battle of Pueblo, most people in this country just know it as the time of year they tend to overindulge in the South of the Border country’s delicious and intoxicating exports. Because it’s all fun and games and tacos until you wake up with a puffy face, clogged pores and a churning stomach, here are some remedies for seis de Mayo.

Dull skin? Here’s how to liven it up

Banish dull skin once and for all with these tips and insights

You wake up, look in the mirror, and find yourself doing a double-take—and not for good reasons. You may notice your skin looks rather blah and even gray — isn't hair what goes gray? While all the talk of achieving "radiant skin" often targets women, men may also want a glow, not merely during the summer months. However, dull skin may be standing in the way.

Having dull skin can also be about more than looking your best (though there's no shame if that's your primary pain point). Sometimes, dull skin includes side effects like patchiness, increased sensitivity, itchiness, and flakes. None of these symptoms will make you feel your best, either.

Now that the 1990s are back, we are starting to explore some of the fashion trends of the decade that brought us the rise of the flannel and the brightly colored neons and fluorescents. Of course, clothing is just the start. Accessories, shoes, and even entertainment are beginning to reach back into the 90s vault. Hair is another place where we as a society are looking backward to the 90s for inspiration. That means it is time to reexamine the crew cut and whether or not it is the right cut for you.

Like many things in men's style, the crew cut can be traced back to both the military and the Ivy League campuses. The name itself refers to the cut the members of a crew team received when they needed to keep their hair short and out of their faces to streamline their race through the water. It is also the cut that recruits receive when they sign over their lives to Uncle Sam and the United States military. Short, simple, and perfect for the summer, these are the best crew cuts for you to try in 2024.
