There’s nothing worse than arriving at your vacation destination, opening your luggage and realizing your cologne bottle has broken in your suitcase. Solid cologne is the key to smelling great while on the road. Unlike glass bottles of liquid fragrance, they’re easier to pack and won’t drench your wardrobe. Cult beard care brand Beardbrand’s new collection of solid colognes make great travel companions.

Let’s face it, not everyone on your flight will smell so good. But you will, with these new TSA friendly solid colognes. Beardbrand’s Silver Collection of colognes smell just as good as regular spray scents but are made with beeswax and jojoba oil instead of alcohol. Because they have a high concentration of natural fragrances these colognes have staying power. They evaporate less quickly on your skin than traditional liquids, so a little goes a long way. Apply sparingly to your pulse points like wrists, neck and behind the ears to improve your in-flight experience.

Pack these new earthy scents of Spiced Citrus, Tea Tree or Tea Ranger for your shorter journeys as well. Stow them in your gym bag or overnight duffle and smell great while on the fly. All are priced at the low fare of $35.

Spiced Citrus: A warm scent of grapefruit, clove, and vanilla.

Collagen protein vs whey protein: Which should you choose?

Collagen protein vs whey protein: What to consider

collagen-protein

Collagen protein powder and whey protein might look the same from their packaging, but each of these workout supplements differs in their use and makeup. Whey protein powder has been used by fitness enthusiasts for decades, offering a convenient way to achieve protein macro goals. But powdered collagen supplements have only recently become a fitness trend -- but is it a fad? In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know about choosing collagen protein vs whey and how to determine which is best for your fitness goals.
What is collagen?
Collagen is an essential protein that plays many critical roles in our bodies such as providing structure and support for our bones, muscles, ligaments, connective tissues, and more. This important protein makes up about 30% of your body's total protein but declines naturally with age. Collagen peptide products are made from animal tissues (cow) that are boiled and dehydrated to create a powdered supplement. Once collagen begins gelatin and is made into a powder, it is packaged as a flavorless supplement you can find in your local health food or vitamin store. kasarp studio / Shutterstock
What is whey protein?

Whey protein is another product found in powdered supplement form. This protein supplement is made from whey, a byproduct liquid that separates milk when cheese is made. During the cheese-making process, milk fat coagulates and leaves behind whey, which is then turned into a powdered form. This is a complete protein that contains all nine essential amino acids. Our bodies cannot produce essential amino acids on their own; which means we must consume them in our diet.

All the camping toiletries you need for a weekend (or a week) in the woods

Just because you're in the wild doesn't mean you have to look and smell like it

Hiking, camping, and exploring the great outdoors give you a much-needed perspective change on just about all of life's greatest mysteries. It's like pushing the reset button on our human operating systems. When you return to "the real world," you're often completely refreshed and performing optimally across all facets of your life. Among other things, it shows you just how few things you need to exist in blissful harmony with nature.

Out there in the woods, you don't need much aside from the best camping tent, a good sleeping bag, and cooking gear to prep your favorite camping meals. But just because you pack light doesn't mean you have to skimp on the toiletries. It's an essential step that many people forget, but you want a few items to clean yourself up after an all-day hike or fishing adventure.
