Sam’s Natural Wants to Groom You

What happens when a mechanic named Sam can’t find quality, natural products to clean his hands? Like any resourceful man, he somehow unearths them, even if it means creating them himself. Sam began experimenting with recipes until he finally developed his first product, the Walnut Scrub. His fellow mechanics wanted in on his concoctions, asking to purchase them for personal use. And so, Sam’s Natural was born. Free of artificial preservatives, harmful ingredients and animal byproducts, Sam and his wife Kristen formulate the line – using only sustainable manufacturing methods – fresh from New England and ship them directly to you. Their products are both safe and affordable, so all men can feel handsomely groomed all the time. Not to mention, Sam’s Natural products actually work.

But you’re a manly man, you don’t need to groom your bad, rugged self, right? If you’re a fella with this mindset, Sam has just the thing to change your mind. The Advanced Hygiene Bundle comes stocked with everything you need to start a proper grooming routine in the new year: Everyday Lotion, Soap for Men, Deodorant for Men, Slick Shave Soap, After Shave, XTreme Lip Balm and Hand Repair. Trust us – once you start a Sam’s Natural routine, you won’t want to return to your craggy ways.

Where you vacation could raise your skin cancer risk, says new study
New study reveals alarming sunscreen truths
Palm Beach, Florida

Most of us assume everyone knows the importance of protecting our skin from harmful UV rays, yet a new study suggests awareness campaigns aren't doing enough to protect Americans. A recently published study revealed a dangerous gap between what people know about sunscreen and how they use it, putting millions of Americans at an increased risk of developing skin cancer. Furthermore, the study found that specific beach destinations may have higher skin-damaging UV doses than others, indicating that where you vacation also weighs in on your overall risk of skin cancer.

The study analyzed over 378 million UV dose records from the European Space Agency and melanoma skin cancer rates from the World Health Organization for 168 countries. Those seeking the safest beach vacation possible should look to destinations such as Poland, Albania, and Iceland, with the lowest combined average daily UV radiation levels and melanoma skin cancer rates. Meanwhile, other popular beach destinations in Peru, Australia, and Ecuador had the riskiest UV radiation levels. In the U.S., Alaska, Washington, and Maine are the safest states for beachgoers who want to protect themselves from the sun.

Besides being a historic fashion house, Dolce & Gabbana is also renowned for its fragrances.

Although the brand and many others have released numerous fragrances since then, none have achieved the timelessness of Light Blue. To celebrate the fragrance’s 25th anniversary, the fashion house is back in the spotlight with a new formula that’s even more long-lasting and enticing than before.
