Smell Like Vacation With BILT Bar Soaps and Body Washes

When it comes to showering there are two kinds of guys. There are those who can’t live without bar soap, and the others devoted to their body wash. Ultimately, how the suds smell and feel on your skin is what’s most important. Enter BILT’s line of masculine scented body washes and bar soaps inspired by exotic locations.

According to BILT’s President, Ryan O’Connell “BILT products are made with premium ingredients that men need for clean, healthy skin.” And they all have a few important things in common. “The hefty 8 oz. bar soaps and generous 16 oz. body washes are formulated with natural vegetable bases, Shea butter for moisture, and Vitamin E for antioxidant protection. They are free of parabens, sulfates, and gluten, and products are never tested on animals.”

Why ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky Is Dead Wrong About Pedicures — and the Late Kobe Bryant Would Agree 
Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

If the name Dan Orlovsky rings a bell, you probably know him for two things. He’s the quarterback who infamously ran out of the back of the end zone in 2008 as a member of the Detroit Lions. The move is considered such a bone-headed move that when Cody Kessler did the same thing in 2016, pundits wrote that Kessler pulled a Dan Orlovsky. The name also might ring a bell because of his takes as an NFL analyst on ESPN.

It turns out that there’s now a third reason why the name rings a bell. Earlier this week, Orlovsky said he’s completely against men getting pedicures. The subject came up after football fans learned that Florida Gators football coach John Sumrall, a no-nonsense tough guy, loves getting pedicures. Orlovsky appeared on Mike Greenberg’s Get Up show and made his feelings known.

The art of the summer scent: Smelling good in the heat with an expert
Person spraying cologne on their neck

I am a fan of a good scent. I write about cologne all the time and became a little obsessed with stacking fragrances and diving deep into the notes that build all my favorite scents. The top notes you smell right away, the heart notes that form the core of the fragrance, and the base notes that stick around the longest. As a matter of fact, Kevin Keller, co-founder of Fulton & Roark is who sent me down the obsessed path when he introduced me to the concept of stacking colognes a few years ago when I interviewed him for a different article on how to select the right cologne. So, now that summer is in full swing, I have been a little focused on what makes up a summer scent and how to keep it strong in the heat and humidity. So I reached out to Kevin and he hit me with some knowledge.

I don’t believe in hard seasonal rules. Fragrance is personal. If you love a dark, smoky scent, you should wear it, even in July. You might just want to go a touch lighter than you would in the winter months. – Kevin Keller, Co-Founder, Fulton & Roark

Dean Bell hits the road and talks men’s grooming
Adult, Male, Man

Dean Bell is a guy many people know from The Bachelor and The Bachelor in Paradise. He has since updated his image as an influencer searching for adventure. That search has led him to partner with Chevron this summer in celebration of the country’s 250th birthday. In addition to helping many drivers keep their engines in top shape this summer with his support of the gas, he is teaching us something he is adopting this season: Men’s grooming and skincare. As he gets a little older, he is figuring out, with the help of his wife (like most of us), the importance of taking care of his skin. But how is he doing that on the road this year? And how can we learn from his experience?

That’s what grooming is at the end of the day when it comes to skincare. You are basically keeping to your skin as youthful as you possibly can. – Dean Bell
