British M, is one of Korea’s top luxury salon hair brands. It is known for its innovative technology and commitment to the environment and a healthier world.
Great news, it is OK if she used your products, the morning after. British M products are gender-neutral, eco-friendly, recyclable, and made from sustainable resources with no animal testing. So far so good.
British M products have been known to be used by celebrity stylists including those in the high-powered Korean music and entertainment industries. Let’s see what this masculine guy from Florida thinks!
I consider myself a well-rounded groomer, I believe in staying in shape, and opening doors for my date. I love to cook, that’s thanks to my Grandmother, who believed men too should know their way around the kitchen.
Too many men fail to recognize the importance of personal hygiene, staying in shape, showering, and being well-groomed. Don’t just slap on any cologne, or grab your brother’s hair products, and for some guys, you know who you are, showering when you think you need it, is out of the question.
Be sure to look for quality over quantity, stop using poor-quality hair products, filled with chemicals, they can cause harm by affecting your scalp and hair follicles. Do your research when it comes to picking hair care products, trust me, ingredients & formulations matter.
No more using the combed shampoo, conditioner, if you shop for the least expensive products you’ll get what you pay for.
BRITISH M Airy Wave Cream
After sampling British M products over the last 2 weeks, here’s my review. I was not thrilled with the scent from the Wave Cream but felt it offered moisture to my hair, especially with living in Florida, my hair tends to get dry. It was easy and flexible to work with.
BRITISH M Dandy
The British M. Dandy paste was one of my favorites. It offered volume and held my hair firmly in place without causing a sticky residue.
BRITISH M Kombucha Shampoo
The Kombucha shampoo is of good quality, the scent it’s sweet but offers a natural smell, definitely unique and masculine. I’m not a fan of over potent fragrance, it tends to fight with our cologne.
BRITISH M Kombucha Mask
Their Kombucha Mask, I enjoyed, the scent, not too overpowering again, a fresh clean scent. After the mask treatment, I did notice the difference in my hair.
BRITISH M Urban Matte Clay
The matte clay reminded me of professional barber styling wax. I like the sculpting results it gave my hair an all-day hold. The scent was fresh and not overbearing.
All in all, I give British M’s product a 7 out of 10, reasonably priced, you can purchase on Amazon and I was cool with the results.
Pisterzi Italian Grooming Art changes the way New York men look at grooming with a unique approach to the barbershop experience.
An unlikely shelter hides in the heart of downtown. Freezing winds, erratic snows, and city stress fall away in Pisterzi Italian Grooming Art’s latest Atelier, an authentic Italian barbershop in SOHO that brings new levels to the barbershop experience. Italian Master Barber Gian Antonio Pisterzi, the company’s founder, created Pisterzi Italian Grooming Art to make his own mark with an Italian style unique to the city with locations in Milan and NYC. His newest location, at 367 W Broadway, is the first to match with the colors and textures of his brand, a space that he can claim as his own. The new space embraces an intimate boutique feel of a sanctuary, which Pisterzi aims to enhance with the shop’s two private rooms where clients can enjoy one-on-one services and get pampered by the expert hands of Pisterzi barbers. Pisterzi wants to create a bubble that lets both parties focus on the barbershop experience, and to let all else fall to the wayside.
“The grooming market has grown in the past years” says Gian Antonio Pisterzi. “More men are now taking time for themselves and do not look for a simple haircut anymore. Throughout my experience, I came to know and understand better the desires and needs of customers and I have been trying to translate them into the services we provide at the ateliers. Opening a second location in the Big Apple was a step that I was longing to take, and doing it in the energetic heart of New York, felt like the right choice to make.”
Pisterzi Italian Grooming Art has also launched a new line of high-end products, which includes gels, serums, conditioners for beard and hair, cosmetics with multiple functions, and more specific treatments. The launch will also include three fragrances entirely created and produced in Italy. Born within an elegant and sophisticated Italian lifestyle, the products will also be sustainable: they will use 100% recycled paper, post-consumer aluminum, and will have reusable, refillable containers.
Pisterzi is a graduate of the prestigious Steiner Academy in London and a beholder of extensive experience as an international Master Barber in luxury brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and Acqua di Parma. Just recently, he added to his board Andrea Pirlo, the Internationally renowned soccer champion. Pirlo, who is a big aficionado of cosmetic products for personal care and well-being, faces this new challenge with enthusiasm: “I had the pleasure of personally meeting Gian Antonio Pisterzi in New York and I was struck by the culture expressed by his know-how and unique care that Barberia Pisterzi offers to its customers. I immediately wished I could be the protagonist of this enterprise which, today, evolves through a range of high-level products and a restyling of the barbershops in a sustainable way.”
Pisterzi’s other NYC atelier is located at Cipriani Club 55 in Wall Street. Check out their website for more.

Since it was first made in 1972, Gran Juvé has always been an emblematic Cava, representing the best of Juvé & Camps. Categorized as “Brut” with just 5g/l of dosage, it is only produced in exceptional vintages and is made using the best quality grapes from select vineyard plots. Aged in the bottle for about 42 months, it showcases the intensity and complexity that Cava can achieve. Hints of white flowers and stone fruit are followed by notes of a long-aged cava: brioche, toasted flavors, spices, and honey. Chardonnay contributes to the creamy mouthfeel and the Xarel.lo to the elegance and long finish. Exquisitely balanced, this dry cava is expressive, intense, complex, and fresh, a harmony of endless sensations.
A winegrowing family for over 200 years, Juvé first started producing sparkling wines under their name in 1921. This family-owned, 100% estate-based producer is revered in Spain for its painstaking focus on quality and sustainability.“Reserva de la Familia” (translating to ‘Reserve of the Family’) is the leading Gran Reserva in the world, always vintage-dated, and all the more notable because of the quality needed to produce it without dosage (‘Brut Nature’ designation). Deep, intense and elegant, initially evokes notes of ripe white fruits followed by hints of fennel, toast, and citrus to complete its distinguished aroma. Its creamy mousse is perfectly integrated in the palate, making its texture in the mouth simultaneously fresh, rounded, and evocative.
Tea is our office staple. Some love their coffee, for Downtown we prefer tea. A much more relaxing way to wake up or unwind. It’s more of an experience, a ritual, far more than just brewing. Many prepare just the perfect cup of tea individually, for some it’s the rich cream and the perfect amount of raw sugar first then the pour-in Tea Forte’s steeped tea. While others go all-natural, with lemon, and honey, regardless of your process, be sure to ask for Tea Forte this holiday season, or this could be added to your very own list!
This holiday season, be sure to open the lid to reveal a tea menu and a collection of 20 pyramid infusers in five blends, including Raspberry Ganache, Harvest Apple Spice, Winter Chai, Rum Raisin Biscotti, Spiced Ginger Plum, or our Publisher’s favorite the classics, like English Breakfast, Earl Gray, or Estate Darjeeling.
The Scrumptious Side Sleeper Pillow
Every person is unique, we each sleep in different positions. Are you a side or back sleeper? Have you heard that traditional rectangular pillows aren’t designed to support our neck and shoulders perfectly no matter what position we happen to sleep in? We’ve heard this from both our physical therapist and medical doctors, there is more and more research about having the best pillow to match your body. This unique curve from the side sleeper pillow by Honeydew does just that, it supports your neck and shoulders whether you are on your side or your back and offers proper neck alignment and support. Give yourself the gift of healthy sleep, or if you are feeling generous, get one for the entire family!
All Body by Honeydew Pillow
Are you like most people, rolling up a towel, or placing an extra pillow between your knees? Sleeping with a pillow between your kneesdramatically improves spinal alignment and promotes sleeping on your side, which helps to lessen tossing and turning throughout the night and significantly improves breathing. This can greatly reduce or even eliminate snoring, and also provides tremendous relief for those who suffer from sleep apnea. Also, hugging has been found to release oxytocin and serotonin in your body. Simply put, snuggling up with a body pillow at night can lower your heart rate and reduce stress levels. This promotes a sense of comfort and peace that will improve the quality of sleep.
Have you ever wanted to remove some stuffing from your pillow? Honeydew’s fill is the most important part of your new pillow. It literally took years of prototypes and testing before they found that oh-so-perfect blend of materials, in just the right ratio, allowing for the perfect combination of support and softness. All Honeydew pillows have a discreetly hidden zipper that lets you add or remove fill to make sure your new pillow is the perfect height for your body.

It’s almost 2022, we’ve gone from luxury highrise, private offices to home -offices, dining out to becoming gourmet home chefs, and dining in, from text message dating to online video dating, and a pandemic that does not want to go away!
Let’s make some major changes in 2022. Men have become more aware of self-grooming, body image, and hygiene, and for this we applaud you. Ladies, let’s admit that when a great smelling man walks by we quickly turn around and want to follow, or better yet get his number.
Here are some tips for men to start off on the right foot.
1. Brush and floss your teeth daily – you only get one real set of teeth. Then pucker up for a night of smooching 2. Trim the eyebrows – look in the mirror if they look bushy they are. Don’t let those bushy eyebrows get in the way of our loving gaze 3. Keep your ears and neck hair-free – just ask your hairstylist or barber to keep you manscaped. The hair on your ears and neck is not attractive. Would you want to see your girl with a mustache or ear hair? 4. Less is more with your fragrance, women love the scent of a man, that’s why we steal your shirts 5. Trim the nose hairs – yes, it sounds trivial and basic but it can make difference whether you get a second date 6. Tailor your clothes -we don’t want to think you’re wearing your father or uncle’s hand-me-downs. The right fit is sexy, no matter your size 7. Take the time to match your belt to your shoes – if you have a pair of black and brown dress shoes and a black and brown belt you are on the right track. 8. Hands, keep your nails grooming and short – if you cannot clip them then book an appointment with the nearest spa, you may even meet the one 9. Good facial cleansing is a must – good products can make your cleansing routine exciting

What’s Your Usual Hair Routine?
Would you describe yourself as high maintenance or low maintenance when it comes to your hair? You might think that going short might reduce the time spent styling your hair, but in fact, short hair requires a bit of styling too. A long pixie cut, depending on your hair texture, may also still need to be tamed with hot tools and various products.
Bear in mind, less hair does not mean less time! On the plus side, it’s so easy to spice up a short hairstyle with the right accessories for short hair. Invest in some great headbands to disguise your hair on the days you don’t feel like styling.
Go Short Gradually
Going short gradually could be a great way to ease yourself into a new hairstyle. If you have hair long enough to sit on, consider taking your hair up, bit by bit, to avoid the huge shock factor of getting it all cut off in one go! With every small transition, you should get a good idea if you are comfortable with having short hair. Or if you know what you want and you’re the spontaneous sort, just go for it!
Consider the Style
Maybe your favorite celebrity has inspired you! Gather lots of inspiration before you choose the short style you want. Find pictures of your dream haircut from all angles, remember it’s not just the front that’s being cut. Think about whether the style would be flattering for your face shape and if it would match your overall style. A good option could be to mimic the style before you go under the scissors.
Try a wig or pinning your hair up to get a realistic idea. Take some pictures of yourself and look at them every day to see if you would really be happy seeing this style in the mirror reflecting back at you.
Short hair can also suit any hair color. If your haircut has recently been transformed, why not consider a daring color next. It’s the perfect time to experiment with different shades! Check out Schwarzkopf’s guide on great hairstyles for short blonde hair if you’re looking for some inspiration.
Schwarzkopf’s hair guide
Choose the Right Stylist
The stylist can make or break your haircut. Look around for the one you think will give you the look you’re longing for. Check out online reviews or ask around for recommendations from friends and colleagues. Consider a consultation with the stylist before you book in for the hair appointment. Getting their professional insight into whether you have the right hair texture for the style can be of huge benefit.
They will likely advise you on which style would be best and give you more comfortable going into the next appointment. With your new short haircut, ensure your skin is looking fresh with our guide on how to keep your skin glowing this winter.
Hopefully, you will be more than pleased with your decision to go short. But remember, if you come out of the hair salon and aren’t sure if you have made the right decision, hair grows much faster than you think!
