Top Scents for Men, Fall 2020

by Leave a Comment

Fall is well and truly here, and along with the captivating colors of the changing leaves that the season brings, come some uniquely autumnal scents. Fall is the season of raw and natural woody scents, comforting aromatic spices (no, not just pumpkin spice!), and the smell of a roaring fire. Why not embrace the season by trying out some new fragrances? Here are some colognes that truly embody the season.

Which will be your fall scent?

Will you go for a rich, woody fragrance? Or a subtly aromatic scent? If you’re not sure what should be your signature scent this season, a perfume subscription box may be ideal for you. Rather than simply opting for a costly full-size bottle of designer cologne, why not try a different scent each month and see what works for you?

Mr Burberry by Burberry

Mr Burberry captures British class and elegance. It invokes London at nighttime and brings to mind suave and sophistication. This fragrance is spicy, woody and warm. It combines urban sophistication with warmth and comfort, making it incredibly versatile and suitable for both formal and casual events. Mr Burberry has top notes of grapefruit, cardamom, tarragon, middle notes of birch leaf, nutmeg oil, cedar and base notes of sandalwood, vetiver (an essential oil known for its health benefits), and guaiac wood.

Dior Homme by Dior

The ever-popular Dior Homme, whose praises have been sung by many a celebrity, including Batman actor Robert Pattinson, is a boldly masculine fragrance that invokes woodland scents such as cedarwood whilst still maintaining a tender and sensual side. This scent is perfect for men looking to exhibit both the strength and the tenderness of their masculinity. Dior Homme is raw and natural, transporting you to a wild yet beautiful woodland. This fragrance has top notes of Moroccan grapefruit, bergamot, coriander, middle notes of iris and a base of Atlas Cedar and vetiver.

Acqua di Giò Profumo by Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani’s Acqua di Giò Profumo is a wonderfully aromatic fragrance which makes use of rich spices such as sage and rosemary to create an intoxicating cocktail of autumnal scents. This fragrance has top notes of aquatic accord, bergamot, middle notes of geranium, sage, rosemary and base notes of patchouli and incense. These combine to make a beautifully complex and spicy fragrance.

Gentleman by Givenchy

Gentleman by Givenchy is an elegantly understated combination of sweet yet warm notes. This fragrance employs a unique combination of aromatic and subtly sweet notes to create a captivating scent that is ideal for daily wear. Gentleman has top notes of pear and cardamom, middle notes of iris and lavender and base notes of patchouli, leather and black vanilla.

Perhaps one of the above fragrances simply speaks to you and is the one for you! With their range of woody and spicy scents, all of the above colognes are strong choices for this fall, and truly embody the comforting yet raw and natural aspects of the season.

Fall Treats & The Importance of Healthy Habits

Fall Treats & The Importance of Healthy Habits

With the new fall season comes many of fall’s favorite treats – pumpkin spice, apple cider and other apple treats, and ginger delights…yum! While these are delicious (I am a sucker for pumpkin spice) this also means that you cannot forget about the importance of your brushing routine. When you are tempted by sweet treats, you need to remember to keep a healthy brushing routine daily.

Fall Treats & The Importance of Healthy Habits

I know that when I get into the fall I have to keep up with my routine, which is brushing 2 times a day with flossing as well. For me, I have been really impressed with the products I have found at Kroger when it comes to dental health. Not only does Kroger have a ton of items to choose from but they also have some great ways to save money too.

Fall Treats & The Importance of Healthy Habits

One way to do this is that from September 28-29, Kroger is offering a $0.50-off Digital Coupon for Crest Cavity Protection and Tartar Protection paste. The paste, which normally costs $2.19 per 6.4 oz tube, will be sold at a temporarily reduced price of $1.49. The final cost after applying the Digital Coupon will be only $0.99 per tube! If you won’t be able to get to the store on 9/28 or 9/29, a Crest coupon insert can also be found in newspapers nationwide on Sunday–giving them you an additional $1 off any Crest Toothpaste or Kid’s Crest Toothpaste through 10/14.

Fall Treats & The Importance of Healthy Habits Fall Treats & The Importance of Healthy Habits

I am all about saving money and every little bit helps when you are from a middle class family!

Do you have a favorite toothpaste – for me it is probably Crest (as I grew up with this). What about you? Leave a comment below and let me know your favorite

Also, don’t forget to grab the deal for yourself at your local Kroger!

Time to Clean Up Your Garden This Fall With Sun Joe!

by 3 Comments

Sun Joe Electric Tiller

photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

The leaves are staring to fall and there is a brisk chill creeping into the air. That means that winter is creeping in closer and closer, especially for us that live in northern States. There are so many tasks that have to get accomplished to prepare for winter but one by far is tilling the garden.

In the past, for me, I had to borrow someone’s tiller as I did not own my own and to rent one was too cost prohibitive.

Sun Joe Electric Tiller

All of that changed this year as I had the chance to receive a Sun Joe 16 inch 13,5 amp electric garden tiller. This great tiller was perfect for the small garden that I had and with the ease of plugging this in I was able to get my garden ready for the spring by tilling under the earth.

When the box arrived I was surprised at how light it was. I had used larger tillers in the past and knew how heavy they were, but this came in a small box that was light enough for me to carry on my own.

Sun Joe Electric Tiller

As you take this our the Sun Joy electric tiller comes in only a few pieces, and you need no tools to be able t use this and get up in running in no time at all.

It took me about 5-10 minutes at most to put this together and once together and plugged in I was ready to start my work.

I found that as I took this out to the garden that once it hit the ground it cut through the earth with ease and I had no issues with getting the small garden completed in no time.

Sun Joe Electric Tiller

In the end this Sun Joe electric tiller was perfect for what I needed to get the job done! Also, for the price I could not have asked for anything better!

Below are a few thoughts that I thought I would share additionally with you!
