Mr. Dad Nose Best Me-Time Resolution #1

Tame Those Foul Dogs!

As men, we need to face an ugly fact: we stink.

It’s just one of those things. We grow beards and we stink – especially our feet.
I’m lucky that I have only a moderate case of man-foot, but my gym shoes are positively atrocious!

At first, you don’t really notice – the gym is no garden of roses after all. But pretty soon you’re holding your breath while you tie the laces and then on some hot summer afternoon you open the car door and, wiping the tears from your eyes, you wonder if AAA includes a service that could possibly remove that foul stench!

I hunted around on the web and found a few remedies but Etsy-fan that I am, I wanted to try something a little more natural and hand-made. I found these awesomely masculine-looking shoe pillows made from recycled t-shirt material and filled with cedar wood shavings (manly!) and lavender buds (ok, not so manly) to kick that nasty funk.

Look out shoe-stink, your days of unchallenged reign are over!

Me Time? Mani Time!

Winter is cruel for many reasons — cold temperatures, bitter winds, cars frozen solid in a block of ice, and, of course, alligator-skin hands. But no more! This January I resolve to give my hands the royal treatment they deserve, without breaking the bank. First I start with C.O. Bigelow Chapped Hands Cleanser (I like to leave it on for a few minutes to bask in the oh-so-soothing Aloe Vera goodness). Then I follow it up with Chapped Hands Remedy, a non-greasy, medicated lotion that keeps my hands soft and moisturized throughout the lowest of temperatures. Best of all? They are fragrance free, and won’t interfere with my new favorite scent of the season, Twilight Woods.

Me-Time Resolution #1

Get More Zzzs!

I admit — I often get sucked into the "black hole" of web browsing and often times lose track of time especially right before I go to bed — which ultimately result in late morning starts, dark under eye circles and an overall less-than-chipper Little Miss.

Well, as of 2010, I vow to be that early bird! No more late nights! Me-time is bedtime (at a decent hour).

This Aromatherapy Sleep Pillow Mist from Bath & Body Works will help guide me to sweet slumber so I can dream on and on and wake up feeling refreshed!
