<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Restoration Hardware DIY Finish Process:</b></div></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Start by lightly sanding all the pieces of the Tarva dresser to prep them for stain application. Note that I opted to stain the pieces before assembling the dresser as I felt this was easier to work with.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">After sanding the surface, you will be applying the 3 stains in the order: weathered oak, white wash, and Jacobean as the final. Let each stain dry (~1 hour) before applying next layer.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Weathered Oak: apply weathered oak stain to bare wood. The stain should give a grey tint to the wood. Apply stain generously, let sit, and wipe excess off. The longer you allow the weathered oak stain to sit, the more grey hue will be visible</li><li>White Wash: After letting the Weathered Oak layer dry, begin to apply the white wash layer. Note: you may want to apply and wipe quickly to start and keep adding to achieve your desired level of lightness. The longer you let the white wash sit, the more more pronounced it becomes.</li><li>Jacobean: Once the white wash layer has dried, apply the final stain layer of Jacobean. This dark brown stain will help to tone down the lightness of the white wash, giving it that final touch for the Restoration Hardware look. Again, the longer you let this stain sit before wiping off the excess, the dark it will look</li></ul><div>After applying all stains and allowing the piece to fully dry, you can finish your piece with the finisher of your choice - perhaps a polyurethane or furniture wax. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjtuNmVSHJyi5qbmspi7uRisxO0WfJ-NDXI60RPao-P3khiK3g8UoDdgFt7oxGMPn-wPpalocmEqqNOl7ywhl7WYtOHMfyDy93qlKkR_-LQDE655pto-8fJHMpQblyW9-MJkyg6CaFqxDKlig7CwrHyHDjimLRBRgW0Rz5MP52f8nzGgWsZ7p3JDKJYYQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3635" data-original-width="2942" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjtuNmVSHJyi5qbmspi7uRisxO0WfJ-NDXI60RPao-P3khiK3g8UoDdgFt7oxGMPn-wPpalocmEqqNOl7ywhl7WYtOHMfyDy93qlKkR_-LQDE655pto-8fJHMpQblyW9-MJkyg6CaFqxDKlig7CwrHyHDjimLRBRgW0Rz5MP52f8nzGgWsZ7p3JDKJYYQ=w259-h320" width="259" /></a></div><br /></div><div>To make my IKEA Tarva Dresser Hack a bit more modern, I opted to not attach the leg structure which helped bring the overall height down a bit, and selected square hardware pulls to put on the drawers.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOK42McvwwI1hpG54WEZ5XL2TBNN7bGQHUWB3u55uOYnSFC5Aer868slOSoM9nGF-lnjxaSNOVFWUbviU7oOx4Vlo3jlI2vbpFou3jG8WapcPG7J_4PdSIjexNY5q4EL3TVUfdxSAc5FJ7rNzGdqvVxzZ2O_dbmEPuzJkqbauqcag0DO2s8iWFPL58lA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOK42McvwwI1hpG54WEZ5XL2TBNN7bGQHUWB3u55uOYnSFC5Aer868slOSoM9nGF-lnjxaSNOVFWUbviU7oOx4Vlo3jlI2vbpFou3jG8WapcPG7J_4PdSIjexNY5q4EL3TVUfdxSAc5FJ7rNzGdqvVxzZ2O_dbmEPuzJkqbauqcag0DO2s8iWFPL58lA=w240-h320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div><b>What I Learned and What to Expect:</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>I think it is important to go into any DIY project with the right expectations.

To that end, you should expect to have some variation throughout your piece as it is hard to get every portion of the dresser <i>exactly</i> the same.</div><div><br /></div><div>Hardware really takes it to the next level and ties it all together!</div><div><br /></div><div>If you are ambitious, you can likely get through all the staining in one day if you have the space to lay out the pieces, however, I would plan on staining for ~ 2 days before assembling. </div></div>Life Through Preppy Glasseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05929342512002764182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145943182273354563.post-65603667712787609882022-02-10T16:33:00.003-05:002022-02-10T16:33:31.827-05:008 Valentine's Day Gifts for Him that He's Sure to Love | Valentine's Day 2022<p>With Valentine's Day right around the corner, finding a gift for Him that he'll love does not have to be hard.

It is the holiday season, and that means one thing- holiday parties and gatherings! Do you find yourself running around from event to event this time of the year? I know I do! Whether you are hosting your own party or looking for a great cocktail to make for a gathering you are heading to, I have a great recipe to share with you.<br />
<br />
Margaritas are always a crowd pleaser, but do they work at a holiday party? Yes! Nothing says winter and the holiday season quite like cranberry. Try serving this refreshing cranberry margarita at your next holiday party.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<b>Cranberry Margarita</b><br />
<span style="color: #2f3846; font-family: inherit;">-2 cups Alacran Cristal Tequila</span><br />
<span style="color: #2f3846; font-family: inherit;">-1 1/3 cups cranberry juice (I recommend using 100% juice variety with no sugar added. Trader Joes makes a great one)</span><br />
<span style="color: #2f3846; font-family: inherit;">-3 tbsp Agave Syrup or sweetened to taste (Note: I use agave to make the drink fresher. If you are accustomed to an orange liqueur, use 1 Cup Cointreau of Grand Marnier) </span><br />
<span style="color: #2f3846; font-family: inherit;">-2/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice </span><br />
<span style="color: #2f3846; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #2f3846; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #2f3846; font-family: inherit;">1. If you like a salted rim: place salt on small plate, wet rim, and apply salt to rims of glasses</span><br />
<span style="color: #2f3846; font-family: inherit;">2. Combine the tequila, cranberry juice, orange liqueur, lime juice, and ice in a large pitcher, and stir.</span><br />

<span style="color: #2f3846; font-family: inherit;">I like using <a href="http://www.autenticoalacran.com/">Alacran Tequila</a> </span><span id="m_-367716531752783020VOCUSHTML"><span style="font-family: inherit;">because it is an ultra premium anejo tequila. It is packaged in a beautiful, clear glass bottle that is sleek looking. The tequila uses agaves from 7-10 years old harvested in the highlands of Jalisco. It is matured for 14 months in American Oak barrels from bourbon generating a rich, woody flavor with a hint of vanilla. As a result of their exclusive clarifying filtration process, a crystal product is produced with light gold reflections.</span><b style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;"> </b></span><br />

<br />
Just as we change out our wardrobes with the season, exchanging shorts for pants and polos for sweaters, it is important to change out our fragrance as well. Summer is great for lighter fragrance; I personally loved <a href="http://lifethroughpreppyglasses.blogspot.com/2016/06/dolce-gabbana-releases-limited-edition.html">Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue</a> this summer, but just like the the summer days have come to an end, so, too, has my daily use of the fragrance.<br />
<br />
A good cologne is an important part of any gentleman's wardrobe. Finding the right one can be difficult, but once you you find "the signature" you know it is right. A great cologne for the fall season is BOSS THE SCENT, by Hugo Boss. It has become my personal favorite, and I can honestly say that this is one of the best fragrances I have used.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--vWo1erjLZE/V_v2CKuSclI/AAAAAAAAEk8/JGzyJTV-NaQHzd6DMI1fXGtnLBopLJnKgCLcB/s1600/DSC_1895.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--vWo1erjLZE/V_v2CKuSclI/AAAAAAAAEk8/JGzyJTV-NaQHzd6DMI1fXGtnLBopLJnKgCLcB/s400/DSC_1895.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The new fragrance from Hugo Boss is all about seduction and wearing a scent that is memorable, since scent is one of the strongest things tied to memory. BOSS THE SCENT is the perfect compliment to the fall season, rooted in notes of an intense, burnished leather. The scent is rich and powerful, yet not overbearing, and is reminiscent of some popular fragrances that cost upwards of $250 a bottle. THE SCENT contains an exclusive ingredient from Africa: the aphrodisiac Maninka fruit, evocative of passion fruit and rum. The cologne has notes of spicy ginger and Maninka with lavender based in rich leather.<br />

<br />
I find this fragrance to last all-day, making at a great choice for day to night or office to happy hour. Grab your favorite sweater and pair with Hugo Boss THE SCENT for the ultimate masculine fall scent.<br />

<br />
<br />
The West Coast fashion label, <a href="http://www.johnnie-o.com/" target="_blank">johnnie-O</a>, has been developing their product offering and expanding on the east coast since launching a few years ago, offering up an aesthetic that is the perfect mix between east and west coast styles.<br />
<br />
I previously wrote about <a href="http://lifethroughpreppyglasses.blogspot.com/2014/06/west-coast-prep-with-johnnie-o.html" target="_blank">johnnie-O and the great brand they were establishing</a>, but if they are not on your radar yet, I highly recommend checking them out. The band attracts me for two reasons, namely the product and the quality. For those that feel that sometimes the true "east coast" prep look can be a bit much while the traditional "west coast" vibe is too relaxed, the johnnie-O product is perfect for you as it harmoniously combines these to offer up what is dubs, "west coast prep."<br />
<br />
Headed up by John O'Donnell, the brand's aesthetic is inspired by his days in LA where he traded his penny loafers for sandals. O'Donnell is a strong believer in having what you love, and this is exactly what inspired the west coast prep pieces. He loved the preppy essentials of his Chicago childhood, but also loved the casualness of his time spent in LA and mixed these two looks to create the Johnnie-O line.<br />
<br />
I have experienced the the product first hand, and can notably say that you can feel the quality of the fabric and the attention to detail. The fabrics feel soft yet substantial as opposed to some of the common prep brands with ponies or crocs. Additionally, the pieces still contain the details that smaller brands offer, one of the reasons I personally love finding new brands. My personal favorite feature on johnnie-O shirts is the "tweener" button, O'Donnell's answer to the ever present conundrum of do I button the second button or not? The tweener is a hidden button on the placket that offers the perfect "in between first and second button."<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Overall the line of apparel and accessories for men and boys is based on the premise of an active lifestyle while retaining elements of tradition. One of their great new pieces is the Johnson "prep-formance" button down, crafted from performance fabric. The moisture wicking fabric makes it the perfect travel companion as it is wrinkle resistant and washable. Not to mention, the classic styling takings it from golf course to dinner....who doesn't love that?<br />
<br />
I styled the <a href="http://www.johnnie-o.com/men/berner.html#color1781" target="_blank">button down shirt</a> with classic, cotton twill <a href="http://www.johnnie-o.com/men/catalina.html" target="_blank">Catalina</a> shorts. The look is quintessentially prep, yet the fit denotes an air of relaxation, especially with the d-ring belt. This look is a go-to for weekends or rounds of golf with the shirt being versatile enough to wear to the office as well. Pair with your favorite preppy accessory, in my case Ray-Ban aviators, for the ideal look. <br />

As with clothing, bedding, and decor, I think it is important to switch out fragrance with the seasons as well. This can be done <a href="http://thevictoriashtainerteam.com/blog/2016/4/20/spring-refresh-home-fragrances" target="_blank">throughout the home</a> with candles, etc, but do not forget your favorite fragrance that you spray before heading out the door!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This summer, Dolce & Gabbana has released a limited edition version of its super popular fragrance, <i>light blue</i>. The summer version is dubbed "beauty of Capri", rendering it the perfect scent for the summer season as it crafted to capture the aura of the flowers that grow throughout the Italian Isle. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have experienced the fragrance first-hand, it love it. It is very refreshing, and a great option to trade out those heavier, winter scents usually characterized by wood notes, with the uplifting light blue. The notes on Dolce & Gabbana light blue beauty of Capri include Cedrat (fruit found across the island), Bitter Orange, Sicilian Bergamot, Neroli, Marine accord, Sichuan Pepper, Cedar wood, Vetiver, Myrrh and Musky notes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Add this limited edition fragrance to your list of summer essentials! Whether you will be traveling to Capri this summer, or simply grabbing a bottle of Wolffer Estates Rosé to enjoy in the sun, it will be the perfect compliment to your summer journeys.</div>

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6kz1m86JbYk/V2HgCxIaotI/AAAAAAAAEgE/bFZxKwHsz1kbkkn9lFUwI8mq5cy3HckdACLcB/s1600/le%2Bclub%2Boriginal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6kz1m86JbYk/V2HgCxIaotI/AAAAAAAAEgE/bFZxKwHsz1kbkkn9lFUwI8mq5cy3HckdACLcB/s400/le%2Bclub%2Boriginal.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If there is an item that is a must-have for any summer wardrobe, it is printed swim trunks. The trend is certainly gaining ground with many brand showcasing bold prints in bright colors. I have always loved loud swim trunks in the summertime, but some of the best printed trunks cost upwards of $230. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the best parts about staying on top of fashion trends is finding smaller, luxury brands that make great products and are waiting to launch into the next "it" brand. My new summer staple is coming from Miami-based luxury swimwear brand <a href="http://lecluboriginal.com/about-us/" target="_blank">Le Club Original</a>. The brand, established in 2012, is a mens and boys luxury swimwear line that draws inspiration from the colors of the vibrant Miami beaches and streets of Ocean Drive. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YX3TsTV0mmw/V2HkFzHzqqI/AAAAAAAAEgQ/C6ke-F41hGYrJ5hBG4-bRWMSRwvdis3oACLcB/s1600/Making%2BSummer%2BSplash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YX3TsTV0mmw/V2HkFzHzqqI/AAAAAAAAEgQ/C6ke-F41hGYrJ5hBG4-bRWMSRwvdis3oACLcB/s400/Making%2BSummer%2BSplash.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The brand has been gaining traction, with department stores such as Bloomingdales housing the children's collection in all of its store. Additionally, the brand has expanded out of South Florida and into hotels in global destinations such as Aruba, Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean. </div>
<br />
For 2016, Le Club Original has introduced what it has dubbed the "Splash" collection. The concept behind the collection in quite interesting, centered around some pieces of the collection that are crafted in a new fabric that, when wet, changes from vibrant solids to rich textured patterns.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0ORwnbn9hK8/V2HkoPpSdbI/AAAAAAAAEgo/ZdY4doN_ljosbshb7cetS35BVRoJA9WTACLcB/s1600/DSC_0096.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0ORwnbn9hK8/V2HkoPpSdbI/AAAAAAAAEgo/ZdY4doN_ljosbshb7cetS35BVRoJA9WTACLcB/s400/DSC_0096.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
At first touch, I was quite impressed with the quality and durable feel of the fabric. I opted for the <a href="http://lecluboriginal.com/store/adults/shorts/prints/" target="_blank">Mosaic Short</a>, as the coral and blue color palette is perfect for the summer and pairing with a pastel colored top. Sizes run true to size with a small fitting a 30in waist. The prints of the trunks are fun and vibrant, and look great when paired with a polo to spend the day running around a beach town such as the Hamptons or Nantucket.

This would make a great Father's Day gift as a lot of the options come in a matching version for the little guy. That way, both Dad and son can look good while having fun in the sun together! So grab your Le Club trunks, some rosé, and get ready to make a SPLASH this summer!<br />

We all know the importance of consumer a copious amount of water for various health reasons. I have heard many things from the golden rule of eight 8-ounce glasses a day to a half an ounce to one ounce for every pound you weigh. Lets face it, drinking this much water can be a challenge because we live in a world with so many choices. Why not an iced latte, diet coke, or a sports drink instead? Some times water just seems so <i>boring.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since <a href="http://lifethroughpreppyglasses.blogspot.com/p/young-living-essential-oils.html">joining Young Living</a> , I have been learning about the benefits of essential oils and ways to incorporate them into my existing lifestyle. There are so many oils out there and so many ways to use them, which is why I love Young Living because there is such a great community of people to help you learn about them and share best practices. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One way I have been using so of the most popular oils on a daily basis is by infusing my water with them. It is a great way to take dull, flat water and transform it into something uplifting and refreshing with the benefits of the essential oils. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I like to always have my citrus trio on-hand, namely <a href="https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/lemon-essential-oi?sponsorid=2629868&enrollerid=2629868&isocountrycode=US&isolanguagecode=en&type=customerl">lemon</a>, <a href="https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/grapefruit-essential-oil?sponsorid=2629868&enrollerid=2629868&isocountrycode=US&isolanguagecode=en&type=customer">grapefruit</a>, and <a href="https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/citrus-fresh-essential-oil?sponsorid=2629868&enrollerid=2629868&isocountrycode=US&isolanguagecode=en&type=customer">citrus fresh</a>. There are a lot of different oils that can be used in water, but I find the citrus ones to be the most uplifting and refreshing, and enjoy their benefits as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I tend to start off my morning with a few drops of lemon in my water. Lemon is an energy booster and a great way to kickstart the metabolism for the day, not to mention is can promote healthy skin appearance and function as a detoxor as well. Throughout the day I use grapefruit or citrus fresh in my water. Grapefruit tastes so fresh and is known to reduce sugar cravings and help with weight loss.* I also enjoy citrus fresh as it is a fusion of citrus and mint. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tip: Try adding them into sparkling water or seltzer for a very refreshing DIY flavored beverage without any added sugars or syrups. </div>

The spring season has shaped up to be an interesting one thus far. A week of 80s and sun in the beginning of April, followed by cooler temps and May commencing with a week of rain and temperatures barely in the 60s. While spring fever has us all wanting to pull out our bright chinos and leave the jacket at home, sometimes you have to face the reality...or weather...outside!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have found that if there is one thing that is worth investing in in your wardrobe, it is your collection of jackets. From blazers to traditional outerwear to more edgy pieces, I find that my jackets are what really completes an outfit aside from serving their functional purpose. With the "spring" chill still in the air, a jacket is certainly necessary when heading out for the day. It is the weather that calls for a great spring jacket, namely something that keeps you warm enough if you are wearing short sleeves underneath, but is not heavy like a wool or down piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been reaching for a piece that is certainly more edgy that some classic styles, however, I find that outerwear is easy to wear whether it fits into your "defined" style or not. This jacket is actually a linen/cotton blend so it is the perfect weight for cool mornings, and sunnier afternoons that transition into chilly cool nights at a happy hour. The leather patches bring a "cool" edge to the piece as well as the motorcycle styling. I paired it with a pair of jeans, a simple v-neck, and boots for an easy, chilly spring look.</div>

The first few days may have felt more like January thus far, but it is certainly time to start thinking about <i>spring</i> clothing. I always love to check out the spring collection from <a href="http://www.jmclaughlin.com/">J.McLaughlin </a>as the clean, simple, and classic pieces are refreshing and evoke thoughts of warmer days in the sun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
J.McLaughlin was started by two brothers in 1977 with the goal of creating a new American sportswear brand based in New York. Their stores have a "good neighbor" feel with the clothing representing an effortless, classic fashion. Some of their busiest stores are in the locals we escape to in the warmer months; Southampton, Martha's Vineyard, and Kiawah Island. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The spring 2016 collection evokes the effortlessness of these popular summer destinations. With classic silhouettes and bold prints, the pieces are as preppy as they are classic. The collection makes throwing together a great look as easy as passing a day on the sand. Navy blazers for men and sundresses for women, this is <a href="http://www.jmclaughlin.com/">J.McLaughlin</a>. Below are some of my favorite looks from the spring 2016 collection. </div>

A bar cart is a great addition to any apartment or space, becoming the go-to after work or the hotspot during a party. When it comes to a bar cart, look for something that matches the style or aesthetic of your space and has enough functionality to meet your bartending needs. If you are in an apartment, space is probably at a premium. What I like most about this bar cart is its tiny footprint yet big impact in terms of storage space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you are looking for a low-cost bar cart option that is very DIY, check out the <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30216536/">Ikea Raskog Utility Cart</a>. At $29.99, it is very affordable and the metal construction makes it sturdy enough to hold all your glassware. I liked the Raskog cart as it has a modern feel that matched the aesthetic of my space. Additionally, the rolling wheels make it easy to move around during any events you may be hosting. </div>

-Your favorite libations: store them on the top shelf and arrange for an artful look</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Cocktail shaker</div>

If you are like me, you become less active in the winter, and feel the need to shed some of those pounds as soon as spring comes around...cliché? Perhaps.<br />
<br />
Along with getting back into the warm weather exercise routine comes the not so fun part of aches and pains of sore muscles. Sometimes even finding the energy to workout each day can be challenging with the craziness of life happening around us.<br />
<br />
I have added some natural products to my workout routine that have been great for soothing sore muscles after a workout or strenuous activity as well as staying energized. Whether you are the workout veteran, or the spring chicken, like myself, I think adding essential oils to your workout routine is worth a try!<br />
<br />
Instead of using all those products filled with chemicals, I have been using two essential oils from <a href="http://lifethroughpreppyglasses.blogspot.com/p/young-living-essential-oils.html">Young Living</a>, namely PanAway and Peppermint. I highly recommend the Young Living brand when it comes to essential oils for their premium quality. How do these oils come in to play for working out you may wonder?<br />
<br />
<b>PanAway Essential Oil:</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-viGU6L_Xno8/VuhZk4Cy8hI/AAAAAAAAEbY/a3aZMl7sit4bpUlBeLxBXrnPwCAcACeiQ/s1600/panaway%2Bessential%2Boil.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-viGU6L_Xno8/VuhZk4Cy8hI/AAAAAAAAEbY/a3aZMl7sit4bpUlBeLxBXrnPwCAcACeiQ/s400/panaway%2Bessential%2Boil.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/panaway-essential-oil?sponsorid=2629868&enrollerid=2629868&isocountrycode=US&isolanguagecode=en&type=customer">PanAway</a> oil has become my best friend, especially while my body gets back into shape. It is great for soothing sore muscle aches. It can be used typical and is great for a massage, or you can utilize it in a nice, hot bath which is what I like to do. PanAway has a stimulating aroma and is a popular and original combination of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint essential oils formulated by D. Gary Young.<br />
<br />
If you are feeling the workout blues, try mixing 1/2 cup of epsom salts with 4-5 drops of the PanAway essential oil blend. Let the oil soak into the salts, and then add to a hot bath, soak, and enjoy! I find myself keeping it right at the edge of the tub. If you more of a massage person, keep a bottle in your gym bag to help your fatigued muscles as it can be applied topically right to the area of soreness.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have also been focusing a lot on hydration, which is certainly important when it comes to working out. It can be difficult to consume a lot of water throughout the day, especially if you are one who likes a little flavor in a beverage. Drinking the proper amount of water is also a great way to flush out toxins from the body. Peppermint oil has been a great tool for me to focus on water consumption while feeling a boost of energy*. Try adding Peppermint essential oil to your water pre or during workout to keep alert and focused. Of course, post workout, staying hydrated is equally as important. Peppermint is a nice touch to a post workout beverage as it keeps you feeling energized and helps to avoid a post workout slump.*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/peppermint-essential-oil?sponsorid=2629868&enrollerid=2629868&isocountrycode=US&isolanguagecode=en&type=customer">Peppermint</a> is actually a key ingredient in PanAway and can be used topically as well for a soothing experience! Fresh, nostalgic, and instantly recognizable, Peppermint essential oil’s scent invigorates the mind and senses, while inspiring a sense of peace. Used topically, Peppermint oil creates a cool, tingling sensation on the skin, making it a favorite for sports massage. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Common Uses for Peppermint:</b></div>
-After a tough workout, dilute a few drops of Peppermint in V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex, and use it in a refreshing post-workout massage.<br />
-Create your own home spa. Add Peppermint and Eucalyptus Radiata to hot bath water and enjoy the relaxing, invigorating scent and aromatic steam.<br />
-Peppermint is in the same family as both Lavender and Rosemary. Diffuse the oils of these powerful botanicals together for a fresh aroma that uplifts the spirit.<br />

If you are in the city this weekend, checking out the dapper made-to-measure event at Goodman's men's store is a must...especially if you have been thinking about updating your sartorial looks this spring! The event will run through Sunday March 13th and also features renowned photographer, <a href="http://jameshoustondesign.com/">James Houston</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Offering a glimpse into the store’s vast array of Men’s fine tailoring and luxury pieces, <a href="http://blog.bergdorfgoodman.com/mens-style/goodmans-made-to-measure/#">Goodman’s Men’s Store</a> 5th Avenue windows will showcase world-renowned photographer James Houston. The windows will feature four photographs of James Houston’s series titled HORSE. Each photograph has been enlarged to fill the back wall of each window; one image per window. The windows will be completed on Thursday, March 3.<br />

“For the Spring 2016 Made-To-Measure Event, I thought the minimal, yet strong image of a horse would work well with proportion, scale and strength being hallmarks of both fine, tailored clothing and champion horses,” says Shane Ruth, Visual Director, Men’s Store & Decorative Home. This initiative was inspired by James Houston Design’s, Co-Founder and Head of Sales Michael Dimopoulos, which continues to help raise funds and awareness for the various causes Houston supports such as Global Green USA.<br />
<br />
During the event, Made-to-Measure fees will be waived and participating designers will be offering a range of exclusive fabrics, custom details with experts on site to provide personalized assistance.<br />

<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-76mtBIDIB18/VuAqfHkTDkI/AAAAAAAAEZk/xMKtjmCjRsA/s1600/SUITSUPPLY.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-76mtBIDIB18/VuAqfHkTDkI/AAAAAAAAEZk/xMKtjmCjRsA/s640/SUITSUPPLY.png" width="425" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For me, Suitsupply ad campaigns are quite recognizable. They usually feature vibrant color combinations, and, of course, the dapper men in their awesome suits and sartorial looks. This season, Suitsupply has launched its SS '16 campaign which turns up the dial evermore for the attention grabbing aspect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Female models dressed in swimsuits with men all over them? I think the suits are already sold! The concept of this season's campaign is "Tomboys." It is based on the premise that, from a man's perspective, we live a in a world of beautiful, powerful, women that know what they want and are extremely powerful...so what are we to do? Sit back and have some fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the words of the brand, they say: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>"So what's a guy to do? You're a modern gentleman, but the tables have turned. You have a certain way with the ladies...that is, until they have their way with you. You're a playboy, but what happens when the playboy becomes the plaything? </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Well, the water's warm, the women are beautiful, and the sky is drenched by the sun. And most importantly of all, you've got your best suit of armor on your back. Suddenly, it's obvious. There's nothing else to do. Simply sit back, and enjoy the ride."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I think the campaign is making a very strong, bold statement. It will be interesting to see the feedback and responses to the ads is they begin to circulate around the internet and social media world. I personally find it to be quite artistic, and thought the behind the scenes video gave some interesting insight into how the photos were developed.<br />

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p0r7Prxb4mo/Vt3jqY4laKI/AAAAAAAAEYY/oRu03ZRW43E/s1600/spring%2Bfever.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p0r7Prxb4mo/Vt3jqY4laKI/AAAAAAAAEYY/oRu03ZRW43E/s400/spring%2Bfever.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Spring Fever is officially beginning to set in. With longer days, the clock change around the corner, and this week of warmer weather, I cannot help but daydream of sun, green trees, and summer a few months away.<br />
<br />
It has certainly been a mild winter, so while I cannot complain in that regards, I am ready to ditch the wool sweaters and heavy coats in exchange for light jackets and cotton sweaters....and certainly brighter colors!<br />
<br />
Depending on where you are located, spring is definitely about layering- a jacket is necessary in the morning but by the time the afternoon sun rolls around you are rolling up your sleeves...especially as we get into the later months of the season. I used the warmer weather here as an excuse to break out some brighter colors and lighten the mood around town.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Th7K4XvfFkk/Vt3lg39fxJI/AAAAAAAAEYg/xrlwgwtQPbU/s1600/spring%2Boutfit.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="321" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Th7K4XvfFkk/Vt3lg39fxJI/AAAAAAAAEYg/xrlwgwtQPbU/s400/spring%2Boutfit.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It is certainly not time for linen or thin cotton fabrics, yet. With that in mind, I pulled a sport shirt that is crafted from a cotton/cashmere blend so it soft to the skin yet slightly heavier than traditional cotton. I paired it with go-to chinos. Note the use of cream instead of stark white...are you an avid believer in the no white before memorial day rule?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The center of this outfit was my <a href="http://lifethroughpreppyglasses.blogspot.com/2014/03/spring-footwear-with-stubbs-wootton.html">Stubbs & Wootton</a> slippers. They make quite the statement and are such a classic style from the Palm Beach brand. I finished the look with a bracelet to tie back into the red of the shoes, a preppy belt, and simple aviators.<br />

This watch is for the serious watch-lover and embodies all the rich heritage and detail you come to expect from a Breitling.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dinN9-Fu9kA/VsHfrKX3WoI/AAAAAAAAEXw/4Z-jfZIclmg/s1600/Breitling%2BAvenger%2BBandit_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dinN9-Fu9kA/VsHfrKX3WoI/AAAAAAAAEXw/4Z-jfZIclmg/s400/Breitling%2BAvenger%2BBandit_3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
With its 45mm titanium case, its gray 'stealth' look, its 'military rubber' strap and its high-performance mechanical movement, the new Avenger Bandit more forcefully than ever embodies daring feats and extreme missions.<br />
<br />
The timepiece pays hommage to the aviation world with its ultra-sturdy titanium case, a favorite metal in the field of aviation. This watch is built to perform and is crafted to be durable. The satin-brushed finished eliminate any undesirable glinting in the heat of action. This finish is carried through to the gray color dial with tone-on-tone counters which feature a luminescent coating to ensure visibility in low-light situations.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p0DBwjIZg8w/VsHf4AaxbcI/AAAAAAAAEX0/sdF0evuvYRM/s1600/Breitling%2BAvenger%2BBandit_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p0DBwjIZg8w/VsHf4AaxbcI/AAAAAAAAEX0/sdF0evuvYRM/s400/Breitling%2BAvenger%2BBandit_2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The watch is water-resistant to 1,000 ft, and features a powerful self-winding chronograph on the inside- the Breathing Caliber 13 which is officially chronometer-certified by the COSC. This watch is a token of superior reliability and precision, and should not be taken lightly.<br />

With all the other craziness going on called life, are you aware that Valentine's Day is only a few days away. While flowers are nice, why not get him a gift that he will actually use for time to come. I have talked to some of my male friends to see what they are liking the best, or what types of products they are using. Below is a list of curated gifts that will not only last longer than a bouquet of roses, but are also stylish at the same time. A mix of personal recommendations (such as the <a href="http://www.skimbacolifestyle.com/2015/06/master-dynamic-headphones.html">Master & Dynamic headphones</a>) and popular/trending items in the world of men's fashion, this list includes a few things that could make his Valentine's Day special. From a great facial cleanser to a popular cologne, select something that will make him happy and from which he will remember you for years to come. </div>

Pitti Uomo 89 just concluded in Milan. The fashion event, renowned in the men's world, is one of the most important events around the global that showcases men's fashion and accessories. If you are a menswear fan, you have probably been following the awesome street style shots on Instagram over the past few days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sartorial crowd did not come to Florence just to see ready-to-wear and accessories. Patti Uomo 89 featured some vendors that are the pinnacle of the fusion between high fashion and hi-tech. I think this is an area that will continue to grow as we become more conscious of not only the aesthetic of our style, namely our clothes selections, but also to our tech accessories as they are becoming a larger and larger part of every day life. We have seen designers collaborate with tech companies, such as the Hermes Apple Watch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One brand, <a href="http://pryma.com/">PRYMA</a>, is fusing style and Italian quality into tech accessories with its eye-catching line of headphones. Handmade in Italy, the PRYMA headphones by World of Macintosh combine world-class sound quality with high-end styling....making them a great choice for the most discerning music lover.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The line comes in five distinct designs, offering Italian leather removable headbands, die-cast aluminum ear cup body, removable double-socket cable, and copper and stainless steel buckles. Given the stylish appeal of these headphones, I think Pitti was the perfect setting to showcase the 100% made in Italy line.</div>

<br />
A great bag is hard to find, and when you do find one, sometimes the switching costs seem to high, namely moving all your personal belongings from when bag and getting used to a new bag. I recently wrote about <a href="http://lifethroughpreppyglasses.blogspot.com/2015/11/five-timeless-bags-for-men.html">5 timeless bags</a> that would transcend decades, however, they tend to come with high price tags as well.<br />
<br />
A great bag does not have to cause so much sticker shock. In fact, some times the $300-500 price range works well as you can find great style and functionality and not feel as guilty when you place the bag you paid a month's rent for in your closet if you change your bag often. I recently was turned onto the brand Mismo. The simplistic silhouettes, color palettes, and designs attracted me to their pieces. Leave it Danes to craft simple, beautiful products. From Ikea to <a href="http://www.skimbacolifestyle.com/2014/04/bang-olufsen-unveils-madison-avenue-flagship-store-in-nyc.html">Bang & Olufsen</a>, Scandinavians truly have a knack for simplistic design and beauty.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mismo.dk/pages/about-us">Mismo</a> calls itself the "the ultimate personal companion to the urban sophisticate." All of their designs or centered around leather as the backbone with durable canvas or other premium materials mixed in. I personally find this to be a great combination as the canvas material is quite durable while the leather adds a touch of timeless sophistication. I selected the N/S tote as it is a simple silhouette that holds quite a bit and can be worn with the long shoulder strap which I prefer. The AW15 season was inspired by the landscape of Iceland.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4pl1uCTJCcc/VosD8e8O3QI/AAAAAAAAEWA/zLlJ9EhFDI8/s1600/Mismo%2BTote.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4pl1uCTJCcc/VosD8e8O3QI/AAAAAAAAEWA/zLlJ9EhFDI8/s400/Mismo%2BTote.png" width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Apparently I am not the only one that is loving the Mismo line...it seems to be sold out at most places domestically, including Barneys where I purchased mine. I was able to find some in stock at <a href="https://www.eastdane.com/mismo-accessories-bags/br/v=1/21825.htm?folderID=21825">East Dane</a>. So if you are looking for a clean styling and premium construction, I highly recommend checking out Mismo. Perhaps it is the best bag brand you never heard of...until now!<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bCKXmXVuR3k/VoBYpR_2eFI/AAAAAAAAEU0/XFs5mI42pfg/s1600/A%2BWarm%2BWinter.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bCKXmXVuR3k/VoBYpR_2eFI/AAAAAAAAEU0/XFs5mI42pfg/s400/A%2BWarm%2BWinter.png" width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
The headlines have been saying it all...the weather this winter has been quite crazy across the entire country to say the least. If you live on the east coast, you are familiar with this <i>very</i> warm December that is quickly coming to an end. I believe in my area, there was one day in the entire month that came in average/below average. Christmas Eve day was <i>30 degrees</i> above normal...shorts anyone?<br />
<br />
With the warmer than normal weather, the heavy sweaters and jackets have stayed in the closet. Forget the big parka or ankle length coat, the weather calls for, perhaps, unconventional winter jackets. I am loving this quilted front, sweater back piece from Ralph Lauren Black Label. The piece is heavy enough for the 50-60 degree days we have been having, and the mixed media styling makes the piece fresh and modern.<br />
<br />
While it may not be the normal coat that you will show up to a December meeting in, it certainly does fit the bill. I paired it with cotton pants (rather than wool) and classic suede chelsea boots. The modern Balenciaga bracelet adds of touch of interest while remaining subtle.<br />
<br />
How are you adapting to the weather in your area?<br />

Have that special someone on your list that is the quintessential definition of a jetsetter? The below is a selection of a few items that may fit the bill for the female on your list that just has to have the best of the best.<br />
<br />
Who said jet setting was cheap? While these selections are on the pricier side, a lot of them are simple and classic and will last your gift recipient for years to come. The selections seem to be dominated in black, yet from Paris to Milan and New York to Los Angeles, black is universal and just what the jet setter is looking for.<br />
