QUESTION: DO WE SMELL GREAT?
Take heed, sandalwood is having a moment; it’s the ‘it’ girl of scents, the Gigi Hadid of fragrances, and we’re ecstatic about that, especially when it’s added to more robust spices, like Sichuan pepper. (We even have sandalwood-based shaving cream, so our faces are buttery smooth AND they smell like great cologne. Yay!) But, yes, sandalwood.…

BRAND TO KNOW: KILLSPENCER
It’s a moment of “oh my goodness, so many people want to talk to me!!!!!” coupled with the sudden realization, “oh, they just want to know where my bag is from — THEY’RE USING ME!!” This is a brand to know: Killspencer. And this is what we’re deeming our “it” bag of 2016: the M-22.…

LIFE LESSONS ACCORDING TO MEN’S FASHION WEEK
First and foremost, always wear deodorant — as soon as the lights turn on in any show, it’s as if you’re thrust into an enormous communal sauna, wondering altogether why the [hellvetica] you wore a leather, sherpa jacket, and whether or not everyone around can smell you. Do they like it? Do they hate it? We’ll…

WE GOT AROUND TO THE SNOW, MEANING, WE FROZE, WE CRIED, AND FROZE SOME MORE
Dare we say, we’re very brave. VERY brave. Braver than all the Disney princes combined. After splitting a large pepperoni and sausage pizza between the two of us in Yosemite Valley, we dared to drive through a blizzard back to San Francisco. We listened to Lana Del Rey, Chris bawled silently, we drove over black ice, only seeing…

BRAND TO KNOW: HIRO CLARK
a.k.a. where we proceed to profess that we’d love to make cute, little t-shirt babies with Hiro Clark. Cute. Little. T-shirt babies. Consider the following: a t-shirt, soaked in the swimming pool of Chateau Marmot Hotel filled with the tears of failed Hollywood dreams and starlets, crystallized from hang drying, and made from super…

WE TRIED WEARABLE TECH AND ALL WE GOT WAS A BETTER LIFE
Where our wrists have become decidedly smarter than our brains and trendier than our ankles. Which elicits the appropriate question, where’s the wearable technology for our ankles? Google anklets? GANKLETS?! Regardless, we had been reluctant to adopt the wearable tech trend as of late, which, in the confines of San Francisco, is akin only to…

MINI HOME MAKEOVER, PT.I
We love sleep. It’s a fact so true, angels consider it the ultimate truth. That, and probably whatever the Pope says. But, that’s beside the point. Over the course of three years, it’s taken us three years to redesign our apartment. And by that, we mean to say, we’ve only gotten so far as our…

DEAR DIARY: LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
Dearest Diary, Today is September 27th. And we’ve been sobbing for a good six hours. Okay, no, that’s such an exaggeration. Kind of like how we exaggerated about Thomas, our cat, talking to us — we need to get out more. BUT, we did cry (in happiness) at five different points during today. When we…

WHERE TO: INTEGRATRON
Our Integratron experience can quickly be summarized by the following: Chris weeping silently to himself like Anne Hathaway in every movie she’s ever been in and Brock snoring SO LOUDLY through the most lucid sleep of his life, surrounded by twenty other strangers, laying on comfy blankets in an air conditioned dome in the middle of the…
