Kid Cudi and his blog

I have alot of respect for Kid Cudi. I feel like he’s in a great place right now and have all the right people invested in his success. I peeped his blog earlier today and I’m feeling it. I’m super late with this given the fact that he’s been posting for about a year now, but I especially dig the realness of what he writes. He’s human, and that comes across in his posts, and through what he does. He had a fan BBQ this past summer where heads got to just kick back on some chill shit and talk and eat. That’s wassup!

Ryan Leslie

I threw Ryan Leslie on here for some of the same reasons I put Kid Cudi. Music I can dig, and accessibility. Ryan is another dude that comes across really well as a human being and not as this untouchable rock-star of sorts. He’s really been able to use his site, and connecting with people(be it facebook or even through text message) to reach audiences. As a matter of fact he’ll be performing at SOB’s in the city next Wednesday and Thursday which I was actually going to give a separate post on but it’s already sold out. lol

Acqua Di Gio

I remember getting this as a gift senior year in High School and I haven’t stopped purchasing it since. It’s just an all around great smell that’s instantly recognizable after all these years. I attribute it’s success to it’s overall balance. It just smells great. Simple. Plus, although it’s on the lighter side and works well during the spring/summer months, it’s not too faint to hold up in the winter. Even tho I fux with a lot of fragrances this is one of the few that I always keep on auto-refill.

2xist Boxer Briefs

Real talk… these will hands down be one of the most comfortable pair of boxerbriefs you will ever wear in your life. The cotton and waist band is super soft and so is the elastic in the thigh. They fit normal with a built in pouch in the front for a place for everything to go as you walk, sit and run. You’ll never have to readjust again. At $20 bucks for one pair, they surely ain’t cheap, but grab one or two and you won’t be disappointed.

Min-2 Solution

Lately I’ve been rocking the light shadow on the face and it kinda works me, I think, lol. When shaving, there’s nothing worse than razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Fat shouts to my old beautician that used to tighten up my locks for this one… she put me onto this solution about 2 years ago and I must admit it does the trick. I never get bumps or break out after shaving anymore. It comes in a refillable roller bottle so it’s quick and easy and there’s no need for cotton balls(thank God). It has a little sting to it, (which I don’t mind, to me that means its working) and has a strong rubbing alcohol smell which may bother you. But it definitely works and is really easy to incorporate into your shave routine.
