October is all about transitioning; putting the swim shorts back in the closet and letting go of the sandals. This is the season in which I start finding myself spending more and more time indoors. I get into the "Netflix & Chill" mode, popcorn popping, and the hot chocolate mugs start to resurrect. For me, being home also means trying new grooming products and experimenting with new trends or hacks - What can I say, I truly enjoy being home 🙂
As part of our monthly ritual, here are the items/products I mostly enjoyed using this past month. Cheers to Autumn!
Until next time,
1. Rugged & Dapper
Okay y'all... I have to admit, this was the latest addition to my October faves, I've only been using Rugged & Dapper products for a few days and it was enough to top all other items. They were nice enough to send me their entire collection so I've only had the chance to use two of their gems (Body wash - shampoo & Age defense cream).
The shampoo/body wash smells great and has a very peculiar consistency - at least what I could perceive - It left my hair soft and took care of my body's excess oil. I was really skeptical about trying a new shampoo/body wash considering that I've been using popular brand names for most of my life, but I'm so happy I did, it was worth the shift!
As for the age defense cream, the first thing that crossed my mind was "I'll never be using this," well guess what... I use it twice a day and I'm really liking how my face is starting to feel.
2. Richmond & Finch (White Marble Case)
Although this product is very straight forward, I enjoyed all the attention I received. I thought it was really cool how people would stop me and ask me about my iPhone case. The marble effect and the gold stripe was what originally captivated my attention. Now that I own the case, I think the reasons why I like it so much is because it looks great on flatlays and because of its light weight.
3. Aqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani
Moving on to fragrances, this Aqua Di Gio has definitely fulfilled my tastes. I'm usually into "not-very-strong" odors that can make a statement and at the same time leave everybody wondering - In a good sense. This fragrance smells/feels very sexy and casual. In other words, something that you would wear to a nice dinner but will also blend perfectly at the club. To illustrate my words, Aqua Di Gio is my to-go fragrance with a suit or with a leather jacket - NO, I'm not kidding! I've been rocking it way too much.
4. Ghostek Charging Tablet Bag
Okay y'all! This is definitely the most functional and coolest item of this month's list. This Ghostek bag pretty much serves as a power bank. Yes, it is designed specifically for tablets/iPads but you can charge just about anything. It comes with chargers for the most common androids and cameras, but it has a USB connector on the side which you can use for just about any portable device (except laptops). I've been in love with this bag, considering is mainly for charging purposes the bag looks pretty stylish. The size is perfect for traveling and for storing your daily on-the-go things like your keys, phone, wallet, etc. Definitely two thumbs up for this bag 🙂
5. René Furterer Complex 5
Now, let me introduce you to my latest obsession. I've been using René Furterer's complexe 5 for the past few months irregularly, but last month I decided devote myself to it in order to see faster results. I've always had really short hair, and being a man, I never did anything special to take care of it. It wasn't until I started using this product and after seeing the results that I became more conscious of my hair care.
I'm in the process of achieving strong and healthy hair with Complexe 5 and for the past 2 weeks I've been significantly noticing positive results. I'm really in love with what I'm seeing and I really appreciate that its formulated with more than 50% of pure essential oils of orange and lavender. I honestly can't wait to see the final results! Let me know what you guys think 🙂
