You have brought my Brooklyn back to the fun loving, energentic, and even sometimes risk taking child she used to be. Her confidence is amazing and her excitement over going to Kindergarten tomorrow fills both Billy's and My hearts ( and my mom's, and Jordan's...lol) with Joy!
We can't thank you enough and wish you all a wonderful school year!
She was so ready for Kindergarten!!
We love The Animated Child! We love the teachers and Mrs. Alexy Hall! They genuinely care for the kids, respect them as human beings and nurture them. You are doing an amazing job!!!
I was really happy to find Animated Child. Ms, Alexy shares many of my views about play and the center focuses on STEAM activities. We love that. My children get to spend the afternoon in a small group playing games that involve imagination. They do science experiments or marshmallow Monday's. They talk about Harry Potter and Warrior Cats, They walk to the park. But, their favorite part is Minecraft on Friday. There are many days when they complain about time to go home.
I was very nervous about sending my children to an after-school program. I've seen SAC and it seems to be a zoo of children screaming at the top of their lungs. My daughter felt that going to SAC would be the ultimate punishment. This is our second year of the after-school program. My children also attended seven weeks of camp and a Saturday game design class. They like Ms. Alexy, Mr. Nathan and the staff - especially Mr. Taylor. My daughter isn't always the easiest child, but Ms. Alexy is able to work with her and she lets me know what is going on. I feel better knowing that when my children aren't with me, they are still in a caring, supportive environment.
He loves it here, he asks for more time here, he is never ready to go home!
I like it here because I can earn Minecraft on Fridays and I play chess against Mr. Taylor!
I love coming to read to the little kids and to run the center store!
Their Spanish is amazing. They speak Spanish like it's nothing special at all, just part of the regular routine here. They all sit together and enjoy class, they even speak Spanish to each other!
We love Animated Child. I have compared everything in the area and they are the best! If you want high standards, loving & nurturing environment, and a quality education, this is the place.
This is the best place I have ever taken my children. They beg me to take them to Saturday open exploration. I love that they play and learn while exploring everything that is offered. The Animated Child is an inclusive environment so there is something for all of my children. Anyone looking for an amazing experience to share with their children should check them out. I am so happy that I did!
First time customers on snow day today with Open Exploration and some Minecraft time. Clean and new facility, good indoor lighting, smells clean, nice staff, great time had by all!!!!
Visited animated child for an open play. Very nice premises, friendly staff, were even offered beverages :-) Kids (1 y.o., 4 y.o. and 7 y.o) had tons of fun. Highly recommend!

Double Post Sunday: Grey's Recap
Callie talks about how having sex with Mark just makes her miss Arizona. Yeah, Callie, having sex with Mark makes me Arizona too...
*Cristina is going fishing with Derek. Meredith thinks this is weird. And, not gonna lie, so did I at first.
Meredith: There are no bathrooms out there, you know.
Cristina: I know.
MormonLesbian: Why are you two saying this so dramatic-like?
*I love Bossy Fishing Cristina! And it totally makes me miss fishing in Minnesota.
*Bailey was adorable when she was excited. And she totally twirled!
Caught a fish!
*Arizona came back for Callie!!!
And Callie does look super pretty...
Although I should never shut the door on this face...
I do understand why. Yes, Callie was super whiny about moving to Africa and, if I were JCap, I would have left her behind too. But Callie was willing to move her whole life to Africa. And then she probably feels terrible for having slept with the Man Whore.
And yes, she shut the door. But who knows if she opened it back up right after...
(But JCap=Amazing actress... Her face... GAH!)

Thanks for blogging about my guilty pleasure. I'm pretty much the Arizona in my relationship (career issues too difficult to explain without writing a novel), so I was pretty devastated by this episode.

Holi, the festival of colours is the perfect time for us to take a much needed break from the rigors of everyday life and have the time of our life with friends and family. Get-togethers and playing with colors is a common sight during this fun-filled festival celebrated across India. 'Gulal' (dry colours) makes Holi one of the most vibrant festivals and drinking 'bhaang' can completely change your mood by making you feel lightheaded.
Our expert astrologers describes how natives of each Zodiac sign will celebrateHoli, considering their typical personality traits.
Aries likes to lead and during Holi too, these folks will be the first ones to assemble their friends and family and get things started. They celebrate with much enthusiasm and they love it when things are light and uncomplicated.
Although Taurus is a very laidback Earth sign, they do like to celebrate and have a good time. You may need to ask them to take it easy on the 'bhaang' drinking. They enjoy the company of close friends and would prefer to celebrate this occasion with those who are dear to them. They like wishing people.
Airy Gemini loves all things social. As long as there are interesting people that provide people of this sign with an opportunity to talk and exchange ideas, they are excited about celebrating. They like mingling and interacting with people.
As long as things are not too loud, Cancer will have a good time. They want to be included and wouldn't mind it if you pay special attention to them. Only when the celebration stops making sense and is no longer a getting together of likeminded individuals, Cancer may suddenly start feeling blue and sulk in a corner for no apparent reason.
Consider our expert astrologers online, to find out how auspicious this Holi would be for you.
For Leo, a festival like Holi is the perfect occasion to grab the spotlight and remain the centre of attention by doing things that are likely to draw other people's interest. They may make speeches or say funny things to ensure everyone's paying attention. This sign lives to have fun.
Virgo is not too keen on getting their hands dirty with colours. They prefer to keep things as understated and simple as possible on this day. They are sentimental people but are not too comfortable with being expressive. A quiet lunch with close friends and family is preferred. Don't expect them to let their hair hang down.
Libra is a very sociable sign and for them, celebrations are all about planning how to make this day as special as it can be. They like discussing unique ideas to do something different to make Holi a memorable occasion. When the actual day arrives, Libra may take a backseat and let others take charge.
Scorpio may find it confusing and may not be sure whether or not they want to celebrate. There are times when they feel extremely social and at times, they want to be left alone. It all depends upon the current mood they are in. But, it's always a close-knit affair for people who belong to this sign.
Sagittarius likes partying in order to celebrate festivals or other occasions. They like inviting people from various walks of life and those who belong to different cultures and countries. As long as it's not boring or traditional, Sagittarius will have a good time.
Capricorn will celebrate but this is not a sign known for their socializing, so do not expect them to be in charge of making this day a memorable one for you. They like to remain in the sidelines and observing others have a good time.
Aquarius is an eccentric sign and they love meeting new people and enjoy observing others in a social situation. They will be funny and they may even celebrate in a weird way. But, it's always nice to have people of this sign around during any festival.
Pisces is extremely excited about celebrations, but it again depends upon their mood whether or not they'll celebrate in a big way. If anyone says anything harsh or negative to this sensitive sign, they'll scowl and frown and will do anything they can to make it known to everyone that they are suffering from a mood swing. But, if things are to their liking and no one spoils their day, they will be at their cheerful best and celebrate like no other.

Already the 2nd Tuesday for the New Baking with Julia? Where did last the two weeks go?
SWOOSH!! Gone!!
But even though we had two weeks since the last BwJ I didn't get to this tart until Monday. If I had know how easy it really was I would have made it weeks ago.
Actually, I did know, I just didnt' have any biscotti and I didn't want to make it with other cookies, although it would have worked just fine.
The filling for this tart {Baked by David Ogonowski} is a simple "bittersweet creamy chocolate truffle concoction" that has crunch added in with the bits of biscotti. I didn't have time to make any so I picked up a bag of biscotti bites and they worked fine. I only made 1/4 of the filling recipe and that filled, well, one 4.5″ tart. (I made the full pastry recipe knowing I could use it for SOMETHING!!)
The differing textures of the cookie in the creamy filling was interesting. The added in white chocolate bits and the milk chocolate didn't stand out but did add to the richness of the flavor.
You can see that it was a creamy filling (unless I undercooked it!) and it was GOOD!! And I am so glad it is now GONE! Swoosh!!
Spike of Spike Bakes and Steph of A Whisk and a Spoon were the hosts for this week's TWD:BwJ so you can find the recipe on their pages. And their's are beautiful!!
You can also find it in Baking with Julia on page 382/383.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani condemned the Israeli brutal attacks on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and said Egypt has agreed to help Iran dispatch its humanitarian aid to Gaza.
"Today we received a message from Egypt at the end of the troika meeting declaring the Arab country's readiness to help Iran send humanitarian aid to Egypt," Larijani said on the sidelines of a troika meeting of the Parliamentary Union of Islamic Cooperation (PUIC) in Tehran on Tuesday.
He noted that the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) will take practical measures to send medicine and foodstuff to Egypt and from there to the Gaza Strip via land.
The PUIC troika meeting was held in Tehran on Tuesday to discuss ways to stop the Israeli massacre of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The PUIC troika meeting opened in the presence of seven parliament speakers from Iran, Mali, Sudan, Syria, Palestine, Qatar and Turkey as well as several parliamentary delegations from Kuwait, Lebanon, Pakistan and Oman, and wrapped up work last night.
Addressing the opening ceremony of the PUIC meeting, PUIC Secretary General Mahmoud Erol Kilic pointed to the massacre of the defenseless children and women in Gaza, and said, "Women and children are the main victims of these attacks and the Muslim Ummah should pay prime and main attention to the Palestinian cause as its main agenda."
He noted that 19 lawmakers and 7 parliament speakers are attending the meeting, showing the importance of the event.
He urged the meeting to think of ways to put an immediate end to the massacre of the Gazans by the Israelis.
The PUIC Troika consists of the previous, current, and future presidents of the PUIC Conference, which is currently presided by Iran.
On July 14, Larijani held phone calls with his Malian and Sudanese counterparts Issaka Sidibé and Fatih Ezzedine al-Mansur as the previous and future chairmen of the PUIC Conference and called for emergency meeting of the PUIC Troika over deadly Israeli air raids on the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Reports say over 670 Palestinians have been killed and over 3,700 others wounded in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip over the past 16 days. Since July 8, Israel has struck more than 1,800 targets across Gaza, which is home to around 1.8 million Palestinians.

Go to the places where they oppress women;
Go to the places where they hang homosexuals in squares and deny the rights of minorities.
Go to the places where there is no freedom of expression, no freedom of press, no independent courts and no human rights organizations. There are no human rights. Go to Teheran. Go to Gaza.
For those for whom human rights are truly important, you need to support the democratic and liberal Israel against these dark forces.

Earlier today a young man named Abdul Razak Artan attacked civilians in the Ohio State University Campus. He attacked and injured 9 people with a butcher knife before he was killed by the Police. As of this moment, the authorities are still investigating whether it was an act of terrorism.
I came across this captioned photo of Abdul in social media.
The following article is a result of spending the past year conversing with Trump Campaign Supporters from many walks of life.
Donald Trump is the President of the United States of America. Many of my progressive friends are wondering "Why? He said the most obnoxious things." My entire Facebook news feed is filled with inner city Progressives drawing the conclusion that Donald Trump won merely because half of the country are white supremacist racists, xenophobic, misogynistic etc. There is an absolute freak out about end times coming and the Trump Presidency being the apocalypse for the world.
So to break it down with their logic: "Donald Trump says bigoted and misogynistic remarks. He is a bigot. If you support him despite this bigotry, you are a bigot too. Half the country supported him. Half the country are bigots."

A few months ago 20th Century Fox Productions was advertising X Men Apocalypse. The following image was an ad for the billboard.
The image shows Apocalypse, a powerful villain, choking Mystique.
As we can expect of today's politically correct leftist climate, feminists were offended.
Feminists found this image too "problematic" because:
In the video below I go into a famous quote from the Quran Muslims refer to after terror attacks. Here's a hint: they severely misquote it. I also wrote about this verse here. Enjoy!

Finding the Right Apartment to Rent
Finding the right apartment can be a stressful process! The best way to go about it, is to narrow down the list of what is important to you first and then start shopping around! Also, always visit a property in person, it could be very different then how it seems online. With that being said, consider the following items when searching for your new digs.
- What amenities are important? – Are amenities important to you? If so, which ones? Gym, game room, dog park and pool are just some of many examples. Some buildings lack amenities and others have many amenities. Keep this in mind on a search for the right place.
- What size apartment? – This goes for bedroom/bathrooms and also square footage. Do you need a lot of space? Or are you a simple liver? Either way, have this information known and in your head before searching.
- Pet friendly? – This could go either way! Maybe you love pets and need a pet friendly building or maybe you are allergic and need a pet free building. Either way, know that about every apartment
- Parking? – This generally only applies to cities. However, when looking for a city apartment and needing parking, always ask about the cost. Usually city parking for reserved spots is never free.
- Budget – Set a budget, know what you can afford and don't exceed this budget! Searching online within a budget is super easy. However, going to the building is important as previously mentioned because sometimes the price online isn't accurate.
- Commute – Plan the commute to work, school, etc and make sure it is manageable. Whether this means drive time and traffic consideration or being close to public transportation. The worst thing is to love the place you found, but end up miserable in traffic every day!
Once you know where you stand on all of these items, it will be easier to narrow down an apartment search. Visit as many apartments as possible, don't just settle with the first one! This guarantees your happiness in the final place you choose. Pay attention to reviews of both the building and the property management company as well. These can really shed light on what living in that building would be like.

Carol Tavris explains how all of us—even skeptics—can easily fall prey to bias in order to deal with the uncomfortable feeling of dissonance when we are confronted with ideas which contradict what we believe—or need—to be true.
Carol Tavris is a social psychologist, writer, and lecturer who has sought to use the contributions of psychological science to dispel some of the harms of pseudoscience and "psychobabble." Her book with Elliot Aronson, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me), has become something of a, well, bible in the skeptical movement because it explains why people don't change their minds, recognize the harms they inflict, or given up useless practices simply because the evidence says they should. The book has been translated into 13 languages and a revised edition was published last year.
This lecture took place at CSICon Las Vegas on Friday, October 28th, 2016.

Pre-Owned Office Furniture Looks Great in Your Office
Financial costs that come when operating a business can be extraordinary, especially for a small business with limited funds in place. Furniture for the office is important, but can really strain a budget. It is important to choose office furniture that not only makes the entire office look great, but that is also comfortable for employees and that doesn't cost you a small fortune to buy.
Buy Pre-Owned to Save Money
For many people, pre-owned furniture is the answer they've been looking to find when it is time to keep their costs low without sacrificing quality furniture for the office. When you opt to buy pre-owned furniture, you save a tremendous amount of money on the costs of various pieces that you need in the office. This includes pre owned office chairs, cubicles, desks, and an array of other items.
A Choice for Every Office
Pre-owned furniture pieces come in many styles and designs so it is easy to outfit your office no matter the desired style and/or outcome that you want to achieve. And, there's something to fit every budget, no matter how much money you are comfortable spending. Lots of people buy used and when the right company is purchased from, no one will ever know that you've chosen pre-owned pieces.
The Bottom Line
It is important to look for every possible way you can to save money on the costs of operating your business. Luckily, there are many simple ways to do just that, especially when it is time to add furniture to the place. Make sure you join the bandwagon and look at the used furniture options for your office and get what you want and need for a whole lot less money than before.

Dream Interpretation: End of the World
Dream Interpretation: End of the World –a really scary topic! Nonetheless, if you're looking for information on an end of the world dream you've just had, please take a look below.
If you feel like it, please share your dream of the end of the world in the comments section.
I'm interested in Dream Interpretation: End of the World, because I just had a really frightening dream about the end of the world. In my dream, tornadoes brewed on the horizon. When I awoke, I felt terrified, as if the world was actually ending. I wondered, "Is this true? Is the world really ending?"
Here's what Gillian Holloway, author of a very helpful dream interpretation book, The Complete Dream Book, says about Dream Interpretation: End of the World. I've also included a link for the book on Amazon, for your convenience. For your information, this is a book that I often consult, and highly recommend,
Here's an excerpt from Gillian's LifeTreks website on "End of the World" dreams. Interestingly, she categorizes them as nightmares. The link to her entire article on the topic is under the quote. In the following excerpt, she says:
- I find these dreams are frequently associated with a sense of impending change in the dreamers own life. The personal change tends to be somewhat global in nature, and something that changes the very foundation of life. Changes such as divorce, the death of a parent, or a change in religious faith may be associated with these last days dreams.
- Useful Questions:
- Are you going through a kind of global shift within yourself right now?
- What do you think could bring on such massive destruction?
I found her interpretation very helpful. As it turned out, I had the dream just before my husband moved to another state to take a new job. Even though he came home on weekends, I felt like our marriage had ended. He lived most of the week far away from home. In addition, he no longer involved himself in our life the way he used to. Fortunately, the job only lasted six weeks. Then he came home. Eventually, things went back to the way they had been. And, the world did not end!
Also, take a look at another one of my blog posts on End of the World Dream Interpretation:

Sunday morning and the never-empty premier park of the city, Divisoria, stirs up a buzz, but quite different from that of the two previous nights when this park gets transformed as the locale for the weekend night café.
This time it is for the now popular sports activity in the city noted for its river. It is white water rafting, widely patronized by the young uns both from local areas and by hordes of intrepid tourists from across the country.
As the pictures show white water rafting starts in the park. But initially with rafts above the heads of the would-be thrill seekers.
Lashed on top of massively-built vehicles known as the Philippine jeepneys. An unseemly amalgamation of designs and structures reminiscent of WW2 war vehicles, fitted with surplus Japanese engines and parts, joined with generic parts from local parts stores, splashed with tons of paint, and throw in a hippo for good measure. And what you see is this ugly monstrosity that passes as public utility vehicle in many parts of this country.
Less than an hour's ride going west will bring these eager beavers to the different launching sites, for several hours of fun, frolic, and fear.
Have fun!

Enna Vela teaches bridge math to seniors at Mt. Juliet High School, where she has been since 2011. Bridge math helps students whose ACT scores didn't meet state standards and helps prepare them for college.
Vela has also taught Algebra 2 at MJHS but has taught most math courses throughout her career. She was an educator in Texas for 19 years before her family moved to Tennessee.
Vela received a math degree from the University of Texas-Pan American. She didn't expect she would go into teaching, but she said Texas was in dire need of math and science teachers so they were hiring college seniors. She told her parents she would do that for a few years but has been in education ever since.
"I think once I was actually in that classroom teaching, I think the reward of seeing those students succeed and feel good about themselves was probably what sealed the deal," she said. "I found that I really enjoyed it."
Many students don't enjoy math because it can be difficult, which Vela understands as she also found it challenging when in school.
"Math was actually the one subject that I had to really work hard at, it kept me on my toes," she said.
She likes helping her students work through the challenges until they can finally have their "light bulb moments" when everything clicks.
"It's a really good feeling knowing you can help that happen," she said.
Vela was moved to be named MJHS Teacher of the Year and said it was a very big surprise, but it was nice to know her peers appreciate what she does for her students.
"Knowing that you are thought of highly by your peers is always a nice recognition," she said.

When you have a special diet, eating out can be difficult. Restaurant menus often do not list all of a dish's ingredients, and sometimes the wait staff is not fully informed about how menu items are prepared. The Forklift & Palate restaurant aims to give every customer who dines with us a great experience, no matter their dietary restrictions.
We have menu options for those who follow a gluten friendly diet and those with food allergies. Our menu also has dishes for vegans and vegetarians.
Our menu options for vegans and vegetarians focus on grains, fruits, and veggies, which make for healthier dining — and even if you aren't vegan or vegetarian, you'll likely still find these dishes delicious!
Both vegetarians and vegans avoid eating meat, and vegans follow additional dietary restrictions by not consuming any animal byproducts. They also avoid using other products (like leather) that came from animals or were tested on animals.
No matter if you're a vegetarian or a vegan, we're sure you'll love our vegan or vegetarian meals at Forklift & Palate! We strive to make sure your meal is prepared to your liking. Upon request, we can remove or substitute ingredients from menu items in order to ensure it falls within a vegan or vegetarian dietary restriction.
You can enjoy a tasty vegetarian meal at any time of the day at Forklift & Palate. Try our French Toast, Buttermilk Pancakes, Waffle or Oatmeal at breakfast. If you include eggs in your diet, you can also order our Vegetable Cheese Omelet.
At lunchtime, you have a wide selection of crunchy and filling salads, like the BBG Salad. If you're looking for something besides a salad, try our Veggie Burger or our Veggie Quesadilla.
When it's time for dinner, order the Squeaky Cheese if you're looking for a lighter meal or the Marinara Pasta. Either choice makes for a great meal to end your day.
Finish off your lunch or dinner (or both!) with a sweet dessert. Try our local, handmade ice cream, creme brulee or ice cream sandwich. Any of our desserts make the perfect conclusion to a great meal.
Like our vegetarian options, we have several vegan dishes to choose from on our menu.
For a light lunch, try our Roasted Carrot Hummus. Enjoy the smooth, creamy hummus with celery and substitute the pita chips. You could also order the Cabbage & Carrot Power Salad. This crunchy salad option is topped with cilantro and peanuts, and served with sesame seed dressing.
If you want a veggie-packed meal, order the Quinoa Power Salad. You'll get a mix of quinoa, cilantro, black beans, avocado, cotija cheese, corn, and onions, served with cumin & lime vinaigrette.
Forklift & Palate is dedicated to ensuring everyone has a delicious and satisfying meal at our restaurant, no matter your dietary restrictions. Contact us today for more detailed descriptions and explanations of how our food is prepared or make a reservation.

Updated: March 31, 2020
By Derek Martin
Every guy has had to deal with an ingrown hair at one time or another. You know, those painful, red, unsightly, puss filled bumps. No, I'm not talking about the pimples that ruined your yearbook picture.
Ingrown hairs are hairs that grow sideways or back into the skin when they should be growing upwards and out. Since our skin isn't fond of invaders, it views the rogue hair as a foreign object and responds by becoming inflamed and often times infected. Ouch.
Having to deal with a painful ingrown hair is certainly no fun. Luckily there are some effective methods for preventing ingrown hairs before they get the chance to be a pain in the ass (possibly literally).
What Causes Ingrown Hairs?
One of the leading causes of ingrown hairs is an over accumulation of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. Believe it or not, humans shed up to 1 million dead skin cells every singe day. Most of these skin cells fall off the body and actually turn up as dust found in the home. Yummy. The remaining dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of the skin, which can result in clogged hair follicles if the skin isn't exfoliated regularly.
After shaving, a clogged hair follicle can act as a barrier, and prevent new sprouts from breaking the surface of the skin; resulting in, you guessed it, an ingrown hair. Men with thick, coarse, or curly hair are more susceptible to ingrown hairs than guys with straight, fine hair. That's because thick, curly hair is more likely to grow backwards into the skin instead of straight out. And since most men's facial hair is thick, coarse and curly, it's no surprise that's where ingrown hairs most often wreak havoc.
How To Prevent Ingrown Hairs
The only surefire way of preventing ingrown hairs is to completely abstain from common hair removal methods such as: shaving, waxing, and tweezing. Since that likely isn't going to happen for most men, the next best option is implementing an effective skin care regimen to help significantly reduce the chances of sprouting one of those painful little bastards.
As we already learned, one of the main causes of ingrown hairs is clogged hair follicles thanks to an over-accumulation of dead skin cells on the skin. Because of this, regular exfoliation of the skin is one of the most effective measures a guy can take to help prevent ingrown hairs from forming. Incorporating a quality scrubbing face wash into your morning routine (ideally pre-shave) will exfoliate the surface of the skin and deep within the pores; effectively wiping out those dead skin cells, and allowing hair to emerge unimpeded from the hair follicle.
With so many options to choose from, picking the best exfoliator can certainly get confusing. To make matters a little easier, I compiled and reviewed my top 10 picks for best exfoliating face washes for ingrown hairs. Enjoy.
The Lineup:
- Clarins Men 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser
- Max Green Alchemy Scruff Rescue
- Beau Brummell Facial Scrub
- Rugged and Dapper Power Scrub
- Brickell Renewing Face Scrub
- Viking Revolution Facial Scrub
- Lather and Wood Facial Scrub
- Jack Black Face Buff
- Marlowe No.122
- Thrive Energy Scrub
10 Best Exfoliating Face Scrubs for Preventing Ingrown Hairs Reviewed
Clarins Men 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser
Clarins is known for being a luxury brand and one of the original pioneers in the science of plant-based skin care products. Their 2-in-1 exfoliating cleanser is designed for men to eliminate sweat, dirt, oil and remove dry skin; while being very effective as a pre-shave scrub and a great first defense against ingrown hairs. Gentle exfoliation is powered by natural lava powder and water activated micro-beads that feel effective in doing their job; without being overly harsh or abrasive. Skin is left feeling smooth, refreshed, and hydrated. The accompanying scent is subtle, pleasant, and distinctly masculine.
What's great about it:
• It boasts serious ingrown hair prevention
With two exfoliating actions in one, it's a bonafide two-fer. Lava powder and micro-beads combine for a gentle, yet highly effective sloughing of dead skin cells; creating a smooth, soft exfoliated finish that will not abide ingrown hairs.
• Thick and gritty
I really like the thick creamy texture of this one. It lathers incredibly well. There is also a ton of grit, that you can really feel going to work. The exfoliation is thorough, without leaving your skin feeling like it's been in a fight with a weed-whacker.
• Exfoliates with lava powder
"I exfoliate my face with lava powder." Just being able to say that sounds pretty badass. Cool factor aside, lava powder provides gentle exfoliation, while conditioning the skin. This 2-in-1 also exfoliates with dissolving, water activated micro-beads. Perhaps not quite as cool sounding as lava powder (you be the judge), but undoubtedly equally as effective.
• It hydrates
Although I still recommend using a good facial moisturizer after exfoliating; this scrub does a good job of providing hydration and not leaving your face feeling overly tight and stripped of moisture.
• 2-in-1
I like to streamline whenever possible. I'm not someone who likes to spend a lot of time on their skin care routine. This 2-in-1 eliminates a step by combining the cleansing benefits of a face wash, with the exfoliating benefits of a scrub. Convenient.
• A little goes a long way
My one small gripe with this one is the price. It's one of the more expensive exfoliators on this list. On the plus side, one tube lasts a long time. You don't need much to get the job done. The thick creamy texture works into a rich luxurious lather that covers a lot of
ground skin. A quarter sized amount is really all you need.
- Effective at preventing ingrown hairs
- Exfoliates dead skin cells and cleanses
- Works into a rich luxurious lather
- Excellent pre-shave scrub
- Hydrates skin
- Safe for daily use
- Subtle masculine scent
Max Green Alchemy Scruff Rescue
Founded in 2004, Max Green Alchemy's line of products are organic, plant based, all-natural, and they even use 100% recyclable packaging from renewable resources. Their Scruff Rescue Face Scrub is powered by pure walnut shells, and AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) for a gentle combination of mechanical and chemical exfoliation – the perfect one-two punch against ingrown hairs. Safe for daily use, this scrubbing face wash is the perfect compliment to any skin care regimen, and features a creamy texture with a masculine, all-natural scent that contains hints of wood and citrus fruit.
Why I like it:
• It says "hell no" to ingrown hairs
Scrubbing particles and AHA chemical exfoliation in one? This dynamic duo blasts through dead skin cells and clears clogged hair follicles, for highly effective ingrown hair prevention.
• All natural and organic
Nobody likes putting a bunch of unpronounceable chemicals on their skin (Phthalates anyone?). With this Scruff Rescue scrub, rest easy knowing that it's comprised of all natural and organic plant based ingredients derived straight from the earth.
• Walnut shells
Gentle exfoliation is powered by pure, ground up walnut shells. Pretty cool. Aside from being an all-natural exfoliator, another benefit of ground walnut shells is effective dead skin removal, without being overly harsh or abrasive.
• Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA)
AHA is a group of natural acids commonly found in foods. Some common AHA's you may have heard of:
- Citrus acid (all citrus fruits)
- Malic acid (apples)
- Lactic acid (milk)
- Glycolic acid (sugar cane)
Alpha hydroxy acid is a gentle yet effective exfoliator that gradually removes the uppermost layer of skin with regular use. The benefit of this is fresher, smoother and firmer skin.
• Smells awesome
Scruff Rescue smells pretty damn good. With notes of wood, citrus, and unmitigated masculinity.
- Helps prevent ingrown hairs
- Mechanical and chemical exfoliating
- All natural and organic plant based ingredients
- Safe for sensitive skin
- Safe for daily use
- Great smelling masculine scent
Beau Brummell Facial Scrub
Founded in 2013 by two brothers, Beau Brummell specializes in men's skin care products that are made in the USA of natural and organic ingredients. Each small batch is manufactured in house at their production laboratory in New York, and this organic, multi-functional facial scrub is no exception. It's formulated to exfoliate dead skin cells, while leaving moisturizing minerals and nutrients behind to re-hydrate. Natural activated charcoal and organic walnut shells power this scrubbing facial cleanser to produce a clean, smooth, matte finish.
What I like about it:
• Helps prevent ingrown hairs
Through the exfoliating power of organic walnut shells, and natural activated charcoal; this facial scrub from Beau Brummell powers through accumulated dead skin cells and clogged follicles to help prevent ingrown hairs.
• Great for sensitive skin
This organic facial scrub is free of harsh chemicals, preservatives, and irritants, making it a great choice for guys who have sensitive skin.
• It has activated charcoal
Activated charcoal is a known antioxidant and anti-inflamatory. It's popularity in skin care products is steadily growing due to it's natural exfoliating benefits and it's ability to draw toxins, chemicals, and dirt from the skin. Aside from the skin care benefits, activated charcoal is commonly used in emergency rooms to help treat overdoses and poisonings, due to it's ability to bind to toxins and help eliminate them from the body. Powerful stuff.
• It's natural and organic
Beau Brummell formulates and manufactures all of their own products with natural and organic ingredients. No harsh chemicals or irritants? What's not to like.
• It's made in small batches in the USA
A company that makes their products in small, controlled, consistent batches in the USA. I can get behind that.
- Helps prevent ingrown hairs
- Natural and organic
- It helps moisturize
- Contains activated charcoal
- Great for sensitive skin

Jack Black Face Buff
Jack Black Face Buff exfoliating facial cleanser offers deep cleaning and exfoliation in one. This wash is designed to eliminate oil, dirt, dead skin and it also unclogs pores. Specifically formulated to use as a pre-shave wash to help lift hair from the skin for a closer shave. When applied to the skin this wash offers a refreshing tingling sensation while the exfoliating particles do their job without being overly abrasive. Scented with peppermint oil for an invigorating, not too overpowering masculine touch.
Why I like it:
• Awesome for ingrown hairs
Jack Black uses natural bamboo powder to power this exfoliating scrub. Bamboo powder is a course granule obtained from Tabashi stems in liquid form, which is then crystalized at room temperature.
The bamboo powder granules are very fine in this scrub, but there is a crap ton of them; you can really feel them doing their thing. They effectively eliminate accumulated dead skin cells, for a smooth, clean finish that ingrown hairs ain't gonna step to.

I hate putting chemicals on my skin, and I suspect you guys do too. This scrub was formulated without harsh chemicals and irritants; making it safe for sensitive skin. Key natural ingredients:

- Licorice extract – A powerful antioxidant that repairs skin damage, and helps manage oily skin.
• Refreshing feel
Thanks to peppermint oil, this scrub has a cooling, refreshing tingle that feels awesome on the face.
• Peppermint smell is invigorating
I really like the invigorating feel, and smell of peppermint in my skin care products. I know it's not for everyone so keep in mind it really only lasts while it's being put to use.
Legend of the peppermint plant:
According to Greek mythology, Hades God of the underworld, was seduced by the beautiful water nymph Minthe. In a jealous rage, Hades' wife Persephone transformed Minthe into a lowly plant; to spend the rest of her days being trampled underfoot. After failed attempts by Hades to transform Minthe back, he settled on perfuming her with a sweet aroma so that passersby would be intoxicated by her fragrance, and remember her beauty.
Whether or not you subscribe to Greek mythology, you have to admit that the legend accurately describes the intoxicating qualities the scent of peppermint has.
- Exfoliates and cleanses
- Won't dry out the skin
- Eliminates dirt, oil and dead skin
- Unclogs pores
- Pleasant tingling sensation
Marlowe recently redesigned this formula for improved texture, increased scrubbing power, and better overall cleansing. The increased scrubbing power gently, but effectively removes dry skin; while the cleanser eliminates dirt, oil and unclogs pores. The exfoliating particles feel effective on the skin without being damaging. The masculine fragrance is subtle yet pleasant; containing hints of agarwood, sandalwood, and musk. This wash is also very effective as a pre-shave scrub, allowing for a closer shave.
What I like about it:
• Thick and gritty
Marlowe NO. 122 is on the creamier side of the spectrum, and there is no shortage of scrubbing particles. I was expecting more of a lather due to the creamy texture; a small gripe. But it more than makes up for it with effective exfoliation and ingrown hair prevention.
• It hydrates
Although I do always suggest using a facial moisturizer after exfoliating, this scrub does a good job of not stripping the skin, by adding moisture rich botanicals:
- Aloe vera – Everyone knows the moisturizing benefits aloe vera has, but did you know it's also highly effective at treating acne and helps fight the signs of aging?
- Passion flower extract – Soothes, moisturizes, and hydrates the skin without clogging pores. It's also known to fight the signs of aging.
• Great scent
122 is scented with a blend of agarwood, sandalwood, and musk. It's a very unique combination of scents that invoke feelings of rich leathers, woodsy terrain, and above all, strength and masculinity. Look out ladies.
• It lasts
A little goes a long way with this one. It has a thick consistency without being pasty, and is easily spreadable.
- Exfoliates and cleanses
- Eliminates dirt and oil
- Unclogs pores
- Won't dry out skin
- Masculine scent
Thrive Energy Scrub
Thrive teamed up with Costa Rican farmers to help bring this Energy scrub to reality. Using all natural ingredients, this men's face scrub is formulated with Arabica coffee beans, carnauba wax, and jojobo; designed to exfoliate, cleanse, and protect skin from stress and irritation. The premium plant based exfoliating particles scrub off dry, dead skin, unclogs pores, and helps prevent ingrown hairs. Every purchase supports rural Costa Rican farmers, and helps restore degraded farmlands.
Why I like it:
• Texture and grit
This runny, and slightly muddy looking scrub doesn't look like much at first, but don't judge a book by it's cover. The texture is on the thinner side, and works into a slight lather; making it easier to spread and work into the skin. Exfoliation is provided by coffee grounds, jojoba, and carnauba wax. The coarse coffee granules immediately stand out, which can be alarming at first, but the overall exfoliation is gentle on the skin, while still being very effective at it's job. The result is smooth, rejuvenated skin.
• Innovative
Thrive uses juanilama and fierrillo oil in their Thrive Energy Scrub. Never heard of either? That's because both oils are unique to this scrub; you won't find them anywhere else. The indigenous people of Costa Rica know about these oils, and have been using them for hundreds of years to treat a wide range of skin conditions.
- Juanilama – A natural occurring herb that has antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties; all effective at healing skin, and helping to prevent ingrown hairs.
- Fierrillo – This rainforest vine shares a lot of the same properties as juanilama, and has been used by Costa Ricans for centuries to protect their skin, and promote healing in minor cuts and abrasions.
• Coffee grounds
And yet another way Thrive stands out from the crowd. They use Arabica coffee grounds to power their facial scrub along with the help of jojoba and carnauba wax. Aside from their excellent exfoliation properties, coffee grounds offer a ton of other skin care benefits:
- Skin calming effects
- Anti-aging benefits
- Reduces inflammation
- Helps fight acne
• Smells great
This scrub has a earthy and natural fragrance that is very pleasant and masculine. Upon popping the top, expect subtle notes of clove, anise, lemon, and of course coffee beans.
- 100% natural plant based ingredients
- Exfoliates and cleanses
- Masculine scent
- Won't dry out skin
- Every purchase helps Costa Rican farmers
Choosing the Right Men's Exfoliator
Not all exfoliators are created equal. From harsh chemicals to downright ineffective products, a lot can go wrong if you don't do your homework.
So what are some things to look for?
• Natural or organic ingredients
I recommend exfoliators that use natural or organic ingredients; bonus points if they contain both. Natural ingredients are not only safer for the skin, they're safer for the environment. It's no mystery that many of these skincare products are ending up in our lakes, rivers, and oceans. Natural ingredients are much safer, and make significantly less of an impact on aquatic ecosystems and marine life.
• Some things to look out for
It's not always about what's in a product; it's sometimes more important what's not in it. Believe it or not, some common chemicals found in skincare products are not only bad for you, they're toxic. I recommend staying clear of an exfoliator (or any product) that contains any of these ingredients:
- Sodium lauryl sulfate – Known to cause skin irritation, canker sores, eye damage, and acne.
- Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) – Commonly found in exfoliators, BHA is classified by the National Toxicology Program as reasonably likely to be a human carcinogen. Carcinogens cause cancer.
- Parabens – Although not "officially" considered harmful, the FDA has linked several studies to parabens causing skin cancer, and decreased sperm count.
- Polyethylene – Used to make tiny plastic beads for exfoliators; this synthetic material is commonly contaminated with a chemical that the U.S. Government considers a probable human carcinogen.
How To Properly Use an Exfoliating Facial Scrub: Best Practices
It's not exactly brain surgery, but exfoliating with a facial scrub the right way will yield much better results than doing it the wrong way.
Easy does it:
Try to remember you're not polishing a car here. Facial skin can be pretty delicate, and susceptible to irritation and inflammation if you go all HAM on it. Move in small, gentle, circular strokes; letting the scrubbing particles do their job. Apply less pressure than you think you need to.
Use pre-shave:
Exfoliating prior to shaving is best practice. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, dirt, and toxins from the skin and pores; facilitating a closer, cleaner shave. I don't recommend using a facial scrub after shaving. Freshly shaved skin is usually quite sensitive, and often times nicked in a few places. I imagine going at it with exfoliating particles in this state would be like pouring salt in a wound.
Moisturize afterwards:
So you just exfoliated your face of dead skin, dirt, toxins and guess what else? Moisture. It's important to use a good facial moisturizer every day, but it's crucial to use one after exfoliating and shaving. Since freshly exfoliated and shaved skin is sensitive, and more prone to sun damage; I recommend using a lotion that contains SPF protection. Check out my list of 10 best face moisturizers with SPF.
I hope my list of best exfoliators for ingrown hairs provided some valuable insight. I'd like to hear from you. If you have a personal experience with any of these exfoliators, or just have a question or comment, hit me up down below.

If you've struggled making money pursuing what you love, the tips in this article will help you overcome those roadblocks.
Whether you're a painter or a musician, I'll show you how to build a website and an email list to start winning fans who actually want to buy your work.
And I'm going to break down the process for you, step-by-step.
Check this out:
Why You Should Create an Email List and Where To Start
Building an email list might seem like a boring thing to do, but you may not know that email marketing has the highest return of investment of ANY marketing channel.
But to create an email list, you're going to need a website and a unique email domain.
Why is this important?
I want you to look as credible as possible so you can establish yourself as an artistic leader in your niche.
The Truth About Creating Your Own Website
This is going to cost some money, and I know there are free options out there. So why pay at all?
Two reasons:
- You will have full control of your site name instead of sharing something like wordpress.com. This looks unprofessional compared to yourname.com
- You will have invested money in the website, which will give you a psychological push to build on these first steps you're taking.
With that said, let's keep it real. I don't want you to pay too much for this. If you're going to Starbucks 2-3 times a month, running your website should be affordable.
To get started, I recommend Wix because it is less technically involved than WordPress. Here are the steps to get started:
Once you've done that, let's move on to the next step.
How I Get Great Marketing Copy On My Website Without Being A Marketer
The huge error most artists make is that they assume their art is all about them.
This is the truth about creating art:
It's about the people, your audience! To make that resonate, you want to write web copy that resonates with those people.
Spend some time thinking about who follows your art at this time. What do they excited about? Where do they live? How old are they? How much do they make on an annual basis? How do they feel about the President?
The more specific your questions, the better.
Next, use Donald Miller's brand script to fill in the details of your site.
Here's the deal:
I'm making a HUGE simplification by giving you this guide. But it's enough to get us started.
Just like the chords of a good song make us expect to hear a V-I resolution at some point, good stories resonate with us because they have a familiar script. That PDF I just shared with you is that script.
So go ahead and fill it out the best you can with special emphasis on the character (your target audience), their problems, and your plan to help them.
Ultimately, your art takes your audience from the pain of everyday life and transports them to a better place. You get define where that is.
Once you realize this, you have the framework to start writing your site copy.
Don't worry about selling your art yet. I'll share more about that soon.
Custom Email: Your Ultimate Cool Factor
Let's be honest, using firstname.lastname@example.com looks a lot cooler than a gmail account.
Getting a G Suite Plan will cost an extra $6 / monthly to use, and the cost is TOTALLY cheaper than that fancy vegetarian bean wrap I just ate at Starbucks.
So go ahead and sign up. You'll be all set to take the next steps for building out your email list.
How to Build Your Email List from Just Your Dear Aunt Sally to Dozens and Hundreds of People
When building and communicating with your fan base, email lists are solid gold. They are THE way to build wealth via the Internet.
I'm not going to lie to you…
Actually BUILDING your email list is the hardest part of this process. In this section, I'm going to show you 2 direct strategies you can use to build out your website.
Here's My #1 Takeaway Lesson: Direct Conversions
Take a form to your concerts or exhibits and ask people to share their emails.
To go old school, I've created a form that you can use here to print off: Artist Email List
Next, document your event. Have a friend take pictures of it. Take a selfie with some fans. Record the music.
Here's what to say at the end:
Hey everyone, thank you so much for coming to my event. I've started an email list to keep you in touch with what I'm up to. You can find it on the way out. I've also been taking pictures and recording moments from this evening, so if you sign up tonight, I'll send you the best pictures. Thank you for coming!
Step #2: Offer a Signup Sheet
Wix offers a free and easy way to get subscribers with their app.
Wix Get Subscribers Overview | WIX App Market | Wix.com
You can install this directly on your website so that visitors can sign up.
A couple things to keep in mind:
- No one cares about your email list
- No one cares about your email list
- No one cares about your email list
Why? Because we're all getting spammed, all the time. Companies drown us in their newsletters with products we mostly don't want to buy.
When companies don't understand our needs, we hit that unsubscribe faster than the President can tweet about fake news.
So what's the solution?
You want to offer something in exchange for that precious email address.
You can fill in your signup form with the following content:
Get news about my art
Get a free [YOUR ART] in return
Email Address
Join Now
Also, take the time to add a "No, thanks" button below "Join Now" on your signup form that has humor or sarcasm in it.
Something like "No thanks, I'd prefer not to get good art" should make the point clear.
With a signup form and old school paper strategy for your events, this should be enough to get you off the ground.
How to Convert an Email List into a Group of Raving Fans that Beg to Give You their Money
The next steps to take involve emailing the people that follow you about all the cool stuff you're doing.
Here's the deal:
Everything operates on the law of reciprocity. Once you provide enough value to your fans, they will feel compelled to invest in what you have to offer.
Let's get started.
The Secret to Making People Feel Valued
Don't be afraid to ask your audience for their opinions about how to present your work better.
For a small email list of less than 100 users, a good question to ask would be what kind of venues they want to see you perform in with some specific options to choose from.
As you get to know your Buyer Persona, consider asking "What are two things musicians absolutely need to get better at doing during their concerts?"
SurveyMonkey is currently a good (free) option for making a survey.
A Good Email List Should Entertain and Help Your Audience
Respect the people you contact by treating every email you send as an opportunity to build relationship.
The first step is to create free content. This will involve social media like Twitter, SoundCloud for musicians, and Instagram for artists. There are lots of other places to invest, but these three platforms give you a place to start.
I know this has nothing to do with your email list, but you can point these social media platforms to your website where users can join your email list.
When you do email, be willing to share about your life.
Always use your stories to remember that you are there to serve your audience. Love and adore those people because they are the ones that give meaning to your creativity.
Treat Your Email List Like Your Own Personal News Agency
At this point, your digital life has just begun. Your job now is to make sure people can easily discover what you're working on.
If you have a concert or an exhibition, tell your email list. If you're publishing a vlog, tell your email list. If you're on iTunes, sell a t-shirt, or have a signed piece of art, tell your email list.
If you'd like to learn more about the techniques for promoting your work, check out Chapter 10 of my book Ready Set Go: Life Hacks for Young Musicians.
And that's my guide to building your own fan club.
Now I want to turn it over to you: what did you think about these strategies? Or maybe there's something I missed.
Let me know by leaving a comment below.
That's all I have for this post. You made it to the end!
