tiny toms
12/28/2011
Yes, there are finally toms for children and babies out. This picture might be un-called for I think it is hilarious. The baby toms are made out of the same stuff as the ones for the big kids, they are just made on a much smaller scale and have a strip of velcro across the top to help keep them secure. They retail for $29. Check them out by clicking here
glasses for $95 including lenses
12/27/2011
Yes it is true. One would think that it couldn't be in an economy like this but it is. Warby Parker a recent start up is selling glasses, that in my opinion are very stylish, for only $95 including lenses. Since there are only a few physical locations around the United States and they do not sell their glasses in any main stream retailers you will probably have to pick up your pair online, but have no fear, before you commit to buying a pair you can select five different styles that they will send you for a free at home trial. Great thought and great execution. Check out their site by clicking here.
icufflinks
6/22/2011
Inspired by Apple's ever-present aluminum power buttons, the iCufflinks ($130) are ready to add some Cupertino-style flair to your formal attire. These "open source" cufflinks are machined from 6 series aluminum, and thanks to a battery that screws inside the housing — along with a tiny circuit board and LED — they pulsate gently, subtly letting those around you know that not only do you mean business, but you might also be a robot.Source: Uncrate

You know that happy feeling you get inside when slipping on a pair of TOMS shoes, knowing that someone else less fortunate than you is doing the same thing thanks to your purchase? Now you can get that same rush when donning your sunglasses with TOMS Eyewear ($135-$145). Available in two Classic styles — the Wayfarer-like 101 and Aviator-like 301 — and a ton of different colors, you should find one to suit your style, and of course, TOMS will help give someone sight for each pair you buy, whether it's via medical treatment, prescription glasses, or sight-saving surgery.

As absurd as it sounds, we're not really surprised. Bacon Cologne ($36) includes just a hint of bacon essence in its Gold (citrus) and Classic (spicy maple) fragrances to give you all the allure of a cooked hog. It was bound to happen.

Dreadlocks FAQ
2/12/2011
What are dreadlocks? Dreadlocks are matted hair.
How long does my hair have to be to make dreadlocks?
Your hair should be at least three inches long to start dreadlocks.
Will my hair grow when I have dreadlocks?
Your hair will grow when you have dreadlocks, " it will seem like your hair is growing slower, but it isn't. The reason it seems like your hair is growing slower is because the hair is growing zig zag and dreadlocking.
What do I do when my hair grows? How do I dreadlock it?
You can use the clockwise rubbing method on the DreadHeadHQ site to make your roots dreadlock.
If I get dreadlocks and I don't like them will I have to shave my hair?
You do not have to shave your head when you want to t o out the dreadlocks you don't even have to cut your hair. Here are the ways to take dreadlocks out:
1. You can cut or shave your head if you don't care about your hair, this is the
fastest way to remove the dreadlocks.
2. Cut the deadlocks until they are about 3 inches long and then soak the rest of
the dreadlocks in VO5 conditioner and comb them out. This will leave you
with about 4 or 5 inches of hair.
3. You love your hair and want to keep it. Just soak the dreadlocks in VO5
conditioner and comb them out, it may take a couple hours but you will get to
keep your hair. Don't worry if you lose a lot of hair while you are combing
the dreadlocks out, this is hair that would have fallen out in the day-to-day hair
removal cycle. The only reason you still have it is because you had dreadlocks
and dreadlocks keep the hair all knotted together.
Can I dreadlock my hair myself?
You can dreadlock your hair yourself using the backcombing, twist & rip, twist & pin, twisting, brush rubbing, dread braiding, and neglect methods.
What are natural dreadlocks?
Natural dreadlocks are dreadlocks made without the use of harsh chemicals.
What are the different methods you can make natural dreadlocks?
Backcombing
Twist and Rip
Twist and Pin
Twisting
Brush Rubbing
Dread Braiding
Neglect
How long until the dreadlocks look like dreadlocks?
The dreads will look like dreadlocks after you make them if you use the backcombing, twist and rip, twist and pin, twisting, or brush rubbing method. It will take about 3-6 months for the dreads to lock up completely with these methods. The dreads will look like dreads in about a year with the dread braiding and neglect method, and they will lock up at about the same time.
Can I wash my dreadlocks?
Yes, you can wash your dreadlocks. You should wash your dreadlocks at least once a week, but most people wash every three days. Make sure you use a residue free shampoo when you wash your dreads, it's the most important product you can use on your dreads. I recommend DreadHead residue free shampoo.
How often should I wash my dreadlocks?
You should get in the habit of washing your dreadlocks every three days, your dreadlocks will lock up fast and they will look and smell good at the same time. As long as you wash your dreads once a week you should be fine.
Do I have to stop washing my hair for a long time before I make dreadlocks?
No, actually you should wash your hair with residue free shampoo right before you make the dreadlocks and let you hair air dry.
Do I have to use a different shampoo when I have dreadlocks?
Yes, you need to use a shampoo that leaves no residues behind in your hair and removes residues that are in your hair. The reason using this kind of shampoo is so important when you have dreadlocks is because dreadlocks like to hold stuff. When you have normal hair the residues are free to fall out and fall out while you are brushing your hair, but when you have dreadlocks you don't brush your hair, and the hair isn't free to let the residues fall out. So the residues begin to build up, and after a while they can cause the dreadlocks to mold. The residues also lubricate the hair, so the knots can't tighten as much as they could if there were no residues there. I recommend DreadHead residue free shampoo.
Is wax good for dreadlocks?
Wax is great for dreadlocks, it helps moisturize them while holding together while they are new, and it is a great conditioner for older dreadlocks. I recommend DreadHead Wax.
Is Aloe good for dreadlocks?
Aloe is a good dread conditioner, but only use it as a dread conditioner, it can't hold new knots together at all.

Washing Vibram FiveFingers Shoes: 5-10 Minutes
5/08/2010
Some suggest washing your Vibrams in the washing machine and then letting them hand dry. While thats definitely a valid option, hand washing them is a better option. It’s much faster and efficient and it cleans them better than any washing machine could. Here are the steps to wash the Vibram FiveFingers shoes. As you can observe from this post it is super easy. It takes about 5-10 minutes depending how dirty and thorough you want to wash them.
1) Get Your Running Shoe Cleaning Supplies Out
2) Turn on the Warm Water and Pour a Small Amount of detergent In the Cap
3) Brush Your Vibram Five Fingers
Make sure you brush the inside with the toothbrush getting at each and every toe. This is one advantage in hand washing the shoe and using a toothbrush as opposed to just throwing them in the washing machine. You can get at places the machine wont. By doing this you will eliminate and potential for nasty foot odor until the next couple times your run in them.
4) Dry the Vibram Five Fingers Shoes
