Photo by Joseph Valo III

For this review I'm going to do something a little different to mix it up and review an amazing product that both men and women can use. And its called Pearl Polish Dual Action Body Oil and it can be found on www.anthony.com for $28.00 and they have some great incentives as well.. My girlfriend Sarah and I were talking and I was telling her about when I shave my skin is sensitive and breaks out if I shave every day. And she sent me this as a gift for my birthday and I was amazed by this amazing product.

Skin care is not only for women but for men as well. The skin is the largest organ that we have and if we don't take care of it it will make us look years older than we what we really are and have skin problems like ingrown hairs boils and other things. And both men and women have to take special care of their skin as well. And this amazing product will help do that.

Whats amazing about this product is that a portion of the proceeds are donated to help the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society  and this amazing product has never been tested on animals as well. Its clearly that this company is going well above and beyond and cares about animals and help the little kids and adults get the help they need with these problems.

Pearl Polish is a dual action body oil that you can use as a body wash and shave oil that reduces irritation, smooth shave and long lasting hydration. while leaving the skin silky smooth, and smelling great with the scent of Ginger, Lavender  and Vanilla. And this is gentle enough to use in the bikini area on women and the crotch area for the men as well. And to use this as a body wash just apply a small amount to a your body wash sponge and add water and lather up and wash.

When I tried it out, I have never used a shave oil before so I was a little leery. But that changed after I used it. I noticed that Ginger smell with the Vanilla, and believe it or not, the lavender actually help calm me down a little bit as well.  I shaved my facial area with it and it left my face silky smooth, hydrated, and there was no irritation as well. It was a smooth close shave too. As a body wash, my body felt clean, skin was smooth and hydrated. And I'm extremely happy with this shave oil/body wash.

Pros:  They donate a portion of the proceeds to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Animal cruelty free.  great quality product. Both men and women can use it. Hydrates the skin and leaves it silky smooth. Reduces irritation as well.

Cons: Must read the entire label and list of ingredients to check for allergies and directions for use.

In conclusion, Skin care is not just for women but also for men as well. this amazing product does what it says and it shows that the company takes pride in its products too. I would recommend this product to anyone including friends and family and this would make an excellent gift as well.

Until next time, remember to look and read the whole label to check for allergies and so you know exactly what you are either putting on or in your bodies.

Product Disclosure: The said product above is a gift from my girlfriend.

Talking about health and wellness, I have talked about skincare and exercising but not having health shiny thick full hair. And today I will be talking about 2 great products that are 2 in 1. Pert Plus 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner Classic Cool and Pert Plus 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner thicker and fuller. Both products are amazing and do what they say. Pert shampoo and conditioner has been around for years. And is a house hold name as well.  My girlfriend Sarah and I were talking about my hair and what I use to get that thick and fullness. So I decided to do a review of Pert Plus shampoo and conditioner and Sarah went above and beyond and got me the 2 products for my birthday. So I'm going to review both of them.

Pert Plus 2 in 1 shampoo & conditioner thicker and fuller: The bottle has a cool wavy shape to it and if you put both bottles together they fit together as well. Has a cool clean smell to it and is a dark pearlescent green color as well. Has caffeine in it for fine thinning hair. 

When I first tried it, it had a dark green pearlescent color with a cool clean smell as well. And it lathered up real nice and the great part about it is that I didnt have to use a conditioner afterwards as well. My hair came out clean thicker and fuller and great! 

Pros: Great quality products. Does what the product label says. Made my hair healthy and shiny and smooth. Cut down the water usage and shower time as well. Made my hair thicker and fuller too.

Cons: Must read the entire label to see if you are allergic to anything.

Pert Plus Classic Clean 2 in 1 shampoo & conditioner: This amazing shampoo and conditioner in one is for normal hair and it has a medium conditioner in it as well. The color is a light pearlescent green color with a clean shampoo smell. It is gentle for color treated hair as well.  

When I first tried the shampoo it had a light pearlescent green color with a clean shampoo smell and felt great as I could feel it working cleaning my hair, And I also love the fact that I didnt have to use a conditioner afterwards as well. After I dried my hair I notices that it was smooth and healthy looking as well. 

Pros: Great quality products. Does what the product label says. Made my hair healthy and shiny and smooth. Cut down the water usage and shower time as well.

Cons: Must read the entire label to see if you are allergic to anything.


Both of these amazing products do what they say and I am happy and pleased with them. I would recommend these amazing products for anyone who wants Silky Smooth, healthy, thicker and fuller hair. I would get these products as a gift for family and friends as well.  You can find these amazing products at http://www.pertplus.com/ and check out the other amazing products they have as well.

Joseph Abboud Men's Fragrance Review.

Photo by Joseph Valo III

My girlfriend Sarah and I were talking about men's cologne and she surprised me with this bottle of Joseph Abboud fragrance for my birthday. So, I'm doing something different and doing a fragrance review for men. And there will be more to come too.

I have chosen Joseph Abboud, because this is an amazing men's fragrance that you can wear for just that special occasion or every day. It would depend on the user at to their needs as well if they wanted to go and wear it every day or just on special occasions like a night out in the town with your girlfriend or when you propose to your girlfriend go out to the movies or dinner with your friends as well. What is unique about this cologne is that it has a Lavender note in it that has some what of a calming effect as well. 

When I sprayed it on my wrists I could smell immediately the top notes of  Bamboo and Citrus. Then I noticed after that, the  smell of Geranium, Sage and then the Lavender notes as well. And the the closing note is of a woodsy base to round out all the notes. I want to say that this amazing cologne had a calming effect on me because of the Lavender note in it. I want to say this as well a little goes a long way too. I'm very pleased with this fragrance and I know that you will too. 

Pros: Great smelling. You can use it for special occasions or every day depending on the person. The Lavender note in it has a calming effect.  Use of quality products.

Cons: Do NOT use near open flame due to alcohol content!

I would recommend this amazing cologne to any man, friends and family that want to smell great and have that calming effect as well. A 1.7 oz bottle of this amazing fragrance retails for $50.00 on Joseph Abboud website  and also exclusively on Men's Wearhouse website too.

In closing Joseph Abbound is an amazing cologne that one can appreciate due to it's blend. Its not too strong and its not too weak either.And a little goes a long way too.  

Until next time, Pay it forward and always better yourself by helping someone else.

Fuel:One Rich Chocolate Isolate Build Review

Photo by Joseph Valo III

Earlier this year I did a review on the Fuel:One Isolate Build. I got the the Fuel:One Isolate Build Rich Chocolate flavor a month ago and it has been a while since I did a protein review too. So this is a perfect time to do one. So I'm reviewing the Fuel:One Isolate Build Rich Chocolate flavor. Fuel:One has been out for just about a year and the product line has came a long way since Fuel:One has came out with this product line! I have tried a lot of different companies and I can tell you this, that Fuel:One takes great pride in their products, and use the highest quality products in their supplements. 

When it comes down to choosing the right protein supplement there are a lot of things to consider like; does it taste good, does it mix good with a shaker cup, what are the ingredients in it and how much ingredients is in there, and are you allergic to anything in it and what kind of protein is in there as well.

This is some of the ingredients that Fuel:One has in their Isolate Build protein powder.
Isolate Build is 100% pure protein isolate. 20 grams of 4 different protein isolates (Hydrolyzed Beef Protein Isolate, 97% Whey Protein Isolate, Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate) branch chain amino acids,leucine and glutamine. 0 grams of fat and 0 grams of sugar to round things out. Also has a rapid amino acid absorption which is really awesome because you can take this right after you work out and your body can absorb the amino acids a lot quicker as well.

When I opened up the container it smelled great and when I mixed it in a blender for a smoothie it mixed really great and when I tried it in a shaker cup it still had clumps of the unmixed protein powder. This protein powder tasted ok but you can add things like strawberries and or peanut butter and yogurt to boost the amount of protein and make it taste better. What I really like about this product is that it's free of any banned substances.

Pros: This product has everything that you need to pack on muscle. Has a multi blend of different proteins. Has the BCAA's in it as well. It's free of banned substances too. Best mixes in a blender, but mixes well in a shaker cup.

Cons:  Read the ingredients and full label to see if you are allergic to anything in the product. And Has hydrolyzed beef protein and may not be for you if you are a vegetarian.

I would recommend this amazing product to family and friends that are not allergic to milk, soy, and is not a vegetarian. This product you can find on their website http://www.fuelone.com/ and you can find other Fuel:One supplements and multivitamins at GNC as well. 

Shop All Vitamins & Health Supplements at GNC.com!


In conclusion, this supplement is great and does what it says too. I see alot of great and amazing things for Fuel:One in the future.

Until next time, Pay it forward and remember to read the whole label before using the product!

Happy National Girlfriend Day!

Hey everyone. How are you? I didn't realize it was 'National Girlfriend Day' until I saw the trend #NationalGirlfriendDay on Twitter. I have to tell you, I have been blessed with the most breathtakingly beautiful, classy, loving, and caring woman in the universe. Her name is Sarah Afshar. You see, Sarah and I began our journey together 18 years ago. We met through mutual friends and hit it off instantly. After we went our separate ways, my life took a turn for the worse. I basically became a person that I knew I was not and just left myself go. Fast forward to about 15 years later, we decided that we not only thought we were soulmates, but knew it too, so we got back together.

The thing with Sarah is that our love, connection, bond, and everything else has grown extremely strong. We have something that I know many couples do not have. It is something so undying, true , pure and never ending. We have seen our fair shares of ups and downs, our highs and lows, and the greatest and not so great moments as well. To me, Sarah is more than just my best friend and lover, but my soul mate and everything else in between.

Every time I gaze in to Sarah's gorgeous chocolate diamond eyes, I am reminded of what I have and how lucky I am. Sarah puts me under you hypnotic spell and I get lost for weeks on end. We make the most perfect team and as a couple we bring out the greatness in each other, in every way possible.

There is never a moment that I don't think of Sarah because she is my love of my life. When I think of the girls I have dated in my past, looking back, I had no connection to them and never had any motivation or inspiration to do anything. I remember years ago, I took a girl on a date to McDonalds. I never tried because there was no connection and it was deja vu, especially when I lived in Texas.

With Sarah, it is the opposite. She is the epitome of what I want in a woman. She's perfect and to me, she is the total package. She gives me motivation and inspiration, and quite frankly, she brings out the greatness in me in every way possible. 

I just want to say this: Sarah Afshar, you are the greatest woman to ever come into my life, as you are the greatest person to enter it and I am very blessed, honored, thankful, and lucky to have you. I love you, Sarah Afshar <3 Happy National Girlfriend Day!
