Mrs' Must-Haves
I love this massage oil. I have a bad (bad, bad) back so my husband is always trying to work on my knots and issues. This one smells great without being overwhelming and doesn't leave an oil slick behind to stain everything.
Arnica Sore Muscle Massage Oil
This is the ONLY hairbrush I use. I have long (and sometimes REALLY long) hair so detangling is critical without trashing my hair and causing any more split ends than I already have. This brush cuts through the knots gently. I have 4 of them scattere...
Wet Brush Detangler Hair Brush
This is my daily moisturizer for everything – face, hands, feet, arms, legs. No scent, super light and not greasy.
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion
I have one of these in every room, car, pocket and purse. I may or not not be terrible with hydration so my lips are always in need of moisture, especially during New England winters.
ChapStick Moisturizer Original Lip Balm
I love these! I used to use my fingers (I know!) to put on my makeup but these little beauties are amazing – a latex free for my friends with allergies
BEAKEY Makeup Sponge
So what if I'm not pregnant right now? These gummies so so dang yummy. I love taking one raspberry and one lemon for a raspberry lemonade flavor parade.
Amazon Basics Prenatal & DHA Gummies
I have been using Secret gel deodorant for a while. I switched form solids because they always left white stains on my shirts. I never get stains with the clear gels. I don't love floral scents so I gravitate towards fruitier scents like this coconut...
Secret Fresh Clear Gel Deodorant
I use this to help with my dandruff that pops up more often in the winter. I've used this ever since I was little. It can definitely be a bit sticky in the shower but it works great and loses most of the smell after the shower.
Therapeutic Coal Tar Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
Thick thighs = Chub rub. I love this lotion that turns to a dry powder. I hate the feeling of a sticky lotion the entire time, so I love that it dries to powder that lasts quite a while. This is my go-to on the rare occasion you catch me in a dress.
Fresh Breasts Anti-Chafing Lotion to Powder
This is my daily face wash. I often got breakouts but this has significantly reduced them overall. I also love that it does not have any fragrance.
Oil Free Acne Wash with Salicylic Acid
Nine's Must-Haves
Taking care of yourself, your skin and most importantly, your beard.
My hair grows FAST. These razors are great because when I was in the military I needed to shave often and shaving that much can cause a lot of irritation. These razors have always been great for me and help alleviate the major irritation I got with o...
Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razors
Hydration is super important for me so to make sure I drink enough I got a giant water bottle. It keeps things cold for long periods of time – I will have ice last 2 days in this – and the locking cap is great
ZULU Large Capacity Stainless Steel Water Bottle
This is my #1 hair gel. I have hair that is anything but straight – even as a guy. This hair gel has a strong odor initially but it holds really well and doesn't turn white and flake off my hair.
Let's Jam! Conditioning Extra Hold Hair Gel
My 90's is showing, but it still has a great scent.
AXE Body Wash for Men - Phoenix
Years in the service did a number to me, but this helps keep my hair and scalp on track. A couple drops once I've soaked my hair, let it set, and rinse it out. Super easy to add to any routine.
Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil
If you have a beard, no matter what length, you know it's important to take care of it and the skin underneath. This washes deep to the skin to keep the skin and beard happy and healthy.
King C. Gillette Men's Beard and Face Wash
I've never had straight hair, so when I do straighten it this gives it a layer of protection so it's not fried off before I'm 40.
Tresemme Protecting Heat Spray
Hands down my favorite scent. I love sandalwood, and this is a nice subtle scent that also gives you a nice soft beard. Plus, it comes in a variety of other scents.
Every Man Jack Beard Oil - Sandalwood
The Every Man Jack line of products are my go to anytime I have to leave the house. Pairing the deodorant with the beard oil just makes me feel fresh and ready to go.
Every Man Jack Deodorant
When I got out of the military and wanted to start growing my beard this was the kit I fell in love with. It has everything you need start to finish to take care of your beard, also in a variety of scents. This also makes a great gift for anyone in y...
Sandalwood Full Size Kit With Shaving Brush
You want to talk about versatility? This is it. Whether i'm trimming, shaping, or thinning there is an attachment for it. Other than a whole slew of different options, it holds a charge for a good long while. Plus it's super easy to switch between bl...
Philips Norelco Multigroom 7000 Face, Head and Body
Ok, so I got the short end of the stick with genetics. Those bags under my eyes were not on my “must-have” list. This on the other hand… I apply it once a week and BAM! bags reduced if not gone.
Empire Tech Instant Eye Lift
I spent 14+ years in boots and playing in dirt and sand. Needless to say my nails are just as rough as the work I did. Having a good pair of clippers is worth it. Plus, the two clippers come in a durable case, so losing them becomes a little trickier...
Hawatourr Ultra Sharp Nail Clippers Set
Add a little shave oil and this is my daily shave cream. Getting bang for my buck as it were. This is also what I used when I had to shave every day (sometimes twice) in the service, and it was great when I was deployed or in the field.
Gillette Foamy Men's Sensitive Shave Foam
Not gonna lie, I've been using this since high-school, and dread the day it gets discontinued. It's such a simple pleasant scent that goes on quick.
Old Spice Deodorant for Men - Pure Sport
When the Mrs' got this to try I was skeptical. After a few uses though it's now part of my daily routine. It's another great product that preps your skin for your other products. It's great for helping keep my pores clean and preventing folliculitis ...
COSRX Skin Booster Serum
Home health
This is a really simple product that uses counter pressure to hang in a doorframe. Time and money are things we don't all have for luxuries like a gym membership. This one device actually lets you do a full workout, from pullups to elevated pushup to...
Pull-Up Bar
A medicine ball is an underrated item that offers a new element to workouts. Not only can it improve standard workouts but it can also give alternative ways to do them. Best part? It comes in a variety of weights. So you don't have to be stuck at the...
Core-Weighted Medicine Ball
I know I don't have a whole lot of space to workout in. In fact a lot of my spaces are common spaces. So laying down on them isn't ideal, enter yoga mat. Looks great and provides some cushioning just in case you're working with wood or tile floors.
Gaiam Yoga Mat - 6mm
For those who don't know, I used to study martial arts with a little more time and focus than currently available to me. That being said, I got a heavy bag to practice at home. While I prefer to use hand wraps, gloves are just as effective, you'd be ...
Boxing Punching Bags | Everlast
As mentioned with the heavy bag, I prefer hand wraps. These are a super easy to use wrap and great to protect your knuckles from getting cut up when using the bag. Plus some super fun colors to match your style.
BEAST RAGE Hand Wraps
Remember doing jump in gym class back in the day? Well, I did not like it then, but when we did crossfit I found a new love for it. While I'm limited to doing it in the not winter months, I still really enjoy it.
