Actual Male Style Trends You Won't Believe

Did you know that male grooming is now a 50bn dollar industry? That’s crazy and closely rivals the hair and beauty industry for women. It’s not surprising though because with every passing year the rules change a little more. The double standard where women have to be well groomed and guys can look a mess is slowly going out of the window...sort of. Actually, there are some rather weird male grooming trends in the fashion world right now that are downright odd. But there are others that you might be a lot more interested in, particularly if you’re tired of your man’s skin feeling like sandpaper or a well worn out carpet. So, without further ado let’s look at some of the weird and wonderful trends shaping the male grooming and style scene this year.


Looking Dirty Is Sexy?


Pic Credit


Apparently so, according to Mashable.com, male models have been sporting a rather odd look this year. They have walked the runway with dirty faces and it’s exactly as peculiar as it sounds. The male models had weird stained cheeks that looked like they had been down in the coal mines. Oddly enough that’s exactly the appearance designers were opting for and it wasn’t the only weird part of this fashion trend.


The models were also sporting greasy, oily, slick hair that looked very much like they hadn’t washed it in days. Actually, it had been carefully groomed to appear this way with a range of natural oils. So what exactly were the stylists trying to convey? Supposedly, the look is of a guy who has worked all day and clubbed all night. It’s oddly familiar to the weird Japanese trend from last year where people were trying to look both sleep deprived and hungover.


Clean Shaven In More Ways Than One?

There are plenty of girls who prefer guys that are clean shaven and look like they have just hopped out of the shower. Their hair should be immaculate, and they should be sporting a look of someone who has both youth and vigor. But what about taking things one step further. Should guys shave other parts of their bodies? Should men shave legs via 99centrazor.com. Believe it or not, this trend is growing in popularity and not just for Olympic swimmers who want to be a little faster in the pool. In fact, nearly half of the male population engage in some sort of leg grooming. Why? Well, it’s purely for aesthetic purposes. Some guys don’t like their legs looking too hairy, and some girls feel exactly the same way. We could definitely get on board with this fashion trend.


Winter Is Here

You may have heard about how certain baby names have grown in popularity since Game Of Thrones became an international phenomenon. Personally, we hope somewhere someone has been brave or humorous enough to call their little baby boy Joffrey, but we digress.  What we bet you didn’t know is that the popularity of the show has infected men’s style too. In fact, a lot of men are now favoring longer hair due to the heartthrob hero, Jon Snow. Let’s face it Kit Harrington does pull off the long hair look rather well although we doubt the same could be said for too many other men. Still, if you look around there is a noticeable increase in the number of men that are growing their hair to their shoulders. And it’s not the only change in style.


The beard has also become more popular. Thankfully, we’ve moved passed the obsession with the weirdly long hipster beard. Guys are instead favoring a shorter, shaved and distinguished facial covering. We’d bet good money this is another aspect of style that has come from Winterfell stylists.


A Little Less Muscle

Finally, men are starting to obsess less about the size of their muscles. It’s true, look around, and you won’t see that many guys who look like they’ve ingested horse steroids anymore. Instead, guys are favoring a less pronounced more subtle build of muscle. This trend has been growing recently, and we think it’s clear that the days of guys who look like clouds are nearly over. Even Dwayne Johnson is starting to reduce his size just a little to fit in with the modern trend.

As you can see then, there are plenty of male style trends to keep up with this year. If you want your boyfriend or husband to stay stylish, you might want to recommend a few of them to him. Just do yourself a favor and avoid the weird dirty face look fashion trend.

Tips to Keeping Your Counter Tops Looking Brand New

This is a sponsored post.

 PremierSurfaces.jpg
Image: Premier Surfaces


When friends of mine began sharing their love of building a home, a popular topic of conversation that would come up would be what type of counter
​ ​
tops they were going to use when they built their kitchen. I’ve noticed that over the years, granite counter​ ​ tops have become extremely popular but not just in the kitchen but bathrooms too! They require proper care and maintenance, which is a priority with any type of stone you chose, but also make your home look extremely inviting! Have you thought about how you keep your own granite counter tops looking as if they were just installed year after year? I have a few tips and tricks to help you!
                                ]
Wipe Down
While granite is a naturally occurring stone, most granite counters are covered with a sealer to help protect the surface from staining quickly when something is spilled on them. Part of your daily care of these counters is to wipe up the spills and quickly as you can! Be careful with those acidic foods and to not let them sit long on those counters! If the sealer on your countertop is gone, they can stain or etch themselves into the stone!

Dealing With Scratches
While daily wiping is a good idea, scratches can happen and easily with your countertops. My advice would be to use coasters when friends are over with their glasses or wine or sodas. If stains do happen and you didn’t have time to get to it there are some quick tips to help! Make sure to use a mile stone-safe cleaner to remove it otherwise you may have to call a professional to help ! If you think you wanted to try a DIY, try and test it on a spot that may not be as noticeable so you don’t hurt the granite even more. Resealing may be an option too to help prevent any further re-staining in the near future.

Cleaning Granite Properly
Because countertops are usually the ‘workhorse’ of your bathroom or kitchen, they need to be cleaned as often as possible. Do not use abrasive products on your granite because they can scratch the sealer if you rub hard enough! Similarly, don’t use homemade cleaners as well! Using an all neutral, pH-balanced cleaner for your stone countertops would be ideal. You can use either a cleaner specifically formulated to be safe on stone and granite, or if you want to use something homemade I suggest a mild dish soap and warm water. Make sure the dish soap you choose has no additional added cleaning agents that could make it more acidic or alkaline than normal, plus to avoid streaking use very little soap, and mostly water. If you've got soap scum buildup on your counters you need to make sure you use a pH neutral descaler to remove it (look for soap scum removers specifically formulated to be safe on stone).

Ultimate Guide to the Solar Eclipse


The solar eclipse is going to be an amazing event.  If you are in the path of totality, you will get to witness one of the most spectacular events this decade.  I have procured this list of resources that includes everything you need to know about the solar eclipse, from educational activities to watching live streams of the eclipse.


NASA Eclipse – great resource for a variety of information and activities


Solar Eclipse Across America – American Astronomical Society with many resources


American Astronomical Society – educational materials and additional links


Eclipse Simulator


Educational Resources for Eclipse


South Carolina State Library – provides instructional units


Watch Know Learn Organization – videos for solar eclipse


The Astronomical Society of the Pacific


Discovery Education – provides live viewing and other resources


Eclipse 2017 – educational resources
CNN Article:
TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE 2017:
HOW TO WATCH ON TV OR LIVE STREAM ONLINE IF YOU’RE NOT IN ITS PATH
BY STAV ZIV 
The excitement has been escalating as the August 21 total solar eclipse, also known as the Great American Eclipse, approaches. This event marks the first time since 1979 that such a celestial alignment will be visible from mainland U.S. The temporary darkness caused by the moon completely blocking the sun will pass through 14 states from Oregon to South Carolina. But for those who don’t live in the path of totality and can’t—or refuse to—get to it, there are a few other options.
Here are nine ways to watch online or on television:
NASA
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration will share several live streams and views of the eclipse on a page set up on its website. The agency will share images from nearly a dozen spacecraft, at least three aircraft, at least 50 high-altitude balloons and the International Space Station. NASA Television will air the multi-hour “Eclipse Across America: Through the Eyes of NASA” with coverage of events at parks, libraries, stadiums, festivals and museums.
The Weather Channel
The network has a live-programming takeover planned for the total solar eclipse. Meteorologists will document the event from five specific locations: Madras, Oregon; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; Carbondale, Illinois; Clemson, South Carolina; and Nashville, Tennessee. In addition, one correspondent will roam the southeastern strip of the eclipse shadow and another will report from the Royal Caribbean Total Eclipse Cruise. Coverage starts at 6 a.m. ET, and will include, not surprisingly, updates on the weather forecast and how certain conditions such as clouds and rain could impact visibility.
CNN and Volvo
The news network will be partnering with Volvo to live stream the event from Snake River Valley, Idaho; Beatrice, Nebraska; Blackwell, Missouri; and Charleston, South Carolina. They’ll share 360-degree video in 4K resolution and virtual reality. That means viewers can tune in on CNN's website, the CNN app on iOS and Android or via a virtual reality headset.
Slooh and TimeandDate.com
Watch on YouTube or on the Time and Date website starting at 11:30 a.m. ET for footage from various locations.
San Francisco Exploratorium
This science museum will partner with NASA to film the eclipse from two locations and live stream the footage online and on their free Android and iOS apps. In addition to live coverage in English and in Spanish, both of which will start at 1 p.m. ET, there will be telescope views from Oregon (starting at noon ET) and Wyoming (starting at 12:15 p.m. ET).
The museum also will present a “sonification” of the eclipse. Starting at 12:15 p.m. ET, the Kronos Quartet will use eclipse data coming in from Oregon and Wyoming to create a musical composition.
The Eclipse Ballooning Project
On the day of the eclipse, 55 teams of university and high school students as well as high-altitude ballooning groups will launch more than 100 balloons into the upper layers of the atmosphere along the path of totality. They’ll capture and stream live video from about 100,000 feet above the Earth.
Science Channel
The Science Channel will have a Facebook Live stream from Madras, Oregon. The channel also will premiere a one-hour special, “The Great American Eclipse,” at 9 p.m. ET.
Astronomy.com
The website will have an HD live stream of the total solar eclipse coming from Denver. David Brewer—a member of the Denver Astronomical Society and the Southern Cross Astronomical Society, and former vice president of the Central Florida Astronomical Society—will provide the feed using a Celestron EdgeHD 800 telescope and Sony A7RII mirrorless camera. Denver isn’t in the path of totality, but it will experience 92-percent coverage.
The Elephant Sanctuary
Those who are just as curious about animals as they are about the skies can watch a live stream from The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, home to elephants who have been retired from zoos and circuses. The sanctuary has 13 solar-powered, live-streaming HD ‘EleCams’ that allow viewers to observe the animals on a regular basis. The partial eclipse there will begin around noon and reach totality at 1:30 p.m. ET, and the sanctuary will be streaming the event on Facebook Live. Note that the cameras will go dark during totality.


I hope you have found the resources you need! Contact me if you have a resource and I will add it to the list!
