It's kind of just a cup but...

My workspace, much like my brain on a Monday morning, used to be a glorious mess. Pens scattered like fallen soldiers, highlighters playing hide-and-seek under notebooks, and rulers performing acrobatic feats off the edge of the desk. I'd tried various solutions – mugs, small baskets, even just piling everything precariously – but nothing quite clicked. My desk needed something that was not only functional but also aligned with the minimalist, quality-over-quantity aesthetic I appreciate.

Ya gotta getta 'cotta

As I get older, I find myself looking for moods or vibes. Whether it's in the way I organize my things or just the way something looks or smells, I'm focused on moments and experiences (maybe even when they shouldn't be!).

Put this on your radar

As a car enthusiast (I actually just got some new wheels today!), I love the gadgets that I'd never heard of and don't need. But, sometimes one comes along and I realize I did need it, I just never knew I needed it. And living in the Los Angeles area, this one was worth it.

Powered on the go

Powered on the go

When we travel, the last thing we want to worry about is bringing one more device, one more cord, one more cord for that one more device. But, hear me out. This one is worth it... and you barely need any space for it.

Trickling tranquility

Trickling tranquility

Many people are into meditation or relaxation music (or both) to chill out at the end of the day -- or even to reduce stress during a trying day. I've tried 'em, they're not my thing.

If there's one thing we're known for around these parts it's our hair and skin. And that skin has seen its share of needles to maintain our famous plastic Hollywood faces!

Wake up and Hatch a sleep plan

Wake up and Hatch a sleep plan

Let's talk sleep. With everything that's happening in the world, more and more people are saying it's hard for them to sleep... or blink... or stop shaking! But in all seriousness, studies show sleep is one of the most important parts of our day.

Stacked travel pack on your back

Stacked travel pack on your back

Road trips are a time many of us grab a bag, load it up and go wherever the breeze takes us. But, do you use a gym bag, a school backpack, a small suitcase or even a laundry bag?

A touch of magic on display

A touch of magic on display

If there's one thing required for being a Buff Boy, it's versatility. Why? Because Buff Loft is not only where we live, it's also an office space. So, our work can be done in the kitchen, on the deck in the backyard or even -- dare I say it -- in bed. Plus, our parent company is in the broadcasting biz so when they come to town from Canada to cover Hollywood events, we get kicked out of the loft and shuttled off to a hotel to give them the workspace. Meaning: we have to be very mobile all the time.

Can rubbing this really stop a headache?

Ugh, headaches. I used to get them a lot when I was in school. They went away for years but now, for some reason, by the end of the day, sometimes, I get them again.

As someone who's often double-fisting phones (my own, and on the days I'm tasked with monitoring the Buff phone), it's a constant pain to keep monitoring battery levels so I'm not running low without a charger when I'm out and about.

Curl, lift, pump, grunt, repeat

You'd think as Buff Boys we'd focus a lot of time on hair and fitness products. Well, actually, I guess we kinda do. Never mind. I thought it was going to be a more creative introduction. Fail. (Cut me some slack, I'm new at this writing thing!)

A churning yearning

A churning yearning

A few years ago, after countless disappointing attempts with makeshift methods and a growing craving for gourmet gelato, I decided it was time to invest in a dedicated ice cream maker. After much research and reading countless reviews, I settled on a popular and highly rated model: the Cuisinart ICE-21 Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker.

Do 'smart glasses' make you look stupid?

As someone who’s always been fascinated by the intersection of fashion and technology, the idea of smart glasses has captivated me for years. (Mostly I wondered if they're necessary or just something to entertain the nerd world.)

For years, I’d heard the buzz about air fryers, but I was skeptical. Could a countertop appliance really deliver that satisfying crunch without all the oil and fuss of deep-frying? I envisioned yet another gadget gathering dust on the counter.

As a Los Angeles-area resident, I've grown to dread driving in the city. The congested roads, endless traffic jams and parking nightmares have made me a reluctant driver. And, public transit: not a chance.

This does your body good...night sleep!

As someone who is perpetually hot (you've seen me -- you know!), especially at night, finding a body pillow that doesn't turn into a personal furnace has been a lifelong quest -- especially here in West Hollywood. Enter the Plufl Hugl Cooling Body Pillow, promising comfort and temperature regulation in one big, cuddly package.

Let me be completely honest upfront: I don't clean. We're kind of spoiled living in Buff Loft because there is a cleaning person. Having said that, there are times when spills happen and, of course, we often have the boss's two dogs here so there is minor clean-up now and then.

I'll admit I'm not the biggest techie. In fact, if I could just keep all of the current technology I have now and never upgrade, I'd be just fine with that. Alas, that's not the world we live in.

If it's not hair or dimples, Buff Boys are obsessed with fitness. (Go figure, right?) When we were offered a Etekcity HR Smart Fitness Scale it was a no brainer.
