We need to talk about something that no one seems to talk about. 

It's something near and dear to the health and comfort of our husbands, sons, even our brothers technically but sorry Bro, you're on your own in this department. 

I'm talking about underwear. 

As someone who usually ends up buying the men's underwear (and not wearing it) for my household, I just grab the biggest, cheapest bulk pack of colors that don't offend me and of a quality that also doesn't offend me. Style? Boxer briefs. OBVIOUSLY. 

Enter Cariloha. You might remember them from the amazing bath sheet I reviewed. They do bamboo. They do bamboo very, very well. 

These boxer briefs are no exception. Dare I say, they are the most comfortable boxer briefs I've ever bought. Not for myself, but if I had the foresight I'd have got a pair without the fly opening for myself. (Then again I'm eyeing those fitted capris on their site for running, which I apparently do now.)

They are breathable, super soft bamboo so they wash well, the color is beautiful and doesn't get that white halo that cotton and other fabrics can get. Bamboo also discourages bacterial/microbial growth, so if stink is an issue, these may help out a lot. 

In fact, they are so comfortable that my husband actually changed into them to relax in a robe and these undies at the end of a long day. They are great, Check out Cariloha on their website and on Amazon. I'm seriously thinking of getting those capris as a reward for either hitting a weight goal or finishing this Arbonne cleanse thing. Hmmm......

Wine Eccentric Wine Aerating Pourer- REVIEW

Hello!!
So I was offered a discount (or free product) in exchange for an honest review of this Wine Eccentric Wine Aerating Pourer.http://amzn.to/24W1hso

I make wine. I drink wine. I still sort of hesitate to say I "love" wine, because then I'm given wines that I don't like at all.
Like most white wines. And most roses. I do like many/most/practically all red wine though, so aeration is a part of my real life.
Sadly, so is losing, leaving behind and breaking aerators.
This aerator comes in a very nice case that makes it appropriate for gift-giving for the person in your life who is into wine (or maybe just always serves it in less than ideal conditions).
Also, it works. It made this weird chicken rose palatable to me, where as normally I'd prefer to be sober.
(Yes I finished the bottle before sitting down to write this review. Also, it's 13% which is high for wine. Don't judge me.)
In all seriousness, this little aerator is very fancy looking, it's "food grade" acrylic, but it sparkles like glass. It makes every pour more satisfying, since it looks, sounds, and tastes better. The design of the spout also helps keep the wine off of your tablecloth (or table. Or your kid's Minnie Mouse placemat, whatever).

There's not much more I can say about it, it looks great and does it's job. Anything less and I'd be unsatisfied; anything more and I'd be concerned. (Seriously, what else would you want an aerator to do??)
All in all, five out of five stars!
That's all I have to say, but if you want to check out the video (I might have done the voice over right after drinking the wine....) you can check it out over on my YouTube page here.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Best. Towel. Ever. -Cariloha - Bamboo Bath Sheet Towels - Review

Okay, so technically it's not a towel. It's a bath sheet. What is a bath sheet? It's a giant, luxurious towel.

 I was offered a discount in exchange for an honest review for a bamboo bath sheet so of course I jumped at the chance!

Here's what Cariloha says about their bath sheets:

Finding quality bath towels that combine luxury softness and bacterial resistance into one amazing towel can be hard to come by, especially at an affordable price. Our earth-friendly bamboo towels are just the answer. They are luxuriously plush, hypoallergenic and snag resistant. Made from a blend of renewable bamboo and cotton, Cariloha towels are perfect for home, gym, car, pool or spa.

• Dimensions: 40" x 70" 
• Extra-smooth, slightly twisted bamboo yarn is loomed perfectly to 600 grams per square meter and features an infusion of special silicon softener, resulting in an even softer, finer hand for increased bamboo-soft comfort. 
• Cariloha bamboo towel are optimized for softness, weight and plushness - not too thin and not too thick - just right. 

I agree!

It arrived quickly (even without Prime shipping) and I was surprised by how massive it is! At a whopping 40" x 60", this bath sheet is big enough for even the tall folks out there. In fact, my husband tried to claim it as soon as he felt it.

For me, it's like being a little kid again, back when the towel wrapped around twice. Only it's better, because this towel is soft, absorbent, and hypoallergenic.

When I say soft, I mean it is ridiculously soft. It's made from viscose from bamboo, which is often used as a silk substitute since it has a similar drape, softness and sheen. (It even burns similarly if you're a fiber fanatic like me and haven't yet had to tell silk from fake silk.) It's also made from Turkish-combed cotton which is deliciously soft and amazingly absorbent itself.

 Fiber content doesn't directly correlate to the quality and feel of the fiber or the finished product, but this towel is better than what even I hoped for from the blend.

 It's got a silky sheen without special care instructions, it's super plush without being "fuzzy", and it's super absorbent without that bad microfiber texture on naked skin. The color I got is Shoreline Grey which is a gorgeous shade of my favorite color (seriously, I've joked before that my closet is 50 shades of grey jersey). The color is gorgeous and rich and a little shiny (yes I know I've already mentioned the sheen).

 One or two of these would be a great gift for a graduation, a wedding, or a new baby. This massive, plush bath sheet screams "luxury" while also whispering "easy care". It would also be a great gift for yourself.
