For over three years, the Altra Escalante Racers are still my favorite pair of daily runners. I tried the second generation and noted how much more refined and mature they’d become. But I didn’t like them as much as the first gen. Trying the Altra Solstice XT 3s, I was curious to see how they […]

How simple of a person are you? Or would you consider yourself a little extra? Whether you’re more basic or extravagant, we all start our style with the same basic pieces. A shirt and bottoms. As a basic dresser, I don’t like to accessorize. I just want a shirt and pants/shorts that I can do

How long is the longest you’ve gone without buying new socks? 1 year? 2? Longer than that? Now think of the day you finally purchased new socks. Was it not slightly life changing by how soft, luxurious, and yet comforting that new pair felt when you put them on? That’s exactly how Ketl’s Blackwood Trail

Shoes like the Altra Experience Wild 2 provide a level of comfort and flexibility that adds a level of calmness to a small trek outdoors. But that’s just it. I think trail shoes are better for shorter trips. Because the farther

I’ve been a fan of protein shakes since high school. You can make them with all sorts of consistencies and flavors, all while packing a whole bunch of protein into a meal. However, in my college years my go-to whey protein started to hurt my stomach. Fast forward a few more years and I’m so

Why is Spring and Fall weather as reliable as an old BMW? One day it’s 68°F, and the next is back down to 37°F. Or, the 10-day forecast shows partly cloudy weather for the entire week, and then you wake up two days later and it’s pouring rain. Seriously?! This back and forth isn’t exactly

I hope I’m not alone in saying that dress shirts are one of the least comfortable shirts men and women wear on a consistent basis. You can be going to church, work, or a classy dinner, and usually the worst part of those experiences are the dang collared shirts that are tight, restrictive, and just
