I’ll admit it. I’m a hairy guy. More hair than I would like. Some of it is manageable (arm pit, chest, arm) and some is not (nether regions, back, neck). When you have a partner (or really good friend), manscaping those hard to reach places is less of a hassle, but when you’re single it’s up to you to trim the hedges.

I don’t really mind the hair on my chest, but I can’t stand the limited hair on my back. A couple of years ago I tried laser hair removal, which worked to some degree, but it was expensive, it hurt, and I probably need about 3-4 more sessions to get the results I want.

An easier approach is to use a razor or an electric trimmer. I’ve tried both.

Razors get real close, but it’s really difficult to reach the middle of your back, and going anywhere between the legs with a razor blade makes me nervous, so I sometimes do my shoulders and neck with a blade, but usually save those for the face.

Now that Fall has arrived, so has fall fashion- but you mustn’t forget about your bathroom sink and the effects that the changes in temperature will have on your skin. Not only that, but countless holiday parties and winter activities are around the corner and you want to be ahead of the game.

Before I get into my recommendation for your fall tune up to your grooming regime, I want to make sure you’re following the basic system you should be following year round. You should be cleansing your face morning and night every day, with a cleanser to emulsify dirt & oil from the surface of the skin. By using a gentle cleanser instead of harsh soaps, you will avoid stripping the natural protective oils on your skin. Also, every day, morning and night, you should also be moisturizing your face to protect, nourish, and hydrate the skin in order to keep your skin looking at its best. Moisturizers are necessary, even for people with oily skin – just get the right moisturizer for your skin type. For me, those are the absolute basic steps (assuming you’re also using a QUALITY shaving cream) you should all be doing. No more excuses. Once you graduate from that, you get to start using products for big boys, like eye creams that help to minimize dark circles and fine lines. Cool, huh?

Now, a few recommendations for your fall tune up…

Lip Balm

. Listen chaps, nobody wants to talk to you, let alone kiss you when your lips are peeling. Unless your significant other likes smooching with sandpaper and you happen to like the feeling of your lips tearing apart whenever you smile, protect your bloody lips! Solution: Men’s Health 2009 Grooming Award Winner for Best Lip Treatment – Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm (Lemon & Chamomile) SPF 25. This is not one of those chap sticks that don’t work, yet you still keep on reapplying and reapplying. It works and it tastes great. In short, it’s the balm! PS: The BRAND Jack Black has no relation to the ACTOR, Jack Black.

I’ve heard that a lot lately. I used to say it all the time myself. And, a lot of people have been asking me for advice from me with respect to them starting a business (flattered by the way!).

Working for yourself is certainly very rewarding and needless to say it’s great being your own boss. You have no one to answer to but yourself, and the possibilities are endless. You don’t have to wait for the next position to become available for you to be eligible for a pay increase. You don’t (or shouldn’t) dread going into work on Monday. It is a completely different lifestyle than going into an office every day.

I’ve always been the entrepreneurial type. I get bored doing the same thing for an extended period of time, so the idea of working at a desk for someone else for the rest of my life makes me want to curl up into a ball and hide. When I started college, I was working three jobs to pay for my school: as a lifeguard/swimming instructor, restaurant manager, and ICBC Youth Ambassador. I couldn’t do just one thing. Eventually, I had to let one of them go so that I wouldn’t work myself to death. Actually, it worked out well because by the time I moved away to university in Victoria, I didn’t have to work anymore because I had been working as a summer student at Alcan (aluminum smelter plant) in the summers and I made enough money to more or less pay for the rest of my schooling.
