The company that convinced me to use one laundry sheet for my washing machine and dryer is at it again. This time Purex is reinventing fabric softener by ditching the traditional liquid for crystals!?!

Whipped Lightning is the world's first alcohol-infused whipped cream. Yes, you read that correctly--alcohol-infused whipped cream.

This Ain't Your Grandma's Whipped Cream
The majority of Whipped Lightning's nine flavors are 36.5 proof--which translates into 18.25% alcohol. There is more alcohol in this can of cream than most beers and wine combined! Plus, Whipped Lightning requires no refrigeration (the cold will actually cau...

I can’t really pinpoint exactly when it happened, but gentlemen, it is no longer OK to be that unshaven, ungroomed, sloppily dressed “man” that we used to be. If you want to get some play in today’s market—you better take care of yourself in more ways than one.

Next time you’re in any type of store that sells hygiene products—take a look around—there a...

I think I’ve been shaving for close to 25 years now as we Italians tend to crack out the razor at a very young age. My five o’clock shadow is more like nightfall at noon and it is as coarse as steel wool. For the better part of my shaving life, I have tried a plethora of razors and never tried using an electric shaver until 10 years ago. That’s when I got a job at Panasonic and had access to a host of Panasonic electric shavers and even some of their co...

Back in the day, Mars Blackmon (aka Spike Lee) couldn’t have said it better when he uttered the catch-phrase of the late 80s, “It’s gotta be the shoes.” I really didn’t think that a pair of sneakers would make any difference when running until I received a pair of Gel-Evolution 5 (GE5) running shoes from Asics to test out.

The Hangover Cure

I first heard of The Hangover Cure (THC) a few months back when one of my readers posted a link on the Ranu's Reviews' Facebook Fan Page and suggested that I give it a review. Th...

After completing an extensive study on men's body wash, the last thing I wanted to review was more frigging body wash. However, I won a free bottle of the stuff off of Twitter so I figured that I'd return their generosity by reviewing their product. By the time the PR firm that sent me the swag gets to the end of this review they'd probably wish that they selected another dork from their 78 followers.

I'll be the first to admit that I am a beginner at best in the world of running, but when it comes to perspiration--I am a consummate professional. It really doesn't take much for me to sweat buckets. After an intense workout, my clothes make me look like I just fell off the Titanic instead of a treadmill.

In a short time I have learned that your average cotton T-shirt and long-ass baske...

I have to admit that I was extremely hesitant to shell out $6.99 for a Purex product--especially one that promises to clean, soften and rid my clothes of static cling. Amazing how fast a sale at Shoprite coupled with a manufacturer's coupon helped ease my fears.

Now I have been surround...
