    Herschel Supply Co. | Carry On

    I’ve been doing a lot of flying via the no-fun, no beverage, no leg room, and most notable…no carry-on airline, known as Spirit lately. If you haven’t heard, Spirit is charging extra for any carry-on bag that doesn’t fit under the seat in front of you, which doesn’t leave room for much. If you’re a frequent bargain traveler (Read: cheap ass) like me, check out Herschel Supply Co., they make some very simple, stylish and inexpensive bags that you won’t mind stuffing under the seat.

    Or, if your destination allows…just fly JetBlue.

    Musk Up

    In the world of fragrance you have your designer fragrances (which are cheap ways for brands to do very little work and make a lot of money), celebrity fragrances (which are cheap ways for no-talent ass clowns to do very little work and make a lot of money), and fragrances made by companies who have been around for centuries and actually know what they’re doing. Falling under the later category is Kiehl’s and their Original Musk scent.

    Kiehl’s Original Musk oil is believed to have been created in the 1920s at the “Kiehl Apothecary.” Discovered there in a vat labeled “Love Oil” in the late 1950s, Kiehl’s signature scent was reintroduced in 1963.

    “60 percent of the time it works every time.”

    Makr Carry Goods | Card Cases

    Images pulled from Hypebeast.

    When you fold something in half, it becomes twice as thick. Why would you want something that you put in your pants to be twice as thick as it needs to be? (insert penis joke here). What I’m trying to get at is that a card case is a much better choice than a billfold when it comes to purchasing a wallet.

    Makr Carry Goods produces some of the best, most finely crafted card cases (and bags…and key chains…and ipad cases) on the market right now. All workshop-crafted items are made entirely at Makr’s studio by founder, Jason Gregory, and other local artisans in the unexpected locale of Orlando, FL, while some of their other pieces are designed in studio and manufactured just a short drive away at a family-owned and operated factory.

    Carry your goods in style.
