19 Personal Care Products I Use or Like

Image
A few years ago, I  wrote a long post listing cosmetics, soaps, and other personal products made with healthy, non-toxic ingredients . It’s a sad thing when you basically have to assume the worst about the average product designed to be slathered all over the largest organ of your body—your skin . But that’s the situation in which we find ourselves now. Today’s post is an update of sorts. What products am I using? Which ones have I used? And are there any others that I can safely recommend? It won’t be as comprehensive as the last one. It will be more personal. In fact, let’s just go through an average day and week of personal product use. I’m pretty spartan, as you’ll see. I’ll also include other products I like (but might not always use) where applicable. I wake up and brush my teeth. I don’t use toothpaste usually, just a swish of hydrogen peroxide while brushing . For guests and those times I do feel like toothpaste, I’ll use something like Squigle Tooth Builder or Claybrite

Monday In Meals (When I Didn’t Food Prep)

Hi, guys! Happy Hump Day! Here’s the next edition of Monday In Meals , which just happens to be a “special” edition because I didn’t have much food prepped and ready to go this week. I was out-of-town and didn’t get my act together until late in the day on Monday… well, yesterday… sort of. I’m leaving for San Diego tomorrow afternoon, so I only did a little prep because I’m fairly positive Mal and Quinn will order food/wing it/not eat while I’m away. Anyway, here’s a recap of what I ate throughout the day on Monday when I didn’t meal prep. I also include some staples that I like to have in my kitchen when I’m unprepared and need a healthy meal ASAP! Would love to hear your favorites, too! Breakfast : Scrambled eggs with leftover broccoli rice + iced coffee mixed with Dandy Blend , coconut creamer, and collagen  + half of a glazed donut Snack : Bread from Not Your Average Joe’s with dipping oil Lunch : Thinly-sliced beef  with bacon, roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli florets, an

Can’t We All Just Get Along? Our Strength Programs Are Not Very Different

Written By: Kevin Cann I was having a conversation with some of my co-workers, teammates, and training partners at Total Performance Sports last week. All of my training partners are multi-ply powerlifters that follow some type of Westside Barbell program. If you have not heard of Westside Barbell, a simple Google search will show a lot. There is even a documentary titled “Westside vs the World” coming to theaters. This gym is home to some of the strongest men and women to ever step foot onto a platform. Even with this success, they still have enough haters out there that they feel they need to a title a documentary “Westside vs the World.” I am a raw powerlifter that is coached by Boris Sheiko. Boris Sheiko is known for his success as a powerlifting coach in Russia, accumulating over 40 gold medals in the sport. His programs are well known for the high total amounts of volume in the competition lifts and competition lift variations. One of the coaches was describing the differenc
