Botot Toothpaste

Nobody wants stank breath. Botot toothpaste, the world’s first toothpaste, will make that breath smell better and lessen the effects of the gallons of coffee and red wine we all drink.


Garmin 405 Watch

The Garmin 405 watch will be a nice compliment to your (hopefully) daily workout. It has a GPS for when you get lost no your run/ride and a heartrate monitor to let you know when you’re working too hard - a techy’s dream watch.


Verdier Van

Volkswagon has made my dreams come true with the Verdier Van. What a perfect traveling vehicle. Just wish there was a place for a toilet. You better believe I’ve requested to be on the waiting list.

Barchino by Bottega Montana

I’m in love with the Bottega Montana skateboards, more specifically the Barchino. These hand crafted boards are especially beautiful; it’d be hard to ride them.

Sailing School

These sailing schools located in Florida, New York, New Jersey and Virginia look like an awesome trip to take. I’ve never been sailing, but would love to learn. Maybe early fall I’ll make an east coast trip and book one. Time to shop at Vineyard Vines some more!


HI-LIGHT

Check out this awesome hanging light called the HI-LIGHT. I think this would make a great addition to a loft or to a home that needed a bit of funk. I’ve always thought graffiti is art, and this proves my point. Now, if I can only find an artist to tag something on the wall [...]

G-Star Raw Cannondale

I have found my dream bike. This collaboration between G-Star and Cannondale pretty much is everything I could want in a bike right now. The only problem is that it’s highly doubtful I can get it. It’s likely sold out (only 500 produced in March). Not to mention I don’t have good luck with bikes; [...]
