A Lifestyle, Grooming And Technology Blog




I always find that buying some new kit is the best way of getting me motivated to hit the gym, especially if it's been a few months. Somehow a Netflix binge just seems like a much better way to spend a Sunday afternoon - just me?! 

Anyway I'm always much more excited to go for a run when i'm sporting a shiny new pair of Nikes or splashed out on a new pair of bluetooth headphones. Workout clothes don't need to be expensive or flashy, just have the right fit, style and fabric for you. Sometimes just a refreshed gym playlist can do the trick! Here's my top buys:

  1. Nike LunarGlide 7 running shoes
  2. Bose SoundSport in-ear headphones 
  3. Nike Run Camo Print T-Shirt
  4. Iffley Road Crew Neck Running T-Shirt
  5. Athletic Propulsion Labs Jersey Running Shorts



What gets you motivated to hit the gym?


Etsy is one of my favourite sites for finding handmade products at great prices from independent retailers. Here's some of my favourite finds for this month. Full in-depth reviews of several of them on the way very shortly.


Apple Watch & iPhone Charging Stand 


I've been searching for a dock/stand for a while now that stores and charges my iPhone 6 as well as my Apple Watch. This stylish stand is made from solid wood and allows you to charge both devices simultaneously, plus at just £19 plus shipping it's a bargain too.

Leather Messenger Bag


This 100% leather bag is perfect for the office or for school. It includes numerous compartments for storing documents, laptop and anything else you need! It also comes in a variety of sizes from 10 - 18 inches so there's something to suit everyone. Yet another steal from just £24 plus shipping.

I don't know why but I love massive vintage clocks! This one is originally from the 1970s and is 36cm in diameter. Perfect for an office or lounge wall. Ships worldwide from Ukraine.

Aztec colourful socks

What's on your August playlist?




Here's my top picks for the perfect city break. All chosen from MR PORTER. I'm loving the chino shorts by AMI teamed with this navy cotton pique Maison Kitsuné polo.

Keep all the travel essentials with you whilst exploring with the stylish Yoshida & Co. backpack. They are made in a specialist workshop in Japan and crafted from durable blue canvas.
