As part of a continuous effort to bring you a full line of all natural products, we’ll be sharing product development progress in our ‘Coming Soon’ series here on the blog. The past few months have been extremely busy in the lab and in the web development cage as we prepared to launch our online store. We’re happy to have the store up and running, but we will continue to work on it over the next…

A new direction: Hairly Basic

While doing the 365 days of beard challenge has been fun (I’m still going; day 206), I’ve realized that the beard market is being fed misinformation about how to properly care for and maintain a beard. I’ve been look at beard oils and balms for a long time trying to figure out what would be the best for my beard. I want something that will keep my beard healthy and encourage growth. Other…

Here are my selfies from day 57 through 76:

Day Number 56 - Shirley Temple #beard #beard365 #beards #yeard

The famous actress died on February 10, 2014. As a small tribute, we’re doing this post in memory of the 56 curls her mother put in her hair every day. Yes. 56. She made sure that Shirley had the exact number of curls with extreme prejudice. While most people see her as a child star, she actually went on with life and became a diplomat for the United States. She was also on the board of several…

Day Number 55 - How fast can I go? #beard #beards #beard365 #yeard

Between 1974 and 1986, drivers could never travel faster than 55 miles per hour in the United States. Apparently there was a national speed limit law that set the cap at 55mph. Yuck. I’m pretty sure that the majority of time I spend in the car is at a speed higher than 55mph. It was originally intended to conserve gasoline but received so much criticism that it was raised to 65 and eventually…

Day Number 54 - Mountain Dew has caffeine #beard #beards #beard365 #yeard

Did you know that 54 is the number of milligrams of caffeine in 12 ounces of Mountain Dew? I miss dew. I’ve been having a hard time keeping up with everything lately. Mostly because I gave up flavored beverages like soda and energy drinks. It’s driving me nuts. A guy can only take so much water and coffee. I’ll drink a glass of milk every now and then… but I’d rather have a Mountain Dew. The 54…

Day Number 53 - The Love Bug #beard #beards #beard365 #yeard

Herbie is the lovable Volkswagon Beetle in the 1969 film “The Love Bug.” Herbie’s racing number was 53. In my opinion, it’s a classic film that everyone should watch. I’d also recommend avoiding Lindsay Lohan remake. Yikes.

Here’s my selfie for day 53:

Fun IT fact of the day: 53 is the UDP and TCP port number for the Domain Name System protocol. If you know what that means, we should talk.
