I’m not a big fan of wearing shoes unless I have to and they are some kick ass shoes. Not kick ass like in a Bruce Lee kind of way, but kick ass in a Zoolander walk-off kind of way. California surf culture combined with increasingly acceptable casual fashion has led sandals to be pretty [...]
ADVICE: Get some flowers
Want to blow away your date when you take her home to your place? Get flowers.

We talk a lot about consumer products here at ESM but we rarely talk about the maintenance and care needed to keep your lifestyle looking factory fresh.

FEATURE: Centurion Card
You know the one. That black American Express card that means, I own the World. I am usually all for subtlety, but in this case, I say to hell with subtlety.

ADVICE: Focus and Mental Intensity

ADVICE: Affordable Valentine’s Day Presents
Alright fellas, this is the SECOND reminder that Valentine’s day is around the corner. I know I titled this article “affordable” Valentine’s Day presents, but it really should be titled “Valentines for the cheap-ass known as you”.
As a general rule of thumb, the cheapest and most affordable Valentine’s day presents are the ones that are [...]
FASHION ESSENTIALS: A golf umbrella
I think the funniest things to look at when it is raining really, really hard are oversized men with undersized umbrellas. You know, the umbrellas that barely cover your head and everything else ends up getting wet anyway? Why not just buy yourself a big hat? It will be much more convenient and cooler to look [...]
ADVICE: Valentine’s Day
Fellas, I know you spent a ton of money during the holidays and New Years was just last week, but I would definitely like to remind you that Valentine’s Day is around the corner. The earlier you plan, the less of an impact it will be on your pocketbook. You’ll be able to buy things [...]
