Axe? Old Spice? Nivea? How about no?

Hello, Joseph here once again and I am here today to share with you all what, in my opinion, is the best men's shower gel on the market right now. Now for those of you who may not think about something like this, consider the fact that off of the top of your head which body washes, shower gels, and other men's hygiene products actually do their job? Like actually clean us up, leave a nice fragrance in our skin and provide us with a truly healthy, sanitary experience when we hop out of the shower? Most of us probably haven't given it too much thought, and it's not necessarily unexpected. I remember days when I was just fine "smelling" clean and fresh, thinking it was good enough. Truth is though, most of us probably don't really put much thought into what it is we're pouring onto our skin, and breathing in as the steam of a hot shower evaporates the soapy water we use, spreading it throughout the restroom. I mean you have Axe body spray and shower gels which honestly don't seem to do a whole lot but make us think we're clean after we use them. I mean do they actually clean the dirt out of our pores? Also I know you've been around the people I like to call "Axe Abusers". I mean no disrespect but the body spray alone can be irritating to the respiratory functions of a human being sometimes, and there's no mistaking a guy who is covered in Axe body spray when they're at the party, or in Starbucks, at a family gathering or other highly important event. Plus from what I've experienced ladies aren't usually too fond of it, perhaps it is a love hate relationship?


Anyway, before I get too far off topic, the fact is that Axe, while okay in my opinion, simply does not clean us effectively as men, nor does it fit into what I would consider a Professional man's hygiene product, I used it as a kid admittedly but I quickly found that it had no space in a respectable man's hygiene kit. What I can say though is that I have definitely come across 2 very amazing, high quality products that have uses in all capacity's of the average, and not so average man's life. I wish to share with you all these two wonderful products!




My number 1 pick for the best shower gel/Body wash for men is...



EVERY MAN JACK



Yup, it was tough but I had to choose this as my all time favorite and, in my opinion, the best body wash you can buy! It is the definition of professionalism, and true hygiene. The pros and con

Pros

1) This stuff truly gets you clean as it is specifically designed to clean deep into the pores and scrub away dead skin!

2) It smells phenomenal, trust me guys she will definitely enjoy the scent!

3) 100% All natural ingredients that means, no preservatives, no dies, and NO CHEMICALS!

4) Dermatologist approved and never tested on animals!


Con

1) Hard to find locally

Those were my reasons for picking EMJ as my number one, simply because of the amazing quality it offers. This shower gel smells absolutely amazing and I have never felt cleaner when using another body wash. This shower gel is 100% naturally derived. It's invigorating and flavorful scent is enough to make me a permanent customer, and the fact that I managed to get it while I was deployed to Afghanistan. Even in those extreme conditions of desert like mountainous terrain and standing guard in 120 degree heat inside of a tower this body wash kept me fresh! I was so impressed with it's performance that I couldn't help but make them the number one and with the excellent performance it provides at the price it's offered it's just better in my opinion, unbeatable! $9-11 a bottle, $4-6 if you can find it locally at Target.

If you wanted to try it for yourself you can find some links below that will take you directly to Amazon.com so you can purchase your bottle right now


I've used all of the products above so I decided to share it with you guys, I can't recommend a product I've never tried myself. Ladies if you want to get a great gift for him that's cheap and sure to please, get him some EMJ and call it a day! (Sorry I had to try it).


However If you were looking for something more flattering and aren't afraid of spending some extra cash, There is another product I use...for very special occasions! My number 2 pick is sure to please:




My number 2 pick for the best shower gel/Body wash for men is...


MOLTON BROWN



Ah, yes how could I forget Molton Brown? Molton Brown is a very sophisticated brand of male hygiene products. Never heard of it? In which case it's no surprise because the company is based in the UK where it started off as a hair salon way back in 1973 and was purchased for £170m back in 2005 by a japanese company called KAO, from such humble beginnings it grew into an internationally acclaimed company whose products are featured in the finest and most exclusive department stores and boutiques across the world.

MY HONEST OPINION is that this stuff absolutely rocks! the fragrance alone is absolutely tremendous, It smells better than any other body wash out there, including Every Man Jack. When my father took a shower with this as his father's day gift I sent him from overseas last year. My mother told me that the fragrance literally filled the entire house for hours and wow does it smell good! Did I mention it smells really good?

This is the kind of thing you'll want to use  to grab someone's attention and make people say, "Wow, who is that? He smells amazing!" As such it is Perfect for formal events, or a lovely evening with that special someone. I have to do a pros and cons here because there are only a couple downsides

Pros

1) The fragrance will amaze you it's a scent that must be experienced to believe!

2) That same scent lasts all day long!

3) Very large product selection 

4) Perfect to set aside for special occasions and makes for a truly awesome gift


Cons

1) Bottle is quite small, I don't recommend every day use unless you don't mind contending with the second con.

2) The price. It's a great product, but quite a bit more than what else is out there.

3) It's hard to find, if not for the internet I may never have been able to try it, and I doubt you'll find it locally unless you're in UK.



Nevertheless, if you want to give Molton Brown a shot and or you wish to get it as a gift for someone, I have provided more links to the MB Products I recommend:




Okay a couple disclaimers, first I don't own any products or the rights to any of the products or companies that I have mentioned in this blog. Also, I'm not bashing those of you who prefer to use say, Old spice, Dove for Men, Axe, Nivea, what have you, I've tried all those products too, and this is my honest opinion, I just wanted to share this with everyone out there, maybe it could help someone, I hope it does somehow but who knows? All I know is that I know I'm truly clean and fresh when I use these products and if anyone else can feel the same way by my help then I did my part!

Questions? Comments? Leave them in the comments section and I will get back to you ASAP also if there's a product out there you wish for me to review and post, if I am able, to I will! Just leave me a comment below, I'm here for you guys! Thanks for taking the time out to visit and I hope you all have a wonderful day! Hopefully I saved you folks out there some money or managed to make your money go a little farther this time.
  
(PS If you're going to shop through Amazon the best thing to do is go ahead and become a prime member, you'll get free 2 day shipping plus other great stuff).

So Facebook can mean results for your business? How exactly?

Hello everyone, Joseph here again and today I wanted to discuss what exactly Facebook could do for you and your marketing goals. Ok, here's the deal. Facebook has over 1 BILLION users, officially, even if that number were cut in half that's a lot of people. My experiences with facebook for generating leads are actually pretty successful. If done correctly I've seen nearly immediate responses from people interested in the great product I have to offer, and the opportunity it presents to build a respectable income:

The link to my site is above, but the fact remains that Facebook presents an avenue fit for exposing your ideas, opportunities and business to millions of people in a short amount of time. The only real issue is how does one correctly market on Facebook. This varies from person to person, usually I would post a picture that either captures people's attention or shows the power of my product, then I would write in a caption with a summary of what the picture is trying to say. I would then tag people in the initial tagging bar (usually people I have gained permission from, or who have shown interest in the opportunity on a previous day, but be careful not to tag your fellow team members if such a group applies to you, they may want to use a similar strategy and it does not help to tag each other, seeing that you're marketing to your partner's audience if you do that.) I would then stop notifications so people you have tagged in the post don't get annoyed by constant notifications from likes or comments. I try to avoid comments because of this very reason as well, basically stating to not comment but to message me for the information, however be mindful that not everyone chooses to read what you actually type, so make sure you pay attention to what's going on in the posts you make. Since you've stopped notifications you don't know if anyone commented negatively or even worse is trying to market their business through your posts. Next but most importantly, after you make the post, it seriously helps to promote it, it costs $6.99 to promote through Facebook and they accept either a major credit card, or I believe PayPal as well. This helps your post stay relevant for an extended period of time which is extremely helpful when generating strong leads, and many likes. The more people that like your post, the more that will see it, so make sure the first thing you ask people to do in your post is actually like your post/status. People like posts on Facebook just for the simple action of liking it sometimes, which gives the post more exposure, and increases your chances of hearing from genuinely interested people.

Once you've promoted it is important that you make sure notifications have been STOPPED. It is also very helpful to tag the actual picture, tag as many people as you can with the most friends, the more friends they have the more people will see it, so it really boils down to how consistent you are, you don't want to tag the same people every single time so it is advised that you add people to your Facebook every day, either by asking people to add you, or adding people you know. It's really a no-brainer once you get the hang of it. My last tip is to try and post around 11:30 am, since most people are going on their lunch break and will be hopping on their phones and seeing your posts at the top of their Facebook feed. This is incredible for restaurant owners because they could definitely gain a lot of people who are hungry and willing to try something new! Seeing your ad or post on Facebook with a delicious meal could make them haul butt to your restaurant to enjoy an amazing lunch, which will give you even more feedback because they will tell others who have seen the post about their experience, they may even comment on the post in support of your service!!!

Don't be fooled by another's perception.

Ok, I'm sure we've all had a moment or two where we've wanted to try something that may have been considered foolish or unorthodox. Perhaps it is because our goal seemed somewhat unrealistic to other people in our lives. This is a problem though, not because your goals are unrealistic but because if this negatively influences us then we have allowed our dreams and goals to be controlled by other people. They lack your mindset, they lack your perception so why should they control anything in your life? Simply because they can't see themselves doing something doesn't mean you can't do it either. That means they don't have the vision to complete the task before you. It's your responsibility to fulfill your goals! It's your perception and experience that matter most! I'm not saying to look past wisdom that may be coming your way, but what I am saying is that doubt will rush you and solidify a subservient position in your future. Everyone should have the opportunity to accomplish their own goals at least once in their lives, instead of constantly striving to help someone else achieve theirs. I mean come on...who says we can't do both? Who says we have to serve, to contribute to a failing society by carrying it on our backs? These are simply things to think about throughout your day today. I hope you consider them, not for my sake but for your own.
