Super Sale Alert: Maude — the sustainable sexual-wellness brand beloved by both R29 readers and editors — offered us a very rare deal on its most wanted (to the point of often selling out) vibrator. From now until September 23, the R29-exclusive promo code THESCORE15 will get you 15% off the Vibe in all four of its best-selling colorways (Grey, Green, Clay, and Charcoal). The tiny-but-mighty sex toy comes with three speeds, is water-resistant, USB-chargeable, latex-free, and made from 100% premium silicone. It’s popularly touted for being easy to use (coming vetted and approved by beginners), elegant to look at when placed atop a dresser or nightstand (some have called it “sculpturesque”), and compactly sized (perfect for travel!). With almost 800 5-star reviews from fans (and even a few R29ers), praise for the Vibe doesn’t stop there: one satisfied shopper described it as having “the most beautiful texture”; another complimented its “great ergonomic design” and quiet discreteness. Maude rarely hosts sales or offers promos on its premium lineup of sexual wellness favorites, so let it be known that this is currently THE best deal you can score on it. For more background on the beloved Vibe, if you’re still on the proverbial fence, scroll on.

Maude Vibe, $45 $38.25

“The intention of launching with one, neutral, and the easy-to-use vibe was to redefine it as a basic — just part of your everyday sex life,” Maude founder and CEO, Éva Goicochea told Refinery29. “That our customers have fully embraced and champion it to their friends means that they are also actively destigmatizing and changing the category with us, which was our hope.” With inclusivity at the forefront, this woman-founded Latinx-owned brand aims to educate its customers on sexual wellness and reinvent how sex products look and feel. “In order to shift culture and create a better industry, I felt that it was imperative to bridge the gap and create a company that speaks to all people,” Gocochea explained.

If you’ve been searching for a toy that compliments your aesthetic and comes crafted by a brand whose values match your own, then the Vibe (along with our exclusive discount code THESCORE15) is for you. To conclude, we’ll leave you with this final review: “Besides being an excellent vibrator (the three settings are perfect and the shape is exactly right), it also gets 10 stars for toughness. After some morning play with my husband, our puppy decided she wanted a turn. Somehow, she ended up playing in the yard with it for hours; throwing it around and chewing on it. There’s not a freaking scratch on it and, after being thoroughly washed, it still works perfectly. Not the review I expected to write, but here we are.”

A long time ago, I wasn't cool, stylish or attractive. I was a nerdy, skinny middle-schooler who played in the band, loved the math team and had no idea how to look great in glasses.

I'll level with you. My specs were HUGE and ugly. Thankfully, I can afford better ones now because let's face it – no one looks good in cheap oversized spectacles. But… is it possible to look AMAZING in glasses?

The answer is a resounding yes and in this article I'm going to tell you how to look great in glasses.

Here's what we're going to cover:

1. Own the look
2. Buy your glasses online
3. Find the right frame for your face
4. Own multiple frames
5. Protect your glasses

How To Look Great In Glasses #1 Own The Look

It's safe to say nowadays, men are well-aware that glasses can improve or transform your appearance. In fact, glasses make you look smarter. Don't believe me?

Scientist Helmut Leder published a 2011 study in the Swiss Journal of Psychology titled: The Glasses Stereotype Revisited: Effects of Glasses on Perception, Recognition and Impressions on Faces. Helmut compared people who didn't wear glasses against people who wore rimless and full-rimmed glasses.

People with full-framed glasses were considered more distinctive and were given more eye contact by study participants. These guys were also perceived as being more intelligent and more successful.

Check out the full study results here:

In other words, wear glasses and people may believe you're more likely to succeed than others – or you're more successful than you actually are. Does that put pressure on you? Yes. But hey, wouldn't you rather deal with those kinds of expectations than the negative kinds?

So, where to buy those rimmed glasses?

Glasses Style Tip #2 Buy Your Glasses Online

Why waste time and effort buying glasses in a brick-and-mortar store? It's much better to get them online these days – for the same reasons we love using eBay, Amazon and more. Here are the main incentives for purchasing glasses online:

• Lower Prices – Getting products directly from the source means saving by bypassing the middleman. For eyeglasses, you can save up to 70% off the normal retail price! This is possible because online brands can manufacture their frames at their in-house labs before customizing them to your prescription and shipping them.
• More Options – Online stores generally have a wider range of glasses. They are not restricted by shop size. Lenses available online are still designed by opticians in well-equipped labs and are just as high-quality as the ones you find in retail outlets.
• Convenience – You can search for the perfect pair online, make a purchase, and wait for it to be delivered straight to your home. The whole process doesn't take long at all.

Just be sure any glasses you buy online come with a manufacturer's warranty of at least a year and a solid return/refund policy.

Glasses Style Tip #3 Find The Right Frame For Your Face

Have you heard of ‘birth control' glasses? I saw a lot when I served in the military. Cheap and functional… but unfashionable.

Don't settle for those types. You deserve something much better. The glasses you wear every day should be an investment. You deserve a pair that functions as a stylish accessory (like a classic watch, a nice pocket square or even a bowtie).

Find the right glasses and you will feel more confident whenever you wear them, wherever you go.

The key ingredient to confidence-boosting glasses is finding a pair with a design that complements your face shape.

In general, all human faces fall into any of these categories of men's face shapes (and it's your job to figure out yours):

• Heart/Diamond – characterized by a large forehead, broad cheekbones, and a narrow chin. You'll want a pair of eyeglasses with similar angles (rounder-shaped frames which are wider at the top would make a nice contrast).
• Round – describes a rounded forehead and a more circular face. You'll want frames which put more emphasis on the width than the height. Rectangular frames would help add structure and definition to your face.
• Square – refers to a square face and jaw. You'll want to neutralize those “extreme angles” of your face using softer, rounder frames.
• Oval – This enviable face shape would rock almost any style of glasses. But the best choice would be symmetrical frames with a rigid structure (but also have some softness with a round bottom).

Check out this detailed chart to choose the right frame for your face:

Glasses Style Tip #4 Own Multiple Frames

Let's say you were a millionaire. Would you honestly be okay with owning one car? Probably not.

You could easily afford extra cars in case one breaks down – and they would most likely be different models. You could have a sports car for yourself, a van to transport friends and family, and maybe a stretch limo to bring to those grand events. It's all about function and style.

So similarly, it's good to have 2-3 eyeglasses with you at any time. You'll never know if you end up losing a pair or you accidentally break it. You always want a backup, especially if you travel a lot like I do.

Since most men are creatures of habit, it's normal for guys to stick to the same style of specs for 10 or 20 years. But times are always changing. And you should consider changing things up every now and then to let the world know you're still with it.

So along with 2-3 different pairs, you should explore the idea of having multiple frames – in terms of frame material or color. Experiment with various looks and step outside your comfort zone.

What are the best frame materials for men's glasses?

• Plastics/Nylon-based Composites (suitable for brightly-colored glasses, although painted metals are also available)
• Titanium/Titanium Alloys (popular for their lighter weight and flexibility)
• Zylonite (a lightweight material that comes in just about any color)

What are the best frame colors for men's glasses?

• The “conservative” tones: gold, silver, fine black, brown, gunmetal
  (perfect for men who frequently wear a suit and tie, or those who work in formal settings)
• More “adventurous” choices: bright colors, deep red/green/black
  (for students or creative professionals who want a geeky, retro kind of look that stands out)

Glasses Style Tip #5 Protect Your Glasses

Make sure you have a sturdy protective case for your eyeglasses. Trust me – you won't enjoy the burdens of wearing squashed or scratched glasses.

Dirty or imperfect-looking lenses can be an eyesore but they can also imply you're a guy who doesn't take care of himself – not very attractive.

Also remember to use a soft microfiber cloth – specifically for rubbing against your glasses. Don't rely on your shirt or tissue paper. Cleaning your frames and lenses is a delicate task. You need careful hands and the right material to do it properly.

Always use both hands to remove your glasses from the case (this helps maintain their original shape). Finally, never store your glasses facing downward to avoid any scratches or cracks.

The post How To Look GREAT In Glasses appeared first on Real Men Real Style.

It’s not every day you get the opportunity to interview a Viking but Men’s Fashion Post landed the rare opportunity so we ran with it. We chatted it up with “Vikings” star and country music artist (yep, he also sings!) Alexander Ludwig to talk all things career, true love in a pandemic and the serious ways “Vikings” fans show up. 

Listen, 2020 was super rough for everyone and 2021 isn’t proving to be much better. But 29-year Ludwig chose to transform the tough time into what he calls “a period of introspection. Covid made me grateful for what I had.” And what he had was his partner-in-love, Lauren, next to him every step of the way. So it’s no surprise the two decided to elope on a mountaintop in Utah earlier this year with their dog Yam right next to them, serving as their witness. 

Ludwig publicly marked the sweet occasion on an Instagram post with the following caption, “Life is too short And I didn’t want to spend another day without calling this beautiful woman my wife.” Together they locked in what they knew to be the only thing that mattered in a pandemic full of uncontrollable chaos … love. And listening to the way Ludwig talks about Lauren, calling her the “greatest human” he’s ever met, reveals a softer side to the fiercely fit 6’2” actor. 

Ludwig is a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie who loves skydiving but nothing’s as thrilling as running into die-hard “Vikings” fans. Ludwig remembers a time when he was at a restaurant in Italy, desperately trying to get the attention of a waiter. When he notices the waiter’s arm  – covered in a tattoo of his “Vikings” co-star Travis Kimmel (who played Ragnar). Once the waiter recognized him he was in total shock. Ludwig laughs just thinking about the moment saying it serves as a reminder of how his work and the work of his colleagues transcend borders. 

But before the world became obsessed with Ludwig as Björn on the History Channel series, Ludwig enjoyed a steady stream of success in big blockbusters like “The Hunger Games” and “Bad Boys for Life.” Ludwig says “I was always a performer as a kid. It was always my passion. I knew what I wanted to do right off the bat.” 

Ludwig was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada and has three younger siblings. He credits his father’s climb to success from scratch as a guiding standard and calls his mother, a former actress, his north star. Ludwig says she drove him to all his auditions as a kid and he couldn’t be more grateful for the unrelenting support his family provided. “There’s no formula for success. You just put yourself in the best position to get lucky.” And maybe his luck was written in the stars, I mean, how else do you explain being born on May 7th, weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 7 minutes to 7? We call Jackpot!  

Today his luck and hard work have led him to pursue another longtime talent – his love of country music. His says his earliest memory of country music is listening to Alan Jackson’s “Drive (For Daddy Gene)” on repeat. And ever since then he’s been drawn to the storytelling country music delivers but this time he’s the one doing the telling, recording and releasing his first self-titled EP. And let’s just say the 5-song album is a perfect selection of easy to enjoy hits. Just get in your car, hit play on “Summer Crazy” and drive around with the windows rolled all the way down. A good time for sure. 

If you can’t get enough of Ludwig check out “Heels” on Starz. Ludwig plays Ace Spade, the younger of two brothers and rivals who wrestle for national attention in a small town in Georgia. And later this year you can catch Ludwig in “National Champions” starring Stephan James and J.K. Simmons. It’s a movie about college football players and their fight for fair compensation.

As most pet owners will attest, we’re willing to try just about anything if it might our four-legged friends’ lives better. But with so many new-fangled gadgets on the market (and so many of us ready to return to work and travel), it’s hard to know what’s worth it. Ask any tech-savvy dog parent, and it’s pretty likely that they’re aware of the Furbo dog camera. It offers the ultimate wish of many pet owners: The ability to be there for your dog, even when you’re not. The only problem? It’s not exactly cheap, though you get a lot of high-tech features like a 1080p camera, 160° view angle, and built-in Bluetooth functionality.

When the fine folks at Chewy kindly offered me a chance to try the Furbo out myself, I knew I had to find out. Plus, an upcoming trip served as a great opp to test out all of the premium features. Ahead, keep reading as me (and my rescue, Miso) get immersed in the Furbo experience.

Getting Started

I consider myself a decently tech-savvy person, but I have a feeling even the most Luddite among us would agree that the Furbo was super easy to set up. The box came with the device (which is about a foot tall), a charging cable, and a quick start guide — no extra bells and whistles.

Next, I downloaded the Furbo app from the App Store — it’s free, but keep in mind that the Furbo Dog Nanny subscription (which includes cloud storage for videos, among other premium features) is not. However, every Furbo comes with a free one-month trial of Dog Nanny, so you can test it for yourself before paying.

It took me about five minutes to set up my Furbo from the app. After plugging it in, I created an account, paired it to my phone, and added a name. Last step: Filling the base with Miso’s favorite pumpkin-flavored treats.

At first, I positioned the Furbo facing my apartment’s living room. Miso is a total couch potato, so I figured he would spend a lot of time there when I was not home. However, after tuning into the Furbo remotely, I saw…nada. While the Furbo can give you a pretty wide view of your space, the camera itself can’t move (though it can zoom in and out). When my boyfriend came home that afternoon, we decided to move the Furbo’s location to face the front door in an attempt to witness more pup action. The next day, we were not surprised to see that Miso spent a lot of his time sitting and/or sleeping on the doormat. It was adorable, heartbreaking, and wholesome all at once.

As you can see, the video and picture quality of the Furbo is actually pretty good. Once we figured out the best view, I also loved zooming in to get an extra good peek at Miso. Another A+ feature is the option to take screenshots or videos from the live feed; all in all, the Furbo is there to make all your #content dreams come true.

Tech specs are nice and all, but let’s get onto one of the Furbo’s biggest draws: The ability to toss treats to your pet from your phone. I wanted to love this feature so much, but in all honesty, I rarely used it during my five-day trip. The set-up instructions encouraged a positive association with the device by feeding your dog treats from it early on, but the sound that it makes while dispensing still spooked Miso a bit and made him bark. This is not Furbo’s fault in any way, but still, something to keep in mind with smaller or anxiety-prone pups.

While you may not be keen on signing up for more push notifications on your phone, I will say that Furbo’s were quite useful. You can set up alerts for audio cues like barking, howling, and crying, in addition to visual ones; these include when a person enters the frame in addition to whenever your dog is walking around.

Another key feature of the Furbo is the two-way audio, which allows you to listen and talk to your dog via the device. This ended up being somewhat helpful in calming Miso down if he was barking, but also confused him since he was all, where’s Karina? That said, if you’re not above cooing to your phone in public (totally normal pet parent behavior, right?) then this will prove to be one of the best features Furbo has to offer.

Final Thoughts

After trying the Furbo out for almost a full week, I have to say: It’s pretty awesome. Since I adopted Miso during the pandemic and have been spending lots of time at home, I wasn’t clamoring to buy it just yet. But as things open back up, I know that our “new normal” wouldn’t last forever. This past trip was the first time I’d left him at home, but it likely won’t be the last, and the separation anxiety (from me) was definitely real. In that sense, Furbo came through in a major way since I could still keep an eye on him and make sure he was okay.

While Furbo isn’t without its faults — for one, it absolutely drained my battery life, and a 360° lens would be a game-changer — I’d definitely consider buying dog-parent friends and coworkers this as a gift. I have a feeling it beats any of the cheaper knockoff devices in terms of performance and quality any day. (Plus, when it comes to paying for quality pet products, the limit doesn’t exist.) At $200, it’s not an inexpensive item, but if you’re lucky you can find it on sale. (It’s currently $162 at Chewy!)

Oh, and did I mention that Furbo compiles a daily highlight reel of what your dog’s antics set to a soundtrack of generic jaunty music? Feast your eyes on the adorable-ness, below.
