DC x OTH: Pool Le OTH Shoe<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Just in time for summer, Montreal’s streetwise Off the Hook (OTH)<\/a> Boutique has unveiled the results of their collaboration with old school sneaker master DC Shoe Co. for a summer collection<\/a> of shoes, shirts, socks, and hat in burgundy and white.<\/p>\n

Months of collaborative work resulted in the April 2013 debut of an off the hook collection<\/a> befitting DC’s provenance as the kick of choice for surfers and skaters.<\/p>\n

The Pool Le OTH shoe<\/a> has a sleek and slender silhouette, with a cap toe lace up. The suede upper is custom perforated while a sticky rubber outsole features DC’s signature “pill pattern” tread. The footbed is customized with a graphic OTH x DC L.<\/p>\n

Easy on the eye and heaven on the feet, the Pool Le OTH shoe<\/a> works as well on urban streets as it does at the yacht club – all summer long.<\/p>\n

Juniper Ridge: Siskiyou Cabin Spray<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

First and foremost, they’re hikers – not perfumers. Yet, in spite of that declaration, the naturalists at Juniper Ridge<\/a> make captivating fragrances that are as sui generis as the scents of nature atop a mountain in the morning.<\/p>\n

Simply put, Juniper Ridge<\/a>‘s hikers go to the mountain, harvest wild plants, and distill natural fragrances. Made from plants, bark, moss, and mushrooms that are found in the places that they love, Juniper Ridge<\/a>‘s fragrances capture the heady exhilaration that comes from a deep inhalation of nature’s bounty.<\/p>\n

Juniper Ridge<\/a> claims to be the only company that extracts and formulates 100% real, plant-based fragrances. That’s an assertive claim and so when they say that their products are the equivalent to “the mountains in a bottle,” you expect nothing less than the sensation of being immersed in nature, closer to heaven, and surrounded by blue sky.<\/p>\n

In truth, that’s exactly what you get with a spritz of Juniper Ridge Cabin Spray<\/a>. New for spring\/summer 2013, Juniper Ridge Cabin Spray<\/a> is available in all seven Juniper Ridge<\/a> signature fragrances, which are evocatively named for the favorite hiking regions of Juniper Ridge’s founders, including Big Sur, San Jacinto, Cascade Glacier, and Yuba River.<\/p>\n

Formulated from tree pitch, plant sap and juice, and steam-distilled essential oils, Juniper Ridge Cabin Spray<\/a> brings the mountains into your home. Close your eyes and breathe deeply: it’s the next best thing to being atop a mountain in the great outdoors.<\/p>\n

TURO Skin: Sport Lotion + Sunscreen<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

By now, most people understand that the most important skincare product is sunscreen – and especially if you don’t want to look like an alligator handbag. Oddly, only 4% of men use a sunscreen daily, even while 90% of skin damage is attributable to the sun.<\/p>\n

Turo Skin<\/a>, the men’s skincare line, recently introduced Turo Skin Sport Lotion + Sunscreen<\/a>, which meets the new FDA guidelines for shielding the skin from UVA and UVB rays. More than a sunscreen, Turo Skin Sport Lotion + Sunscreen<\/a> is formulated with antioxidants and moisturizers such as algae extract, aloe leaf juice, and sea mayweed, notable for their anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties.<\/p>\n

Best of all, Turo Skin Sport Lotion + Sunscreen<\/a> is sweat and water-resistant for as long as 80 minutes, which means that you can ride the waves and remain forever young.<\/p>\n

Port\u00f3n<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

In many American cities, Peruvian cuisine has become the latest culinary sensation for the food-obsessed gourmand – and pisco sours are the new Cosmopolitan.<\/p>\n

The national drink of Peru, pisco (which means “little bird” in the language of Peru’s Quechua Indians) is a mixable spirit distilled from grapes. A potent elixir, pisco packs a delicious punch. No less a bon vivant than Rudyard Kipling claimed pisco to be “compounded of cherubs’ wings [and] the red clouds of sunset.”<\/p>\n

A “mosto verde” pisco (the highest quality of the Peru’s three classifications), Porton<\/a> has a delicate nose and a smooth finish. When mixed into a cocktail, Port\u00f3n exhibits floral and fruity hints of grassy herbs and notes of orange and citrus.<\/p>\n

This summer, trade up from your standard gin-and-tonic.\u00a0 This summer, toss aside the frozen margarita. This summer, mix it up with Porton<\/a> and live large like Rudyard Kipling.<\/p>\n

Lush: Sparkle Toothy Tabs<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

One of the worst parts of flying is airplane breath: the miasma in your mouth from in-flight meals and recycled air. Fortunately, some airlines now provide disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste, but if you’re stuck in steerage, then Lush’s Sparkle Toothy Tabs<\/a>\u00a0is the next best thing to a cleaning from your dental hygienist.<\/p>\n

To use, you simply crush one tablet between your front teeth and then brush with your wet toothbrush. Sparkle Toothy Tabs<\/a>\u00a0will foam like regular toothpaste, releasing hints of Sicilian lemon and grapefruit, complemented by sweet vanilla. The antibacterial lemon oil cleanses your palate, while the black pepper oil stimulates your mouth and gums with a tingling, clean sensation.<\/p>\n

Even after a ten-hour flight, you can be ready for a Hollywood smooch –\u00a0 and what better way to start a summer vacation than with a good, long kiss?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
