HeadBlade Moto Starter Kit

From Amazon

Includes shaver, 8oz HeadSlick Shaving Cream, Razor Refill

Whether you're making a bold choice or just going bald anyway, shaving your dome can be tricky, especially around the ears. But HeadBlade has been making it easier since 1999. Their newest razor has a softer finger ring, dual-axis suspension, and a roller ball to keep the blade maneuverable and close to your head.

This kit comes with their HeadSlick shaving cream (paraben free, perfume free, and dye free) and razor refills. And yes, you can shave your face with it too... and anything else you want. – Chris Shugart

Personal Care

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation SPF 15

From Amazon

Oil free liquid foundation formulated with Amazonian clay. Broad Spectrum SPF 15.

Once I discovered this foundation, I stopped using anything else. It stays put all day – surprisingly even during workouts and hikes – and looks pretty dang natural, which means nobody will judge you for wearing makeup during workouts and hikes.

It's great for those who have combination skin, though some say that it's a little drying, so just make sure to use moisturizer first so that it spreads evenly. – Dani Shugart

Personal Care

PURA D'OR Original Gold Label Anti-Thinning Shampoo, 16 Ounce

From Amazon

Achieve thicker, fuller hair. Improve hair appearance. Protects and strengthens.

Between all my workouts and my occasional side jobs as a coal miner and manure farmer, I take a lot of showers and I end up washing my hair more than any hair-care guru would recommend. I also worry about eventual hair thinning and DHT-related hair loss, so I started looking around for a better shampoo. That's when I found PURA D'OR Gold Label formula shampoo with its 9,000-plus 4 to 5 star reviews on Amazon.

This stuff has so many herbs and botanicals in it – 17 of which are DHT blockers – that it would probably make a serviceable salad dressing. It smells great, lathers up like a car wash, and costs less than a dollar a month, even if you wash your hair every day. While I doubt that it makes hair grow back, it definitely seems to help you keep what you have, in addition to thickening it up and making it more purty and manageable. – TC Luoma

Personal Care

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream

From Amazon

Delivers younger, revived-looking skin. Lines, wrinkles, and signs of sun damage appear reduced. Depleted skin feels strengthened and moisturized.

It makes your skin feel smooth and healthy immediately. But what I like about it the most is the packaging. You press on the surface of the container and the stuff comes out. It basically measures out a serving size for you, so you never have to touch the rest of the product – only what you'll use that day. This is more hygienic than other moisturizers where you have to dip your fingers into a whole pot. – Dani Shugart

Personal Care

Anastasia Beverly Hills – Brow Wiz

From Amazon

An ultra-slim, retractable pencil used to outline and fill in brows. Wax formula mimics brow hair and is ideal for all skin types. Fine tip pencil for detail and precision. Available in 10 shades.

Eyebrows are a big deal now. Everyone notices them. So I use this pencil to fill mine in a bit – yes, even before going to the gym. The stuff doesn't budge. You can either do what's trendy and draw caterpillars above your eyes, or you can go easier on it and lightly fill in what you've naturally got. Either way, this pencil is a favorite among women who use makeup. Make sure to browse all of the color choices before placing an order. – Dani Shugart

Jaybird Vista True Wireless Earbuds

From Amazon

Waterproof and sweat proof. Three sizes of interchangeable ear gels ensure a secure fit.

We asked our fans on Instagram what earbuds they recommend for tough workouts. These Jaybird Vista buds scored high marks. They'll give you six hours of listening time on one charge. Forget to charge them before leg day? It only takes five minutes of charging to get an hour of play time. Lose them? Use the Jaybird app to track them down. Cool. – Chris Shugart

Technology

AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker

From Amazon

Uses total immersion and gentle pressure to produce micro-filtered coffee with extraordinarily rich flavor. Tote bag for travel included.

Sometimes the best tech is low-tech, and few things prove the point like the AeroPress Coffee Maker. I got one of these things as a gift and it was like giving wine, or Pepsi or something, to a man who had only known water. I'd spent so many years drinking coffee from a lousy Mr. Coffee brewer and, later, a K-Cup dispenser, that I forgot what coffee was supposed to taste like. Holy crap this thing makes good coffee!

The kit consists of a plunger, the seal, the chamber, and filter cap, and it comes with 350 paper filters, a funnel, a stirrer, and a scoop, but don't be intimidated. This thing is easy to learn and clean while actually being fun to use and master. Just add some coffee to the chamber, add hot water, insert the plunger, wait a bit, and then squeeze the plunger down until you hear a satisfying hiss. In two minutes you'll have the best tasting cup of coffee you ever had. Oh yeah, the plastic is BPA free, so no worries there. – TC Luoma

Plantronics BackBeat FIT 500 Sport Headphones

From Amazon

Wireless. 18 hours of power on a single charge. Memory foam headband and earcups. P2i military-grade nano-coating protects against sweat.

Some people just can't keep earbuds in place and prefer headphones for the gym. These budget-friendly "cans" were also recommended by our Instagram followers. Fans like the handy on-ear controls which allow you to skip tracks, adjust the volume, and pause the music when those "can't take a hint" talkative people interrupt your damn workout. – Chris Shugart

Instant Pot DUO60, 6 Quart

From Amazon

6-in-1 programmable pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, sauté, steamer, and warmer.

Any good nutrition coach will tell you that the key to dietary compliance is meal prep. Sure, you need to eat the right foods, but those foods need to be ready to go before you're hungry, hangry, and tempted by a bowl of Sugar-Frosted Wheaty Cucks.

Enter the Instant Pot. With the fool-proof pressure cooker function, this thing can whip up mountains of meat and veggies in minutes. We're talking a whole chicken in about 24 minutes, a dozen boiled eggs in 5 minutes, baked potatoes in 12 minutes, and steel-cut oats in 10 minutes (plus the time it takes to build up pressure, which is pretty fast). With most foods, you can set it and forget it too. The Instant Pot will take care of it without overcooking your grub.

Oh yeah, it's also a slow cooker, a yogurt maker, and a rice steamer. I think it does shiatsu massage too, but I haven't pushed that button yet. – Chris Shugart

Avantree Wireless/Wired Bluetooth Headphones

From Amazon

Super-light over-the-ear headphones with wireless Bluetooth and wired connections.

Music tends to make exercise, or pretty much any activity, much more tolerable and a good pair of headphones can be key, especially if earbuds don't fit your earholes. This set sits lightly on your head and ears so you don't feel like you're wearing a helmet. The wireless Bluetooth connection lets you play, pause, or skip tracks using buttons on the headset without needing to mess with your phone.

I also wear them anytime I do yardwork, a.k.a. NEPA, although 90 decibels from Metallica is technically the same as 90 decibels from a lawnmower, which may or may not defeat the purpose of "ear protection." – Chris Colucci

Food & Snacks

The New Primal Sea Salt & Pepper Beef Jerky, 2 OZ (Pack of 8)

From Amazon
20% off with Amazon Coupon

Made with 100% grass-fed beef, raised without the use of antibiotics or added hormones. Certified gluten free, soy free, and naturally sweetened with pineapple juice and honey. Top 8 allergen friendly. Contains 90 calories and 12 grams of protein per serving.

Most jerky is made from heavily processed, low-grade meat. Not New Primal Jerky. It's made from grass-fed and grass-finished cattle raised in New Zealand. That makes their jerky rich in omega-3s and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). This stuff is moist, completely paleo, and comes in a resealable pouch. It's available in Sea Salt & Pepper and Cayenne & Honey flavors and the only difference is of course the heat level. All in all, a jerky that's as delicious as it is nutritious. – TC Luoma

Food & Snacks

Beanfields Jalapeno Lime Bean Chips, 5.5 OZ (Pack of 4)

From Amazon

Gluten free, non GMO, vegan. Contains 130 calories, 4 grams of fiber, and 4 grams of protein per serving.

These aren't just any chips. They're made mostly from beans. So they're a good choice if you're avoiding wheat or corn for any reason, or you're just tired of conventional greasy potato chips. These chips somehow give you the best of both worlds: heat and flavor. If you're not a fan of spicy snackage, Beanfields makes several other flavors that are just as tasty, but without the heat. Black Bean With Sea Salt is the perfect chip to pair with guac. – Dani Shugart
