    Hand and foot care in the comfort of the ultimate Man Cave.

    King-Size Leather Chairs

    Personal Flat-Screen TVs & Headphones

    Premium Sports Channels

    Imagine a haven where man’s most difficult decisions hinge on which channel to watch or what beverage to sip. The vibe is a luxurious one, one comprised of soft leather, dark wood, and steel. There is no fight for the remote, no lady gossip in your ear, and certainly no shortage of relaxation. This is Hammer & Nails and they put the “man” in manicure.

    As Los Angeles’ premier nail shop for men, the mission is simple: to give men the pampering treatments they love, sans the feminine details.

    They invite you to sit back and enjoy the game on your personal flat screen television, while one of our lovely nail technicians rubs the knots, cramps, and calluses from your hardworking feet and hands.

    Experience a bevy of soothing services, including a shoulder massage or nail buffing, all while sipping a complimentary beverage in a king-size leather chair.

    You won’t ever have to lift a finger, except maybe to switch from one premium sports channel to another. Visit Hammer & Nails today and find out what it means to be treated like a king. Your throne is waiting.

    My husband fricken LOVED it so much so, he was quoted in the LA TIMES!!

PERFECT STOCKING STUFFER!!! (no pun) Bootights/Darby’s by Shelby Mason

I live in boots.  Not to mention cowboy boots are my addiction.  However, it's always a total pain finding the right sox. Mostly I have gym peds that are simply a no-no with cowboy boots or my husband's thin, ripped sox from three Christmas' ago. I have taken to wearing my kids sox in an attempt to find the perfect boot sock.  Not a good look. Or feel for that matter. They're 3 and seven years old.

(okay I really need these boots below, but that's another story)

Love this color! @Shelby Mason.com, #darbys, @Lacy Adams, #lace, #bootsocks, #boots, #cowboyboots

Enter Shelby Mason and her adorable Darby's.  They really are the ultimate boot sock.  

NO MORE SLIPPING DOWN SOCKS, NO MORE CUT CIRCULATION AND THEY ARE ADORBS AND SEXY TO BOOT! (WINK!)

$25 a pair – and the PERFECT stocking stuffer (wink wink, again).

Sleek hosiery material from the knee to ankle + Attached ankle height socks

Upper Portion:

  • 80 denier hosiery in fun colors and patterns
  • every-course knit for durabilty and stretch 
  • stretch in all directions while maintaining incredible fabric memory
  • elastic cuff for added "stay-put" support at top
  • sleek fitting performance for for tall or short boots

Darby's

Lower Portion:

  • moisture wicking fibers keep feet cool and dry
  • mesh zone for supreme ventilation
  • compression arch support for contoured fit
  • additional cushioning in the toe and heel to reduce snags and runs
  • flat toe seam eliminates uncomfortable "tight toe"

 

 

And then – the BOOTIGHTS!

Tights are a thicker and denser form of pantyhose. + Ankle height socks sewn into the bottom portion of tights.

The tights:

  • range from 40 denier semi-opaque to the 100 denier opaque Shaper
  • incorporate an every-course knitting process to create a supremely smooth fabric
  • stretch in all directions while maintaining incredible fabric memory
  • control top for smoothing support
  • super soft, non-rolling waistband
  • a variety of fun colors and patterns

The socks:

  • moisture wicking fibers keep feet cool and dry
  • mesh zone for supreme ventilation
  • compression arch support for contoured fit
  • additional cushioning in the toe and heel to reduce snags and runs
  • flat toe seam eliminates uncomfortable "tight toe"

Riudavets – super hip sandals, a standard for the whole family

December 9, 2013

  

 

The Original

RIUDAVETS

You will struggle to find someone who has visited the island of Menorca and hasn’t taken a pair of Traditional Avarcas home with them. In many ways, these typical sandals mirror what Menorca is all about: simplicity, comfort and respect for the environment. Riudavets USA is now providing these sought-after authentic and original sandals to the United States, which will quickly become the latest, must-have fashion trend.

Comfortable, durable and handmade from premium Spanish leather and 100% recycled rubber (made from car tires), it’s no wonder they have been around for hundreds of years.

Avarcas come in variety of fashionable colors and prints (for men, women and kids), making it hard to go home with just one pair.

I found it impossible to choose, but I went for Bronze.

Your kids and dude will love them too!

$88 – $120
