Hello!
Do I have a treat for you today! For months Greg has been asking me to get him beard oil. I told him I haven't the slightest idea where one buys beard oil and he would have to figure that one out on his own. Well, Greg isn't exactly the world's best shopper so we both pretty much dropped it at that. I had thought maybe I'd look for some for him for Christmas, but again, was overwhelmed with where/how someone goes about finding the best beard oil. It's not exactly like deodorant, you know. This is a novelty man's grooming product! You gotta make sure you get one you love!
Naturally I was stoked out of my mind when I was approached to do a post for Lovely Beards. It was a dream come true! A way to try out some beard oil and give Greg a sweet little pre- Christmas surprise. I didn't tell Greg I was doing the campaign until the oil and balm arrived in the mail, and boy, was that man stoked! So stoked, in fact, that he insisted on writing this post for me. "It's my product!" he claimed "I'm the one that actually uses it and likes it so I should write the post about how great it is!" Hey, when someone volunteers to do your work for you, you just agree, people.
So here it is, without further ado, a guest post by my dearest husband.
BEARD ME STRENGTH
I didn’t become a man when I turned eighteen years old. I didn’t become a man when I put my brother’s pet chameleon out of its misery (Story for another day). I didn’t become a man when I first kissed a girl or took a spin on a Honda Shadow.
Oh no.
I became a man when I grew a beard.
Zeus, Moses, Willie Nelson… What do these three all have in common? (Besides brushes with godhood...)
BEARDS.
It’s the key to their power and the key to our own.
Every aspect of my life improves while I have a beard and I mean every aspect… (Insert innuendo of your choice here)
You want respect? Then grow a beard.
But you can’t just grow a beard… Does a farmer just grow corn? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He nurtures that corn. Waters it, massages it, and reads it bedtime stories. It’s the same routine with beard treatment.
Every time I see a man with a real beard, and I mean a REAL beard, I ask ‘How does your beard look so good?’
This may seem too direct or slightly emasculating… on the contrary- It’s empowering. Nothing is better to a man than being complimented on his beard. It’s basically saying, ‘Hey guy, you are stronger than me.’
In ancient times society was ruled by those with the longest beards. Think I’m wrong? READ A BOOK.
Back to the men with the best beards…
The answer is always- ‘I oil bro.’ or ‘wax bro.’ or sometimes just, ‘bro’. Because I should already know the answer.
I’ve been trying to find the right oil/wax for many manly moons and when Bonnie had a chance to receive some through her blog, you’re damn right I hopped on board.
Lovely Beards Beard Oil and Wax makes my beard purr. (And that’s a good thing).
It smells better, looks better, and feels better to the touch.
You want to empower your husband? Want him to get that big promotion? Want to spice things up in the bedroom?
Have him not only grow a beard… but have him nurture it!
You will both thank me.
Sincerely,
A Real Man.
Hi! Bonnie here. Greg really does love this oil and balm. I got him the Mandarin Cedarwood oil and the Nectarine Mint balm. They smell AMAZING. Which is necessary because I feel like beards can kind of start to smell weird once they grow very long. The Mandarin Cedarwood definitely smells a little more manly, while the Nectarine Mint is more of a soft, mint smell. June, being the true champ that she is, spilled out all of Greg's oil on Sunday (and he was seriously so sad) so you better believe I have already ordered him more for Christmas. I ordered the oil in gingerbread this time around, because when you've got a ginger like Greg, you've got to appreciate him, you know?
And because this company is AWESOME, they are offering 10% off your order AND free shipping to Life of Bon readers. Woot woot! (Use code BEARDS10 at checkout!) It really is the perfect gift for your bearded man. I like it because it's fun, but it's also totally practical too. Win win!
P.S. For a good explanation of the wonders of the oil, I suggest checking out this page. Click on oils and then read the description at the bottom of the page- explains perfectly why the oil is so essential for beard growing men.
