With the need to keep up appearances in this modern age of video conferencing, while salons and barbershops out of commission, there’s a good chance you might start to resemble Tom Hanks in the acclaimed film Castaway. Look good and maintain a level of professionalism while working from home-- everyday still counts, and more.

When it comes down to it, so to speak, shoes can make or break your gym-going experience. And no matter your fitness goals, this list has an option for you. While it can be tempting to use the same pair of sneakers for all your walking, running, jogging and gym-going, it’s ideal to have a pair of shoes that you use just for the gym. Beyond extending the life of your running shoes, swapping out that pair for a gym pair does a lot for your workouts. Shoes designed for that purpose are closer to the ground, lending more support to your muscles and joints, giving you better stability during unilateral (one-sided) moves and providing a reliable platform for lifting heavy weights.

When purchasing true running shoes, people often leave space in the toe box for toe splay. It makes sense and can imp...

Bartesian was conceived and developed in Canada by former bartender Ryan Close, from an initial Kickstarter campaign to a booming, international award-winning company. Close worked with expert mixologists to design the ultimate premium cocktails machine through a pod-based system that allows you to use your own alcohol of choice.

The legacy of the Porsche 911 Turbo bears no repeating. Its supercar-level power and performance is matched only by its iconic style. Now, the new generation Turbo S brings the same level of craftsmanship to the coupe and cabriolet models, but majorly ups the power ante. Welcome to quickest and most powerful 911 Turbo yet.

Like its predecessor, power comes from a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine. Though the displacement is the same as the 991, the new engine delivers 640 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque – that’s 60 more horses and 37 more lb-ft than before – thanks to larger variable-turbine-geometry (VTG) turbochargers with electrically adjustable wastegate flaps and a redesigned air-cooling system. The engine has an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox and an all-wheel drive system that...

On a recent Press Trip to travel around the Quebec City region and along the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River, I had the opportunity to experience the all-new Lincoln Aviator— a 7-seater, 400hp SUV that easily competes with Volvo’s XC90, Infiniti's QX60, and Land Rover’s Discovery. What you need to know is that starting from $69k, the Aviator really does afford an interior sanctuary that isn't easily replicable. Adorned with premium leather, chrome accents, state-to-the-art tech, and cabin room that offers complete comfort, its hard not to enjoy the roaming once on board. And getting into the ride is easier than ever as your phone can be used for passenger entry and cycling the engine. Furthermore, air-glide suspension lower the vehicle for boarding and loading luggage-- all you hav...

With only 100 DAYS OF SUMMER, every single day counts. I’ve been grilling 'on the regular' because it feels good and is the perfect way to eat healthy, all summer long. Now with the help of FoodSaver’s latest accessory, the Quick Marinator, I can marinate my steaks, getting even more flavors out of the meat and further enjoy the barbecue experience. 

For years, the discussion amongst most "bros" is which supercars to own in their Dream Garages. And it has ranged from luxury exotics to vintage daily drivers that would be re-tuned to their polished glory— both affording envy of all kinds. One of the cars that always comes up is BMW’s monster M-powered sports sedan, the M5. A five series model that makes no apologies for its size, weight, stance, and performance. Onlookers and owners alike know that the M5 means bizness- a vehicle that accommodates a hectic daily lifestyle as well as a powerful track car for weekend warriors looking to challenge its 4,276-pound pose.

Now with BMW introducing a refreshing version to the already legendary sedan, the M5 Competition Edition (with only 200 units produced) affords new features and increased pow...
