If there’s one thing we love as much as beauty samples, it’s spa treatments. Naturally, we jumped at the chance to team up with beloved brand Kiehl’s to give our NYC-area members a special spa offer. When you schedule any treatment at their new SPA 1851, you’ll receive an exclusive Birchbox filled with deluxe samples of Kiehl’s all-time bestsellers. Here’s how it works:

Have you tried Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective™ Dark Spot Solution? The Birchbox community is raving. Some of our members have even written to us to say that the product has helped to fade dark spots and scars they thought would be with them forever. Given all the praise, we thought we should host a live Twitter chat with Kiehl’s president, Chris Salgardo. This will be your chance to ask any and all questions about Clearly Corrective and Kiehl’s. Plus, participating will enter you to win a bottle of the solution!

Not only are we suffering from a serious case of wanderlust, but we’ve also got a touch of the winter blues. The only cure? Vacay! And whenever we’re planning a trip, the first place we consult is Jetsetter. You can’t beat their combination of gorgeous destinations and killer deals. Lately, we’ve been drooling over their Jetsetter Homes collection, with dreamy villas and private rentals. Each day this week, we’ll be showcasing one of their best mid-winter escape properties and making suggestions for what to pack. From exotic beaches to powdery slopes, there’s something for everyone. By Friday, you’ll be ready to hop on a plane. Today’s lust-worthy locale: Jamaica!
We’ve been dying to get to Jamaica for some one-on-one time with the island’s pristine beaches, delicious cuisine (jerk chicken!), and rich cultural heritage. Who doesn’t love a tropical hideaway that gives you seven-mile stretches of white sand and reggae tunes to relax to? There’s no better time to visit this Caribbean paradise than the frenzied winter months. The spot’s easy-going attitude and idyllic terrain will melt away stress in a matter of hours.
Have you ever been curious why a grooming product has a seal or sticker on the packaging highlighting it as an award winner? Many men’s publications spend time sifting through the oodles of products out there and award their top picks with titles such as “Best Shave Cream” or “Best Anti-Aging…
Some guys use whatever soap is in the shower. Others carefully consider the field and select the best option. Eric, our resident grooming god, falls in the latter camp. Once a week, he’ll be sharing his product findings and lifestyle tips.
Although we here in NYC are currently in the midst of winter, it’s both important and encouraging to think toward summer when more skin will be showing. Exfoliation is easy for the guys to forget about, especially when it comes to their bodies, but it’s an important step to help remove dead skin and allow new skin cells to make their way to the surface. In order to have a healthy clear complexion, exfoliating is a necessity.
The saying is, ‘Two heads are better than one.’ But what about two start ups? That’s way better! We’ve teamed up with one of our favorite up-and-coming companies, Bonobos, to collaborate on a foolproof men’s gift giving guide. It’s the perfect synergy — they know fashion and we know grooming. Our powers combined created a stellar lineup of ideas for every type of man out there, from the busy traveler to the urban sophisticate. Check back each day this week for more picks and remember: ‘It’s the thought that counts’ is just a load of bologna.
He’ll hop in the car for a day-trip to explore a seaside town or to investigate the best prime rib in the state. He’s got the travel bug, and always wants to be prepared for the worst (case in point, he never gets on the road without emergency snacks and at least one flashlight). An intrepid adventurer like him needs a hooded wax coat to protect against inclement weather, but since he’s also the type that wants to look classy no matter where he ends up, he’ll need a cream-colored shawl neck sweater, dark wash jeans, and burnished brown boots for a pulled-together look. To really prepare him for anything, though, grab him a Kiehl’s face cleanser to throw in his emergency kit so he can freshen up (or clean off errant BBQ sauce) on the go.

Once a week, Birchbox’s resident Yoga and men’s product expert, Eric, will gives us girls some insight into his world in You’ve Got Male. Whether he’s giving his expertise on skincare (boys need advice, too!) or highlighting his new favorite grooming trend, this guy has got taste—so we’re lucky he’s on staff and willing to share.

For those of you who nabbed one of the coveted Birchbox Man limited edition boxes before they sold out, you’ve got an amazing gift for your guy that will help him upgrade his grooming and lifestyle game. For everyone else, there are still great ways to put together a thoughtful and exciting present. Pairing items together is a creative option that can show someone you really care and took extra time to help them find a new solution or a fabulous routine. Here are some of my favorite pairings:
Just the other day, we were lamenting the lack of pom pom-embellished hats on the market. Happily, Of a Kind’s latest designer, Annie Larson of ALL Knits, understands the value of a well-placed pom. Grab her La Giraffe hat before it sells out, then check out her favorite healthy hair products.
Annie Larson of ALL Knitwear on Keeping Super-Long Hair in Check
Annie Larson is an unfussy kind of girl who makes truly amazing, candy-colored knits for her line ALL Knitwear. Since she produces every single piece herself from her new studio in Bushwick, that means most days on the job don’t require eye liner or fancy perfume. Really healthy hair, though? That’s key. And to achieve it, Annie has two essentials. “My slight waves and natural coarseness can make well-rounded dreadlocks in just a few days, so a good conditioner is absolutely necessary,” she explains. “Kiehl’s Olive Fruit Oil Nourishing Conditioner is the only one I’ve found that really works for my hair.” In lieu of any sort of styling product, she turns to much-loved magical serum that is Weleda Rosemary Hair Oil. “Many people swear by this product, and I am happy to join the ranks in fortifying its reputation,” Annie adds. “I rub a very small amount between my fingers and run along the tips of my hair anytime I’m about to leave the house, twisting slightly at the ends. Once a week, I use just a little bit more—never too much—and massage my scalp as a pre-conditioner before I wash my hair. I also love the scent of the oil and am happy to have hints of it in my hair and in my home.”

Who doesn’t love toast? We sure do, and as much enthusiasm as we have for the delicious complex carbohydrate, we love the blog A Piece of Toast even more. The masterminds behind the beauty amalgamation of covet-worthy products, style inspiration, and yes, yummy food, are sisters Sally Ann and Molly Bernadette. This week, the Molly is graciously bringing her flair to our blog, dishing on everything from the best hair masks to perfect holiday gifts.
For years, Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 has been a customer best seller, not to mention a must-have for both makeup artists and celebrities. With holiday season around the corner, I think this Kiehl’s Lip Balm Giftable set of four #1 balms is an adorable option for stuffing stockings. After all, winter weather brings dry lips and keeping them hydrated is a must. Give all four flavors (original, vanilla, coconut, and mango) to one someone special or divide the pack to spread extra merriment!
