Concussions are more than just a sports injury that men get from contact sports like football, boxing, and hockey. They can happen to anyone, at any time and surprisingly among female high school soccer players had a higher number of concussions compared to male football players. In this post, we will take a look at what a man can expect to expect during and after a concussion as well as how to avoid them in the first place as well as the importance of seeking medical attention after a head trauma. If you or someone you know has recently suffered from a traumatic hit to the head that might be a concussion, please consult with a doctor immediately.

If you're looking to make a statement, these are the boots to wear. However, unlike some similar patriotic pieces of clothing, these are legitimately awesome boots that are as good for work as they are for a night on the town. Granted, you gotta be a bold type of guy but while these boots look great - they are also the same Wolverine quality that you already know and love. So, if you are looking for something fun for that tailgate party, or guys night out... these are a pair of kick butt boots that you should check out!

I love my sunglasses and while many of them are purely for fashion, there's a practical side of quality eyewear that deserves to be talked about too. While cool looking mirrored shades on the beach might be great at hiding your eyes as you look around and admire the scenery - good sunglasses are designed to protect your eyes and allow them to function at their maximum level. Glasses like this are designed to help you see those fish better, avoid getting dust in your eyes so you can take that turn faster, and ultimately offer the best sun protection possible so you can enjoy the perks of good vision as long as possible.

You know the people... those ones bopping their head while walking down the street and sometimes they are talking to themselves. We used to mock these people staying they must be high or pity them for being mentally insane. The reality over the past decade or so is that these are just folks jamming out to music by plugging earbuds into their heads and effectively sealing off reality. Not only is this dangerous but it is also disruptive to those around them in busy city environments for instance and tragic in other situations like a hike where you might like to enjoy some music... but not miss the natural sounds of creeks, birds, or the wind blowing through the trees. That's where Lucyd comes in and offers an alternative to make music and calls on the go safer while not isolating you from the environment.

A large DIY project requires various steps, and missing just one can be a nightmare. Preparation is everything for a complex job that requires more than a hammer and a few nails. A full decor project or renovation needs planning and an emphasis on health and safety.

Living in San Diego, I've become somewhat of a flip flops snob as they are pretty much all I ever wear unless I'm going somewhere that needs protection from the weather or more support. What I've not seen before was a pair of men's sandals that have a bottle opener built right into the sole. Till now! These Fanning men's sandals are functional and they also feel great for walking around town.

The day your child leaves home is a bittersweet moment. You'll be excited to have more time and space, but you'll also miss the hugs and kisses from your little one. As an empty nesters couple, it's important for you to take some time off before they leave so that you can spend quality time with them on their last few days at home. It's also a good idea to set up any new routines in advance so that things are running smoothly once they're gone - this will make sure that they feel safe when they go back home. Here are 11 ways to prepare for your children leaving home.

Baseball is back next week! As opening day games commence across the country that means that millions of you will be wearing your favorite team hats and then going out afterwards to celebrate. While baseball caps are great for the game, the challenge most of us face is that it tends to compress your hair and it's pretty obvious that you just took your cap off before going out to the bars. Don't worry though, with the help of Old Spice's new Swagger Gel, we've got you covered!

For the ultimate NASCAR fan, there's no bigger achievement than actually owning a car driven my your favorite driver. Short of buying an actual team, this is probably the closest you will ever come to living out those Days of Glory dreams. For most people though, this is simply a fantasy but it's actually surprisingly easy to achieve and a lot less expensive than you might think.

Hats are an essential part of my traveling gear since frankly I don't like to use sunscreen except when I really need it. While I have a couple sun hats that are perfect for the beach, sometimes you need something that looks great on or off the trail that is comfortable, stylish, and protects you from the sun. That's what I loved about this fedora that Coolibar sent me to check out on a recent trip to Vegas.

Let’s park the masculine bravado for a minute. We ultimately all want to be in a loving relationship with the woman (or man) of our dreams. That means we need to be better men, a better boyfriend and indeed ultimately better husbands and fathers too. This isn't about just simply buying flowers for your special person, it's an ongoing commitment being the best boyfriend possible.

Garages are wonderful things. So much so that they’re a non-negotiable addition on many a home buyer’s list. Not only do they provide private protected parking, but they also give you the option to expand your living space or even just simply store "stuff". In an age where we’re growing out of our homes like there’s no tomorrow, that’s a sure plus. Unfortunately for those of you who might be looking at that space out back that hasn't been used in ages... watch out! There may be some unexpected surprises waiting for you in there...

Almost everyone has at least some mold in their home. Even though not all types of it are dangerous or toxic, they still present a health risk. The people that are affected the most typically suffer from allergies or asthma. Most of the time, distinguishing between their types is impossible without the help of a lab. But, of all of them, black mold is the most toxic and dangerous, and it should be removed as fast as possible.

The brand Florsheim is widely recognized but I feel like many folks - including myself - identify it as more conservative, fancier, and though very well constructed... not always the most comfortable shoes. That has clearly changed in the last few years as two of my absolutely favorite and most comfortable shoes are made by Florsheim. This includes the Lakeside "boat shoe" that I took with me on a recent cruise and has now earned it's place as my preferred show for traveling.

While the world is becoming more progressive, gender roles are becoming more fuzzy. There’s nothing wrong with this, but societal norms and expectations are changing to where it’s becoming more challenging to know and understand basic skills that people would know generations ago. 

We are entering a great era for men who want to choose unique, good-looking wedding bands. While you can still pick traditional styles and materials, a new generation of designers have brought a raft of cool, contemporary alternatives to the table.

Ultimately, the most effective strategy is to discourage them from entering your yard in the first place. Rattlesnake-proofing your property involves planning, hard work, and constant diligence.

Taking cues from nature, such as a bear's winter den preparation, it's possible to imbue your home with a welcoming warmth that doesn't necessitate high thermostat settings. Think of creating a snug retreat that doesn't significantly inflate your energy bills. Natural light usage, effective home insulation, thoughtful furniture placement, and decor with warm colors and tactile appeal can help set a warm, inviting atmosphere. Don't underestimate the power of curtains and rugs in maintaining warmth either. These easy but impactful strategies help keep your home cozy and your heating bill manageable. 

These Chore Farm Leather Chelsea boots really caught my eye. While “The Original Muck Boot Company” has a far more utilitarian heritage - with a name that evokes trudging through damp soil while doing farm work and needing to be rugged enough to protect your feet from whatever your are trudging through - while being able to clean off that “muck” from your feet - these on the other hand are as stylish as they are rugged. Plus, they fit great too!
