Slacklining for the Very First Time with a Maverick Slackline

Slacklining for the Very First Time with a Maverick Slackline

  I had walked through Kimberly Park in Falmouth several times and seen students doing what looked like tight rope walking, only they weren’t high up over Niagara Falls with a long stick in their hands – they were about a foot off the ground and between two trees. It was only recently that I saw a video of Slacklining on youtube and finally realised what they were actually doing. Slacklining is the sport of balancing on a length of…

Three On Thursday – The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

Three On Thursday – The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

  It’s been a pretty miserable week. I’ve been stuck inside because of the rainy, horribly, gloomy weather and to make it even worse I’m back to work.

Wild Tide and a Close Shave With Bluebeard’s Revenge

Wild Tide and a Close Shave With Bluebeard’s Revenge

  My brother bought me some awesome Christmas presents this year, one that I was especially stoked to get was some shaving cream, post shave balm and a shaving brush. Normally shaving products are a bit of a cop out gift, but these were all from one of the coolest men’s grooming brands – Bluebeards Revenge. Bluebeards Revenge are a grooming brand dedicated to men. You won’t find them selling ladies cosmetics that have just had the fragrance changed in…
