There’s nothing worse than when your phone is on its final sliver of battery life. Typically no one has a charger with them or if you do, it is the most inconvenient set up to try to charge your phone let alone if you even have the time. We’ve all been there, and it always seems to happen at the worst moment possible. This is where the Mophie Space Pack comes in handy.

The Mophie Space Pack is great for power users on the GO. If you are always using your phone while running to search for that outlet before your battery dies, then you need to get one of these.

– Snow Lover –

Designed in partnership with Transitions to automatically respond to changing sunlight and weather conditions the new X1 from Dragon Alliance is a snow goggle that we didn’t even know that we needed until they engineered it. For years brands have been developing “quick-change” lenses that can be swapped on-the-fly for changing light conditions. From our experience swapping out lenses is never ‘quick’ and more importantly lenses can be really expensive!

The X1’s self adjusting tint is truly impressive. You can ride all day, into the night and never think once about your lens. If your valentine is a skiier or boarder these goggles are what they need, even if they don’t know it yet.

As the song goes, baby it’s cold outside. However, it’s always a bummer when it’s chilly out and you have to bundle up in a thick, bulky coat to stay warm. You feel like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. Well let us introduce you to The NorthFace’s Thermoball Jacket. Besides the cool name, the Thermoball is ultralight while providing amazing warmth. The Thermoball insulation traps hot air for reduced heat loss and increased coziness. And since it’s not made of bulky material, it can easily be packed while you travel. Not only is the Thermoball warm, it is stylish. It has an active fit and comes in a slew of color combinations.

Staying warm this valentine’s day is a must. Short of snuggling by the fire, the Thermoball Jacket is really the next best thing.

The wireless, bluetooth, and easy to use functions make these headphones a must-have for winter adventures. With the added bonus of the built-in mic, you can easily take, or ignore, a call with the press of the right ear piece. Even better, you can operate everything from volume, to music, to voice activation and calling all with the press of the right and left ear pieces. These high tech, awesome sounding headphones do not disappoint.

Bottom Line, these are a fantastic! The price is high in relevance to other bluetooth wireless headsets, but they have a lot to offer. Just the fact that everything can be done hands-free and your phone is safely in your jacket is worth it alone. Add in the superior audio quality and a built in mic and we have the “it” device for hitting the slopes.

The thing that we noticed first upon pouring is the super strong caramel copper roasted rye & malt smell that hits you like a punch to the face. IT is a glorious smell that you’ll find yourself taking in deeply before each taste. Maybe the name rubbed off on us, but it reminds you of the snow melting when the temperature peaks above freezing.

The carbonation is medium and it has a nice body to it and the ale has a distinguished dark amber/light brown hue.

As impressed as we were with the smell, we were equally pleased with the taste. The taste is quite malty with a bit of a pepper-y taste. This beer was much hoppier than we had expected and was a welcomed taste. The hopes were still medium and of the highly citrus flavor and left a clean taste in the mouth.

The Frost Line Rye finished well with an even match of rye, malt and hops and even left a dark chocolate/cocoa-y taste on it’s way out.

For years now Xikar has been our go-to brand for cigar accessories. They represent the pinnacle of quality and craftsmanship, and their freshly redesigned Ultra Combo lighter + cutter kit is a shining example of the unique and innovative products they produce. The Ultra Combo kit features a single jet butane lighter and a thin profile guillotine cutter. Separate they are both very nice products, but together they are the next best thing to PB&J.

Magnetically charged the cutter and lighter actually lock together as one. When you’re ready to use one or the other just pull them apart. This is an incredibly smart idea, because when do you need to light your stogie and you don’t need a cutter? Having both together is very smart.

We were really impressed with Jameson’s “Stout Edition” Caskmates. Our tasting panel found it to be overwhelmingly smooth, delivering satisfyingly sweet overtones, light body and a medium amount of heat.

On the nose we enjoyed notes of wood, citrus and smoke as well as caramel and honey. I don’t know exactly what we had expected, but the sniff test left us a little underwhelmed. To most of our tasting panel, this was just another Jameson Whiskey – nothing out of the ordinary. Don’t get me wrong, that is by no means a bad thing, I guess we were just expecting more beer/stout/hop notes on the nose, but alas nothing really stood out that we don’t normally expect from traditional Jameson Irish Whiskey.

When tasted neat, Caskmates is surprisingly welcoming. Not too bold and nothing close to delicate, the balance of this whiskey is really nice. While drinking it neat we didn’t experience much of the stout barrel aging on the palate. It was only when we added ice to the whiskey that we really noticed the subtle complexities of this spirit.

On the rocks is by far the best way to enjoy Caskmates. When you add some ice or even whiskey stones the whiskey transforms. On ice the whiskey opens up and allows the stout and hop flavors to release.

Overall, we would highly recommend Caskmates to any Irish whiskey fan. It is not as abrasive as traditional Jameson and proved to be a smooth relaxing whiskey to sip.

The old saying is oh so true…. “A way to a man’s heart is through is stomach.”

If your man is a carnivore, this meat + meat + potatoes meal with desert from Omaha Steaks is where its at!

Recently we had an opportunity to cook this meal ourselves and it is fantastic. The portions might look a little small at first glace, but let us assure you it’s more than enough for a romantic dinner. And best of all – it is simply to prepare.
