Celebrating International Men’s Day in 2022

One of the 6 objective pillars of International Men’s Day (according to internationalmensday.com) is ‘To focus on men’s health and wellbeing’.

For me personally, one of the best ways to educate and upskill within the health and wellbeing space, is to learn from others who have already experienced and overcome hardship in their lives before. Best vehicle to consume their knowledge? A non-fiction book, of course!

When speaking to self-help, health and wellbeing, we are phenomenally spoilt when it comes to reading material, ditto when focusing on men’s health specifically. Now, it isn’t explicitly important to choose a book focusing on men’s health to gain insight into self-care, as tools and understandings often surpass gender controls.

To make this point clear, we’ve included a new release in out line up below, from Geelong-native Deni Tedorovic, ‘Love This For You’. This honest and inspirational guide of how to live authentically includes personal experiences of Deni’s journey navigating coming out as non-binary, and the gender barriers they’ve dealt with their entire life.

If you prefer help books that err on the side of hilarious, we cannot recommend ‘Tripping Over Myself’ by Shaun Micallef, enough! The perfect lightheaded, purposeful and discerning read for men seeking some humorous guidance in life.

For many, there is an intrinsic link between looking good and feeling good. Whether you’re a man who this resonates with or not, you should consider grooming to be part of your holistic self-care routine.

When it comes to the male grooming scene, we are spoilt for choice for lotions, potions, gadgets and gizmos that help men achieve a level of put togetherness that fuels a healthy relationship with his personal expression of style and presentation.

For the male who feels himself with a particular style of stubble, or facial hair, we got you. Tools such as trimmers, shavers, balms and beard oils will allow you to take your self-care grooming routine to a level where it celebrates you and makes the process a dream!

The Burly Essential Beard pack is a great way to dip your toes into the grooming product pool, offering an opportunity to try two products at once.

For the lovers of things that smell delicious, why not celebrate International Men’s Day with a new scent that represents a new stage in your self-care journey? Tom Ford’s Oud Wood EDP is an earthen scent that is both romantic and stoic. We’re big fans!
