Keep it Anchored ESSENTIALS + HYDRATION KIT FOR MEN One-Month Review
The fastest, easiest way to minimize hair loss in men. Read the full review on my experience using the Keep it Anchored Essentials + Hydration Kit
This post was sponsored by KeepItAnchored. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I struggle with the thing that most adult men struggle with as they get older. Yes, you guessed it, hair thinning and hair loss. There are a number of factors that can cause hair loss - genetics, aging, nutrition and stress. Guys, this isn’t the end of the line for you and it’s certainly not the end of the line for me! I’ve spent most of the year exploring products that promised to strengthen my hair, make my hair grow thicker, and maintain the hair that I already have. Now my journey has led me to explore the KeepItAnchored products , which are now available in the U.S.
The Verdict
I’m going to walk through my experience with the KeepItAnchored Essentials + Hydration Kit. I’ll drop the verdict now. I could see the difference in my hair after using the kit for over a month now. The balding area in the front of my head seems to be less prominent than it has been in the past. I believe that is due to the fact that my hair is shedding less and my roots are getting stronger. It is to be noted that you experience the best results when you use all 3 products together, but, if you had to choose one product the HairAnchoring Essence is the most important one to use.
My Experience
Let’s hop into my experience with the kit now that the results are out of the way. Both the shampoo and conditioner are lightweight and left my hair feeling soft and hydrated. They both contain a blend of antioxidants and B-vitamins. My favorite product from the kit is the HairAnchoring Essence, which is a daily leave-in treatment. The essence is the most concentrated dose of HairAnchor antioxidants, zinc minerals and B-vitamins and is clinically proven to replenish the scalp. When I massaged it to my scalp I felt a tingly sensation similar to Tea Tree Oil.
Keep It Anchored vs Minoxidil
You have to understand that each product is suited for different stages in the hair loss journey. KeepItAnchored addresses daily hair loss caused by oxidative stress (from the sun, moisture & pollution) while Minoxidil addresses hair loss due to disease & genetic hair loss, often referred to as alopecia. KeepItAnchored is geared towards men & women who have seen early signs of hair loss or are concerned about losing their hair in the future.
I would highly recommend KeepItAnchored to those individuals that are concerned with keeping and strengthening the hair they already have. The lightweight formula and easy to use kit takes all of the thinking out of caring for your hair. I am confident that I will continue to see the results that I envision with continued use of the KeepItAnchored system. Be sure to head over to their website here to learn more about their products and how that can help you along your hair loss journey! I also have a code you can use (ONEILKIA20) for 20% off your order from now until December 15th.
SUGAR FACTORY PENTAGON CITY MALL
LOOKING FOR A QUICK BITE TO EAT IN ARLINGTON, VA? STOP BY SUGAR FACTORY PENTAGON CITY MALL FOR A TREAT!
Today my wife, kids, and I made our way to Arlington, Virginia. Initially, we wanted to find a location to shoot some content for a collaboration that I'am doing with a bag company but those plans changed. We started to google places to eat around Pentagon City Mall, and the Sugar Factory Pentagon City Mall popped up as well as Sugar Factory Union Station. My wife went to the Sugar Factory in Miami, but she only had a drink and no food so the deciding factor for us was which location carried food and drinks, which was the Pentagon city location.
Looking for places to eat in Arlington? Sugar Factory Pentagon City Mall is located at 1100 South Hayes Street Arlington,VA 22202 close to the Macy's at Pentagon City Mall.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Sugar Factory's decor. It was really nice and I can see myself doing a lifestyle shoot there in the future if they'll let me! It wouldn't be right if a restaurant named "Sugar Factory" didn't have candy galore right? They had walls full of candy as well as a bar full of candy to satisfy your sugar crave. I think that's what my son enjoyed the most about our dining exprience.
Now to the good stuff. Here's what we had!
DRINKS
RASPBERRY WATERMELON MOJITO- Made with delicious Fruit Juices, Cruzan Raspberry Rum and topped with Watermelon Candy and Fresh Mint Leaves, it will cool you o in style!
KID'S LEMONADE- Dressed with gummy lemons and lemon Swedish Fish candy
FOOD
THE SIGNATURE FACTORY SUGAR FACTORY BURGER- 🍔 Grass fed Angus beef, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, crispy onions, Sugar Factory sauce with choice of cheese on a toasted brioche bun

WHERE TO EAT IN PORTLAND, MAINE: SILLY'S RESTAURANT
ARE YOU TRAVELING TO MAINE THIS YEAR? IF SO, THIS ARTICLE WILL TALK ABOUT ONE RESTAURANT YOU'LL WANT TO DINE-IN AT DURING YOUR VISIT. THIS RESTAURANT CATERS TO BOTH MEAT EATERS AND VEGATARIANS!
Kenricka and I took a quick trip to Portland, Maine to celebrate Valentine’s Day. We lodged in a really cool Airbnb location. Our host had a notebook where previous guests could enter places that they visited during their stay. A lot of them kept recommending Silly’s Restaurant, so we decided to give it a try.
We were pleasantly surprised by Silly’s Restaurant because from the outside it looked like a home converted into a restaurant, but it was much more. We were greeted by a host of servers and eclectic aesthetic.
The food selection catered to individuals that eat meat and vegetarians. Below you'll find the food and drink selections that we made!
Boo- Berry Margarita El Elspolon Tequila, fresh lime juice, sweet berry puree, shaken till perfect and served on the rocks with a Grand Marnier floater

STREET MEET DC U STREET 01.27.2018
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN JOINING A COMMUNITY OF PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THE DC AREA? IF SO, THIS ARTICLE WILL RECAP STREET MEET DC MOST RECENT PHOTOWALK. HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO JOIN AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY OF PHOTOGRAPHERS!
I can't believe that we are almost through the first month of 2018. There's been so many great things happening in DC. Street Meet DC held their first meet of the year on U street. The turn out was amazing with over one hundred individuals coming out to support the movement. I personally enjoy the meets because it gives me an opportunity to hone in on my photography skills as well as learn from my fellow photographers from the DMV area.
The U Street neighborhood can be described as vibrant, eclectic, and exciting. It is rich in history, diversity, and music-filled. There are so many historical landmarks that surround U street, a few being the Howard Theater, Howard University, 14th St Corridor, and the SHAW neighborhood. You can access the heart of U Street through the green kine on the metro. Let me tell you that there is no shortage of food and music options over there. U street has you covered whether you want Italian or soul food, and you can't forget Ben's Chili Bowl. You'll find a few international eateries as well!

It’s hard to believe that this is the last meet up of 2017. We met at the Woodley Park Metro Station and began to make our way around the multicultural neighborhood of Adams Morgan. The clash of amazing models, photographers, and scenery enhanced our exploration of the area. I will definitely be returning to Adams Morgan to shoot content for my blog and capture architectural images of the neighborhood. Check out some of the images that I captured below!
