The Secret World of Foley
In every movie, there is a hidden world. Fish become modeling clay; skiffs are really boxes; a giant sword being drawn from its scabbard turns into a much smaller kitchen knife. This is the secret world of foley: adding in sound effects in a studio, using common items, while the scene plays on a screen.
All Eyez on Me Trailer

Duke Cannon Supply Co. Puck Soap
Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.

ADYRO Footwear
Minimalism meets performance in the latest lineup from ADYRO, a collection of sneakers designed to rethink the link between price and perceived quality. Built with a focus on engineering over branding, each pair delivers a clean, understated look with the comfort of performance footwear, weighing in at just 9.6 ounces per shoe without sacrificing structure. A patent-pending Y-Lock-Fit system lets you dial in the fit once and slip them on effortlessly, keeping the silhouette streamlined by concealing the laces. Underfoot, a flexible FULLFORM outsole pairs with an Air-O-Sole cork and TPU insole to provide breathable, all-day comfort. The result is a quiet shift toward practical luxury, where the value is in how the shoe performs, not how loudly it announces itself.

Stop Taking Showers
Yes, you'll smell for a few days, but it only gets better — supposedly. Soap and shampoo strip away the bacteria that helps protect your skin, and stopping the use of these products might lead to better skin and hair — with the added benefit of less environmental impact.
