Although it might sound like a dream, living on coffee alone is not so wise. There are some positives like reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes and some cancers, but that's just with regular consumption. Like two or three cups a day. Going on an all-coffee diet leads to excess amounts of caffeine and causes headaches, nausea, restlessness and muscle spasms. Overdosing on it can even lead to more series problems like comas, trouble breathing, and cardiac arrest. So go ahead, enjoy your espressos and americanos. Just remember to keep it in moderation.

Stanford dermatologist Dr. James Kilgour's eponymous hair growth brand, KilgourMD, has been shown to outperform the popular minoxidil, which only works to regrow hair once it's gone. The KilgourMD Bundle, however, puts patients on the offensive, too, providing a dual-acting proactive and reactive solution to hair thinning and hair loss. In clinical studies, the system — which is made from natural, plant-derived extracts and comprises The Prevention Scalp Serum and The Treatment — decreased visible hair fall by up to 30% and stimulated hair follicle growth by up to 200% over two months. Save when bundling

Ever run a half-marathon in work pants? Someone did in the Ministry of Supply's Kinetic Pant, and they set a Guinness World Record. We don't necessarily recommend doing that daily — unless you're late for a meeting — but that's certainly more than enough proof that they're comfortable, stretchy, sweat- and water-resistant, wrinkle-free, and breathable. Plus, they're machine washable and easy to dress up or down depending on the day, thanks to the wide array of colors they offer, comfortable drawstring band, and zippered pockets. Adding to their versatility, they're specifically cut to work well with sneakers, which most of us are rocking to the office and on the weekends, too. And the waist measurements aren't broad-stroke alpha sizing: these are available in 28 through 40-inch waist sizes.

A front-mounted digital temperature display and app connectivity make monitoring the oven simple, G2 Gas Technology with tapered flames delivers more consistent heat, and the glass visor is removable to allow for cooking larger dishes.
