We moustache you a question!

The start of November has arrived! What does this mean? MOVEMBER! For anyone unsure about what this is - it's an amazing month long campaign involving the growing of moustaches to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other male cancer initiatives. By encouraging men to get involved, Movember aims to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths. Besides getting an annual check-up, the Movember Foundation encourages men to be aware of any family history of cancer, and to adopt a more healthy lifestyle.

Throughout the month of November, TruffleShuffle will be running a competition, involving all your best Movember pictures!

All you have to do is take a pic of you rocking your moustache and send it to competitions@truffleshuffle.co.uk. We'll then upload it to a Facebook album - the picture with the most 'likes' will land the owner £50 to his Movember account, along with a TruffleShuffle gift voucher! The picture can be as serious or as silly as you like - and of course, if you're rocking a TruffleShuffle tee it can only work in your favour huh?

The 80's, and the TruffleShuffle shelves are filled with inspiration...

Guy Fawkes' pointy beard!....is it movie time again?

So like a huddled mass of excited youths gathered around an inflamed bonfire put together with pieces of old wooden furniture and tree branches let us be your crudely stuffed "Guy" made from your poor old man’s pyjamas our smouldering paper mache head tilting awkwardly toward the heavens as we stand in awe and anticipate the explosive, retroactive cinematic magic.

Have happy retro weekend :-)

In a few weeks (fingers crossed) I will be moving into my first house and have begun buying items to make my house a home. Apart from the obvious surround sound systems and large screen TVs that are compulsory for any man buying his first house I have also been on the look-out for some awesome retro loungewear.

Luckily we have added loads of new loungewear items to the site over the past couple of months so there's loads to choose from, below are some items that I will be adding to my collection in time for the move:

Lounge Pants:

Men's DC Comics Comic Print Batman Lounge Pants

Men's Blue All Over Print Logos Superman Lounge Pants

As you know I’m a guest blogger on TruffleShuffle.co.uk and it is one of my favourite things about being a blogger. I have so much love for them!

Now the majority of their t-shirts excite me but when I heard they had some new Rocky t-shirts in, man I could not contain my excitement. I absolutely love the Rocky films having grown up watching them. Balboa is a total legend. Before I became a guest blogger for TruffleShuffle, I actually got in touch with them on Facebook asking them to get some Rocky tees in for ladies, a request which was heard. The tee was of the iconic ‘Italian Stallion’ logo and was given to me as a birthday present by our Steph :)

But one Rocky tee just wasn't going to be enough for me…

The lovely guys at TruffleShuffle knew about my Balboa love and offered to send me the TWO (not one but two!) Rocky t-shirts. Have I told you how much I love them? I was grinning like a Cheshire cat for days! The tees have arrived at a perfect time as I’m currently on a health kick and have been taking inspiration from the Rocky films. Yes you heard right.

I’m not very good at dieting (chips are my weakness) so the only way to lose some weight and tone up is to get my exercise on. However I have wasted so much money on gym memberships in the past as I become lazy and stop going. I know I know! This year I thought I’d do things differently. After watching Rocky 3 one night, I found myself grabbing my skipping rope and going for it. I found the motivation I needed, It was under my nose the whole time. Forget all those celebrity workout dvd’s and Zumba classes, I just needed to take notes from Mr Rocky Balboa.

Now I don’t have my own Mickey calling me a lousy bum and spurring me on so I went to the next best thing: my iPod. Armed with the Rocky soundtrack I have started my own fitness regime. Gone are the days of ‘Get Fit or Die Trying’ (our university regime), its all about ‘Going the Distance with Rocky Balboa’. And so far so good!
