Heath Ceramics. $100 bowls and beyond. Uh oh.
Let’s talk today about Heath Ceramics, my dinnerware of choice over the last year. Yes, these bad boys are expensive… and frankly a little basic. But, boy are these some cool and high quality staples for the household. The real question is, are they worth it? Or should you stick with Ikea and Target?

Omega Speedmaster 321 Ed White - The ULTIMATE? Waste of Money???

I will buy 3 pairs of cushionaire with black brown and light brown.
I got into powerlifting and I'm fairly big guy (around 265 lbs rn), but I've always loved Steve Mcqueen's Style. You think I could still pull off this style?
I have 2 pairs and I get so many compliments at work. I love them ♥️👍🏽
I’ve owned Rimowa for many years before owned by LVMH. It always had the reputation of high quality design and is iconic before any other brands followed suit. It’s a piece of item that has served its purpose through the years with wear and tear. These days people purchase for the for the intangible value beyond the practicality of a luggage. I purchased for the quality and design inherent with the Rimowa.
Good video man.
Great take on it. I felt the same way seeing it at restaurants 😂
So where’s the deals of RRL? I’m not gonna spend a left testicle
Thank you excellent review.
My quote is “you know you got it made when you’re rocking suede”!
you break so many glasses as you are too POWERful with them treat them with lighter force and do not wash them when you have got drunk
Drinking Different wine from Different Glass is not pretentious, it makes a great difference
So you liked the cabin and not the cabin plus size? May I ask why?
I have a 321 Speedmaster that I bought in 1967 before Ed white went to the moon- original case, original dial but I took the ss bracelet off and it now belongs to the ages. With everyone now “jonesing” over the Ed White model, what’s a real one worth?
I loves this simple ans easy acces video! Thank god it’s possible to make coffee without many unnecessary stuff
It's acetate, not plastic
Which one is better for drawing?
Wore these in construction for years and my dad wore them for 30+ years in construction. Pro Tip: get them wet (like soaked) when theyre new and wear them around until they dry, the leather molds to your foot and then theyll fit like gloves. Best boot ever, Im buying a pair just for everyday wear. (unfortunately my last pair got destroyed after years of welding lol)
I actually found the 11 inch very uncomfortable. It was too small, the 12.9 larger size felt more natural to hold. It felt like I was holding a piece of paper or a clip board. The 11 inch is like a small book… And the 12.9’s mini LED display alone makes it worth it, Netflix, UA-cam and Movies look astonishing on the 12.9 screen.
I can understand why pro athletes or pop stars wear branded clothing. They are paid for it. However I refuse to act as a walking advertisement when I'm the one who pays for the item. Not even considering that it looks tacky.
This headphone will not be obsolete in a 100 years, true art is never obsolete. Like a musical instrument, remember this is not a gadget or a phone. It`s a music transformation device, a work of art.
I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 - these are Australian cowboy boots - they are used in the farms and stations out there plus in the corporate and casual scene. I still have my first pair of rms that I bought back in 1998… definitely a good investment
Glasses a awesome bro
There is a reason why the ipad is doing so well (compared to Samsung galaxy) ...then offers no reason. Every apple blind user ever.
Goes on to talk about benefit of the screen size. But the Samsung is still a no. LMFAOO
Polished lugs and polished outer bracket links ruin the looks of this cool Speedy. Should have been brushed.
You see how ugly this shoes with jeans on this video
Disagree completely. Here are a list of reasons: 1) Try using a Apple Pencil pro while using the Magic Keyboard on with the 13 inch iPad… wobble wobble. Kills it for you. No such problem on the 11 inch. 2) Purple hue on the keyboard on the 13 looks cheap. The keyboard also looks comical to me, like it has too big of a chin and forehead. 3) Despite looking cheap you pay more not for better specs, but a shorter battery life. The specs are the same on the 11 inch. Why pay more unnecessarily? 4) The 11 inch screen being smaller with the same PPI means the m4 has to push 25% fewer pixels with the same m4 chip, giving it a real life performance advantage and it will be more smooth feeling in the future because of it. 5) On that same note, even if the keyboard fails in the future, its much nicer carrying the 11 inch and using it as an actual tablet than the 13. In the hands, the 11 wins easily. 6) If you want big screen real estate, buy a MacBook Air. Buy an external monitor. You don’t need to carry a slab of glass around, there are other - better - options. 7) The 11 is a tight ass unit, the 13 is a wobbly ass supersize me alternative to perfection.
how to close it, urgent
The 12.9 isn‘t even that big when it stands alone
Uses two different movies to make the point the bigger iPad is better, yet the movie on the smaller iPad is in widescreen so looks smaller. Not a fair comparison.
Is that a Martin Logan speaker behind you?
I like this review of barbour.
Expensive UA-cam player
from 321 (column wheel) switching to ratchet wheel (861 later 1861) is not for tech advance reason but rather "cheapo under cut" consumers move as the whole assembling line can be cost cutting. after under cut customer and now putting it back again "wala" here you go the "column wheel" that originally should be there with extortion price.

le labo is a social experiment to see how much people will attribute quality and beauty to a fragrance just by seeing the price. not a single scent from theirs is unique, excelling at anything, game changing, and some (ambrette 9 for example) dont even last an hour? Is it the experience of getting these fragrances that makes it fun and worth it for you guys, or is it because you've seen so many tiktoks of people talking about le labo. Im definitely not bothered enough to hate on people who enjoy these fragrances, i dont necessarily hate most of them either. i dont think my taste in fragrance is better than anyone elses either. but i will say that you people are getting SCAMMED! None of le labo's fragrances have the artistry or complexity to warrant a 300 dollar price. maybe i just dont get it because i'm an anti minimalist person, but my favorite fragrances tend to be very simple so i dont know... Anyways have a nice day if you gaf
I like this brand for the same reason I like IKEA: they're problem-solvers. I have the same lid holder but in white, and it's made cooking so much more enjoyable since I don't have to improvise about what to do with the lid when I need to stir food. Little things like that make you feel like you're finally walking on cushy carpet after you'd been stepping barefoot on LEGO bricks all your life.
You should show the shoe more and not your face. You also didn’t talk about it right. Clearly showing off collection vs. giving value to ppl more.
I like your energy bro
I’ve had my RM Williams boots for 28years - look brand new still
You have to be kidding me. Heath are study and a classic look for sure, but they're not even handmade. And you know a few folks who could make you some truly special ceramics. JUST SAYING.
They look too big for you, What's the deal with sizing?
Should you buy a Rolex Submariner? Me: Yes because it's a beautiful historical, all-rounder watch and No because too expensive, too overhyped and the Waitlist 😁
If you have big melon (like me) the fit on these will be amazing. Everyone else may find them huge.
I was waiting for that banana comparision, thankgod I finally found this video I search across the internet for this iPad vs banana size comparison
I seriously love Barbour. I have been wearing my green Bedale for 3 years now. I also got a navy quilted vest and a green quilted summer jacket 2 years ago. And then recently I bought the navy wool Bedale and navy wool bomber in sale for both 50% off. Also, Barbour sweaters, knits and polo shirts are really great. The price is steep, but that's why I buy in the sale. Furthermore, if your looking for some casual t-shirts and hoodies then Barbour International is perfect.
The shop attendant gave me a free bottle 🥹
Mechanical watches have no useful purpose except being esthetically bling bling
I do agree with you.
Thanks for your review. I have a 2020 iPad Pro 12.9” and I will keep it. I use their Folio case. I ordered the 2024 11” iPad Pro with 512 GB. I’m thinking about taking it back after I receive it and ordering the 12.9”. I didn’t order it because it was $300 more. I want the 12.9” one so I can see it better. I can afford it but was just being cheap. If I buy the new pencil it will be just for taking notes.
Can we know your sizing if you don’t mind? I wear 41 in the CPs but wondering what size I should get for MM replica
