How to Perform Better in Bed with SHEEX

With the holidays hovering ever closer, we are putting SHEEX high on the list of gifts to give for everyone: parents, in-laws, siblings and partners. Even if those peeps aren’t necessarily athletic, these sheets will become their new favorites; taking them from cozy winter nights to hot and humid summer slumbering.

Imagine sheets that are made from the same quick-drying, temperature regulating and silky soft fabric as your technical athletic wear. Yes, that comfortable and breathable.

And don’t think we haven’t thought about their brilliance while bonking. You can go on an all night lust filled bender and not end up in a sweaty cuddle puddle by sunrise. Now do we have your attention?

SHEEX is the world’s first performance bedding line. Unlike traditional sheets, SHEEX fabric releases trapped body heat, keeping you cooler than traditional sheets. This leads to a more regulated body temperature while you sleep, providing cooler, better, more rejuvenating sleep. Not to mention the sheets are moisture wicking and ridiculously silky smooth. We have been using them for several weeks and we have noticed our sleep quality improve dramatically (editors note: being half Greek, I am a sweat machine, so these are my new savior).

How often do you wake up with a wet pillow in the middle of the night? Gross. Not with SHEEX. They hold a unique position fusing technology, sleep, wellness and style for the performance lifestyle. Founded by former coaches and athletes, they are the first patented performance fabric bedding powered by SLEEP-FIT Technology™.

Want double the luxury and breathability? Keep your gym shorts for the gym and check out SHEEX Performance Sleepwear. They have designed a whole range of cool, dry and comfortable pieces from PJ pants and shorts to short sleeve tees and even a hoodie that we couldn’t take off all weekend lounging around the house.

Ever wonder what a tailgate party is? Learn how to throw this fan-favorite bonding event

When you hear of a tailgate party, you probably think of college football games where people go crazy in the parking lot. While that is a probable scenario, tailgating is so much more than cracking open a beer in the back of someone's truck waiting for the event to start. It brings fans together in a way only those types of events can do. What is a tailgate party? Here are the ins and outs of this tradition and how to enjoy being a part of one.
The tailgating details

Tailgating is a large gathering of fans before a big event like a concert, festival, or sports game. It wouldn't be a tailgating party without music, games, food, and drinks, using the tail (also known as the boot or trunk) of your car to hold everything. Sounds a little like an ancient feast or something, doesn't it? If you have a large family that throws a party for every occasion, it's like taking that and putting it in a parking lot.
Where you tailgate
To throw a tailgating party, you need space. You need room for all the cars, so you can't do it somewhere like downtown with only one-way streets. Tailgating parties happen in parking lots or open fields connected to the event the people are there for.

The first tailgate party was noted as being in 1869, which was during a Rutgers and Princeton college football game that they battled out in New Jersey. Today, you couldn't imagine going to a football game or concert without at least a small tailgating party happening beforehand. If you have tickets to a big event and want to make it a social experience to remember, pack up all of your tailgating essentials, and then check out this list of do's and don'ts — here's how to tailgate the right way so everyone wins.
Tailgating starting point

How do you tailgate for the first time?
It's all about the prep work if it is your first tailgate. Stick to the do's, keep a positive attitude, and be happy that you get to see your favorite band or team play, and it will be nothing but an awesome time. It's all about the energy you put out there, whether you are the point person or just bringing the ice. Tailgating parties are a community event, so jump in and be a contributing part of it.
How does tailgating work?
Tailgating works best when you not only follow social do's, but remember the don'ts. It isn't only about eating and drinking and then going to watch the game. To tailgate so everyone has fun, keep in mind you are with a group, and you all have to work together for it to work. It's sort of like a group project in school, everyone has something to bring to the table. Whether you're the grill master or in charge of the playlist, your job is important for the whole event to run smoothly.

Wait, Robert Downey Jr. is making how much to return to Marvel?
Robert Downey Jr.'s Marvel pay has netted him half a billion dollars.

It's fair to say that, since Robert Downey Jr. left the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the franchise has fallen on some hard times. Avengers: Endgame was one of the highest grossing movies in box office history, but since then, Marvel's box office dominance has faltered as they have added television to their lineup and flooded the market with more stuff than even die-hard fans can keep up with.

That's why the news that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to Marvel to play Doctor Doom was met with such a major uproar. The news that he would be returning as the character, and that Joe and Anthony Russo would be coming back to direct, was a strategic retreat for Marvel, moving them back onto the safe ground that has worked for them in the past.
