Cascadia Terroir Mustach Wax


             This time of year, when the sun is out, so am I! The smell of the blooming flowers and chirping birds always bring a smile to my bearded face. Lunch downtown with a walk through the market hand in hand with my love. It was not however a great mustache day! It did not want to cooperate. The wax I had applied that morning was no longer doing the trick. Just as my frustration was hitting its peak a gentleman behind a booth complimented me on my 'stache. I looked over to say thank you and there in front of him was a canister of mustache wax! As we chatted he offered up the can and a small blade to scrape out some wax. As I was applying it I couldn’t help but wonder who Cascadia Terroir is and what they are about.

                Cascadia Terroir, out of Olympia Washington, provides fine wild crafted products from all over the Cascadia region. They are doing things by their own ethics and standards. That means using only local farmers, co-ops and markets. They hope by doing this they will stimulate the local economy and reduce their ecological footprint. They use their own stills and produce everything right here in the Pacific Northwest! 

               Cascadia Terroir produces many things from essential oils to balms, perfumes and deodorants. Most of these items can be found at the Olympia Farmers Market in downtown Olympia, but also online through Cascadia Terroir’s website.

               The brand artwork is clever and clean. The wax has a clean fresh scent to it and is all natural which is a huge plus. The wax is made up of bee’s wax, cocoa butter, pine resin, olive oil, and Douglas fir essential oil for scent. It took a minute to warm up enough to apply but was not oily or gritty once melted. I applied it to my mustache and instantly felt the hold! It was awesome! My handlebars were easy to form and the wax dried clear with a strong hold that lasted the rest of the day.

               I feel this is a great natural product that’s worth the money. It has a strong hold that truly enhanced the look and feel of my handlebar mustache. When it comes to price it is in line with some of the major brands out there so in this case buying local isn’t going to gouge your wallet. Have yourself an adventure downtown to the market and make a stop at the Cascadia Terroir booth and see what they have!

Thats some good Mustache Wax!

               Over the summer I found out that not all mustache waxes are created equally! Not even by the same manufacturer. This being my first summer with a majestic mustache, or so I am told, I was not prepared for the heat and humidity. On a lunch stroll through downtown Olympia my fiancé and I walked into Archibald Sisters . I was having a bad mustache day and was so frustrated, I was contemplating starting over. I stumbled across Fisticuffs Mustache Wax tester in their shop.                First thing I noticed was the awesome container it comes in. Besides the cool label, its compact and fits in my pocket perfectly. It comes in a variety of scents, I prefer the Bay Rum. It’s a light refreshing scent that is not over powering. The wax itself has a light, clean feeling and melts easily in your fingers for application. What I appreciate most about this wax is that i...

Well 80's "Olympias Best Mustache Contest" 2018

My kids are offended with my mustache! They get irritated with random people chatting me up over my ‘stache in the grocery store, picking them up from school, or even walking around downtown Olympia. One of the things they are always saying is why do people keep asking you if you compete? I never really thought about competing, my ‘stache was requested by my fiancé and also I had no idea about how competing works. Luckily for me a local spot, Well 80 , in Olympia decided to put on “Olympias Best Mustache Contest”, November 30, 2018.                I decided to enter! I take meticulous care of my moustache, it was looking pretty great that night. Upon arriving about an hour and half before the competition and the spot was packed. Butterflies were in full effect, good thing they have great drinks. I was handed a piece of paper to fill out with questions like, “What’s your mustaches name”, “what’s its super power”...

Hash on the Westside

In addition to good bourbon, I love a great breakfast spot! Unfortunately, there are few real breakfast joints in town. Luckily for us a new spot opened in West Olympia called Hash . Hash opened up over the summer and has been packed ever since! The menu is simple and has something for everyone, including kids, and offers several vegan plates. We went in for Sunday breakfast around 10:30 am and the restaurant was packed with many names on the waiting list. We sat outside and enjoyed the summer sun until our table was ready. The staff were polite and quick. Once seated we got our drinks and looked over the menu. The smells and atmosphere was chill. As we pondered over what to order a huge piece of cornbread delivered to our table! It was interesting, almost like a cornbread cake with strawberry whipped butter. We decided on our orders; the Mojado Burrito and the Traditional Benedict. The Mojado Burrito is a wheat tortilla full of scrambled eggs, applewood smoked ham, green chi...
