It’s all starting to look the same
The ad started to play. A woman in a luxe home with soft lighting, slowly stretching. I had no idea which brand it was until the name came across the screen at the end. And then another ad played, with calm music, a luxe setting. “Ah, this must be …” And no it wasn’t. The…

A trip the Augustinus Bader spa
Nestled in Soho is the Augustinus Bader Skin Lab NYC. You just have to find it first. I walked up and down Greene Street certain that my maps had misdirected me. There is no sign on the door. You just have to trust your directions. Finally, I approached the shop at the address and greeted…

Quick try of Book by Commodity Fragrances
It was one of those days that I wanted to get my productivity going. I needed a scent to turn my mind to work. I looked to Book – Personal from Commodity. Surely, it would take me to those studious days, when I was focused and in the zone, ready to complete my projects. It’s…

Repeating myself

Short and sweet
I have a goal to write everyday. Ideally, every post would be well focused on a topic, building on a clear plan for content that unfolds over the week and month. Unfortunately, that just isn’t how things work all the time. Especially today. But in times like this, I take solace in the work of…

You don’t have dry skin
As I laid on the spa table, I started to tell the aesthetician about my skin. “I have dry skin.” She brought over light and magnifying class and started examining my skin. “I don’t think you have dry skin.” I was assuring her it might have looked that way because I was using some stellar…

French Leather by Memo Paris, not what I expected
I sprayed French Leather from Memo Paris on to my wrist and braced myself. I expected leather, a scent that would not at all go well in this summer heat. That is a reasonable expectation based on the name. However, the fragrance is more nuanced. It is lighter, more floral. Dare I say, pretty. If…
