Gatorade changed this one thing about their coolers
I worked a sporting event and noticed a special tag on the new Gatorade cooler. The Dunk Hydration Cooler, with “Gatorade Dunk Handles, made to balance the cooler while celebrating victories.” Of course, when Gatorade first started making coolers, it was to (ahem) hold Gatorade. The key feature of the design was the spigot that…

Quick thoughts on this eye serum from Agent Nateur
It was only a sample packet. Just a taste of what the holi (glow) ageless eye and lip serum from Agent Nateur could do for my eyes. With just that little taste, I’m intrigued. I was only able to use this product for a few days, so this will only be a first impressions post.…

When I smell Jazz Club
Imagine a distinguished gentleman, nursing a high ball glass of his favorite liquor, as the saxophonist’s melody heals his soul. This, I imagine, is the scene Maison Margiela Replica hopes to evoke with Jazz Club. To me, this scent is undeniably masculine and refined. It smells like a man in the best way. It’s not…

Timers and timers
At some point, I don’t know how, I happened upon an interval timer website. It was a godsend as a decided to do my work using it. After 15 minutes, I would take a break to scroll the websites I wanted and then get back in it the next 15-minute block started. I would play…

The Alderman was …
It was a bright spot in a relatively undesireable hotel stay. The Alderman is tucked away inside the Hilton Motto Hotel in New York City. I was honestly surprised by the presence of a restaurant and bar in a lower priced hotel. But there it was, there to support me with my food needs. On…

Regrettable hotel choice

I may never willingly stay at this hotel again
You know how people will say expensive hotels are a waste because all you really need is just a bed? All you’re going to do is just sleep there and then you’re out all day. I thought I’d found the perfect hotel just for that: Hilton Motto Times Square in New York City. The room…

So you want to go to New York in a snowstorm
My trip this past weekend to New York City was the ultimate in winter travel to the area. After years of being spoiled by mild temperatures, I finally got a taste of what the season can really be like in the Big Apple. A huge snowstorm came through the area, and I found myself in…

The winter lip balm mistake you can avoid
New year, new me. To demonstrate my dedication to getting fit, I started going on on walks now in the dead of winter. So of course, I wanted to hydrate my lips. Mistake. As the cold air hit my face, I could feel my super glossy lips starting to stick together. I could see the…

Loewe perfumes first impressions
Loewe had a pop-up in New York City. It was their first ever perfumes pop-up in the U.S., so I had to be there. I made my way the final week, through a massive snowstorm to the location in Rockefeller Center. Despite the bitter cold and dirty snow outside, inside was an oasis. Corrugated, deep…
