What does Cricket Song smell like?
I’m drawn to fragrance names. Just by what I read alone, I’ll give myself a little spray before doing my research. With a name like Cricket Song, I had no idea what to expect from this Floraiku fragrance. If I had stopped to think, I would have probably thought of something vegetal, or perhaps the…

Use every tool
I told her what I was dealing with. It was a complaint about a job and how I was doing there. But instead of commiserating, she made a suggestion. Something just didn’t seem right. Maybe it was time I talked to someone. It was the kind of suggestion that initially might have made me feel…

Running out of ideas
To be a good writer, you can’t just write. You need something to write about. You need to read. You need to experience life. You need to have conversations. Words don’t just flow from nothing. You need to build a source from which you can draw. I have drained by source, and I have given…

If I were Gianni Infantino, I’d think I had a crisis on my hands. I would be highly cognizant that there are cries around the world calling be corrupt. As the leader of FIFA, I would see that as a problem that takes away trust in our ability to steward the world’s game. But I…

That little dog
When Paris Hilton hit the scene, it was with her iconic spoiled chihuahua. Oh to be that pampered dog, living a life of luxury of being fully provided for without having to lift a finger, or rather a paw at all. It is as enviable a life, if not moreso, as its ultra-rich owners’. Truthfully,…

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…

Repeating myself
I was consistently frustrated. I complained to anyone who would listen just how often I had to repeat myself to that woman. Meeting after meeting, I had to same the thing multiple times before it got through. What seemed obvious to me need explaining for reasons I couldn’t understand. Then, just to prove myself and…

This should be your summer fashion staple
It is hot outside, and the Earth is only getting hotter. And yet, there you are, attempting to look professional in your wool suit, tie, and long sleeves. It is time to let that go. Set your sweat ducts free and move towards more breathable fabrics. Can I suggest linen? I am personally an outsized…
