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…

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…

It shouldn’t be this hard
It shouldn’t be this hard. I bemoaned, yet again, the same woes. Because it took me longer to do the task, because I was distracted easily, because it was hard to get out of bed, because I can’t just wake up and go, powered and directed just by passion and goals. My struggle was a…
