Breakfast at Nobu?
Yes, the famed sushi restaurant is open for breakfast as well. (Well, some of the locations are.) The menu is of course different, but it still has the Nobu flare. During my experience at Nobu Atlanta I decided to order the Breakfast Roll. With the reputation of the restaurant, I sincerely thought this was going…

Is Nobu Atlanta worth the hype?
If you are foodie at any level, you likely have heard of Nobu. That mecca of sushi opened its doors in Atlanta, and I wanted to try it. I made reservations at the hotel, however I couldn’t get a reservation at the restaurant. (Based on the hotel booking page, they have since made it so…

First impressions: Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Serum
I tried the Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Serum shortly after using the J Lo beauty serum. Needless to say I had low expectations. The JLo Beauty serum was not good for me, and I assumed it was because of the fermented ingredient. This serum also features a fermented ingredient, which to me meant it also…

If pretty were bottled as a fragrance: Monique Lhuillier review
I sprayed on Monique Lhuillier Eau de Parfum on myself and smelled like a pretty grown up. I smelled like the elegant woman who laughs candidly while holding a crystal wine glass at a fine dinner. Or while casually swinging a golf club with friends. Or while calling everyone to attention at the bridal lunch.…

Start small, like a puppy
Puppies. That is the first thing that came to my mind. I am just following today’s writing prompt. Now what to do with that. Puppies are baby dogs. Wow this is an amazing post.

Nobu Atlanta Hotel Review: The gym
This might seem odd to have an entire post dedicated to the gym at the Nobu Atlanta Hotel. Well, you only think that because you haven’t been there. As someone who has been to quite a few hotels of late, this place is far above any others I have seen. I have included the full…

Nobu Hotel Atlanta Review: The room
When I finally made it to the Nobu Atlanta Hotel, the experience inside was serene. I was greeted at the front desk with an oshiburi towel, a hot towel that smelled of lemongrass and calmed my stress trying to find the place. Check-in went very smoothly, the women working the desk were friendly and ready…

Nobu Atlanta Hotel Review: Getting there
This is the start on my series on my experience at the Nobu Hotel in Atlanta. Let’s start with even getting there. You of course have multiple options, depending on how you decide to get to the city. If you are coming from the airport, this location is roughly 30 minutes aware by car. If…

It’s springtime and my eyes are puffy. Here is how well this depuffing mask worked for me
I previously sang the praises of 111Skin on this blog. Big fan of the biocellulose they use to make the masks, particularly the anti-maskne one. I previously tried their Cryo Depuffing Facial Mask and decided that today was the day to try it again. Cryo depuffing facial mask $32 for one mask, $135 for 5…
