For when you want sun protection, not grease
I recently went on a beach vacation and did my best to follow all that I implore you to do (i.e. I covered myself in sunscreen). It was just a perfectly good sunscreen from the drug store, one that you likely used before yourself. I sprayed myself down, covered every inch. And then I stood…

This masculine scent from Dolce and Gabanna surprised me
I received a sample of Dolce and Gabbana Devotion for Men. I don’t review nearly enough men’s fragrances. I figured I would give it a little sniff. And then that turned into, I want that on me. There was something about it that didn’t scream overly masculine, as if I was trying hard to be…

Today’s reflection on traffic
I’ve noticed something. Based on traffic patterns in my city, it feels as if the rules have changed. Whether you are going straight or turning left, it now seems to be perfectly fine to go on red. That clearly is not true. But when enough people are doing a thing, it makes it seem normal.…

For the sneaker lover and kid at heart
It’s here. As a self proclaimed kid at heart and sneaker lover, it’s here. The LEGO x Nike collab. The two powerhouse companies have come together to create sneaker inspired build sets. This first drop will feature a white and blue Dunk with the basketball on logos to complete the work of art. If you…

Will it ever be too much?
The email came through, full of all the new brands launching. Instead of excitement I felt overwhelm. Still? More? How many more players do we need in the beauty market? Is there really space for every celebrity, former model, and influencer to start a line? At what point will the metaphorical e-comm shelves start caving…

We used to loathe uniforms
I remember a moment back when I was in school. The district wanted to move towards uniforms, to help cut down on bullying and limit dress code violations. There was public outcry. Students and parents vehemently protested against. What about free speech? Individuality? Choice? Ultimately, the people won out, and we never had to wear…

Can’t get knefah copycats
I had a little taste of the famous “Dubai” Chocolate bar from FIX Chocolatiers while I was in Austin for SXSW. Or rather, it was the “Can’t get knefah of it.” I enjoyed the crunch of the knafeh, but I didn’t have my life changed to the point of wanting to pay $20 plus shipping…

Don’t forget your beauty rest
It has been a long string of late nights, working, traveling, and generally goofing off. I find myself tired in the middle of the day, falling asleep on speakers, and generally feeling rough.. Perhaps the lack of sleep has freed up more time for me to be productive, but I’m wearing the effects of it…

A bit Chance (eau vive)
I sprayed on Chanel Chance eau vive before heading out the house for a grand opening event. I felt it was important that I be in the room, but I dreaded it. So many people, so many I don’t know, so much anxiety bubbling up. I made my way through the crowd to an open…

Tomorrow is a busy day
Tomorrow I’m going to start cooking my meals at home, instead of constantly getting takeout. I’m also going to start going to the gym. I’m going to start the productivity challenge. And I’m going to finally get around to tackling my to-do list. I’ve got a lot of stuff planned for tomorrow. I always do.…
