Expensive doesn’t equal durable
Okay, this my final reflection on the Van Cleef and Arpels drama. I just have this last thing to say.

A quick stay at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry
Roughly two months ago, I went to Miami, or Aventura to be exact. I stayed at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort and Spa. The place was full of people likely escaping their cold weather at home, people conferencing, and people there just to show off their fancy sports cars. I was there to see…

Okay, Dyson. You got me.
