Le Male Elixir is certainly a powerful fragrance
I recall smelling someone wearing Le Male by Jean Paul Gautier and being the person asking, “What fragrance are you wearing?” As a result, my hopes were high as I tried the Le Male Elixir. Oh buddy, not the same experience. The first spray was overwhelming and instant regret. I was glad I wasn’t planning…

I am a great storyteller
I was doomed at work because I had made mistakes, that I would continue to make, and would be found out for not being qualified. And then ultimately, I would be let go. Or at least that is the story I had been telling myself. I had constructed the story, with the inspiration of minor…

Too much celebrity?
I popped in to watch the live stream of the Louis Vuitton men’s show. The live chat was already going. S. Jackson! Jackson! Jackson! Viewers were clamoring for Jackson Wang, just to get view of him heading into the show or seated first row. I can’t be sure if they were there for the clothes…

While traveling, I realized that I had completely forgot to bring moisturizer. Being right across from a shopping center, I decided it was the best time for me to try out some new face masks. And I certainly splurged in doing so by trying the Cle de Peau Intensive Brightening Mask. I used the product…

This lighter version Love Don’t Be Shy was what I needed
I remember when I first tried Love Don’t Be Shy, it was off putting. It was so fragrant that it was overpowering, and I was happy when it finally dried down and started to dissipate. It seems the house of Kilian created this eau fraiche version just for me. Love Don’t Be Shy Eau Fraiche…

You don’t have to keep that
You know, you don’t have to eat that.” I had been struggling to finish the failed recipe for fear of wasting food. “Here, just turn around, I will throw it out for you.” While I’m not advocating for you to start wasting food, there is something to that. It is okay to get rid of…

It’s okay to rest
I have had a hectic week and don’t have any topics to write about today. So I will leave you with this instead. It is okay to take the time to heal your body and mind. It is okay to prioritize making yourself whole before you start giving pieces to someone else. Therefore, it is…
