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…

The trouble with tourists, I say being one of them
I was told that we had to see it. It was a now bonified landmark. The windiest road in the world: Lombard Street. That was a possible exaggeration, but the fact remained that it was a must-see I needed to add to my San Francisco trip. And therein lay the problem. When we got there,…

Let me see myself in your brand: The business case for representation.
If you are into makeup, you probably have noticed much larger shade ranges these days.

Don’t ask why I was scrolling through the Gucci site, just know that I was on there. I noticed they had a sporting goods section. And I found out you can get a golf ball carrier that holds 4 golf balls. It is not entirely clear to me if it just has space to hold…
