This delightful coffee shop was the highlight of my Chicago trip
“Are you okay if we go somewhere a little further out? It’s my favorite coffee shop.” With that kind of Chicago local seal of approval, I couldn’t refuse. I went with my friend to take the voyage to Bueno Days. It was well worth the journey. This Little Village establishment pairs an homage to Mexican…

Okay, about the food at the Fairmont Millenium Park
Yesterday, I wrote about my room at the Fairmont Millenium Park. It was fine, but I can’t see myself coming back, especially adding in my assessment of the food. Room Service Night one, I ordered a burger from room service. It’s been the standard that I use to judge all in-room dining services whenever possible.…

Quick review of the Fairmont Millennium Park
Months ago, I booked in for a stay at the Fairmont Millenium Park in Chicago. I wanted to try the brand for a while, with high hopes. I entered the property, noticing a rotunda decked out in warm wood, and I quickly went up to check out my room. I had booked a double, which…

Is this “skin drip” worth it?
Youth to the People and I have a strained relationship. The first product I tried from them was the Superfood Cleanser, which left my face so unbearably dry. I was leery of brand since then. But here I am now, with a bottle of their Skin Drip, giving them a second chance. Superfood Skin Drip…

Quick thoughts on Miutine, with a caveat
When my bottle of Miutine arrived in the mail, it smelled amazing. And by it, I mean the box, because at some point in the shipping process the glass bottle had shattered. I went in to Sephora to exchange for an intact bottle and tried again. I first tried this fragrance from Miu Miu in…

An underrated tip for last minute packers
I have fully accepted that I am a last minute traveler. It is something that I kinda want to change in pursuit of becoming a more organized person overall, but I am not fully committed to changing any time soon. I will keep this habit up, at least until the end of the year, but…

Last minute packing
It’s another late night of packing. I had planned (i.e. hoped) I wouldn’t be like this anymore. I kept telling myself that I will be the kind of traveler who has things organized in advance. That I will have a toiletry bag packed and ready to go. That I will be in bed before the…

The new man at Balmain
Almost as quickly as Olivier Rousteing announced his exit from Balmain, the brand announced Antonin Tron as his successor. I have no idea how they were able to keep the rumor mill at bay on this one, but good job to the brand for being able to announce both bits of news on its own…

Black Friday? Already?
Years ago, the phrase “Black Friday” sent shivers down some shoppers’ spines, as they remembered the stampede of 2008. Then slowly, the day began to extend into Thanksgiving, then the whole week, and now it seems the entire month. Black Friday is no longer so much of a day as it is a feeling I…
