  • My stay at the Hotel Indigo Downtown Athens + The need to speak up about your experience

    When I think of college towns, I can tell you I don’t think hotels, especially boutique hotels. But with all of the activity that happens on campus (sporting events, speaker series, graduations, etc.) it makes sense to have somewhere for everyone to stay. That leads us to my review of the Hotel Indigo-Athens. To start,…

  • Lululemon would like you to hand over your dupes

    More specifically, I can report that Lululemon is doing a swap. Those who come out to the Century City Mall on May 6 and 7, 2023 can bring their dupes for the popular Lululemon Align pant and receive an genuine pair. They are confident in the quality of their product and want people to experience…

  • What exactly is dermaplaning? Here are a few things you should know.

    You might know dermaplaning as the new craze for smoother skin. In truth it began decades ago with a focus on the treatment of acne and scars and now is also used to help with the absorption of certain topical medications. Once a treatment only offered by medical professionals, literally anyone can do the practice…

  • That one time I went to the Byredo store

    While in Atlanta, I was walking through Phipps Plaza and decided to wander into the Byredo store. I was greeted when I walked in. There was another woman in there who was picking up an order. She raved about the candles. I for my part wanted to just smell everything. At the counter, the associate…

  • I don’t fail, and that’s a problem.

    When my family would play monopoly, I would quit the game when my financial situation became dicey. If I didn’t believe I had enough money to cover the likely rent or payments, I would walk away from the game. This is probably amazing financial insight for a child, but there’s more to it. I didn’t…

  • Maybe dupes aren’t as bad as I thought

     It questioned whether Gen Z’s love of dupes was a problem for luxury brands. I The examples used were the viral dupes for a Bottega Veneta bag and a pair of Celine sunglasses. The question then was whether or not this would hurt those brands. If Gen Z goes with the less expensive alternative, is…

  • Are those viral TikToks true? Are luxury handbags actually not worth much at all?

    They have gone viral tearing apart luxury handbags. You know them. Those leather craftsman on TikTok who have made it their mission to let you know that that Chanel bag you thought you wanted save for is only really worth $100 at best. They say these things aren’t worth the price tag. But is that…

  • 1 star reviews can actually be a good thing

    One thing that I absolutely hate is when people leave 1 star reviews for products that they have never bought. Or that they bought and don’t like, through no fault of the product. Like the person who bought regulation soccer shorts and hated they had no pockets. The shorts were designed specifically to fit within…

  • The beauty of in-store shopping: Or what would get me in store

    People love online shopping. I like online shopping. It is convenient. You can look at multiple options while binging Netflix and with unpresentable hair. But you can’t touch anything. And after years of being fearful of touching, I want to touch something. Not to mention, I, like I imagine others do, want what I want…

  • Is a premium dermaplaning tool better than a budget option?

    Dermaplaning. Maybe you have heard of it. Maybe you have already done it and are a pro at this yourself. In either case, I was not familiar with it, until I decided to try the products here today. I got suckered in to trying the Stacked Skincare dermaplane tool during a sale. It had been…
