A quick review of Phlur’s Phloria and a longer commentary on the brand itself
With a name like Phloria, I assumed this offering from Phlur would be very flower heavy. However, on my skin, I got a lot of the sandalwood coming forward initially. I enjoyed it, but is that just because I enjoy sandalwood? I don’t remember much of the citrus. I did think of this in comparison…

Just a friendly push
There is a lot of ideas I hoard, hoping for a better time to put them in action. There are dreams I have set aside because it just doesn’t make sense right now. And of course, I can wait to see that persona another time. But that is not true. These opportunities are not guaranteed…

Do I look like I can’t afford this?: Or how to lose a sale
On multiple occasions, when I have been looking at a particular product at a higher price point, I have had salespeople try and push me to the lower price alternative. That always seemed weird to me. Aren’t you supposed to upsell me? At the end, it made me think about their perceptions about me and…

Recently on my trip to Atlanta, I found myself just across from Phipps Plaza, one of the city’s luxury shopping destinations. I decided to go in and let myself admire things and window shop.

First impressions: Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Serum
I tried the Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Serum shortly after using the J Lo beauty serum. Needless to say I had low expectations. The JLo Beauty serum was not good for me, and I assumed it was because of the fermented ingredient. This serum also features a fermented ingredient, which to me meant it also…

If pretty were bottled as a fragrance: Monique Lhuillier review
I sprayed on Monique Lhuillier Eau de Parfum on myself and smelled like a pretty grown up. I smelled like the elegant woman who laughs candidly while holding a crystal wine glass at a fine dinner. Or while casually swinging a golf club with friends. Or while calling everyone to attention at the bridal lunch.…

Start small, like a puppy
Puppies. That is the first thing that came to my mind. I am just following today’s writing prompt. Now what to do with that. Puppies are baby dogs. Wow this is an amazing post. But they are also little rascals. They bite everything. Fall asleep everywhere. Tear holes in brand new shorts. But they grow…

Nobu Atlanta Hotel Review: In-room dining
I have already reviewed the room and gym at the Nobu Atlanta Hotel. Now it’s time to talk about the in-room dining experience. Being a Nobu property, you would be right to assume excellent food. Well, I did, I definitely went a bit overboard in ordering to try as much as I possibly could. Here…
