  • Adding this mist from Aman to my wish list

    Scrolling the product pages, as I often do, I came a cross a product from Aman that caught my eye. The first reason being that I know the brand as the super luxurious chain of hotels. The second reason is because I am obsessed with finding a face mist for myself these days. Aman Nourishing…

  • The perfect fragrance for lazy mornings

    I just wanted to stay in bed all day. The perfect fragrance was of course Lazy Sunday Morning by Maison Margiela Replica. It is a clean scent, calling to mind the freshly washed sheets that I couldn’t seem to remove myself from. It’s aldehydic, laundry, floral, soft, and gentle. Lazy Sunday Morning eau de toilette…

  • This is nice

    I looked up from my computer mid-work session. Distraction comes in the form of the random stacks of papers that I will definitely need. The piles of laundry waiting patiently for their turn in the washer. The trash that needs to be taken out. And of course, the non-existent to-do list because I never found…

  • Just a plastic cup

    I decided to pop over to Starbucks to get some work done. A table and wifi in the middle of a busy morning seemed like a good idea. But then I pulled up, noticing the typically abandoned parking lot, buzzing with activity. Alas, it is Red Cup Day. Each Red Cup Day, Starbucks provides a…

  • (Don’t) take the trip

    You finally planned the vacation, but something just doesn’t feel right. And it isn’t just your standard nerves. There is something nagging you. You keep trying to push it down and continue to plan details, but there it is again, just right when you were picking out hotels. Listen, I have spent the last couple…

  • What the Louvre heist has to do with you

    In latest episode episode of The Glossy Podcast, Danny Parisi interviews Sarah Davis, co-founder of Fashionphile. They spoke about how the heist at the Louvre might shift how luxury brands view their security.

  • My truth about solo travel

    Last year when I stayed at the Villa Copenhagen, I made sure to visit the gym to do a well-rounded review. I was set to take pictures of the layout, but there was a problem. There was another woman there working out. I felt self-conscious and certainly didn’t want to capture someone else unawares in…

  • An underated suggestion for your Sephora sale cart

    Hear me out. I know you’re going for all the limited edition, always on your wish list items for this season’s Sephora Savings Event. But let’s get practical: How about some deodorant. I know, I know, it’s not fun. But you need it anyway why not save on it, especially if you have move towards…

  • Another side of freedom, or rather Libre from YSL

    This past Tuesday was Election Day in the U.S. As I thought about what the scent of the day would be, the obvious choice was Libre. Given that it means Free, evoking the American value of freedom. But I didn’t go with the original. I decided to wear Libre Flowers and Flames. If you already…

  • Unnecessary superpowers

    There is a scene in the Bourne Identity where Jason Bourne points out all of the different elements he notices in the diner, including the location of all exits and the possible threats. I have a similar ability. I notice and anticipate others’ needs. Walking in to a coffee shop, I can point out all…
