  • Cuir Zerzura by Armani Privé, reviewed

    In truth, this Cuir Zerzura from the Armani Privé line made me nervous. Based on the name alone, I knew it would have a leather note. Never in my life had I worn a leather fragrance, yet here we are… and I liked it. There’s something sophisticated about this fragrance. Perhaps it was the mandarin…

  • Normally all about the assumptions

    I was introduced to the book, The Four Agreements, during a major struggle in my life. I proceeded to read the literal agreements, and not the book they came from. My brother then insisted it is not the same, so I got the audio book. After several days of sitting stuck in city traffic, the…

  • Update: Hermès won their case against Mason Rothchild

    In a move that helped define the terms of trademarks in the metaverse, a judge awarded Hermès a victory in their case against Mason Rothchild for his MetaBirkin NFTs. What this means? I am personally pleased with the verdict. From my limited exploration, Rothchild was pretty much just selling Birkin bags for the virtual world.…

  • Move over Fendi, Panera also has a BAGuette purse

    In my email today, Panera told me I could get the hottest baguette. They have a line of toasted baguette sandwiches, but that wasn’t all they meant. The fast casual chain is running a giveaway as a promotion for their new trio of sandwiches. Guests who buy all three between February 7 and 13 will…

  • Trademark protection gets meta: Hermès sues creator of the MetaBirkin

    Hermès filed a lawsuit against Mason Rothschild. for his MetaBirkin NFTs. They say that it infringes on their trademark. He says its art. They’re both right. Technically. I keep covering these intellectual property cases because they fascinate me. They are not cut and dry. In this example, Rothschild has created an NFT, the MetaBirkin, which…

  • Did I get results using the Dior Capture Totale Cell Energy Super Potent Rich Crème?

    I just finished using the Dior Capture Totale Cell Energy Super Potent Rich Crème Sigh, I have to admit up front, I was not consistent using it. Over that period of time, I struggled with keeping to a good routine. I wasn’t even washing my face properly. I know. I am sorry to have disappointed…

  • What’s on the other side of lonely?

    The crippling anxiety and pain of rejection got to me. As a certified adult, I felt like the new kid in school and everyone else at the networking event already met their friend quota. All the cliques were closed for new membership. But as painful as that experience was for me, I can imagine the…

  • Makeup: making up excuses and making up my own path

    I am unequivocally an adult woman. And yet I never really gotten into makeup. This is not for some kind of philosophy against it. It is moreso that I just never tried it. And now, it seems scary, because it is one thing to make a mistake as a teenager. It is a whole different…
