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…

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…

So I walked into a high end department store
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. And while I was at it, I allowed myself a little skincare treat, because I had forgotten my moisturizer at home.…

Breakfast at Nobu?
Yes, the famed sushi restaurant is open for breakfast as well. (Well, some of the locations are.) The menu is of course different, but it still has the Nobu flare. During my experience at Nobu Atlanta I decided to order the Breakfast Roll. With the reputation of the restaurant, I sincerely thought this was going…

Is Nobu Atlanta worth the hype?
If you are foodie at any level, you likely have heard of Nobu. That mecca of sushi opened its doors in Atlanta, and I wanted to try it. I made reservations at the hotel, however I couldn’t get a reservation at the restaurant. (Based on the hotel booking page, they have since made it so…

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…
