Are the Peace Out Acne Dots right for you? (based on my quick review)
While I had multiple careers in mind as a child, the one thing I wanted to be in my future profession was confident. I would have a power pink blazer, stand in front of the board room, and own the meeting. Now as an adult, I can say I still have a lot of work…

Let Montale’s Arabian Tonka take you on a fragrant journey
As a child, I thoroughly enjoyed picking up books by Christopher Lloyd. He wrote fantasy that I just go lost in. One of his tales of adventure and renewal was The Three Lives of Lukas Kasha. It takes place a world away from where I was that fateful summer. It was a story of a…

The clutter I hold on to
My anxiety increases each time I see the clutter. I know that I need to do a deep clean, but I keep putting it off. I pushed back doing a closet cleanout until I completed a fitness challenge. Then, I never completed it. I put off getting rid of the old school work because I…

Dolce & Gabbana goes all black for Fall-Winter 2023/2024
Dolce & Gabbana debuted their menswear line for Fall-Winter 2023/2024. It was just black, with pops of color from grey and white. To call them pops of color is a bit much.

Musings on croissants, Paris, and Louis Vuitton
Croissants are a treat I love making. Maybe it’s the desire to be a real baker, one who uses just her hands and muscle to knead the dough without equipment. Maybe it is just because there is no substitute for the buttery flakiness when they’re fresh out of the oven. As much as I enjoy…

Adidas loses their trademark case, and now I am reflecting on what I lose focusing on others
A little while back, I wrote about Adidas Groups suit of Thom Browne, on the grounds that the luxury brand was infringing on their Signature Three Stripes. In that post, my thoughts were that it didn’t seem reasonable that consumers would be confused. With Adidas diehards looking specifically for the correct number of stripes and…

Honeysuckle fragrances to honor my favorite flower of my childhood
I remember the honeysuckle bushes that used to grow around the field of my elementary school. During play times, we would stop and pull the stamens from the slower to enjoy that tiny drop of sweetness. Later, I would relish the flowers in my neighborhood as well. Perhaps us kids got carried away with our…

Today’s review: Pure Shots Night Reboot Resurfacing Serum by YSL. I tried this over a period of a few days. The very first day I tried it, I had some major acne on the bottom half of my face. After I had already committed to trying this product, I did think maybe it was not…

Quick thoughts on the new Tom Ford Electric Cherry and Cherry Smoke
Let’s get to the point. I get really excited whenever there is a new Tom Ford fragrance release. I ran (drove) down to Sephora to try the newest releases, Electric Cherry and Cherry Smoke. Sigh, they didn’t have it, but more on that later. Nordstrom did have it, so I was able to smell both.…

Even with a billion dollars
Today’s bloganuary prompt: If you had a billion US dollars, how would you spend it? To be honest, when I first read that, I immediately thought, “If I were given a billion dollars, I would probably waste it.” I don’t mean that I would go on a crazy spending spree and end up bankrupt somehow.…
