Make sure you always try your fragrances out on your skin
I was at Sephora, sniffing fragrances. There was a woman who was asking the Beauty Adviser about smaller travel sizes. The lady told her they didn’t have any, but she could buy the full bottle. So, she thought about buying a full bottle of Tom Ford Bitter Peach. When the Beauty Adviser walked away, I…

Just one bad customer service experience…
It was my first time in that department store. I had heard they were running a beauty event. I was there before I went off to go to work. I walked around eager to be helped. No one would make eye contact with me. No one interacted with me. It was heartbreaking. I wondered if…

Skylar fragrances review: Salt Air and Vanilla Sky

Traffic gives me a lot of time to think. Mostly about how horrible everyone else is as a driver. As I approached the interchange, traffic slowed. Everything was backed up as people tried to switch lanes. Often times, they hold up multiple lanes as they tried to switch from the left most lane over 4…

The creator gives you a list of things you should never wear, that you shouldn’t wear, or just flat out, “Don’t.” I hate those videos. When someone puts together a…

(Very) quick thoughts on quiet luxury trend
Sources are claiming that there is a return of “quiet luxury.” After seasons of logomania, brands are switching gears and taking a much more subtle approach. Instead of an obvious logo, you’ll see signature colors and designs. The logos that do appear are less obvious, more artistic, and kind of “if you know, you know,”…

Today on things I discovered: Gucci Golf Balls
Don’t ask why I was scrolling through the Gucci site, just know that I was on there. I noticed they had a sporting goods section. And I found out you can get a golf ball carrier that holds 4 golf balls. It is not entirely clear to me if it just has space to hold…

Thinking about size inclusivity on the runway
Vogue Business analyzed size inclusivity on the runway for Fall/Winter 23. There was reduced number of midsize and plus size models during this past Fashion month compared to last year. (Straight size sizes 0-8, midsize 10-14, plus size 16 and up. Most runway shows feature sizes 2 and 4.) I tend to have mixed feelings…

Go ahead, give Supergoop a try if you’re looking for a clean sunscreen
You already know that you should be wearing sunscreen everyday, right? Good. Personally, I have been using Supergoop for some time now. I found it while looking for “clean” products and decided to give the brand a try. Here is a quick review of a few of their products, from the perspective of my dry…
