The new Starbucks and Delta connected rewards program is enticing, but…
Starting October 12, (well yesterday for me) Delta and Starbucks began offering users the ability to link their SkyMiles and Starbucks Rewards accounts to earn simultaneous rewards. Quick recap of the details: If you are already a member of either or both programs, you likely already are informed. And that is good, because I am…

Gasp! But the legacy of Balenciaga is being tarnished!
As I went through the Dior+Balenciaga exhibit at the Museum at FIT, the same concern arose. Would Cristobal Balenciaga be disappointed to see what Demna Gvalsia is doing in his name?

My visit to the Museum at FIT

Phluid Project Humanity: A quick fragrance review
Jumping right into the review. My first sniff of Phluid Project’s Humanity leaned heavy on the coconut and ginger in that order. Maybe there is something else. I sprayed it on at 10 AM. Taking transit at 11AM could still smell it through my mask. I hope no one was bothered. I shook it up…
