Fresh out the gate here: 111Skin now my most favorite sheet mask brand for the simple fact that the mask itself adhered to my face. You might be thinking, “Uh yeah, that’s what they do.” Lies, that is not what face masks do. I am very used to having to go lie down somewhere to…

Ebene Fume: First impressions of this Tom Ford masterpiece
If you were to press me for a description when I first smelled Ébène Fumé, I would have said, “It smells like By the Fireplace but after it took a serious meditation retreat.” It has the smokiness, but it also has a calming woody note. I find it amazing, with my subpar sense of smell,…

Another NYC trip, another hotel review: Moxy Downtown NYC
When I booked the Moxy, I was excited. I had been toying with booking a different hotel, but I was intrigued by the quirky vibe. Plus the conference I was attending offered a discount. Upon checking in, I was provided a drink coupon for the hotel bar. Heading up to the 3rd floor, I saw…

Revealing boundaries
Yesterday, I had a phone call with a friend. I asked, “Hey have you checked out my blog?” Crickets. Then as she started to scroll through, she asked if I would be willing to take requests. And then she asked if I could write about boundaries. So here goes I have none. Quick blog post,…
