  • Ojai Valley Inn Room Review

    I had the extraordinary pleasure of staying at the Ojai Valley Inn in November. Now that it is the holiday season, I can only imagine what the experience would be like now. My experience there was a part of a larger conference, which means that I can’t give a full review of the property, but…

  • Discipline as an act of self-love

    In the hopes of getting a head start on the rest of the world who will wait until January, I decided I would start working on my health and fitness goals now. Except I don’t really feel like it. All I really want to do is lie about eating cookies, watching YouTube videos I won’t…

  • Couvant review: This restaurant in The Eliza Jane is worth a try

    If you happen to stay at the Eliza Jane, you are likely to need food at some point. Perhaps your easiest meal option is the one that is basically right below your room, Couvant.

  • The Eliza Jane: A great hotel option in New Orleans

    The Eliza Jane is a hotel with character. It is straight up gorgeous. I walked in for my registration during December.

It was so beautiful, I even spotted a local family taking their professional portraits there.…

  • A reflection on the metaverse, from someone who is bad at tech

    As a late-adopter to all things tech,  I have a knee jerk reaction to the push to dive more into the metaverse. It seems like an escape from the present physical world. Why can’t people step away from their computers and really live? And then I had to stop myself and recall how fun it…

  • Makeup in the Metaverse?: Nars’s new Power Players

    How do you translate makeup, something so personal and tactical, to the digital world? By creating your own avatars, it seems. Nars has debuted three “meta-humans,” all inspired the best-selling shades of Nars’s Powermatte Lipstick: Dragon Lady, Too Hot To Handle, and American Woman. These avatars, the Power Players, each have blossoming careers and serious…

  • Skincare for men? Lab Series Max LS Cleanser

    This was new cleanser for me to try, but I’m not sure I am the best person to test it out. It is the Lab Series Cleanser for men. I am not a man. But I have a face, so hopefully that will be enough for now. I have to say that I used this…

  • Finally trying the much hyped Delina by Parfums de Marly

    This fragrance is so hyped, that I just had to know what it smelled like. When I first sprayed it, I thought, “Oh no, another over hyped fragrance that I won’t like.” Then it settled, and I found myself enjoying it. I think I have only eaten rhubarb twice in my life, actively smelled it…
