I like this luxury hand cream from Dior. However,…
Imagine this. You are a logo obsessed luxury consumer with perpetually dry hands. What do you do? Why, you buy the Dior Le Baume of course. Okay, coming clean, I am not logo obsessed. I’m just really curious about skincare. This moisturizer is touted as a cream that can do it all, for hands, lips,…

Soap? From Dior?
Previously on fragrance reviews with A Wren Says, I fell in love with the Dioriviera sent from Dior’s La Collection Privée. The summery scent quickly won me over, making me think that perhaps fig is one of my favorite notes. You can only imagine then my excitement when I noticed the brand stocked the scent,…

Day 1, again
There are far too many pages in my journals that start with “Day 1.” You’ll see it there on the first page, then in five more pages it will come around again. And then twenty pages in, when I’m sure I really will keep going, it’s there yet again. It’s like I keep pressing the…

Another celebrity weight loss ad
Of all the celebrities promoting weight loss products, I never thought I’d add a professional athlete to that list. However, scrolling through YouTube, I learned that Serena Williams has recently come out to promote Ro, a GLP-1 used for weight loss. Because of her story, it changes the game. With her years of hard workouts…

It’s a love story…
This is the kind of good news I need in my world right now. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. The Swifties are excited, but also a little concerned. For an artist who has had breakout hits following big breakups, could a happily ever after damage her brand? It’s an interesting question. Personally, I…

The collab I didn’t see coming: Crocs plus hand sanitizer
Scrolling all the new releases at Sephora, I saw a very odd sight. Touchland, the hand sanitizer spray that your favorite beauty influencer probably keeps in her “favorites” –just partnered with Crocs. What? Now, you can take that already aesthetically designed spray hand sanitizer and adorn it with all of your little Jibbitz. The idea…

More people in the room
Today I was catching up on old episodes of the Glossy podcast. During the episode, the two hosts were talking about the recent American Eagle “Good Jeans” controversy. As journalists initially covering the campaign, they were excited by the new angle that American Eagle was taking. The brand switched up its old patterns of using…

This lightweight moisturizer from Thrive surprised me.
If I were one of those old-timey explorers out on quests, one of mine would certainly be for a basic moisturizer. Something that hydrates my skin enough without active ingredients that compete with the various serums and tonic that I’m frequently testing out. Something, while I want it to basically do nothing for me still…

The Michelle Pfeiffer of fragrances
Scrolling along Sephora’s fragrance new releasees one day, I came across a brand that I had never heard of: Henry Rose. First and foremost, I am a sucker for a new release. Second, a person’s name as the name of the brand? Color me intrigued. However, Henry Rose is not the founder, but the inspiration.…

The wrong pursuit
“I wonder how tall she is.” I proceeded to go down a long journey to figure out the YouTuber’s height. Investigating link after link, I had to stop myself. “What are you doing? And why?” What difference would learning that piece of information make in my life? Learning is of course a good thing. However,…
