Okay, Dyson. You got me.
I saw the thumbnail for the short form. “Whoa Dyson has an eye brow product? That’s so…” My excitement died when I remembered today’s date. April 1, also known as April Fools Day. They got me. I fell for the fake product ad. But as someone with unruly brows, I was definitely intrigued. It may…

Maybe I want to go to Finland
I am having some trouble focusing today. So let’s go on a fake adventure! I had a random place generated: Finland. The recommended hotel is Iso Syöte Hotel located in Lapland, two hours drive from the Oulu international airport. Specifically, their Eagle Suite has been rated as one of the most romantic stays in the…

Apologies to you, Farmacy and your Honey Halo
I would like to submit a formal apology to you, Honey Halo Hydrating Ceramide Face Moisturizer from Farmacy. I still had a bit of you remaining in the jar after I had given up on you post my review. So I figured, why not try to use it up this one last time? And this…

The pleasant Miss Dior Rose n Roses
In full disclosure, I was rushing out the door today and realized that I didn’t put on any fragrance. I decided to put on Miss Dior Rose n Roses. It is of course, a take on the original, with even more of a nod to bright roses. It feels wrong to say it is this…

My biggest fear

That’s not really marketing
A glossy four page spread. A bus shelter wrapped in branding. An insurance commercial that brings you to tears. Ads, ads everywhere. That is marketing. Yes, it is, but also no. Advertising had become such a big part of my life, as a TV obsessed kid who would have watched hours upon hours of non-skippable…

The smallest big idea
I decided to go to the gym, hit the treadmill and focus on getting better and running. But I also wanted to keep my hoodie on. Every time I started my run intervals, the strings bopped around and hit me. Previously wearing a different hoodie, those little metal aglets at the end of the strings…

The new duo at Loewe
The design duo and founders of Proenza Schouler, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, are now taking their talents to Loewe, as co-creative directors. This announcement comes just one week after Jonathan Anderson announced his exit from the post. The first thing I thought was that this signals a similarly quirky aesthetic will likely be maintained…

On fragrance in skincare
If you watch many skincare influencers, fragrance is the worst possible thing that you can ever have in your skincare. Anything that has a fragrance is destroying your skin. That might seem extreme, but it matches their energy. If you let them tell it, fragrance is an unnecessary skincare ingredient. Let’s be real. Fragrance costs…
