  • Soon you could be completely dressed in Louis Vuitton, even your face

    Continuing the trend, Louis Vuitton is the latest luxury brand to enter the beauty category. The products, expected to include lip balms, lipsticks, and eyeshadows, are set to release in autumn 2025. (Side question: I wonder if this will coincide with Paris Fashion Week?). The brand has tapped Pat McGrath as the beauty director to…

  • For consistency

    I don’t know what to write about today, but I am writing anyway. I have been posting daily, for nearly three years. It is my longest running habit. I am learning about the power of consistency. And consistency requires doing things, even if you don’t feel like it, even if the circumstances are the best.…

  • Just rambling thoughts about sponsored research

    As I was looking into what, if anything, you should be sure to clean while traveling, I can across a press release. They said that research indicated how germs spread through hotels. Then I noticed this was from Lysol. Perhaps, it is reputable and holding to the highest of ethical guidelines. But that’s not what…

  • Quick Review: Honey Halo moisturizer from Farmacy

    I had high hopes for the Honey Halo Hydrating Ceramide Face Moisturizer from Farmacy. But alas, it has disappointed me just like others. My skin seemed to absorb the product. When I went to recheck the website, the model’s skin looks dewy. My skin, after a few minutes looked matte. It makes me wonder if…

  • Don’t start competing with yourself

    I have written before about my habit challenges and my pursuit of greater productivity. One of my biggest hangups is that I am struggling to do things that old me had no problem doing. Listen, from one internet stranger to another: Don’t do that. Common advice is that comparison is the thief of joy. Usually,…

  • Are you a wipes traveler?

    There’s a video of Naomi Campbell going through the airport preparing for her flight. Even before the rise in germ awareness, she was disinfecting every surface she would touch on the plane. Then there are people who enter their hotel and do the same, wiping down everything. Some even bring their own sheets and towels…

  • A stay at The Barnett in New Orleans (Part 2)

    “Is that dander in the couch?” As I went through my room at The Barnett in New Orleans to document my travels, excitedly, my stomach turned. Instead of learning about all of the details to give a better review, I started analyzing the space for cleanliness. Then there was a screwdriver under the table. Just…

  • What is a suit for, anyway?

    If you are in the U.S. or are simply in the world not underneath a rock, you will likely have heard about how the meeting between President of Zelensky of Ukraine and President Trump of the U.S. took a turn. A member of the press asked Zelensky why he was not wearing a suit. Zelensky…
