  • Maison Margiela’s Afternoon Delight is a delicious treat

    The invitation said, wear fall themed colors. I have none, so I thought maybe I should do a fall themed fragrance. For some reason, I thought Maison Margiela’s Afternoon Delight would be perfect. Something about the increasingly chilly weather had me leaning towards the sweet gourmand fragrance. Afternoon Delight eau de parfum $165 for 100mL…

  • yet another restart

    “I’m tired of this. How many times am I going to start over?”  And then a small voice answered, “As many days as you are alive.” While I was/am frustrated with myself for having to start yet another challenge to make progress towards my goals, I have a new perspective. It is such a beautiful…

  • Maybe more costumes

    Today is Halloween. Depending on where you live, this marks a day where you will see many people, young and old parading around in costumes. And then, just by looking at them, you are expected to guess who they are. Based on the mask, the clothing, the makeup, you have clues. The more outlandish, the…

  • Artechouse used Love is Blind to its advantage

    I went to Artechouse back in February. It was an immersive experience that allowed me to experience the creative power of AI. I went alone and was able to linger in each space and contemplate for an extended time. I look fondly on that time and plan to get over there to see more exhibits.…

  • Gentle Monster and and artful shopping experience

  • Equinox Hotel is becoming one of my favorites for this reason

    I previously stayed using the Science of Sleep package, but I had a sneaking suspicion that the package didn’t add all that much to my experience. I wanted to know what the “regular experience” was. Some of the same elements that were meant to assist with sleep were still there. The only in-room difference I…

  • I had to try this energy boosting treatment at Equinox for myself

    I entered the dimly lit room hoping it would be exactly what I needed. It was the start of my session on the Spa Wave Table at Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards. I had been looking forward to trying this treatment since February, back when my plan had been thwarted when it was out of service.…

  • So, Glossier has two new fragrances. Let’s try them.

    Your for you page on TikTok is likely already littered with people’s opinions of Glossier You. It is meant to be a scent that morphs on different people, where you smell like you and no one else. On me, I’ve been enjoying it’s comforting sweet but full scent. (Please don’t ask me what I mean…

  • Apparently, I’ll be there, too

    Sigh, what I wouldn’t give to escape my problems. Like, if I were a billionaire able to fly into space, far. I’d be so grateful to finally escape all the obstacles I face here on Earth. It’d be worth the thousands, nay millions, necessary to get away from it all. There’s just one problem with…

  • Okay, you could pay me stay at Populus Denver

    The other day this icebreaker question popped up on the screen at the meeting: If you were given $10 million to do any job in the world, regardless of your skill set, what would you do?” I immediately thought, I’d be a travel writer. Sorry, let me be more specific. I would be a professional…
