Consistency
I have a great idea that I want to write about, but alas I know that I don’t have the time today to give it the attention it requires. However, I also don’t want to break this commitment I have made to myself to post every day. So here is a consistency post. It comes…

Did you know Chanel made sunscreen?
Curiosity got the best of me as I walked through Nordstrom one day. That’s how I ended up with a Chanel sunscreen. I have been using their UV Essentiel and now the tube is almost empty. It’s time for a review. Among the claims that Chanel makes are that it will protect you from the…

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.

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…
