  • 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…

  • Do you really want feedback?

    Years ago, I had an argument. My sentiment was that it was harmful to ask for feedback if there was never an intention to use it. It was a waste of everyone’s time to do a performance collection of thoughts we’d never  act on. If anything, such practices  would create situations where we wouldn’t get…

  • I wasn’t going to say anything

    As I prepared to go to sleep in my hotel room, I thought, “Oh, I should turn off the TV.” Then I remembered it wasn’t my TV I was listening to. I had been following the cable news broadcast word for word from the TV in the room next to me. It was loud, and…

  • I get why Pop Tarts is selling jackets and body wash

    Last week I questioned the decision by Pop Tarts to start selling body wash, bath bombs, and crunchy jackets. Really, it was ,ore of me asking why. What reason do they have? Rather than thinking it was absurd, I assumed there was some business rationale behind it. I did some digging and found the earnings…

  • I’m glad I tried this lip oil from Merit

    On a day I had decided I would wear a little makeup, I realized I had nothing on my lips. So I went to my stash and remembered I had a brand new Merit Shade Slick still unused. I cracked it open and swiped it on. Whereas the Dior lip oil doesn’t feel true to…
