  • I should do my makeup

    I pushed away from the computer and decided, “I should do my makeup.” I had nowhere to go and none of the necessary skills, but it felt like the right move. I took the concealer that was a shade that I thought didn’t quite work for me. I mixed it with the color corrector to…

  • I don’t think I ever trusted a celebrity spokesperson more

    “Wait, is that Jane Goodall? In a diamond ad?” I remembered her from all those videos in the past. Her living amongst and studying the gorillas. Seeing her promoting Brilliant Earth instantly made me go to the website. Well, obviously it is the most sustainable and greenest choice. Without really having to speak about it,…

  • 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…

  • 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.…

  • 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…
