Write me a schedule
I was complaining about some changes at work. Let’s say that they were getting very detail oriented in time management. I had to start giving an account of how all of my time being used. As I went on about the frustration of it all, he responded, “Why don’t you just have ChatGPT write you…

Rihanna is the new face of J’Adore
It has happened. Rihanna will be the new face of J’Adore by Dior. Previously the role was occupied by Charlize Theron for 20 years. (That is absolutely wild to me.) The new ad campaigns won’t be out until September. Maybe I will cover those then, but let’s take this in another direction. I wonder not…

Quick and unfair thoughts on the Augustinus Bader Eye Cream
Over the course of three weeks, I tried out the Augustinus Bader Eye Cream. And you know what, I wasn’t amazed. But before you take that as the review, let’s get some context. The Eye Serum $225 for 15 mL Targeted solution for eyes, using the brands patented TFC8 AB touts these as the key…

Louis Vuitton debuted their men’s Spring Summer 2025 collection in Paris.
On Monday, Louis Vuitton released a video teasing its then upcoming show for its Men’s Spring Summer 2025 line. In it, we see a collection of children, who appear to be a sort of Model UN. It was a call for unity and a reminder that they are the future. It is in the hands…

Not so far to travel
Japan. New Zealand. The Maldives. I am certainly planning to at some point head miles away to explore new lands. But as much as I want to travel overseas, I have to ask if I have really explored these shores. It is easy for me, as an American, to take for granted the travel experiences…

Here is a very short review of The Robey, Chicago
This might be my most room centered room review ever. When I stayed at the Robey Hotel, I didn’t see any amenities, a restaurant, or really even the hallway. Why, shortly after my check-in, I was too sick to do anything at all. At the very least, here is what I thought of the room.…

I tried Cle de Peau’s brightening mask. Spoiler, I liked it.
While traveling, I realized that I had completely forgot to bring moisturizer. Being right across from a shopping center, I decided it was the best time for me to try out some new face masks. And I certainly splurged in doing so by trying the Cle de Peau Intensive Brightening Mask. I used the product…
