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…

This lighter version Love Don’t Be Shy was what I needed
I remember when I first tried Love Don’t Be Shy, it was off putting. It was so fragrant that it was overpowering, and I was happy when it finally dried down and started to dissipate. It seems the house of Kilian created this eau fraiche version just for me. Love Don’t Be Shy Eau Fraiche…

Chanel, the long-term, and humans
Writing about Chanel yesterday made me curious, what actually is the vision of the company. Given the long tenure of their previous artistic directors, I had a hunch that this wasn’t a fluke but tied to their mission and vision. I came across their “Report to Society” from 2018. In it, they write that because…

Chanel’s artistic director leaves the company, but…
Virginie Viard is no longer the artistic director of Chanel. Perhaps that means nothing to you. And why should it? But think of it this way, before Viard was Karl Lagerfeld who was with the brand from 30 years. Viard had been under Lagerfeld’s tutelage before assuming the role of artistic director after his passing.…

So, about email marketing
I was listening to a podcast about email marketing. They made it seem so easy. You need more email addresses to send your stuff to. That’s your main problem. I took that information in and thought of all the ways I could get more people to give me their email addresses. Now I’m thinking that’s…

I tried toty sunscreen. Here’s what my dry skin thought.
Based on my constant admonition on this site for you to wear your sunscreen, you could guess that I’m pretty into wearing mine. As you might imagine, I was intrigued when I came across a brand that I hadn’t heard of before and got to try it out for myself. The product was toty. Solaria…
