Maybe we’re actually not that close
I have a full list of email contacts. I could (and do) send off a series of quick messages to more people than I see in daily life. I could put up posts to my social pages and reach my connections and then their connections and their connections. I could even create a whole website…

Giving the Drunk Elephant Protini a try
Drunk Elephant and I have had a longstanding difficult relationship. I don’t hate it, but I haven’t loved it for my dry skin. But for some reason, I decided to give it another chance and try the Protini Polypeptide Moisturizer. Protini Polypetide Moisturizer $22 for 15 mL Lightweight gel cream moisturizer that should help plump…

It might be time to stop spraying your fragrance
Some of you out there have a problem. You are an oversprayer. You are going around, choking people out with your fragrance and we don’t appreciate it. As part of your rehabilitation, I suggest you switch your application method. Maybe it’s time for you to stop spraying all together. Often you can find your favorite…

Today’s lesson
The lesson I am starting to realize more and more is that it’s me. Despite what others do, my reaction is mostly in my control. I can take control of how I think about what happens. I can make a choice to tend to or shift my emotions. I may not get to choose what…

The one thing to learn from Jake Paul
Confession, I spent quite a bit of time sucked into a YouTube time suck watching and analyzing Jake Paul’s entry into boxing.

You wanna smell like Jake Paul?
To say that Jake Paul made his foray into boxing would be under-descriptive. He has gone after the pursuit, wholeheartedly, if not brashly. And though he has a bout against Mike Tyson looming, he’s going after a different W. That is his very own line of bodycare, W by Jake Paul. The line of products…

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…

Le Male Elixir is certainly a powerful fragrance
I recall smelling someone wearing Le Male by Jean Paul Gautier and being the person asking, “What fragrance are you wearing?” As a result, my hopes were high as I tried the Le Male Elixir. Oh buddy, not the same experience. The first spray was overwhelming and instant regret. I was glad I wasn’t planning…
