  • Phlur’s Lost Cause: Like the fragrance, not the name

    I kid you not, given the name, I thought trying Lost Cause by Phlur would be a hopeless pursuit. I was wrong. Rather than confirming my fear it  would be an irreparably bad choice to spray on myself, I found myself enjoying it. Don’t get me wrong, there was something off putting on first spray.…

  • I fell today

    Yesterday, I fell down. Truthfully, a hook got caught on the bottom loop of my shoe lacing pattern and dragged me to the ground. Today, I told someone that the path was way too slippery today on account of the rain, and then I proceeded to go down it. And of course, I slipped and…

  • If you’re feeling eclectic, stop here in Asheville

    You like things that you friends lovingly refer to as “different.” But you don’t care, you like standing out. You like getting your hands on pieces that others can’t even begin to think of styling and furniture pieces from a time gone by. And it is even better if no one else can find those…

  • Hear me out. You need to add The South Slope Cheese Co. to your Asheville itinerary

    The South Slope Cheese Co. in Asheville, North Carolina is now probably on the list of my wallet’s most horrifying nightmares. I cannot be trusted in any grocery store, let alone a specialty one. But pardon me, it is not a cheese shop; it is a fromagerie. They sell a selection of not just award-winning…

  • Let’s compare two of Supergoop’s more hydrating sunscreens

  • Smelling By the Fireplace

    I had a coworker once, who I didn’t care for, but I didn’t mind so much when he was around because smelled amazing. So I would always ask, “Why do you smell so good?” And the answer was always the same: By the Fireplace by Maison Margiela. Because of the name, I had always assumed…

  • Chasing imperfection

    The socks are thrown in the draw, in singles instead of properly coupled with their mate. The broccoli is cooked in a steamer bag, instead of tossed with oil and seasoning and then baked at 450 degrees. The hair washed and then conditioned for 1 minute instead of undergoing a deep condition and steam treatment.…

  • The consumer is the marketer

    Back in the day, when you saw a funny ad, that was it. You maybe told someone else about to check if they saw it too. If you were really quick, you could quickly press record on your VCR and keep that video forever. Or maybe tear out the page of the magazine and put…
