  • My unsung hero of this year: Ilia Base Face Milk

    Yet again, my hero product for this year is a milky toner. And by hero, I mean that the Ilia Base Face Milk came into save the day when other products were leaving my skin dry. This is the product that I used underneath the mineral sunscreens I was testing to add more dewiness into…

  • Giving Vanilla 28 yet another chance

    I have this tiny vial of Vanilla 28 from Kayali. Even though I hated it on first spray I decided to keep it for a particular reason: I hoped that it would get better with time. Or rather I discovered that it did. This is the fragrance that I continue to give another chance. Even…

  • In with the old

    The year is coming to an end. There are just a few days left on the calendar. Where did all of the time go? Where did all of the opportunities go? What do I have to show for another 365 days? I can’t help but reminisce and wish for more time, for different times. I…

  • Check out the Boston Seaport district

    If you are going to stay at the Omni Hotel Boston at the Seaport, chances are that you will want to visit the Seaport. If that wasn’t your plan before, you should make it so. Staying at this hotel places you walking distance from an array of shops, restaurants, attractions. Here are few that I…

  • So how are the restaurants at the Omni Hotel Boston Seaport?

    During my stay at the Omni Hotel Boston at the Seaport, I made sure to try as much of the restaurants as I could. Because I booked through American Express, I got a head start with the daily breakfast credit. I used that to get a daily taste of Kestra. My first morning, I ordered…

  • More things at the Omni Seaport

    Yesterday, I wrote up a quick review of my room at the Omni Boston Hotel at Seaport. Today, I want to focus on some of the other amenities I enjoyed. First, let’s take a moment for the art. Art in hotels is not novel, but this was a particular take that spoke to me. Shoes:…

  • Quick stay at the Omni Seaport

    I visited Boston in the late fall. The hotel: Omni Hotel Seaport. It is a true conference center hotel. It had an expansive lobby, a huge number of rooms, and of course was right across the street from the conference center. In the lobby was a collection of eclectic art. There were sculptures of shoes…

  • I tried this Glow Recipe sheet mask in a pinch. Here’s how that went.

    I rummaged through my toiletry bag, discovering I was far from home with no moisturizer. Instead of panicking about how the wind will dry out my skin, I figured this would be a perfect time to try a new sheet mask. I popped into Sephora I chose the Watermelon Jelly Sheet Mask from Glow Recipe.…

  • Finally trying 1 Million by Rabanne, and I have some thoughts

    This week I’ve been wearing 1 Million by Paco Rabanne. It’s a woody scent, with some spice. As a quick review, I enjoy smelling it on myself, except it doesn’t seem to last very long on my skin. I have had better results getting it to linger on my clothes. It doesn’t seem too overpowering…

  • For you

    What will you do for you today? Like you, the real you. Not for other people’s gaze, not for the you that you “should” be, not for your parents. What are you doing for you?
