Where I’d like to stay in Geneva
I was geo-stalking the city of Geneva on Google Maps. Maybe that is a poor way of describing what I was doing, but essentially, I was zooming in and exploring everything the city had to offer and noticed a little hotel icon. There it was, La Reserve. As I looked at the website for the…

Breaking a first impression
I have an entire list of things I can’t do. Or rather, I have a list of things I can’t do if I want to uphold a particular image. I want to leave a good impression, even though I haven’t quite defined what that means. All I know is that, I am constantly thinking how…

Dior is expanding its fragrance offering to include babies, or rather their parents. Their Bonne Etoile offering will be a fragrant mist/scent water mean to be sprayed in the air and on fabrics, not directly onto your child.

The hotels might be out of this world (literally)
I enjoy traveling to new places and exploring the offerings in fine hotels. For me that means hopping on an airplane to another state. Were I a billionaire, that could mean traveling by rocket ship to another planet. There is a lot of excitement around space tourism with an increase in private business tackling the…

Laziness is a choice that I want to make more often
At the end of the day, my invisible to-do list haunts me. It is full of all the items that I knew I should have done but didn’t remember to do or simply put off in favor of something else. I spent the day doing things, exhausting myself, but I had nothing of value to…
