Today I am going to give you my first impression of the Emma Lewisham Skin Reset Serum. This will not be a thorough review at all, because I only used the product for two days. Here is the first thing that I noticed. On day one I put it on after washing my face. It…

I have my eye on the luxury stays at Aman NYC
I am waiting, hoping for the day that I randomly win a sweepstakes, so I can finally afford a stay at Aman New York, or really any of their properties. Curiosity is my vice, and it has me desperately wanting to know if a stay at this luxury hotel is worth it. On a cheap…

These cleansing wipes from Cle de Peau are a strong contender
If you aren’t new here, you may know that I am very slowly becoming enamored with Cle de Peau. That’s a lie. I raved after I first tried a product from the luxury Japanese skincare brand. I am already enamored and am just continuing to try more products from them. Today, I would like to…

Is this the solution last minute shoppers have been waiting for?
I was on the Valentino webpage, as us nonwealthy do from time to time. I noticed they were promoting an option for a virtual gifting experience: 4Gift. As they put it, it gives you the option to give your recipient an instant digital unboxing, meaning you don’t need to worry about shipping delays. They get…

Curiosity got the best of me as I walked through Nordstrom one day. That’s how I ended up with a Chanel sunscreen. I have been using their UV Essentiel and now the tube is almost empty. It’s time for a review. Among the claims that Chanel makes are that it will protect you from the…

Louis Vuitton debuted their men’s Spring Summer 2025 collection in Paris.
On Monday, Louis Vuitton released a video teasing its then upcoming show for its Men’s Spring Summer 2025 line. In it, we see a collection of children, who appear to be a sort of Model UN. It was a call for unity and a reminder that they are the future. It is in the hands…

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…
