• Hairspiration: Michael Douglas

    To say Michael Douglas has great hair is an understatement. Rather, I’d say he’s had a career of exceptional hair. Besides, we all can use a little inspiration from time-to-time, and what is the point of a proper Throwback Thursday really if not to inspire?

  • Aesop’s Great Breath

    If Kim Kardashian’s sixth sense is an ability to ‘smell cavities’, surely she would recommend Aesop’s new mouthwash. Why? It’s pretty great. And by great I mean it tastes amazing – so for a mouthwash that is, well, refreshing. I’m all for mouthwash(ing), partly because it keeps your dental bill somewhat manageable, but mostly because …

  • A Perfectly Murderous Routine

    Anybody that knows me knows I have a thing for great apartments, Gwyneth Paltrow and bath-time routines.

That’s …

And yes there is method to my moisturizing madness, sub-arctic eye spooning sessions (!) and bizarre application techniques. But honestly after all is said (and done) I just feel great. So in light of that revelation I thought we …

  • Seda France

    Remember what I said about finding the perfectly scented candle? Well, this just might be it. Seda France – the purveyor of finely fragranced candles continually produces beautifully packaged home fragrances that are delightful. I was recently gifted the limited-edition Anniversaire – which boosts delicate notes of citron, heliotrope and geranium that are complemented by more robust …

  • Locked Up

    Ok so I didn’t actually get locked-up over the Christmas break. But if ever I were to be locked-away, please oh-please use this Hermès contraption. As we are well aware nothing signifies pure, unadulterated luxury more than absolutely anything Hermès – this limited edition refillable atomizer is the perfect example.   Modeled after the iconic ‘H’ padlock, the …
