Remember a couple of weeks back, when I went to Rhode Island to film a small part in a film?
Well, I left my camera there. Which has accounted for the scarcity of out-and-about shots this past little while (toting the Canon all over stresses me out).
But now...my little Samsung is back!
So: photos, two weeks later.
Q. Hi Jordan,
You've written in the past about the perks of Keratin treatments. However, I've checked at the salons here in Portland, OR, and since my hair is halfway down my back, it's going to cost me a small fortune to get that done. I'm in my third year of grad school, broke, and have come to accept that's not an option.
I was wondering if you knew of any options for at-home treatments? I've been looking but have no idea what's what, and which stuff is legit and not a rip-off.
Sincerely,
You're so genuinely excited about the opening of the brand-new Fairway on East 86th Street that you simply can't wait to go check it out, and look forward to it all day. And then while waiting for your prosciutto, you say things to the lady next to you like, "This is such a enormous improvement on the quality of life in the neighborhood. And the prices!"
But seriously: it's awesome. I spent the last two years shopping at the crappy Food Emporium on Second, and the two years before that shopping at the crappy Food Emporium on 43rd, and this is just...a totally different thing. The produce is gorgeous, the staff is wonderful, and it seems like they have anything you could possibly want (plus tons of fresh and organic products - the bakery practically made me glow with joy, and I definitely spotted two meringues the size of basketballs).
I am aflutter. And so, it seems, is everybody else - I have never seen such happy faces on supermarket shoppers in my life.
You know how I love my Votre Vu Duette? The almond-scented hand cream (that smells like COOKIES) with lip balm and mini mirror built into the lid?
This is even better than that.
The newest addition to the fab Votre Vu line, the Bebe Duette ($39.50) makes the whole package just a little bit smaller and more portable, and includes two hand cream/lip balm duos: one with clear, coconut-scented balm, and one with just a hint of raspberry color. One for the purse; one for the desk; done.
At the StyleList shoot last week, I came across MCMC perfume oils ($45 for 9ml) in Bird, a clothing and accessories boutique on Smith Street.
All of them are beautiful, but I'm obsessed with Noble, a blend of jasmine, vetiver and chai tea. It's sexy and mysterious without being heavy in the slightest, and completely unlike anything I've ever come across. I rolled a little onto my wrist...which then stayed glued to my nose for the remainder of the day.
I'm also dying to try Maine (they didn't have a sample in the store), a musky scent with hints of Bulgarian rose, sage, and French seaweed.
