Is A Kahluaccino Coming Soon?
I've dreamt of the day Starbucks would get a liquor license and now it's here. Although not quite in the form I'd desired, it's here. I'd imagined a world where hedonism was part of mainstream lifestyle and a frothy sugar-laden coffee drink came spiked to quell that oncoming hangover one would fear at 11 a.m. inside a Vegas casino. But alas that is not the case. Starbucks apparently aims to bank off of making "the third place" available during evenings too, in select markets to start. Essentially select U.S. locations will offer beer and wine, as well as a ...
Beauty Emergency : Stolen Moisturizer
I'm not lying when I say the low point of this week was finding out someone stole my first Gilt Group purchase, a $25 starter kit of products from Jessica Simpon's line, BeautyMint. The Lipstick Effect truly is solid economic theory; months ago I came home to a Staples delivery to find my new shredder and WiFi multifunction printer in plain sight, no Staples box or brown paper to disguise them. So let me get this straight - no one wants $300 in electronics but they do want $25 in beauty products. Yes, that makes sense. Vanity first people. Naturally after ...
Ann Taylor Reveals New Celeb Face
Ann Taylor continued its streak of celebrity models with the addition of Kate Hudson, the face of the spring 2012 campaign.

Kristen Dykstra, senior v.p. of brand marketing for the Ann Taylor division of ANN INC. added: “While she is most known as a beautiful and talented actress, she is also a devoted mother, daughter, sister and philanthropist who manages to do it all with a radiant smile, joie de vivre and effortless style.” In a press release, Hudson said: "As ...
A Simple Detox: A Personal History of Binge ________
It was 2008 and I was at a friend's birthday-cum-going away party. She, a petite jovial MBA grad and marketing manager, was engaged and soon was set to leave the country. In a few months time she'd marry abroad and relocate to London, and so we drank. And drank. And drank. A few days later the photos ended up on Facebook and I had a wake up call. My hair was two colors- brown and purple- and I was fat. Well, not fat for America, but fat for me. It was the most I'd weighed ...

Six Notes on Juneau, Alaska
I arrived in Juneau, Alaska about 17 hours after I left the Boston area. I must confess that I did expect most people to be baseball hat and flannel wearing men with pickup trucks and maybe that’s not far off though this is also Subaru country. But, city folk need to admit that often times we associate a simple life with simple minds. There are plenty... [Read more of this review]
Data Whore: Why I Splurged on a 64GB iPhone 4S
Frustrated to near tears the other night I rang Verizon Wireless and asked if I could upgrade three weeks early. The nice southern belle on the phone got manager approval to do so and recommended, after I asked about size, the 16GB iPhone. I was thinking even if it wasn’t big enough, I’d have a lot of music stored not locally, but on the... [Read more of this review]

UK Entrepreneur Creates Texting Smoke Alarm
The UK’s Matthew Newman has created a product for those paranoid folks like myself that check their oven and door multiple times a day to make sure the former is off and the latter is locked. Newman’s company, ELS, developed a product called Firetext, which with the help of a Lithium battery and a GSM module, can text users when their smoke detector... [Read more of this review]
Why We Love Showtime
What Showtime does is to glamorize the failures of contemporary commoners skirting the edge of normalcy. Nurse Jackie has a soul but serves her own kind of justice while she works doubles in a NYC hospital, fueled off an affair and a little nose candy. Californication chronicles the love and mistakes of those individuals that are a bit more gifted... [Read more of this review]
