I have a Blake medium chanel bag. Absolutely loved it., but the logo fell off. Has anyone had this happen before? Curious how to replace it - could I take it to a chanel restorer or is it just a lost cause. Bummer because I paid a good amount for it!

I recently engaged an employment lawyer in NY state who agreed to take my case on contingency. The contract includes a few terms I want to understand better before signing:

1. If either party terminates the agreement, the lawyer is entitled to be paid for out-of-pocket expenses and hourly fees incurred up to that point - not just if I terminate, but also if he terminates.
2. If we go to arbitration and lose, I would be responsible for the opposing party's legal fees.
3. I would also be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs incurred during the case.

I understand that if I terminate the agreement I would likely owe for time and costs already spent. What I don't understand is why the lawyer would also be entitled to fees if he is the one who terminates the relationship. Is that standard in contingency agreements? It seems like it removes any real downside for him to drop a case while still leaving me on the hook financially.

Also curious whether being responsible for the opposing party's legal fees if we lose at arbitration is typical for an employment case, or whether that's something I should be pushing back on.

Any insight is appreciated.

I just started a skincare routine. I have basic combo skin that has early signs of aging and some discoloration/light melasma..I have a bunch of products and am not sure in which order to use them. I want to do microneedling once a month (very light). I have Dennis Gross glycolic pads that I love, I have a good retinol for sensitive skin that I also love, nighttime moisturizer, daytime moisturizer with SPF, and Skinceuticals Pherulic serum.

How do I combine/alternate the dennis gross pads and the retinol, do i need anything other than moisturizer at night after those? Should Skinceuticals Vit C be used at night or morning? Is there anything else I am missing from my routine? Thank you!
