I live about 2 hours away so when I visit DC I usually make a point to go in, especially if we’re going out to eat in Georgetown. The lovely employee who helped me said she’d only been hired in July and they’re closing the store at the end of the year. I love the vibe of the DC store and everyone there is so kind and helpful.

Of course I can find Glossier in Sephora as TJMaxx, but the store is a different experience. I always grab a few things that are hard to find or shade match elsewhere.

At the end of the day it’s a brand and those come and go, but I’ve gone back and forth using Glossier since the original 3-piece set. I was an avid reader of Into The Gloss and was a fan of super intern Emily. Just some sad elder Millennial nostalgia. Back then it felt like something really for “us” and innovative. Now it just looks like everything else.

I’ve worn the orange-laced Merrell Sirens for 20 years. Decided to finally replace because my feet are a little bigger after 2 kids and I prefer to wear thick wool-blend socks with them. Got the new version on sale, but the quality is really poor. No leather, stretchy laces that don’t go to the toe, and they feel narrow. Just feels like plastic on my feet.

Even on sale I don’t think they’re worth it and I’m going to return them.

Add this to my list of rants:
Planned obsolescence
Plastic replacing leather
Apps required for everything
Subscription model
It’s not just nostalgia, things really used to be better

Lose It seems to really over estimate my steps. My Samsung watch indicates I took 16,382 steps so far today. Plus it gives me a calorie bonus that I think is double dipping from my walking or running workouts. I don't want to have a false sense of more calories burned than I actually did.

When I track a workout using Samsung Health, the activity and duration will appear on Lose It, but not the calories burned. I've checked the permissions on Health Connect and Lose It should have access to this information. I end up having to manually enter the activity again on Lose It to get the calories and it always underestimates.

It just started doing this too. When I re-upped my Lose It subscription it was correctly writing the calories for about 2 days.

What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

I finally put away my rich musks and vanillas. My current spring/summer scents:

Marc Jacobs Perfect (EDP and EDT)

Calvin Klein Escape

Donna Karan Cashmere Mist deodorant (all day every day)

Bobbi Brown Beach
