Iknow a lady that wouldn’t call herself one, but I do, I call her an artist. She has a knack for keeping and creating items loaded with nostalgic memories. Her house is filled with trinkets and mementos, even mundane things that each have a little story or association from her life. We all do it, …

Makes perfect sense to me now (and probably anyone who thinks about it for a moment). I was surprised though that all of the niche colognes I am sampling seem to have the indelible mark of their creator carved into the molecules of the scent. Which becomes noticeable once you smell several of any one …
No chestnuts roasting here just yet. Spiced pecans, yes. I am trying a twist with my home-made chocolate turtles this year by using spiced pecans instead simply using raw ones. The spiced pecans have a tiny kick because of the addition of Cayenne pepper. I suppose I could name these “Snapping Turtles” 🙂 I am …
Following my challenging trip of filming out east last week, it’s a welcome distraction to receive an order of cologne from independent Portland based perfumer Slumberhouse and to have a great book to read over the weekend. The scent I ordered from Slumberhouse is called Rume. A spicy rendition that brings to mind the visits …

Am hyper-aware of the state of my skin lately. Seeing that I am making a trip out east in two days, where I’ll be on-set playing a sci-fi Alien, this is a good thing. The Alien costume/full body suit requires a lot of special effect make-up and rubber. So there is a good amount of …
My eyes have been feasting on all the great gift guides around. Seriously, I need to remind myself that I don’t need ALL of it. I just want ALL of it. So, in classic mimic-style, I’m sharing too. Most of these are items from independent artists I’ve come across. I like indie artists, certainly because …

Why is it whenever I turn my nose up to be snobby that I inevitably have a big green bugger hanging for all to see? I laugh with friends over Justin Bieber releasing a perfume fragrance called Someday. Feeling so much more enlightened than all the masses of consumers being duped into another celebrity cash …
