These are the best Diptyque candles for summer. I don’t know — maybe fall’s the superior candle burning time? Or winter? But why? It’s not like we’re getting heat, or in most cases light, from them: I still remember burning a Diptyque during a blackout at home during a miserably....
The best Diptyque candles for spring are ready to burn when the snow’s finally stopped, and the long gray days are just about over. Could that be the sun, peaking out from behind a cloud? A new, promising softness in the earth? Tiny buds on the trees? The best of....
So is Le Labo cheaper in France? It’s a very good question. Usually I’m not surprised to find that the answer is yes, a French brand — like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Polène — is cheaper in France. (I was more surprised to discover that Cartier is not.) But unlike....
Looking for the best Diptyque candles for men? You’ve come to the right place. While several of this iconic French brand’s scents are — by traditional aesthetic guidelines — distinctly feminine, most of its catalogue could be considered gender neutral, and some skew decidedly masculine, including a few of its....
I think souvenir state plates are beautiful, I would love to have a collection of 50 hanging in my kitchen, I do not think they are unappealing, and I am willing to die on this hill. Souvenir state plates had their heyday in the 1950s and ’60s, as I discovered....

Paris hotels with an Eiffel Tower view actually aren’t all that hard to come by: Paris is a low city, profile wise, and the Eiffel Tower is exceptionally tall — it’s more akin to a mountaintop, widely viewable from across the city (like Mount Fuji), than a monument hidden behind....
Welcome to our Emily in Paris: Season 1, Episode 5 recap! Welcome to the cringiest polycule this side of the Seine! It is (presumably) the morning after: an errant kiss, a newfound girlfriend. Camille is dating Gabriel, and Emily hates it (see expression above. “I really wish Gabriel had told....
Two big things happen in this episode, one extremely plausible, one extremely implausible. First, Emily makes a French friend. This is actually implausible. Or maybe I’m just the worst? But I spent most of my first year there having coffee dates and language exchange sessions with Frenchies who, they were....
