I’ve noticed a trend with recent Uber bonuses. A new promo code will hit the scene, then within a few hours or days, the code is restricted to a certain area (Orange County, Chicago, etc.). In other words, Uber changes the terms of the code once they realize that the code is being used nationwide (when they probably meant it to be used in one market).
When I am in a foreign country, one of my very favorite things to do is spend some time browsing the aisles of pharmacies and supermarkets – you can find some incredible treasures on the shelves. Today I was amazed to read article after article about a creepy-but-cool Japanese beauty product called Baby Foot.
I really drag my feet when it comes to making “retention bonus” calls. I actually always laugh when I am getting ready to do this chore, because I think about those license plate holders that read, “I would rather be…shopping at Nordstrom!” (Remember those? They were so nineties).
Once you install Field Trip on your phone, it will send you little pop-up cards about interesting locations in the area – right as you pass by! This is great for wandering around in a new city, but it’s also really fun in your own backyard.
Covet + Lou features a pretty highly-curated selected of high-end pieces. Most of the time, these items are WAY out of my price range, but at times like this, the site is very interesting. I’ve found great deals at similar sales – but you have to move quickly!
As a fan of the “high/low” mix, I like to think that I have mastered the art of how to make the less expensive pieces in my wardrobe look pretty darn luxe. The truth is that there is no need to drop a ton of cash to look like a million bucks – all you need are a few tricks and tips.
A few years ago, the Swiss theater troupe Moomenschanz came to Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley. Josh’s mom was really excited about this, and wanted to take all of us to a matinee performance. Although Josh and I weren’t thrilled about the idea (we’re not that into surreal mime), we agreed.
Have you ever come home from vacation to an unfortunate surprise in your house? One of my friends recently returned to find an expired squirrel in her living room.
This was so fun to read! It kept getting better and better, so don’t stop until you get to the end.
So…I’m headed to the Frequent Traveler University next month in Seattle (Friday April 25 – Sunday April 27). I always have such a great time at these things. I’ve made some really good friends and have had tons of very interesting conversations at all of them (a lot of info is shared, both in the sessions, in the hallways outside of the sessions, and over cocktails).
