Fountain of Youth

TisF is smelling something Le Fabulous!

Le Labo

Imagine a brand where two specialist (Edouard & Fabrice) in fine perfumes decide to bring together some of the very best “noses” on the planet. Their mission: to create 10 exceptional fragrances, with no eye on costs and one goal – to create a sensory “shock” as soon you open the bottle.  Le Labo is a brand that refuses to flood the world’s perfumer shops with factory-made products, but instead lovingly formulates each of its 10 fragrances by hand, on demand, and in a single location – its exclusive New York perfumery lab.  Their lab is open to the public: a magical place where you can linger and take time to touch, listen, see and smell.  A place where you can learn all about the fine art of perfume-making or simply awaken your sense of smell – where you can explore and discover at leisure, without being pressured into buying.

In a world where luxury perfumes are mass produced and sold in places that look like supermarkets, where advertising campaigns try to fool consumers into thinking they are unique even though their “one of  a kind” fragrance are worn by millions across the globe, Le Labo believes there is another solution. As a result, Le Labo decided to take matters – and perfume – back in hand…now that is Fabulous!

TisF discovered a great website for Cosmetic Treatments.

RealSelf.com is a free, unbiased resource to find and share information about cosmetic treatments.  RealSelf offers a 360-degree view of decision making for cosmetic treatments, including plastic surgery, from the costs all the way through to results as explained by actual patients and doctors.

RealSelf.com was founded by Tom Seery in 2006 after his friend pointed out that it was far easier to get informed about hotel towels than a $2,000 laser skin treatment.  Their  team is passionate about closing the information gap by creating an authentic forum to share opinions and experiences, much in the way consumer review sites have done so for travelers, movie goers, and book buyers.  The RealSelf.com community includes board-certified medical experts who participate voluntarily to answer specific questions and provide invaluable insight, including detailed explanations of specific procedures. They offer a safe, anonymous community with an unprecedented level of transparency that is incredibly valuable to make this important life decision – whether it’s gaining the confidence to move ahead or the insight to avoid the procedure altogether.
