Here's what it was like to fly in Qatar Airways' QSuite.

A 2024 report by Expert Market Research said the global soap market could reach over $36 billion in revenue by 2032, and luxury soap products are partially to thank.

I grew up shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale with my mom before spending nearly four years working as a sales associate between Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack.

☆ The Very Online Afterlife of Franz Kafka

Also, “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka, a fat black bug on its cover. The video’s creator is 25-year-old Margarita Mouka — @aquariuscat444 on TikTok, where she frequently posts about Kafka, integrating his work, his likeness and his life story into her online persona of romantic intellectualism. “Franz Kafka becomes an unlikely HEARTTHROB on TikTok — where Gen Zers are swooning over the Czech novelist nearly 100 YEARS after his death,” ran a Daily Mail headline. On BookTok, where a flashed book jacket conveys a glimmer of a user’s inner life, a classic text can leave a durable impression. It plays like a deep cut, reaching back through time to ground a TikToker’s content in a more enduring human experience.

CNN —Fashion writer Patrick Mauriès first met Karl Lagerfeld in 1981, after he quoted the fashion designer in a short book he had written about contemporary fashion and culture. As Lagerfeld became more of a public figure in the 1990s and 2000s, he increasingly sought homes that could act as retreats, said Mauriès. Fotex/Shutterstock/Courtesy Thames & HudsonIn keeping with Lagerfeld’s constant need for change, there is little left of the homes and interiors featured in the book.

I’m a big fan of Augustinus Bader’s The Light Cream and then Merit’s Great Skin Instant Glow Serum, which is very subtle. At the end of the day, I use a gel cleanser from Oskia called the Renaissance Cleansing Gel. I love using a muslin cloth for a deep cleanse. I’m a real bath girl, and there’s an Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser that I love; it has the best smell. When I was pregnant I discovered the brand Mutha, and I think their Body Butter and Body Oil are the best.

☆ Новый способ имитации богатства стал трендом среди молодежи
▼ + stars: | 2021-06-19 | by ( Super User | ) mybusiness.md time to read: +1 min

Молодое поколение придумало новый способ имитации богатства без высоких денежных затрат. Согласно исследованию, проведенному финансовой компанией Money.co.uk, самыми востребованными товарами на сайте интернет-магазина eBay являются коробки от дорогих часов и дизайнерской обуви, а также бумажные пакеты именитых брендов. Так, например, стоимость чехла компании Rolex составляет 160 фунтов стерлингов, а упаковки Nike — 55 фунтов стерлингов. В то же время бумажные пакеты модного дома Louis Vuitton и ювелирного производителя Tiffany в среднем продаются на сайтах ретейлеров за 74 и 51 фунт стерлингов соответственно. Известно, что в марте 2021 года блогеры принялись создавать дешевые версии сумок Louis Vuitton с помощью брендированного пакета: юзеры помещали его в прозрачный пластик такой же формы, затем прикручивали к конструкции кожаные ручки.
