My Little Black Book
Goop Beauty 3x Retinol, Tassel Sconce by Apparatus, Abortion by Jessica Valenti, Revenge of the Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, & How to Live an Extraordinary Life by Anthony Pompliano
Dear Friends,
Jumping right into this week’s Little Black Book of hot off the press, favorite finds plus tried and true, time tested treasures…
I received an opportunity to try out Goop Beauty’s 3x Retinol a minute before it was available to all. One thing I love about Goop’s skincare products is that GP is really committed to not only using ingredients that are clean but that also really produce a positive and noticeable anti-aging difference. For these reasons, I swear by a few of them that have done wonders for my skin. And so far I am really impressed with how my skin is responding to this 3x Retinol serum! Many retinols I have tried in the past, like Vitamin C, have been too irritating. Not this one.
The Tassel Sconce by London based Apparatus is edited and refined in its design. Subtle yet powerful beauty in brass and glass, this may find a place in our future music room.
I have three books, that just hit shelves last week, that I am thrilled to read. Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win by Jessica Valenti is critical reading as far as I am concerned. You can also find so much more on this topic by Jessica on her excellent Substack
. Revenge of the Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell is the long awaited sequel to his best selling book The Tipping Point. And How to Live an Extraordinary Life by , a collection of 63 letters he wrote to his children on living a good life, is a valuable book of which I have already finished and highly recommend regardless of whether you have children. The insights are succinct, truly wise, and worthwhile for us all to consider in architecting our own life. I have shared so many of his lessons with my children and I feel certain Anthony’s insights will continue to influenced my thinking and actions. I hope you will pick up a copy!
Until next time!
