La Rose de Rosine, the brand's initial release from 1991, is a warm and feminine rose-violet composition with an Oriental drydown. If you're looking for a dozen variations on the rose theme, Les Parfums de Rosine is the fragrance line for you. Yves Saint Laurent ParisĪ 1980s classic! This effervescent, fruity-sweet blend of roses and violets needs to be worn with magenta lipstick and heels. It's polished and dressy, but in a modern-classic way. Guerlain Rose BarbareĮven with the inclusion of some mossy "Guerlainade," Rose Barbare is a somewhat lighter, brighter take on the concept of a rose chypre. However, I can appreciate the dark, untouchable beauty of Serge Lutens Rose de Nuit, and now that the former "exclusive" line is more widely available, I can recommend it without guilt. I don't wear many true chypres, just because they're not my style. The Different Company took a risqué approach to rose, encircling it with an animalic civet note, some slightly sweaty cumin, and a dash of pepper. Despite the name, this fragrance is more of a masculine spice-woods composition, heavy on the cumin, than a traditional rose scent but it does include some rose, and it was named "Rose," so it changed many people's ideas of what a rose fragrance could be. When Le Labo opened in 2006, its Rose 31 became a critics' darling in no time at all. When I wear this fragrance, I feel as though I'm journeying across foreign lands, even though I'm just headed to the office or the corner-store. Ormonde Jayne's Ta'if places its Damascus rose in a setting of saffron and pepper, dried fruit and resins. ![]() Nahéma is a dramatic arrangement of overblown roses, spiced honey, ripe peaches, and mossy wood it feels like a classic film with the color intensified and the volume turned up. It was a great commercial success, and thus it spawned dozens of imitators. Stella McCartney changed that situation with Stella, an easy-to-wear citrus-rose-amber fragrance in a lovely purple bottle. If you weren't shopping at high-end department stores or niche boutiques in the early 2000s, you might not have seen any rose fragrances at all. This "Hermessence" is a minimalist fruity floral that brings together sheer rose, crisp grapefruit, tart rhubarb, and a very subtle vanilla. L'Ombre dans L'Eau's evocation of a place and a mood (a riverside garden, a day shared by friends), its poetic name ("shadow in the water"), and its modernized Art Nouveau label design all add to its artisanal-chic appeal. Diptyque L'Ombre dans L'Eauĭiptyque was ahead of its time in 1983 when it combined a fresh rose accord with notes of green grass and tart black currant. Beautifully crafted, and just plain beautiful. Not at all: Sa Majesté La Rose subtly reveals the rose's varying aspects of brightness, softness, and sweetness. ![]() ![]() This "queen of the flowers" is one of Serge Lutens's more accessible early fragrances, which is not to say that it's simplistic or cheap. ![]() It's linear, with no surprises, and it feels lush yet cultivated. Jo Malone gained her original following by offering fragrances that smelled just like their names - an unusual idea at the time. Red Roses has always seemed to me more like a bouquet of florist roses than a bunch gathered in a garden. Bonus: the pretty label design and packaging! 3. Diptyque Eau RoseĪ more recent release from another French "niche" perfumery, Eau Rose is a delightfully uncomplicated sunny-day rose, pink and freshly picked, with hints of lemon and honey. It brings together essences of six different roses (May, Turkish, Bulgarian, Damascus, Egyptian, and Moroccan) into a radiant bouquet. Rose Absolue is the most "true" rose of the group. Annick Goutal Rose AbsolueĪnnick Goutal was one of my "gateway" houses into perfume obsession, partially because it offers several rose-inspired fragrances. And what's my "beat" here on Now Smell This? I've always gravitated towards florals, particularly rose-based perfumes, so I'll do my part with a run-down of some must-try rose scents. Angela has pitched in with a tempting selection of 25 Vintage Fragrances Every Perfumista Should Try, while Kevin has expanded our view with a list of 50 Masculine Fragrances. A few weeks ago, Robin posted an update to her much-loved post 100 Fragrances Every Perfumista Should Try, adding twenty-five more fragrances worth seeking out.

![]() ![]() Therein lies one of the things that makes this pool hall stand out over all others. While Chris’s isn’t shy about reminding you of its illustrious past (the walls are lined with trophies, photos of pro tournaments and plenty of behind-the-scenes Color of Money shots) they aren’t about to charge you for it. Pricing for open play is hourly and slightly dependent on the size of your group, but it’s about as cheap as you can get in the city. Since Chris’s is BYOB, these areas are a great place to relax with a group of friends, have a few beers and shoot pool without worrying about how many times you scratch or how many times you jump the cue off the table.Īlthough Chris’s doesn’t have a kitchen, they do have a snack bar filled with fruit, pastries and ice cream, as well as some of the strongest coffee you can get for fifty cents. Both of these areas are home to dozens of well-kept pool tables and some very loud internet jukeboxes. If you’re not a pool aficionado then you’ll be looking for the back or side rooms. ![]() This room tends to be where the serious players hang out - it’s quiet and filled with the scent of money-games. The front room is home to several Three-Cushion billiards tables, a Snooker table and a collection of amazing old Brunswick pool tables. Past the poster for that Paul Newman/Tom Cruise flick and a poem titled “Philosophy and Pool” lies the main room of the massive warehouse-like space inhabited by Chris’s. Ignore your first impressions and make your way upstairs. The building that houses this legendary pool hall looks less than inviting many of the street-level storefronts have been abandoned, and the long, worn staircase leading to the second floor doesn’t give the impression of anything operable waiting above. Yes, players of incredible skill frequent the place, but no, you don’t have to be one of them to have an excellent time.Ĭhris’s has been a fixture in Portage Park for decades, attracting pros and amateurs alike with its 40+ tables and laid back atmosphere. Parts of that movie were shot at Chris’s Billiards here in Chicago, and that line is a nice introduction to this particular pool hall. That line comes from “Fast” Eddie Felson, one of the lead characters in Martin Scorsese’s 1986 film The Color of Money. “Pool excellence is not about excellent pool.” Other names may be trademarks of their respective owners.

![]() That said, gifts are not expected at these events the way they typically are at a baby shower (where a registry is usually listed on the invite), says Kommer. “Loved ones want to get you gifts and they want to get you what you want, so definitely register.” Should you open or bring gifts to a sip and see party?Īs for gifts? It’s perfectly acceptable to register for them, says Weiss. The party could either be scheduled like an open house where guests come and go within a certain window or you could ask guests to arrive at a set time. Most new moms also won’t want the hassle of big setups or cleanups. “A sip and see should be more of a casual, relaxed event with a relatively shorter timeline - about an hour or two,” she says. And (this is a biggie!) enlist the help of a friend or family member to help coordinate, says Kommer. If you’re hosting a sip and see party yourself, aim to set up one area of your space - the living room or back patio, for instance - for the event. “It may be more convenient for the mother to host at her own home, so everyone comes to her and all baby gear, supplies and nursery are readily available.” “Location is dependent on what is most comfortable for the new mom or parents,” says Kommer. These parties usually take place in the new family’s home, though they can also be hosted by a close friend or family member. “An event of this nature, held after the baby is born, allows parents to settle into their new roles as mom and dad and decide on an appropriate date to invite their loved ones to meet their newest addition,” she says. How to Host Your Virtual Baby Shower on Zoom After all, if you recently gave birth, you’ll want to make sure you’re having the party when you feel up for it - that could be anywhere from weeks to months after your delivery. If you're opting for a sip and see instead of a traditional baby shower, you might begin some preliminary planning while pregnant, but wait until after baby is born to set a date, suggests Kommer. ![]() When should you schedule a sip and see party? Sip and see parties are thought to have originated in the South as a post-facto celebration for loved ones to get together to, well, sip (some light drinks) and see (you and the baby). The concept is gaining popularity lately, especially among parents who cannot have a baby shower for various reasons. ![]() Instead of being held before baby's arrival, these events take place after you've given birth or adopted your baby, says Mindy Weiss, founder of Mindy Weiss Party Consultants in Beverly Hills, California. Simply put: “A sip and see can be described as an intimate gathering or open house, typically hosted by the new mom or parents, to give family and friends the opportunity to meet or ‘see’ their new baby,” explains Katherine Kommer, lead planner for New York-based Baby Showers Inc. ![]()
![]() The other ‘magic ingredient’ in the mix, is ironically, little more than - salt. You can also use coconut oil to pop the kernels in, either something like Paragon linked to, or something else - but then that leaves you with what to use for the ‘butter.’ I’ve tried everything here, from slow melting of real butter, which works pretty well, but I’ve got to say - Snappy is that ‘movie theater butter’ and it works well and tastes good. This is pretty much soybean oil with some beta-carotene for coloring, but it is indeed, definitively, that ‘movie theater butter.’ I didn’t believe it either, but this is it. For true movie theater popcorn, the oil used for both popping the kernels AND the butter topping - is Snappy Butter Burst. So, there’s a ‘movie theater way’ which I’ll detail, and then some variants.įor making popcorn in the Whirley-Pop, you’re going to need some oil to pop the kernels. I’ll list out a few other options at the end of this article, but to save you the time, went through, tried and had OK results with air poppers, even microwave re-usable poppers, and came full circle to the only way to make reliable, consistently-similar-results popcorn is on the stove, with a few tips and tricks to turn it into a few minute exercise. I grew up where Jiffy Pop was a thing, as well as the evolution of microwave popcorn, or even more tasty - microwave kettle corn.īesides microwave popcorn being in general of questionable health, and the fact that convenience has a growing cost associated with it… compared to 8 pounds of popcorn for $11 or so… I decided ‘no more’ and it’s just time to do it myself. ![]() Further, while ‘simple’ snacks seem to blow themselves out to $5 a bag and more for potato or tortilla chips, popcorn can also become a reasonably economical alternative, and besides - who doesn’t like popcorn? Of course, there are a wide range of ways to make it that can make it better or worse, but it’s certainly an American tradition from fairs to movie theaters. So, in theory, popcorn is a reasonably not-so-unhealthy snack.

Accidental cameos have been something of a minor celebrity theme of quarantine, as seen in Alex Rodriguez’s covert appearance in a Jennifer Lopez Instagram post. The tabloid reported on Monday that, when Cristina stepped away from recommending Clorox treatments to teach an Instagram Live yoga class, she appeared to inadvertently capture her husband, in the nude, in the backyard of their Southampton home. Chris made fun of the size of Andrew’s nose in one interview bit that fell particularly flat as the governor’s handling of the pandemic continued to be questioned, and Donald Trump and CNN quibbled about Chris’s ratings.Ĭuomo is now back in Page Six, though, due to a seeming accident. The unceasing, self-consciously playful banter with Andrew Cuomo helped prompt some enduring scrutiny of the ethics of the dynamic, and also turned Chris and his wife Cristina Cuomo into something of tabloid stars.Ĭuomo coverage has operated at somewhat lower volume in recent weeks, as protests against racism and police brutality swell across the country. As a result, I am resigning today.In the early days of New York’s coronavirus crisis, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was in the spotlight, between his interviews with his governor brother and his own public battle with the virus. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. “I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. “As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years,” Zucker told employees in the memo. Zucker first informed CNN employees of his immediate resignation in a memo Wednesday morning. The 51-year-old CNN presenter, who allegedly earns 6m with his top-rated Cuomo Prime Time show and who despite promising to maintain journalistic distance from his brother’s travails, has been. The Post reported that AT&T, the parent company of WarnerMedia, forced Zucker to resign to bolster its case against Chris Cuomo, who is seeking a hefty payout. Stelter noted that Cuomo is “not going out quietly.” He described the downfall of the former New York governor, his brother’s dismissal from CNN and Zucker’s resignation as “a remarkable domino effect.” Camerota described Zucker, who stepped down amid a legal battle with former anchor Chris Cuomo, as “an incredible leader.” Andrew Cuomo, prepare his response to sexual harassment allegations. Stelter linked Zucker’s surprise exit with an ongoing legal fight between CNN and former anchor Chris Cuomo, who was fired last year after revelations that he helped his brother, former New York Gov. I don’t think that comes around all the time and I think, again, it’s an incredible loss,” she added. “I just know he had this unique ability to make us feel special. “He has this uncanny ability to make, I think, every one of us feel special and valuable in our own way, even though he is managing an international news organization of thousands of people.” CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota said the resignation of her boss Jeff Zucker “feels wrong,” given that it was over a relationship between consenting adults. “Jeff is a remarkable person and an incredible leader,” Camerota said. The Post reported that AT&T forced Zucker to resign to bolster its case against Chris Cuomo, who is seeking a hefty payout. WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar tapped three longtime CNN executives - Michael Bass, Amy Entelis and Ken Jautz - to serve as interim co-heads of the network until the company’s pending merger with Discovery is complete.Ĭamerota described Zucker as a “visionary leader” at CNN during his time as the network’s president. ![]() ![]() “That they can’t have a private relationship feels wrong.” ![]() If what you’re reporting is true, these are two consenting adults who are both executives,” Camerota said while addressing CNN media reporter Brian Stelter. “I just think it’s so regrettable how it happened.
