  1. Summer in the City - We're Melting!

    There is no doubt about it – it’s hot outside. Very hot! And from the looks of the extended forecast, we better get used to it. I love summer as much as anyone, but when it’s too hot for me to lay out on the patio and attempt to get a healthy glow, that’s a problem. It is incredibly gross and uncomfortable outside – and unlike most of the country that is able to get from point A to point B in an air conditioned vehicle, we here in NYC are forced to navigate the steamy streets of what feels literally like a concrete jungle.

    andrew goetz and matthew malin with isaora

    Matthew Malin purchased this Isaora jacket, modeling here with Marc Daniels and his partner, Karelin (and their dog) at the Wieden+Kennedy Pop Up Shop. Both Marc and Karelin are M+G customers. I asked if I could share the skincare advice I gave Marc and Karelin while at the event.

    Karelin--who has nearly perfect skin, was concerned with acne. She has a few hardly noticeable little bumps on her forehead. It is a hot and humid summer in NYC, and, perspiration most likely created some unwanted oiliness near her hairline. I recommended our
