@gabrielailiescuofficial by @carmeloredondofotografo   Are We Heading for Another Attempted Waterbed Revival Pop on your Tommy Bahama, slide on your flip-flops, and let’s get into bed. A bed of water. Revival or not, you won’t find us floating to sleep. Because if we had a waterbed, we wouldn’t be able to silence the voice in our head, questioning, “Is it leaking? Is it leaking? Is it leaking?”  The internet smells a comeback. Smells a little funky to us.   Weekend Comfort and Workday Cachet in One Pair of Shoes [Partner]  You’re like us. Even when you’re loosening up, you don’t want to lose your professional edge, style wise. The Ethan Derby Shoe gives you the best of both worlds. Modeled after the classic derby version, the Ethan has airy brogue-style perforations throughout the leather upper, offering all-day comfort and coolness. Complemented by a white EVA midsole, the silhouette takes on an almost athletic look that quietly whispers, “casu-luxe.”  Available in Cognac or Black colorways, you might just decide you need both.   The Known Unknowns about Ozempic, Explained We know people rave about Ozempic helping with weight loss and health goals. Thumbs up to that. But do we know what we don’t know about this drug yet? Yes and no. Thankfully, Vox has the answers. Or rather, the unanswerable.  Vox is good at explaining things.   What Is Smellmaxxing? A New Fad Involves Mostly Men Trying to Maximize or Improve Their Body Scent Smellmaxxing is the word TikTok invented to define boys attempting to smell like not boys. Which is cute. Because this isn’t some new “trend.” This is something guys have been doing forever. When we were young, before school dances, we would sneak into our parents’ room and steal a couple spritzes of our father’s Burberry Brit. We’re guessing every guy ever has a similar story.  Go ahead, TikTok. Pretend you invented it.   Those Markings on the Sides of Your Sunglasses Serve a Secret Purpose, But They Might Be Hiding Something We haven’t left the house without sunglasses since oh-nine. We even have a couple pairs for rainy days that aren’t as dark. Sure, we could argue fashion or function. But the truth is, they’ve become our adult security blanket. They make us more comfortable in public. Like we’re hiding while also saying look at me.  Kind of like the rivets on them.   The Mixer Why Thailand is the new hub for craft chocolate. A look at Dead & Company's first night in residence at Las Vegas's Sphere. Nine ways to become more courageous. What are parasocial relationships? What I learned from doing the same thing every day🔺 for more than 12 years. What an intimacy coordinator does. What Kurt Vonnegut called Frank Sinatra and John Wayne.     /GTFO @jordhammond | Vietnam     Our Gentleman's Agreement We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
