Upgrade Your Daily Rituals

Splurge on soap: Why wash your hands with bland bars when lathering up could transport you to a lavender field in Provence, France? That’s why I spend a bit extra to fill my dispensers with A La Maison Lavender Aloe Liquid Hand Soap. With notes of aloe, eucalyptus, musk and amber, the recipe dates to 1828. – Dina Chiney

Consider Their Character

One day, a good friend of mine — a former roommate and tenant — sent an email to me and some friends. He just lost his job and humbly asked all of us if he we could loan him money for one month’s rent.

It was unusual for him to ask for such a loan. My friend is a hardworking man who is responsible with his money. He was a dependable roommate and tenant who always paid on time.

I consulted with my wife. She suggested that we lend him the full amount and consider it a gift. We were in a financial position where we could afford to do so. My friend was very grateful. From what I understand, we were the only ones in the group email to lend him money.

About a year later, after he found another job and got back on his feet again, he paid us back in full. It was a pleasant but not total surprise considering his character and our friendship. Though we were totally fine with letting the money go as a gift, it was nice to know that friends can keep their word too. —Oscar Fornoles
