‘Tis the day before Thanksgiving, and all through the house/mansion/chateau/penthouse/pied-a-terre/castle/villa, the denizens of Dandelion Chandelier world are in a frenzy. Some are packing franticly for themselves and two or more kids; others are welcoming waves of houseguests at a rate that threatens to become a tsunami; some are brining turkeys, or baking multiple pies.

Holiday party season is almost upon us, and you know what that means: time to sparkle and shine head to toe, and to have some well-deserved fun. Before the festivities begin, you’re going to want to spend some time at the salon getting fluffed and folded — hair, eyebrows, mani-pedi, you know the routine. In the rush of holiday shopping, concerts and other special events, plus all the duties of regular life, we here at Dandelion Chandelier frequently find ourselves longing for a proper luxury facial at our favorite spa before the whirl of holiday parties, but never have the time to get one. Enter the perfect solution: facial masks! They won’t completely substitute for a professional facial, but they are certainly a lot better than nothing, especially in a pinch. But which ones are worth the time and the expense? Our crack team of correspondents has investigated, and our report is below.

Here at Dandelion Chandelier, we’ve noticed that a lot of wealthy people are avid cyclists, either outdoors or on a stationary bike or both. It’s a strong pattern in finance and tech, in particular.

In fact, if you’re an entrepreneur pitching your business to investors in Silicon Valley, you’ll find it a distinct advantage to be able to do so while on a bike.
