Moving In
A bathhouse from wellness coach Liz Tortolani, cityWell, hits Gowanus (496 President St.).
�The indoor portion � with a three-person steam room and showers � is already open ($25 for two hours), and now we’re working on the 1,500-square-foot yard, which come January will have a cedar sauna, hammock, fire pit, and yoga platform. I’m not concerned about opening in the winter, because the point is for people to experience leaving a hot sauna and cooling off outside in the elements. The temperature switch is said to have a really detoxifying effect. That’s why I call this a bath��house and not a spa � sure, I’ll give aromatherapy massages ($110 per hour), but it’s really about better health. And it’s exhilarating.�
How to Groom Your Man-brows

opening of L’Occitane’s first men’s boutique, which will offer in-store haircuts, brow trims, and facials (48 Ninth Ave.).

1. �Tweeze any hairs between the two brows; remove just enough to create separation. A good guideline is to line up the hairline with the inside corner of the nose.�
2. �Men start to get wild hairs as they age; one or two will grow much longer than the rest. If that happens, comb your eyebrows straight up and use a pair of safety scissors to individually trim the longer pieces. Check back for these every ten days.�
3. �Once that’s finished, comb your eyebrows back into place using an over-and-down motion in the direction they grow in. Follow up with an aftershave to calm the skin if there’s still redness where the unibrow used to be.�
Ask a Shop Clerk
June Kenton, who holds a British royal warrant
to dress the queen, just opened a shop in Flatiron for her lingerie brand, Rigby & Peller (104 Fifth Ave.).

What kind of bras does Queen Elizabeth wear? �I’ve never told anybody that, but I will tell you that she’s the most incredible woman and looks so good for nearly 90. I go to Buckingham Palace, because whatever we supply the queen is made-to-measure and one-off, just for her. In our stores, we have everything from lace Aubade bras with tassels ($316) to more practical and supportive Elomi Caitlyn lingerie sets ($90). Our experts always do fittings by sight � taking into consideration things like how narrow or wide your back is, in addition to what’s going on in the front. Measuring somebody just gives you a number; it doesn’t tell you what type of body they’ve got. Your whole life changes when your bra fits. We change people’s lives.�
Top Five

�I designed this Champagne bucket ($1,030) for our London studio’s restaurant, because everything else I found was generic or ugly. You can also use it as a huge ashtray.�

�This contemporary wingback chair ($5,000) was originally made for the Shoreditch House in London. There’s a headrest so you can snooze after your long alcoholic lunch.�

�This copper cast shoe ($195) is a doorstop, but it can also be used as a temporary hammer and for warding off attackers in the middle of the night: decorative as well as practical.�

�My stone spice grinder ($125) is the epitome of expressive minimalism, where you understand the function of the object without too much detail or decoration.�

�The Tank decanter ($125) is a multipurpose vessel for water, wine, or whiskey. Its inspiration is the science lab, but the copper makes it a bit more precious.�
