I recently read an article on Mental Floss (and you guys know how much I love Mental Floss) that I wanted to share with you guys. The article concerns the science behind caffeine. I guess I never really sat… Continue Reading
Today, I wanted to share one of my favorite t-shirt mods! It (sadly) isn’t one that I came up with, but it is the one that (when I wear it) I get asked about the most. It is one of… Continue Reading
I am a snacker. I said it. It’s something I’m working on, but left to my own devices, I’ll snack #alldaylong. I try to either limit my snacks or surround myself with better snacking options. Although I love fresh fruit,… Continue Reading
Who am I kidding? For as long as I live, there will always be jive in my life– in all of its forms. Today is my 35th birthday. Some years go flying past without much to note. This was not… Continue Reading
I would like to offer a million apologies to our readers and to Coralie. I have been M.I.A. for the last two weeks: no posts, no #waybackwwednesday, no nuffin’. There is just something about being back in Georgia that makes a… Continue Reading
Remember when I did Birchbox product reviews? Yeah. Although a good subject idea, our modified posting schedule and life’s craziness got in the way of that venture. Plus, there are many out there who do it better than I, so I… Continue Reading
I am a frequent traveler. In fact, I am writing this post from Georgia, having flown out of LAX last Sunday. Traveling/packing is stressful, no matter how you slice it. So stressful, in fact, that it caused this weeks ‘Way Back Wednesday’ feature… Continue Reading
I was born with a severe case of wanderlust. As such, to sate that proclivity and prepare for future adventures, I enjoy watching travel shows. In many a segment, Western tourists are often dismayed or off put by the “primitive”… Continue Reading
T-shirts, amirite? I don’t know about you guys, but I have two drawers full of them. Not only do I collect cool t-shirts, but (like everyone else), I ALSO inadvertently acquire free, scratchy ones. Some of those get used as practice-runs for t-shirt mods,… Continue Reading
For me, not having the right tool for the job can be one of the most frustrating things. I am all about working smarter, not harder. If I must do chores, then I want them done as quickly and efficiently… Continue Reading
I love clothing pieces that come with sewn-in hanger straps. It’s a small pleasure, but it makes life easier. Ain’t nobody got time for finding bunched-up clean clothes that have fallen on the closet floor off their hanger. Although we already know… Continue Reading
When we had our meeting to discuss what we wanted to do to celebrate our 2 year blogaversary the easiest decision was deciding to once again share our favorites and flops from the past year. After all, looking back and… Continue Reading
Every four minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every. Four. Minutes. As many of you know, my brother (Russell) was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia this past September. He has valiantly completed the eight, five-day, hospitalized chemotherapy treatments that were the prescribed course for his treatment. Due to… Continue Reading
I’ve mentioned before my complex relationship with my hair. It has only been within the last several years that I have really developed an understanding and positive relationship with it. I attribute my hair-acceptance to three things: the internet, flat-iron… Continue Reading
During a recent spate of particularly uninspired dish washing, I stacked a glass into a mug to make more room on the counter. When I finally got around to doing the dishes, I found that no matter how I tried,… Continue Reading
I’ve made no secret of my love for Casabella Waterstop Premium Gloves on this blog– in fact, I have proclaimed quite loudly my undying brand loyalty. Which is why, when rumblings of a Casabella Waterstop Premium Gloves shortage started, I freaked… Continue Reading
Many a Fun Foto Friday ago, I jokingly posted something close to the following: Because I am a top-notch blogalist, I provided zero scientific fact regarding why some ketchups are “fancy” and went right for the joke. Classic… Continue Reading
I have inherited my mom’s flare for presentation. I love setting a beautiful table or putting together a beautifully wrapped present. But, in the last couple of years, as I have looked at the pile of wrapping detritus from a… Continue Reading
I’ve had an extra week to think about what direction I want my 2015 to take. I started out my New Year with a sinus infection which morphed into the flu (it’s reached epidemic proportions in Georgia). I hope… Continue Reading
You didn’t think I would stop doing Fun Foto Fridays even though I’m now a Monday poster, did you? Surely, not. And don’t call me, Shirley. Sorry for the lateness of this post, but I fly back out to Georgia tomorrow… Continue Reading
