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
With as avid a reader as I am (and I know Coralie is too), I am surprised that book reviews don’t get a lot of play on the website. Which is why, going back and polishing/editing my book review posts… 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
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
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
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
I’ve been off the grid, both in the blog-o-sphere and in real life… but, I’m back… kind of. I’m flying back to LA from Georgia this Tuesday with plans to resume bloglyfe tout suite. But, until then, let me leave… Continue Reading
Life is all about upgrading and leveling up. Every birthday is a level up. Every job promotion a life upgrade. But, not only do upgrades apply to cell phones and technology… but also to furniture. College is really the first… Continue Reading
Happy Friday, Y’all. Way to make it! I usually try to space my Fun Foto Fridays out to once every few months… but the good/funny times were rolling quickly and I wanted to log in my pics before they got too many… Continue Reading
This past weekend, Josh and I had the privilege of attending a most lovely wedding. And just like at every other wedding I’ve attended, I wept tears of joy. The air at weddings positively radiates with high energy and a spectrum of emotions. Being in the middle… Continue Reading
Do you ever get on a flavor kick? Where a certain flavor haunts your taste buds all day? I’ve been on a HUGE vinegar kick lately. When your body craves something, it is often because there is a nutrient deficiency. A cursory internet… Continue Reading
The high-low hem trend looks as if it is here to stay– and why not? It’s fabulous. A high-low hem is basically the mullet of design– but in a great way– with a shorter hem in front and a longer one… Continue Reading
For those of you who keep track of these things, this post is late. Like, squeezing in under the wire, late. It has just been that kind of week, you know? Which might also explain why this post is a little… Continue Reading
Hope you like bug carcasses… cause today’s post has got ’em! Apologies in advance. Do you know what is amazing? Fruit. I know that’s kind of a ‘duh’ sentiment, but think about the myriad of varietals out there. As someone… Continue Reading
One of the many awesome things about returning to California from my long trip to Georgia was that I had not one but TWO Birchboxes waiting for me! You may recall, back in June (seems like forever ago- when did JUNE… Continue Reading
With school starting for so many (both kids and parents) and the summer dwindling down, it is hard to believe it is already Labor Day. Didn’t Summer just start? But, here we are… so, happy Labor Day, Y’all! There is… Continue Reading
30,000 feet above middle America is not normally the place to have a private dance party. I found myself, much to the chagrin of my neighbor, doing just that this past January. While flying back to California from one of… Continue Reading
