I’m kind of in love with this set of restylized Disney princesses by MikeVDesign. I would love to play as Ariel to see if her trident is as intimidating as it looks, but I also want to stay true to my teenage years and play as Cinderella for her Chun-Li-esque hyakuretsukyaku. You may also like: […]
Three More Amazing Beauty Products
I envy women who can look “dewy” and “refreshed” during the hot, humid days of summer. Not only does my combination skin kick up its sebum production into overdrive, I tend to sweat…a lot. (Attractive, I know.) So while my normal routine may work just fine during other seasons, I have needed a tad bit […]
An Update on Aerin
Yesterday, we had our final meeting with the Early Intervention (EI) evaluation and placement team.

I considered my options. If I respond, people like her would […]
Please Stand By…
I know I’ve been blabbering on about my recent web host transfer and related maintenance issues, and that most people reading won’t even care. But.
