The year was 1991. I was a young girl transitioning into an awkward mess of acne and hormones. Who knew that I was about to be met with an entirely new world of magic and wonders? I was at a sleepover. Despite what the media has you to believe, none of the sleepovers I attended […]
I am of the opinion that one cannot have too many comfy t-shirts. And if that shirt has a geeky or witty design on it? More the better! So when the online apparel store T-Shirts.com contacted me about doing a review, I didn’t hesitate. How can I say no to a company that lists Star Wars […]
Here’s a pretty funny (but mostly accurate!) panel of comics about how much we’ve cared about Star Wars, starting from the 1970s all the way to the 2010s. I still can’t believe it’s been thirty-five years since Episode IV first came out; can you? You may also like: Once Upon an Internet The Jedi Trainer’s Guide to […]
Aerin was only 4 months old when I first wrote about her eczema. We had been hoping that she would grow out of the condition by 6 months old, or even 1 year old, but that has not been the case. 🙁 However, we have tried new products and changed her skin routine somewhat, so I […]
You guys, I discovered the best thing today… A Calvin and Hobbes search engine!!! Calvin and Hobbes remains my favorite comic strip despite the fact that it is no longer published. And as I have written in the past, one of my all-time favorite gifts from J is the Calvin and Hobbes Boxed Set. I can’t […]
What do you guys think? Pretty accurate? I can’t remember the last time I drank drank in LA (as in go out to a bar/lounge, not just have a beer or two with dinner…or get tipsy at a wedding 😉 ), but what I do remember are the early last calls and the relatively cheaper drinks. Oh, […]
A few days ago, Claire told her first lie. She and Aerin were playing together when Claire got angry over something, grabbed the toy in Aerin’s hand, and threw it. And when J approached her to remind her that she shouldn’t throw things, she outright told him that it was Aerin who threw the toy! […]
Did you all have a good Thanksgiving? Have you found any good deals on Black Friday? Because today is Cyber Monday — and because we are approaching the end of the year with the holidays just around the corner — I’ve decided to compile a list of my favorite beauty products. The last time I […]
Books and infographics. How could I resist? Designed by Italian artist Giorgia Lupi, this timeline of future events as predicted by famous novels was originally published in the Sunday supplement of Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera. She generously created an English version for the site Brain Pickings, and I can’t help but be mesmerized! The resulting visualization is predictably HUGE, […]
Ever since Aerin got sick last week, she has been super SUPER clingy to me. Before her illness, she was a pretty independent little girl. Now she needs to be held all the time — only by me, no less, and starts screaming her head off if she can’t see me. Even her two favorite […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
