Post-Partum Hair Loss

Jan 29. 2011

A couple of weeks ago I noticed an unusual amount of hair lying around the house. Note that I am always "shedding" a lot of hair — one of my ex-boyfriends used to say that he could always tell which rooms I have been in just by looking at the hair on the ground — so imagine just how much more hair there must be for me to become concerned. My post-partum hair loss had started. I had read that some women's hair can fall out in clumps, and that's exactly what has been happening to me. Chunks of matted hair on my pillow. A mangled mess in the bathroom drain. And hair everywhere on the floor. I keep my hair up in a...

Jan 17. 2011

Raising my daughter without the help of my in-laws has (surprisingly) been a lot easier than I thought. And while there are times when I am missing them sorely because I am dying for a nap or want to go run a quick errand without doing all the time-consuming things that involve going out with an infant, I have found that most of the time, taking care of the baby on my own is actually easier than having others help out...

Blogging Break

Jan 02. 2011

In addition to Claire's extra fussiness during the past week, a series of circumstances have left me severely disappointed and disheartened with the world and its inhabitants. Furthermore, J's parents will be returning to Hong Kong tomorrow. Which means that it will be just me with the baby (and Comang) from now on while J is at work. While I am grateful for all the help that my in-laws have provided, I wish they had gradually given me more time alone with the baby so that I will not be scared so sh*tless for the upcoming days/weeks/months (however long it will take for me to adjust to my new living situation). As such, I have decided to take a break from blogging. I...

The Geekinheels.com Web Empire

Nov 20. 2010

Webempires is a neat tool that aims to visualize the traffic of every website on the web. Basing its figures on the popular traffic aggregator Alexa, the site can be used to answer questions such as: What if your website was a country? What if all your visitors gathered in one place? And more! As of today, Alexa lists this blog as having 9,537 visitors per day. So if Geekinheels.com were a country, it would be larger than Montserrat! And if all the daily visitors were to gather in one place at the same time, it would surpass the number of people who gathered to break the Guinness World Record for the most people simultaneously making snow angels in one place: How does your site, or...

Guest Post: Branding Your Blog

Nov 03. 2010

With some social media experience under my belt (in addition to freelancing work that has led me to some top social media mavens), the topic of blogging and branding your blog has always held a special interest in my heart. In this guest post, reader Kate talks about the importance of branding your blog and chronicles her journey in re-branding. Enjoy! What do you do when your blog isn’t such a good fit for you anymore? I have been wondering about this for a while now. There were many times I would post something and think, "Wow, my blog really has nothing to do with what it's called." Usually I would shrug it off and tell myself it didn't really matter. After all,...
