My natural hair is stick straight and has the tendency to hang straight down with no body or movement, as you can see from this photo of myself at 16: The Asian glamour photos that were so popular in the 90s. No matter how short I cut my hair, how much layers were cut in, […]
Being accepted as a blogger for Weddingbee has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I have forged amazing friendships, learned a great deal about blogging (and being a better person in general), and have found a treasure trove of inspiration for all aspects of my life. That being said, I sometimes […]
Yesterday I got my first period since losing the baby. From reading other women’s experiences, I knew that it would be heavier than normal. I knew that it would more painful than normal. I had prepared myself for it…or so I thought. The pain was excruciating, and my usual go-to remedy of Midol only dulled […]
I am not much of a jewelry person, but there is one piece I wear all the time: Tiffany & Co.’s Elsa Peretti Letter “J” Pendant (product page) J gave me this necklace soonafter we started dating, and it has adorned my neck for six years now. I never take it off — even when […]
A few days ago one of my favorite blogs, The Art of Manliness (yes I know I’m a girl but I still enjoy its content), published a post called A Man’s Guide to Dry Cleaning. The article was well-researched and well-written, and chock full of helpful information. However, it was apparent from the start that […]

When I first announced my pregnancy, Jenna enthusiastically emailed me to let me know that she just recently […]
I have lived in New York for the majority of my life. Hence I have been trained and brainwashed to think that New Jersey is an inferior state reserved for wannabe New Yorkers. The armpit of America. The toxic wastedump of the northeast. A garbage dump for New York. I have heard, and used, them […]
Six years ago on this exact date, a boy asked a girl if she would like to go check out an all-you-can-eat sushi joint. They had been friends for ages — and best friends for the past few months — so the proposed plan did not seem out of the norm. However, they found that […]
Right before I miscarried, I came down with a severe case of the flu. I was bedridden for days with a fever spiking at 102°F, debilitating body aches, and nausea. It remains to be seen whether what I had contracted was the swine flu. Since I was feeling better by the time I made it […]
Yesterday my mother took me to a doctor who specializes in Eastern medicine. After the precursory examination of my eyes, hands, nails, and taking my pulse for a long, long time, the doctor asked me, “Why are you so stressed out?” She went on to say that everything seems physically fine…it is just my mental […]
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.
