Have I mentioned that I’ve been very self-conscious about my looks these past few months? Only about a dozen or so times! Along with the almost-20 lbs I’ve stacked on, pregnancy has also changed my body chemistry so much to a point where my old tried-and-true beauty products just have not been cutting it. My […]
Yesterday I watched what many women claim the must-see movie for all expectant mothers: The Business of Being Born. My take on this documentary is that while it was informative and had some valid points, but it cast hospitals and OB-GYNs in a very harsh light. I fear that many women who watch this movie […]
As an avid reader and a book whore, one of the first things I did after getting a positive pregnancy test was to head to the bookstore and buy a pregnancy book! I have since bought quite a few more (and been gifted a great one) so I thought I’d share my thoughts on them […]
Our beloved Roomba has died. Correction: it is “disabled.” It has lost a lot of its suction power, its parts constantly need replacing, and it’s nearly not as “smart” as it used to be. So we made the difficult decision to get a replacement vacuum. I have experienced my share of vacuum frustration over the […]
I love, LOVE scary movies. Even the cheesy, stereotypical fares dripping in red corn syrup. So when I finally got my hands on 2009’s phenom Paranormal Activity, I immediately curled up on the couch with a bag of microwave popcorn and pressed “play” in anticipation of high horror. My verdict: ‘Eh.’ There were some scary […]
J isn’t one for extravagant gifts, but this past Christmas he gifted me with something I had been drooling over for a very long time: the Motorola Droid. I convinced J to order the phone through Amazon, since its $149.99 pricetag was a lot more attractive than the $199.99 offered by Verizon Wireless stores. (Note: […]
Last month the skin on my face became extra dry and flaky. I immediately panicked, because this has never happened to me before. Call it aging. Blame it on the harsh weather. Whatever the reason, I knew that my regular moisturizer just wasn’t cutting it anymore. I dove into my bag of samples and found […]
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, […]
When I first found out I was pregnant, the baby-preparation experience I looked forward to the most was not decorating the nursery or picking out the baby clothes. It was building the baby’s first library. As a avid lover of books, I absolutely cannot wait to introduce my child to all the books I loved […]
I have a new obsession, and that show is Glee. After downloading all 5 episodes in the season so far, including the director’s cut of the pilot, I pressed “play” on my computer expecting not much more than another over-hyped sitcom. Not so, my friends. I proceeded to watch all 5, right after the other, […]
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.
