Ever since I discovered the Neo Natural Touch Brown circle lenses, I had been on somewhat of a circle lens craze. This is not to say that I have been mindlessly purchasing circle lenses of every color and every design. Rather, I had a specific goal in mind: to find the most comfortable, most natural-looking lenses for […]
THE Best Lounge Pants for Petites! (And Talls!)
A few weeks ago, I realized that the ratty old lounge pants I was donning were more than a decade old. They were stretched out, pilling, stained, and just plain ugly from age. Luckily, Old Navy was having a huge sale, so while picking up some new PJs for Claire, I decided to get a […]
My Samsung Galaxy Note II Review
A couple of weeks ago, I gathered up some information (how long I’ve been with Verizon Wireless, how much I spend per month, how I always pay my bill on time, and what other carriers are offering) and made a call to customer service. “My current phone is DYING,” I pleaded. “I’ve taken it to […]
Neo Natural Touch Brown Circle Lens Review, and an EyeCandys.com Giveaway!
Circle lenses, or cosmetic contact lenses which are designed to give the illusion of larger eyes, have been around in Asia since 2004 and started gaining popularity within the U.S. in the past few years. While some are designed to look natural by enlarging the irises just slightly, others can be quite snazzy with intricate […]
Sony RX100 Review [THE Best Point-and-Shoot!]
This past summer, the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100 was released and the web went on a media frenzy, practically all review sites declaring it to be the best compact point-and-shoot digital camera ever made. In fact, Time Magazine even named the RX100 one of the 25 Best Inventions of the Year 2012! Digital cameras have been […]
Holiday Movie Marathon
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas — And the Geek in Heels household has officially commenced its holiday movie marathon. 😀 Although many movies remain perennial favorites (see: It’s a Wonderful Life), I prefer the neo-classics from the 1990s to the early 2000s. My top five favorite holiday movies, in no particular order, […]
T-Shirts.com Review and Giveaway
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 […]

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 […]
Feedly: A Better RSS Reader
A couple of months ago, my friend Tara blogged about Feedly, an alternative to Google Reader. My knee-jerk reaction upon reading the title of the post was, “Why would anyone use anything besides Google Reader?” But as my eyes scanned down the body of the post, the more I wanted to give Feedly a try. […]
90s Flashback [“Answer Me 1997”]
I have a new obsession. (And if you’re friends with me on Facebook, you probably already know what I’m talking about.) It is a Korean drama called 응답하라 1997, or Answer Me 1997. As the title suggests, the show revolves around a group of friends who graduated high school in 1997. The story unfolds through […]
