Wonder Woman and Batgirl Shirts

I really, really want both! ThinkGeek always has the best stuff! Like the nom nom nom bib that we will definitely purchase for our little one. Perhaps I will get these shirts and use them as inspiration to lose weight after the baby comes? Via Fashionably Geek. You may also like: Simplified Skincare Routine at 44 Covry Glasses Review […]

Registry Judging [Rant]

This is a yet another post on mommy wars, specifically topic #4276: registries. With our baby shower less than a month away, J and I have been putting the finishing touches on our registries. In my studies of review sites and message boards for advice, I have come across many women who seem to have […]

Doggy Back Jacket

I have never been the type to adorn her pets with nonessential clothes or accessories. And although Comang is a shih-tzu, we keep his hair short because it is easier to maintain. However, as we enter our first winter together I am a bit worried that my little guy will suffer from the frigid northeast […]

Dorm in a Box

I probably spent thousands of dollars in dorm/apt essentials and deco over my college career. And all for what? Stuff I threw away, donated, or sold for less than 30% of their market value. I mean, who the heck buys twin extra long beds for their own house? Looking back, I regret the ridiculous amount […]

Comfortable Heels

Although I rarely venture out without heels, I’m ironically not that into shoes. I am much more of a bag hag than a shoe whore, and until recently never spent more than $100 on a pair of shoes. My mother stepped in to set me straight. “Shoes are so important to your health! If your […]

There’s No Place Like 127.0.0.1

Many years back I discovered a wonderful online store called ThinkGeek.com. I have ordered many items since then but my mind always lingered on the very first item that caught my attention: the There’s No Place Like 127.0.0.1 Doormat. (If you’re not a geek like me and don’t understand what the mat says, go read […]

Baby Geek

I’m at that age where a lot of people in my social circle are getting knocked up or trying to get preggers. Naturally this freaks me out because I still consider myself a kid. I may have a job and a mortgage to pay but I still have the tendency to regress back to my five-year-old self much more […]

Minding My Girls

At a recent girls night out, a few of my friends started gabbing about bras and how we all must get fitted for one. Eh? Didn’t we all go through this during puberty? My friends then went on to explain that most women are wearing the wrong bra size and only a fitting by a professional […]

Seamless

Hi, my name is Jenny and I don’t like Victoria’s Secret. I think their bras and underwear are overpriced, ill-fitting, and over-hyped. I can see how the American public can be drawn to Vicky’s by their mass advertising and their gorgeous models. I mean, c’mon – how many guys do you know who don’t stop whatever they’re doing and absently […]
