Happy Thanksgiving! In honor of the holiday, I’d like to share with you a series of photographs by Hannah Rothstein. Each picture depicts theatrical plate stylings from some of the most recognizable names in art. I’m a bit bummed that my two favorite artists (Modigliani and Kandinsky) weren’t included, but I gotta admit that each arrangement […]

Shiseido Benefique Skincare Review and Giveaway!
It’s no secret that I’ve amped up my skincare routine in the past few months.

I’ve already shared this on Facebook and Twitter, but I found it so fascinating that I need to blog about it too! Map Your Mind is an online quiz created by GE neuroscientists and BrainMic which tells you which famous people’s brains are most like your own. I know all personality tests — especially online […]
Lightsabers
I’m still sick. Actually, I’m sicker, with a fever that reached 102.4° last night. The good news is that the girls are doing much better.
