This past Memorial Day, we decided to visit Green Meadows Farm, a “petting farm” 45 mins from Manhattan. My daughters seem to be city girls. Aerin wasn’t too impressed with the farm animals, while Claire was scared of most of them. We weren’t able to get too many pictures because we had to keep holding the […]
We interrupt this self-imposed, life-is-damn-busy-and-hard blogging break to bring you an item of frivolity. (You can scroll down to the bottom of the post for a tiny update on my going-abouts.) Once again, I am waaayyyyy late to a fashion trend. I remember borrowing J’s jeans a few times when I was pregnant, when none of my […]
Each of these items run less than $10. They’re all used and loved by yours truly, and I will definitely be making repurchases when they run out. I can’t recommend these enough! Palladio Rice Paper, $4 I’ve used blotting paper in the past — all the popular ones like the Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing […]
I was incorrect in guessing that my glasses frames from Warby Parker hadn’t yet shipped, because they arrived yesterday! Once again, I apologize for my sucky selfies. My favorites are the ones on the top two rows. 🙂 As mentioned in yesterday’s post, I also ordered at-home try on frames from Classic Specs: The frames […]
The past two months were some of the roughest of my life. My family and close friends were plagued with various health problems and hospitalizations, two of which resulted in death…and one a stillbirth. 😥 J and I are getting buried in medical bills (did you know what if a hospital stay runs from the […]
I envy women who can look “dewy” and “refreshed” during the hot, humid days of summer. Not only does my combination skin kick up its sebum production into overdrive, I tend to sweat…a lot. (Attractive, I know.) So while my normal routine may work just fine during other seasons, I have needed a tad bit […]
Starting a couple of weeks ago, I began to run into Netflix streaming issues. Movies would take forever to load, and when they finally did, they would start lagging after just a few minutes. I then realized that this only happened between the hours of 9pm-11pm. I knew that there weren’t any programs or processes […]
ETA, March 2015:I am now hosting this site with Squidix, and have been very happy with their service. You can read a full review here. Short version: my site was down for 45 hours this weekend due to Hawk Host’s abysmal support. Because I was well within their “30-day money back guarantee” period, I have […]
You may have noticed that this blog was down this past Friday. In fact, you may have noticed that a bunch of sites were down that day, and I’ll tell you why. When I first switched to HostGator, everything was fine and dandy. HostGator is was known to be one of the very few RELIABLE web […]
Gather ’round, boys and girls! It’s time for show and tell: contact lens and eye care edition. I’ve been wearing soft contact lenses for almost two(!) decades now, and I can’t believe I only just discovered the following contact lens care products. Yeah, yeah…a good portion of my readers are Asian and most likely have known […]
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.
