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 […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
My husband is not a very observant person. He hardly takes notice when I rearrange things around the house. He regularly misses stains and tears on the girls’ clothes. And I can’t remember if he’s ever acknowledged a new haircut on me — not even the time I chopped off 5 inches! So when he told […]
If you have some time to kill this weekend… And are looking for some fun, thrilling, intellectual entertainment… Go watch Sherlock. NOW. This BBC adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes detective stories is seriously one of the best television shows I’ve watched in a long, long time. Set in modern London, this brilliant series […]
One of the steps I am taking on my road to recovery is to exercise — not only for the physical benefits, but for the added endorphines as well. As mentioned in a previous post, my doctors have recommended yoga to help my neck heal and as a way to help me relax. I also […]
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.
