I’ve been meaning to do this for quite some time now, and I’m happy to finally cross it off my to-do list! I think that every mother has different products they consider “must-haves,” in addition to some on the “don’t bother” list. So I want to preface our lists by saying that every family — […]

I have been using Squarespace since 2008 when I was asked to test their new V5 platform, and even wrote an extensive review on it after deciding to switch over from WordPress. I still believe it to be the best blogging platform available, and wholeheartedly recommend it to all my friends and colleagues. But as much […]
Circle Lenses are special contact lenses that are designed to make the wearer’s irises appear larger, creating a doe-eyed, anime-like appearance. Many in the western world first became acquainted with them when the NYTimes and The Inquisitr recently ran pieces warning consumers of their potential dangers. The fact of the matter is, Circle Lenses have been around […]
A couple of months ago I forgot to bring my shampoo while staying at my parents’ house. I stood in the shower pondering my choices. I could use my sister’s Herbal Essences, or the cheap Costco brand that has been sitting in the corner for more than a year. The thing is, I’m ultra-sensitive to […]

Instead, you glide your finger from letter to letter, forming words without your […]
I know we’re only two episodes in, but I’m loving the new season of True Blood so far. As someone who owns, and has read all the Southern Vampire Mysteries books, I can confidently say that the HBO series is significantly better than the books. There are, of course, some digressions and cast choices with which I […]
Have I mentioned that I’ve been very self-conscious about my looks these past few months? Only about a dozen or so times! Along with the almost-20 lbs I’ve stacked on, pregnancy has also changed my body chemistry so much to a point where my old tried-and-true beauty products just have not been cutting it. My […]
Yesterday I watched what many women claim the must-see movie for all expectant mothers: The Business of Being Born. My take on this documentary is that while it was informative and had some valid points, but it cast hospitals and OB-GYNs in a very harsh light. I fear that many women who watch this movie […]
As an avid reader and a book whore, one of the first things I did after getting a positive pregnancy test was to head to the bookstore and buy a pregnancy book! I have since bought quite a few more (and been gifted a great one) so I thought I’d share my thoughts on them […]
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.
