Winner of the DVD Player Giveaway!

I received an overwhelmingly positive response to the Geek in Heels DVD Player Giveaway, so thank you to all who entered! Unfortunately, I could not count all entries as they did not adhere to the following rules: Only one comment entry per person would be entered, however… Twitter entries were counted as many times as […]

Win a DVD Player!

Alright, I know that DVDs are on their way out but I still cling onto my 500+ DVD collection because I love movies that much (I have no taste and will watch anything). Our old Toshiba DVD player was decent, but all that changed when we upgraded our television to a widescreen HDTV LCD. With […]

Facebook No More

A few weeks ago, I deactivated my Facebook account. The funny thing is that although I had 350+ “Friends,” I’m pretty sure that not one person noticed my absence. Not even my husband. (Thanks, hun!)

Social Media Timeline

I used to be pretty active on several social media outlets. But lately the consistent chatter, as well as the time and energy needed to devote oneself fully to each site, has worn me out. These days I limit myself to Facebook and Twitter. And even Twitter has started to go ignored since Facebook released […]

I am by no means a fashionista.

So perhaps this is the reason I have NEVER heard of the über-popular blog Sea of Shoes until tonight. Jane Aldridge, the 17-year-old blogger behind Sea of Shoes. I found the site intriguing, much like a 5-car pileup on the LIE. You want to not look, but you can’t. Here is a 17-year-old girl — […]
