Eat something delicious for breakfast… Continue reading a better morning
I’m obsessed with La Croix. I drink at least one every day, usually a couple. Note: it is pronounced Luh Croy; it is not real French. It originated in Also-Fake-French La Crosse, Wisconsin. Under no circumstances should the R trill at all. It is not Lah Crrrrwah. Luh Croy rhymes with The Boy. Just deal… Continue reading luh croy
I’m feeling veeery bookish these days. Obviously, I am always pretty bookish, but I’ve been trying to cut down on spending (don’t tell my Sephora cart, which is always full of sheet masks) and consequently have been reading more instead of running around with a credit card.

Appropriately, I… Continue reading media consumption of march 2015
Another month, another chance to tell you what I am reading. You all should be glad I plowed through my “in progress” reading and finished four books since I last caught you up on my bookshelf. Right now I only have one (ONE!!) active book going. But it’s a real doozy, so I’ve been tempted,… Continue reading february 2015 reading
Today, my friend Joyce posted on her blog about her issues with winter skin. Now, I’m not sure I believe her completely, as she is currently living in Southern California, but we’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. Here is how I’m surviving in the mid-Atlantic. I wish I had been doing all of… Continue reading five favorites for winter skin
Tuesdays are the worst day of the week. I think it’s a fact. Here are some happier notes for this Wednesday. I hope you survived the dreadful Tuesday. 1. SERIAL SERIAL SERIAL.
