Recommendables

I’ve uploaded a bunch of photos from the break. If it seems like all we did was eat, play wii, play cards, and play Scrabble, then you got a pretty accurate view of the trip. =) Hope everyone had a nice holiday season.
I’m not much of one for resolutions cos they always seem [...]

Anti-Chafe

After we saw A Shopper’s Guide to Home Tissue Products, we decided to switch over to brands with more post-consumer recycled content. We’ll be switching things as we finish up what we already have, but I mean, as far as napkins or paper towels are concerned, I’m pretty whatevers. HOWEVER! Y’all know [...]

Sparkly

Walked into Sephora to look at their makeup brush selection on Saturday. Walked out with 0 brushes (they are hella expensive!) but 1 sparkly eye shadow/liner by LORAC (what does that stand for? why’s it all caps?) in Midnight Sparkle, cos at least it’s black so it’ll be more practical (than pink or [...]

Menstrual Cups and Whatnot

I’m going to speak mildly frankly about menstrual stuffs, so if you are easily squicked out, consider yourself forewarned.:p
A few years back, I happened to see Instead Softcups for sale somewhere, and since I was interested in a tampon alternative, I picked up a small package of them. The idea was, I would use [...]

Diamonds are so annoying.

Have you seen those diamond commercials on tv that say, “This anniversary, tell her I forever do.” or something awful like that? Everytime I hear that I am soooo annoyed. Soooo sooo annoyed. I mean for goodness’ sake, does that mean the first time around was, “Hmm, I do want an option [...]

Telegraph

Took this tonight with the cameraphone:) Telegraph looks like anywhere else at night.

New Glasses

When I first looked at glasses late last year, I really wanted this rimless hingeless pair from Silhouette which were super light and cute in a pinkish color (I think model 7473 if you are curious), but they were backordered, so I canceled the order and added money to my Healthcare Reimbursement Account (or Flexible [...]

Cell Phone

Well, so I broke my cell phone like a week and a half ago. It was a Motorola something or other. I’ll update with the model if I can find the information. It was a sucky sucky phone which I wouldn’t recommend for anyone. But it’s also old which means that [...]

Bleeding but Sassy

Have you seen the new(-ish) tampon line, dittie?

Yeah, the whole gimmick is that tampons that come packaged in pink wrappers with “sassy messages” printed on them will make “your period more fun!” Yeah, really, that’s what it says on the website.
Some of the messages are chuckleworthy, like, “Wanna know Victoria’s Secret? It’s called airbrushing” [...]

The Harry Potter Experience

At 12:01am, sales of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince went on sale. In anticipation of this, lots and lots of bookstores all over opened late, with balloons and witches and cookies and drinks and whatnot.
Which I know cos just after midnight, I was home. But soon after, I wasn’t:p

If you look carefully, [...]
