I googled “Alaskan fashion” and here’s what I found: Utterly horrifying. And let me say, I’ve lived here pretty much my whole life, and I have never seen anybody wear something this atrocious. I hope I never do. If you are interested in owning a hat that is not only inhumane but a crime against good [...]
The other day I awoke with one burning question in my mind: what is a crumpet? I know it’s a strange question, and I’ve no idea where it came from, but nonetheless I was consumed with the desire to know what exactly a crumpet was, and more importantly, what it tastes like. I knew it [...]
I’m slacking I know. I haven’t posted in THREE WHOLE DAYS and I’m sure that the blogosphere is really upset about it. Right? RIGHT?! Unfortunately, I don’t really have anything to post yet, so I’m going to distract you with puppies! I love how Petunia’s like, “I’m so pretty, I love dressing up!” and Coco’s [...]
I’m a huge sucker for any kind of bath or beauty product. But I know that a lot of them, especially in the US, where they’re not hardly regulated, contain dangerous ingredients that are harmful to people and the environment. So I always make an effort to read in ingredient label and try to stay [...]
I treated myself to a matinee viewing of Confessions of a Shopholic today, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I laughed out loud more than once, Isla Fisher is adorable, Hugh Dancy is tousled and charming and English, and above all it was COLORFUL. I’ve been craving a shot of color in [...]
I was browsing some new blogs today, when I happened upon a new one that I quite liked, The Mux Stops Here. When I saw Margeaux’s creation from mrpicassohead.com, I had to try it myself. Here’s my self-portrait: That was fun. Also, I’m clearly an amazing artist. Don’t be jealous.
Despite having to work, I had a pretty great Valentine’s Day. I delivered cookies to my family and my coworkers. Note that I made peanut butter blossoms with both milk and dark chocolate kisses. Unfortunately I forgot that my sister has a peanut allergy. Sorry Lara! These are the cookies my mom made. Yeah, they’re [...]
Hmm, this valentine is kind of menacing, but is by no means the creepiest valentine I found on a “vintage valentine” Google image search. When I was eight, I wrote and directed a play about the history of Valentine’s Day. I don’t know how I did the research, since Al Gore hadn’t invented the Internet [...]
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, I’m sure you’ve heard about the terrible wildfires in Australia. I have several loyal, loveable Australian readers and my heart goes out to them and the rest of the country as they deal with this tragedy. Obviously I can’t do much about it from here in Alaska, but [...]
