Two for the shoe show… I’m going to have Elvis in my head all day now. Why, you ask? (Or maybe you didn’t, but it’s okay. I’ll just have this conversation on my own.) We...
Try saying that three times fast. I’m doing the Shoeper Shoe Challenge. What’s that, you ask? It pretty much means that, over the course of the next year, I am going to wear every single ...
This is Isobel. I usually call her Izzy or “Dammit, cat!” Adorable, isn’t she? Well, under that fuzzy exterior lies a heart of pure malice that is out to get me. (Warning: the follo...
I put together a playlist to get myself out of the dumps, and I thought some of y’all might be in need of a pick-me-up, too. Name Time Artist Album Firework 3:48 Katy Perry Teenage Dream (Delux...
Rugged Wearhouse is one of those stores I never paid much attention to. The name led me to assume that it was a sporting goods store, maybe owned by the people who run Men’s Wearhouse. I should...
I realize that this blog has been laying dormant for a while now. There were a lot of reasons for this, such as my ridiculous schedule, health issues, and the feeling that I had painted myself into a...

Well, I didn’t feel that great today, and the only place I went was to give my sister a ride to the bank, so my bright lips were kind of a waste. Still, they cheered me up! Products used: Rimme...

So, there’s not really much to my mugshot today, because I was late to class. Then I found out that the project that I thought was due Monday was due today! Then I decided that it was too nice ...
When I tweeted about this earlier, I had seen it in my local circular and wasn’t sure if it was a nation-wide promotion. After checking Rite Aid’s website, it looks like this sale is acro...
I had to present a speech today and then go visit the county tax office and run other errands, so I figured I’d dress like a grown-up for once. (You can see how busy running around I was from t...

It’s that time again, everybody! This week I tried a vaguely retro, 60s look, though my hair deflated between the time I took these pictures and when I got to class. My hair disdains volume exc...
Starting today and continuing every Friday, I’m going to do a Face of the Day feature here at TCGA. I’m going to call it “Mugshots” to keep with the generally classy atmospher...
What: Equate Medicated Acne Gel Where: Walmart Price: $1.97 I wish I had gotten a picture of the box this comes in before I threw it away. It’s not the same as the “Equate Extra Strength ...
