My shopping ban is OVER!

Today is a good day. First, it’s my anniversary with Joe. Holy crap guys, we’ve been married for three years and together for almost eight! That’s so crazy to me. Second, do you remember when I start...

Why I’m growing out my bangs

I recently dyed my hair back to blonde. For those of you who don’t know, I’m naturally blonde, but enjoy moonlighting as a redhead. For other reasons, I’ve also taken to wearing gla...

Winter Pinterest Challenge: I Pink You’re Awesome

My hilarious sister, Cher, did an amazing DIY and wanted to share it with all of you. Her DIY earring holder is way cooler than my mesh letter-tray-nailed-in-my-close t job I did earlier in the year! ...

DIY necklace obsession

I saw a DIY over on Jen Loves Kev for a necklace I’ve been obsessed with for a while. It seemed really simple, just oven-baked clay beads, strategic stringing, and a proper mix and usage of col...

Problems with Pinterest?

*Let me start this by saying I still have a Pinterest account, and still have my pins visible. My research did not cause me to remove anything I had pinned. Lately there has been a lot of talk on the...

Superheroes!

This shirt is easily one of my favorites. And I have to admit that I prefer Marvel comics to DC. (Marvel is Ironman, Spiderman, Xmen, Captain America. DC is Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lant...

Day two of tshirts

Today was spent at an early morning meeting, packing, and packing. Somewhere in there we went out for lunch where I had a tiramisu that smelled so strongly of brandy (or something) that my nose burne...

One thing I bought (with a gift card)

You remember when I started my shopping ban? I said I was OK with shopping if I was given a giftcard. So, when I happened to get one for Christmas I was a little dumbfounded with what to do with it. ...

Face Off: Return to Oz

One of my favorite TV shows is on Syfy, and is the special FX makeup version of Project Runway. Instead of making fabulous outfits, these artists create characters using molds, castings, prosthetics,...

Holiday gift guide: Geek
