due to some major changes in my life, I’ve changed the URL of my blog—all of the same great content is now at http://tlynnette.wordpress. com/ so pls update your bookmarks. I’ll start post...
Confession: I’m actually not all that big on Halloween, especially not the way most people seem to celebrate it. Honestly, I think my pagan acquaintances, with their celebration of Samhain, hav...
These quick little individually sized gourmet pizzas are easy and yummy! I’ve only made these once so I can’t really call them a fave (yet), but I’m guessing it won’t be long ...
(Yes, the title for this post is a nod to NIN, even though I haven’t listened to him for years. Somehow it seems appropriate, on multiple levels :\ ) It’s official: name a hormone, ANY ho...
Last night was the first time in months that I’ve made meatloaf, but it’s a favourite in our family when cooler weather rolls around. I first tried this recipe earlier this year and it wa...
Some of y’all may have already heard: Aromaleigh (AL), my favourite mineral makeup (mmu) company EVER, is reopening under new management! I have high hopes for this new incarnation, since they&...
Hi! Last week after posting yet another comment from a reader in Utah looking for help with her hormone imbalance, I decided to create a permanent page with links to local resources for women in the ...
I swear, if it’s not one thing, it’s another. I’m just glad that my doc has me loaded up on a cocktail of supplements instead of synthetic chemical drugs. So here’s the latest...
For many years I’ve made donations (cash, goods, and time spent as a volunteer) to a variety of organizations, most of them with humanitarian objectives. But when Groupon recently offered $12 f...
I luvs ma kittehs. I really do. but this morning I was pretty upset when I discovered they’d chewed through my headset/mic cable, which is why I’m typing again (as you can tell from the g...
Dear readers, please forgive my protracted absence. For the past few months, work consumed much more of my time and energy than I’d anticipated, and since I work from home, I avoided my compute...
I’m sure y’all have noticed I haven’t posted much lately—I’ve been really busy with work, which has had the unfortunate side effect of aggravating an RSI in my left hand, so I...
a couple of weeks ago, I started experiencing severe back pain and muscle spasms, which I attributed (incorrectly, come to find out) to a flare-up of an old auto injury. after almost a week of consta...
teh kittehs we rescued right before Thanksgiving have gotten so BIG, so fast! here’s a pic of our girls, Stormy (tabby) and Einstein (tux) a couple of days after we found them: and here they ar...
“hello, Dorothy? your shoes called, they want their ruby sparkle back.” yeah, so I’m a dork but that really was the first thing I thought when I stroked Zoya‘s Tori onto my na...
HAPPY NEW YEAR! looking back on 2010, overall I’d say it was another good year major gains: deepened friendships w/some remarkable women, rescued and adopted two adorable kitties, started training an...
well, winners have all contacted me, and prizes have all been mailed out, YAY! I wasn’t sure what to expect hosting a giveaway like this, but I think everything went pretty smoothly…heck,...
first, I want to thank everyone who participated in my giveaway — y’all made this fun and easy for me, and I hope y’all all enjoyed your little walk down Memory Lane revisiting your...

yes REALLY! Mum gave me this recipe a year ago, and I hadn’t gotten around to trying it until tonight. oh. my. GOSH. it actually does taste like a cheeseburger!! my mother heard of this while w...
it’s official: they’re both girls, so of course DD is tickled to pieces — “now there are more girls than boys in our family!” also, while Einstein is obviously a tuxedo ...
okay, here it is! I’ve never really done anything to actively promote my little blog, and I’m not really planning on starting now. what I will do is try to use this opportunity as a way t...
ho. ly. COW. I know Kristen is basically just trying to use up ingredient stock before she closes Aromaleigh‘s doors for good, but I swear she’s producing some of her most beautiful colle...
introducing Stormy and Einstein — the newest members of the Ross family! *ftr, the cat bed is actually tan and brown, NOT pink and burgundy like it looks here, ugh this new adventure began yest...
I should probably preface this by saying that I did NOT buy all of this in one fell swoop; this is the accumulation of several purchases since my beloved Aromaleigh first announced their closing, bac...
if I were to fall down a rabbit hole and find myself in a land where everything is nonsense (*knock on wood*), I should like to think that whole world would be coloured as magically as AromaleighR...
I don’t consider myself a huge Harry Potter fan. I mean, I read the entire series of books and I’ll see all of the films, but that’s about the extent of my fan-ness. I don’t k...
“we now return you to your regularly scheduled frivolous content” ;\ lol online shopping can be quite the modern challenge, as texture is at best difficult to communicate visually, and co...
today I’m going to depart from my usually lighthearted, fairly trivial posts and blog about something very significant for a change. I’ve thought long and hard about this post, and I̵...
as I mentioned in an earlier post, Mythos is the first of three “cosmic farewell” collections being offered by Aromaleigh as part of their final clearance sales; these are available as Va...
