As a teacher, I should be aware of what goes on in the news, right? Well, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not. I rarely watch the news, and though I am armed with RSS Readers and news...
I can always remember being a reader of all things print even when I was a little girl. I read my first chapter book, Charlotte’s Web, when I was six but I remember magazines being one of my fa...
I’ve been insanely busy with the semester winding down. Grading copious amounts of writing, holding conferences with students, and generally keeping myself from losing my mind are just a few of...
I’m completely aware that it’s been a while since my last post. I’ll save you the “my students have been keeping me too busy to pee” explanation, and head right into a p...
I’ve done some reviews of apps for the iPhone before, but I’ve since re-jailbroken (yay for a 5.0 untethered!) and cleaned out some of my dusty apps that were taking up valuable space for...
When one of my best friends, Lea, told me about a hilarious book about a guy who writes about his drunken antics and his love of slutty women, I was intrigued. His name was Tucker Max and the book wa...
I’ve gotten a lot of questions on how to do my faded nails I posted recently on instagram and tumblr! Below was my first attempt with a dark fade, because let’s face it–dark nail po...
I’m all about being tan, but since I gave up tanning beds in 2006 (Six years ago, time flies!) I’ve spent some serious time finding the perfect self tanner. What is the perfect self tanne...
I am absolutely overwhelmed by the amazing amount of support I have received from everyone on my blog, tumblr, twitter, and google+ regarding my loss of Socks. Being a blogger and having a close netw...
I’ve debated for a few days now how to begin writing this post. How should I start? Is there a right or wrong way to do it? At last, I decided just to go for it and see what happens. Let the wo...
I’ve gotten a few questions from my classmates, readers, and even my cousin on my skincare routine. While I like to think I’ve been blessed with good genes for clear skin from my parents,...
At this time of the year there are plenty of things to love! I just haven’t had any time to talk about them. Now that grading is completed and classes are done for a the next month or so, here&...
The weather is getting so dry here in Connecticut which means my lips start to complain. Granted I should be used to the cold weather by now, but year after year my biggest pet peeves are dry, chappe...
I find myself paying close attention to what the leading characters wear in some of my favorite movies. It might be the blogger/shopaholic inside of me, but it’s something I just can’t NO...
First off, I’ve finally joined Bloglovin’ after having that on my to-join list for months! Follow my blog with Bloglovin and I’ll follow you back ASAP! I love networking with other ...
I am a hot, shiny mess by the end of the day. I admit it. My Italian and Greek heritage poses this problem for me by the end of the day, especially on those days where I have a full face of makeup on...
I don’t think that anyone is unaware of what Facebook is. Even my Dad who just recently got a cellphone (yes, really!) is aware of the social networking giant. A week ago, I made the decision t...
I have always loved my skin, and for the most part it’s in pretty good shape. I put my skin through a lot between trying new products and my long ex-love affair with tanning beds. Now that I...
One of my favorite beauty products is the mask! I’ve always loved them, but was never able to find one that alleviated my oily skin AND left my face feeling fresh, soft, and generally amazing. ...
School has eaten my soul for the past MONTH (what? month???) that I haven’t blogged. I can’t say I haven’t had time to be online, but sadly, the blog that I get PAID to write had to...
There’s something about this photo of me that I like. It’s just goofy! In exactly one week I begin my second semester of my graduate studies, along with a full-time course load of awesome...
Since I’ve obviously been neglecting my blog to take care of three year olds, the past few week weeks wouldn’t be complete without bullet points. You know how much I love bullet points. H...
For the past two weeks I’ve been sick. It began as what I thought was a small cold from one of the kids I work with, but after 4 days of drinking Robitussin and eating Tylenol, I began feeling ...
Since last month I did a post dedicated to my Momma and her bits of wisdom for Mother’s Day, I was super pumped to see that The Sunday Seven had a father’s day themed meme. My Dad is trul...
To Keith and I. I’m a day late with posting this, but better late than never. Yesterday (June 6), marks 8 years that Keith and I have been together. We enjoyed a nice dinner at my parents house...
Before I dive into this amazing product, some routine things for which I will use bullet points: I have updated (what?!?!) my health/fitness section with more weight loss pictures, and new weigh-in&#...
My Mom and I in Seattle going down a giant slide. circa 1990. For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while, you know that I am an only child, which aside from resulting in me being a &#...
What? A new week/month’s worth of obsessions? You betcha! I love orange juice. It’s up there with coffee for me, which is saying a lot, because coffee is one of my vices. The downer about...
