Learning & the Renaissance Soul

The following post was sparked by reading about the BME internship contest (you can vote for the finalists here), which was linked to in Gala Darling’s latest Carousel. Actually, a combination of reading about the internship contest and a comment that was left on the post, from Sunny:
Oh man, I wish I knew about that BME contest [...]

Internet Diet: Recap & Thoughts

I’m sure you’re all waiting with bated breath to hear the results of the internet diet & my thoughts on it after finishing! I ended up just doing one hour a day; thirty minutes in the morning and thirty minutes at night. I was originally going to do two hours a day, but figured I [...]

Going on an Internet Diet

So, as I mentioned on Monday, all of this week I’ve been trying an experiment. I’ve restricted my internet access to 1-2 hours a day. That probably doesn’t sound huge, but I spend a lot of time online and it’s a drastic change for me!
Why?
The obvious question is what prompted me to go on an [...]

The Oil Cleansing Method: A Review

This was supposed to be a video post, but it’s been so gray and dreary here the last few days that I can’t seem to get good lighting no matter where I go! So you’ll have to deal with text instead.
What is the oil cleansing method, you ask? And what kind of silly person came [...]

Daily Outfit 2/5/10

Can you see the pain on my face, people? Yeah. I went out for dinner with Amanda and Indiana, thinking that I didn’t feel too hot and that I’d probably bail before the Fashion Freakout, and then changed my mind. Lesson learned: never wear anything but the most comfortable heels when there is even the [...]

A Moment of Your Time?

I usually don’t stray from the topics of fashion or style & their related areas for this blog, but I’m going to make an exception today, because I read something yesterday that really upset me.
What it comes down to is that a Wiccan priest & chaplain, Patrick McCollum, has been trying for years to overturn [...]

Interview with Lisa, the Sassy Minx!

Today I’ve got a special treat! Lisa is the mastermind behind The Sassy Minx – a “fierce and fabulous combination of words, pictures, and general awesomeness for women who kick-ass”. I think that’s a project I can get behind! Not only does Lisa write, but she’s also an entrepreneur – she’s a one-of-a-kind life coach [...]

How to Stop Worrying All the Damn Time

Wanna know a secret?
I have a tendency to get somewhat neurotic. And by “somewhat”, I mean spending hours unable to sleep because of worrying or feeling nauseous from anxiety. Which is, um, not fun! If you’ve experienced anything similar, you know that hearing things like “You should really stop worrying all the time”, or “Just [...]

Annoucing…my secret project.

So the last few months I’ve been working on something, and I kept putting off launching it, or even talking about it to anyone except for a select few. Because, you know, they might tell me it was stupid! Or something. (My brain sometimes fails at logic when it comes to my projects, I won’t [...]

Video Post: New Year’s Resolutions & Goals

My first ever video post!

It came out very yellow-toned, but I’ll just make sure to get better lighting next time – I didn’t want to re-record the whole thing. Next time I’ll make sure that less of the screen is taken up by wall and closet door, as well. I was worried some of it [...]
