We recently went to Northern Kentucky to visit Toby’s mom and see his grandmother be named one of the 2010 Cincinnati Women of the Year. It also happened to be Easter, so my parents came down from Detroit. We all decided to go to the Newport Aquarium (just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati). And […]
I’ve been doing a whole lot more eating than shopping and swimming lately. But I did want to share some awesome eyeshadow sets I picked up a while back. As anyone who read my Watchmen review knows, I am not exactly a big comic book person. (Although I do have a Batman pillowcase… but that’s […]
Well, this is potentially problematic. The New York Times reported today that many packaged food have been downsized — but no one told the consumers. Now, I get that food costs are increasing and manufacturers are either going to have to hike prices or decrease quantity. But, the problem is that we don’t KNOW we’re […]
Since I started an actual fire inside my oven last night and set off our smoke alarm, I think I need to tweak the recipe I was using a bit before posting it. In the meantime, I wanted to tell you about two exciting things I discovered this week while seeking lunch in Annapolis (instead […]
There will be Super Bowl cookie photos and meat galore later. First, some nail polish. If you couldn’t tell from the giant ballet flat at the top of the page, pink is my favorite color. But I also love purple — especially purple eye makeup and nail polish. So you can imagine my excitement when […]
In honor of the Super Bowl, and of those nachos I posted earlier, I bring you the best PSA ever. … ’til you explode.
As you may recall, I started taking an adult ballet class in the fall. Now we’ve just started the new semester. But it seems I’m not the only one hitting the barre. Apparently undeterred by the ripping of flesh and cracking of toenails in Black Swan, fashionistas are signing up for online workouts with the […]
I’ve had the same swim cap since 1999. I got it at a random store in Belgium after I determined (through a series of gestures) that I needed to wear one to swim at the pool down the street from our house. My dad did buy me a bright orange “Who’s your Tiger?” cap a […]
I wanted to start my diet last week, but that didn’t work out too well (it was a very busy week at work, and we didn’t have much food at home). So I started it for real Saturday. I’ll be posting some of the recipes soon, but I wanted to talk about working out. Although […]
One of my resolutions is to blog more about swimming and shopping-related topics. Now, there are tons of fashion bloggers out there, and I am not usually invited to NYC Fashion Week (sadly) so I don’t have a lot of inside info. But I do see a lot of cute stuff and I want to […]
