A bit of a preface on this one: I have really fine hair. I don't mean really pretty (though it's not to bad on that score); I mean really thin. So volume is not really a thing that exists naturally for me, and doesn't last long when artificially induced with foam or...
I've been blog-stalking a bunch of stylish and craftsy ladies, and several of them do a What I Wore type post occasionally. These posts are always fun to look through, because it gives insight into a person's style and personality, and also I just like seeing the...
I am starting a new series here on the blog. Every Friday I'm going to highlight an item that I'm absolutely in love with. It could be anything from a piece of jewelry to shoes to a book to a recipe to a website; I may or may not own said item. I'm just trying to...

Ok, so the poll plug-in I was trying to use before apparently does not work well. Trying this again, new plug-in: [merlic_poll id="220"] And to go with that: [merlic_poll id="223"]
Take a gander at the nifty promo shot that DA is putting out: That's me, chilling in the backyard with a DA Myst print shirt, skinny jeans, my favorite red sandals, and some impromptu backdrop drapery. What you can't see is my mad dash between setting the...
Descent into Dust By Jacqueline Lepore This was a random choice from the new fiction shelf in the library. As vampire novels go, it was about average. It was entertaining, there were some thrills and scares, and it's certainly set itself up for a series. The plot was...
