I woke up this morning to a phone call letting me know that someone had gotten my debit card info and now my checking account is overdrawn and a lot of money is gone. Brilliant. A couple of days ago I booked a hotel online for next month so I can check out […]

Wow, so I celebrated my blog’s anniversary on Monday, and then promptly ceased to post anymore for the rest of the week. To be fair, I was out of town for a few days, but lately I’ve just been trying to take a step back from a lot of things. I’ve been doing […]

I just added a new page, up at the top, called “subscribe”.
I know a lot of people, even some very tech-savvy people, are still baffled by RSS and feeds and aggregators and all of that. I stumbled across an easy to understand explanation of RSS feeds and how they work at this blog, so […]

I won 3rd place!!
I couldn’t be happier. The 1st and 2nd place winners of Etsy’s Upcycling Contest were two of my absolute faves: the “weiner bench” and a fab winter coat made from recycled shopping bags.
Etsy purchased my blue tarp FEMA outfit and had it on display at their party last night celebrating the […]

I just realized I’ve been tagged by Ayana, who writes one of my favorite blogs, Nolé Style and Beauty Indulgence. She tagged me on the “Five Things You Didn’t Know About Me” meme that’s been circulating around lately. I’m normally not much of one for memes, but since it’s the weekend and this […]

Happy holidays everyone! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful holiday season so far, though if you’re anything like me it’s not really over until New Year’s has come and gone. Nevertheless, happy holidays, and best of luck to every single one of you in the coming year!
I’ve had a good holiday season […]
