I read quite a bit of young adult sci-fi. It’s so darn fun. The stories are simple and interesting, they’re a fast read, and they usually come in series – giving me plenty of nighttime reading material for weeks. I was giddy when I was asked to review Matched by Ally Condie – it is… read more »

Alright gals, listen up. I’m pretty picky about the body wash that I use for my daily showers. My skin is quite dry, and at times can feel itchy and uncomfortable. I’m also prone to red or ashy-looking patches if I don’t keep myself thoroughly moisturized. This even happens to me in the 1000% humidity… read more »

When summer rolls around each year, my reading tastes shift a bit. I indulge in stories that are lighter, easy reads – ones that are perfect for kicking back in a chair and wiggling your toes in the sand while someone brings you a fruity adult beverage in half a pineapple with a tiny… read more »

I first heard of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron several years ago. A creative friend of mine was reaching a point of burnout and needed some techniques to get herself centered again. She wrote a public journal of her experiences with using the program, and though I was intrigued, I never got around to… read more »

I just finished reading Lost and Found by Geneen Roth – a brutally honest account of the author’s financial tragedy when an investment scam left her, and a handful of her friends, in monetary ruin. While working her way through the flip-flop of having a nice fat bank balance to the sudden uncertainty of whether… read more »

What are your plans for the holiday weekend? We’re going to be doing some much needed organizing and yard work around the house. On Monday, we shared a recipe for hot cross buns using cinnamon roll dough! I haven’t used that method for making dough for actual cinnamon rolls, but it’s definitely on… read more »
