Would you like to know my favorite iPhone photo application? You’re dying to know, I can feel your bated breath through the computer screen. Shake it photo. Have you ever played with it? You have to shake it, shake it, shake it like a Polaroid picture. And I love it. I love the way the photos have a bit of a vintage-y feel, with white borders just like I like. They also have a bit of a post-processed look that’s…

You guys, my computer ate my last post. And I’m phoning it in anyway since it’s been a rough couple of weeks around here. Here’s the long and short of it: 1. Spent the day of December 28th skiing with my family at Park City Mountain Resort. 2. On the last run of the day I went down a double black diamond behind my 6-year-old {who’s a much better skier than I} and ended up on my face. 3. Thought…

How were your holidays? Good? Crazy? Relaxing? Mine were a combination of the three, with an unintentional bit of R&R on the tail end after my stupid skiing accident last week. I read an 800 page novel, watched the entire series of The Pacific, and spent a fair share of time napping in bed. So, yes, happy holidays to me! A few items of business before we jump into the new year: My site has been having a few technical…

You know how much I love Meg Cabot, right? I adore her to bits and itty bitty pieces. Her books have brought me great pleasure during some of the hardest times in my life. Do you have books or movies that transport you completely, entertain you so thoroughly, you start googling in the middle of the night to find out where you can get more of the good stuff? That’s how I feel about Meg. It’s on my Life List…

I have, over the years, expressed my deeply seated love for author Meg Cabot. In fact, having lunch with Meg Cabot is #91 on my Life List. I kind of adore her. I picked up her first book a handful of years ago in a Costco. I was passing the books when my eye rested on a book titled ‘Size 12 is Not Fat‘ and I was like ‘say it sister!‘. I’m a size 12, and I most certainly am….

Friends, the house is empty today and I’m partying like it’s 1995. An entire 2 liter of Diet Dr Pepper + an empty house + me + hip hop? It’s not pretty, but it’s a party. A few things I wanted to remind you about over the weekend: I shared Top 10: Fashion Trends for the Holidays on Tip Junkie this week. Hint: fur is hot, in more way than one. I’m giving away an Epiphanie camera bag and you…
