Thanksgiving Challenge
Off to my hometown for Thanksgiving weekend! This year I’ll be cooking the big dinner as my folks are on vacation in Las Vegas until late Sunday night. I’m cooking for my parents, brother, cousin and granny this year. I’ve cooked a smaller version of Thanksgiving dinner before, but never a whole bird with all…

Review: Jessica Biffi For Addition-Elle Fall Collection
Just got my order in from Addition-Elle; I ordered 4 pieces from the new Jessica Biffi fall collection. First thought: Not impressed. I have this feeling, it feels to me like this “collection” was a bit rushed and lacking heart. The capsule this fall is much smaller in terms of overall number of pieces as…

News in the Ginger-verse
Ok, so I started writing a big post on where I’ve been these past few months but it degenerated into a pity party and got far too wordy. Basically I stopped writing because I lost the motivation as my life underwent some big changes. It’s no secret I hated my job, I was becoming increasingly…

Review: AirBnB.com – Travel Like A Human
Wow, it’s not often I will find a service or product that is so cool it will kick me out of a writing slump! I am so stoked to share this article with you guys and I’m not even getting compensated for it or anything! As a blogger with a strong bent towards personal finance…

This is an interesting little meme going around the internet right now, several bloggers that I read (FB, Asian Pear) have tallied up the approximate costs of everything they regularly carry in their purses. It seems the average total of all items for most gals is around $300, but since my purse alone is $300…

Review: SWAK Designs Redux
After my negative review in March of my Sealed With A Kiss items, the company contacted me and wanted to know how they could make it right. It seems that my post on this blog and also in the fatshionista! community had caused quite a stir, and the CEO contacted me himself so they could…

Cottaging in New York
In an effort to help me relax and find myself again during my time off from work I have decided to join my extended family in New York State for a week. It’s funny, I’m going to be one of only two under-forty-somethings (my 20 year old cousin is coming) but I’m actually getting excited…

Hello darkness my old friend
I’m sitting here feeling a little bit ridiculous with one of those Biore nose strip things on. I’m grappling with a lot of weird feelings these days, and awkwardness even when I am alone is a new one. My abrupt disappearance from the web was facilitated by the re-emergence of depression in my life. Back…

Please send directions!
I’m a little lost right now, but will have some time to write again soon. There has been a lot of heavy stuff going on in my life right now, you can probably tell by my distinct lack of blogging, tweeting and facebooking. When things get really tough for me I tend to pull away,…
