Serious question...
We are all well aware that 2010 has been the year of sparkle. Right? I mean, sequins left and right. Appropriate when? At all times. On work dresses, on dress shoes, on sweat pants, on heads bands, on everything. What was previously saved for special occasions has become everyday wear.
So… the question I pose to you, is what do you wear on special occasions now? Do I have to reinvent the...

You know what today is?
I mean, besides the day I head home to spend the holiday weekend with my fab fam?
It’s a day for a total eclipse, the least amount of daylight in the whole year, and… today is the first official day of winter. Pretty weird considering it’s felt like January since mid-November. Brrr…
Christmas and New Year’s, take your time. January and February, bring me less...

This is what I'm thinking:
No amount of Exedrin could make the marching band in my head stop marching.
My commute was much more tolerable today (weather-wise).
It would be nice not to run into the awkward man who yelled at me in the middle of the street after he asked me out on the metro… and then have to share my entire commute while there is a marching band in my head ever.
I could use about 7 more hours of...

MANifestations of hypochondria
Saw Love and Other Drugs this week. The critics were right. Too much skin. Excuse me, too much of Anne Hathaway’s skin. Anyways, not the point.
[Semi-spoiler alert].
Anne’s character, Maggie, in the movie has early on-set Parkinson’s. Now, I don’t fancy myself a hypochondriac. Quite the opposite actually. But something about Maggie’s symptoms struck a chord with...

chain letters and bacon grease
One of my former colleagues and constant source of smiles left her job in the spring for bigger and better - to get her MBA at Northwestern. Can you blame her? While I miss her dearly (really, Megan, if you’re reading this, I miss you so much!), every now and then she’ll pop up in my work email with something funny or like last week, with a chain letter. Kidding. Sort of.
I’ve...

Finally bit the Groupon bullet.
It was a feeble attempt at resistance. $25 for $50 at South Moon Under was just too strong of pull. Click here if you are one of the few in the world that hasn’t yet taken the Groupon plunge, but you’re finally ready.

Did you know?
Have you ever wondered what was with the pickle? These sparkly green ornaments pop up every where around the holidays. Not sure about you, but it never quite clicked.
In window shopping for holiday decorations (my apartment is a little too small for decorating) FINALLY (!), I came across an explanation. As an old German tradition, parents would decorate the Christmas tree. The very last...
