I’ve decided to try and go back to school and get my Masters, guys. Can you imagine? I feel like I left that behind and now I’m throwing myself back in. I hate homework and tests. Speaking of tests, I have to take the GRE, which is basically the SAT, but for grad school. I’M DYING. I have to restudy all those equations and formulas that I was certain I would never need again once I graduated. Eep! Though, I’ll continue to do my best to keep up the superb quality (lolz) of this blog, you might have to give

The Story of Floofy, the Unwanted Sloth
We were in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware when one of those damn carnival games lured in my significant other. It was the one where you shoot water into a clown’s mouth and whoever gets the most in wins. He always wants to play it because he never loses. NEVER. And lo and behold he won! And thus started a journey with a sloth that he promptly named Floofy (I’ve banned him from ever naming our pets.) Upon winning, the kid next to us barely lost and I overheard his father telling him he did a great job. I told my significant
What “Stop” Actually Means
I recently had my first negative experience with a commenter on my blog. I know, it took long enough, right? What happened was a social experiment on what “stop” actually means. You see, I thought it meant to cease the action all together. He thought it meant, “Yes, I’m enjoying my time. Please continue pestering the hell out of me.” You see it was small things that built up to an uncomfortable situation. He wouldn’t leave conversations, he’d send kissy face emojis that I honestly found a little disturbing, and he wasn’t taking no for an answer. I asked him
Strange Bathrooms #1
Confession: I have a weird obsession with interesting bathrooms. I’m sure part of it is because I have colitis/Crohn’s and like makeup so I spend an inordinate amount of time in bathrooms. However, it’s also partly because public and/or restaurant bathrooms tend to be generic. They usually follow a prescribed floor plan. Some sort of mica countertop. Mirror. Two to three stalls. Usually tiles or a plain white wall. Oh, and a floor with drains. They give character to the restaurant or store, but never to the bathrooms. So when I see one that has flair, I do what any
Five Favorite Things – August 2019
Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3 – I cannot stress enough how much this saved my hair from turning into straw this summer. From going blonder to living my life in the sun, this kept it looking healthy, shiny, and oh-so-chic. My hair would be a goner if it wasn’t for this. MAC LipMix in Red – I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH. This red is everything I want a red to be. I’ve worn it this summer and you can bet everything that this will be my go-to holiday red when the winter season comes around! FitBit Charge HR 2 –
Let’s Chat!
Let’s sit down and have a chat. I feel like randomly updating everyone on things in my life because why not? It feels appropriate at the moment and we can all sit around and be friends. 🙂 First off, screw coding. I can’t do it and I have no interest in it. Totally went to Etsy and found someone to work with who will hopefully help me turn this website into something special. I have high hopes that it’ll get there in the end! Secondly, I went to my third Barre class, and I will most likely post a little
Just an FYI
I have decided to attempt to build my own site and can I just say I am not tech savvy? I don’t know how I can be described as a Millennial when my understanding of computers and all things digital stopped at Microsoft Word years ago. However, it is a time for learning as I enter this tech era that’s been going on for awhile. This is mostly to inform you that I am attempting to migrate followers to the new platform. You may or may not have to resubscribe if you want to continue getting notifications of new posts
My Week
My week has been mostly low-key, with unpacking my bags after returning from Eastern Washington. Does anyone want to explain to me how to not overpack? Because I reign queen supreme of stuffing any suitcase full to the brim. LIES. It was low-key until I made the mistake of joining a barre class. We went to McMenanimins on Friday and found a hidden speakeasy bar. It’s teeny tiny but still awesome that we discovered a secret. Plus, I was still traumatized from Barre class and decided a vodka tonic was the only thing that could make me feel better. We also went
Bad Blogging and Vacation Recovery
I’m so tired. Why is it that sometimes you need a vacation after a vacation? I should hashtag this as #FirstWorldProblems. However, I am going to be an exceptionally bad blogger today because my energy just isn’t as focused as it should be. I had to ransack the cabin we were staying in to look for my Beats headphones only to find them already packed and tucked inside my backpack. I mean just look at that last sentence. Rambling much, Kristen? Clearly I’ve been a complete mess since six o clock in the morning. So I’m going to show several
Coming Back…
I’ve been sleeping with spiders and showering with spiders and eating food while spiders watched me from their webs but it’s been worth it. I only ever feel relaxed after a week like this away from the everyday lifestyle that I tend to live. I’m on my way back today from the realm of no internet. I look forward to catching up on comments and all the other blog posts I’ve missed!
