It's been a long time since I've seen a subscription box. After a colorful history with these little monthly gift boxes, I was pretty sure that I had said hello and goodbye to my last auto-charge. I can't say that ...
Serendipity is a pretty magical concept. There's always a debate surrounding the topic of serendipity, or more specifically, coincidence. One side says that there's no such thing as coincidence, and that random algorithms and probability are to blame for the ...
This summer, I have been rediscovering (and in some cases, discovering) my beautiful state of Washington. I have shown off a few pics here and there of the kinds of things I've been seeing, but what I really want to ...
I have a goal this winter to drink more tea than coffee. I'm not sure it will happen, given the presence and existence of the Godfather of winter coffee drinks: the peppermint mocha. I'll try to at least drink more tea. ...
Alliteration, extreme! I had to make an impressive title for an impressive brownie. After weeks spent scouring the internet for a specifically black bottom black bean brownie, I decided that I should put my blogging where my mouth is and ...
The way that I eat is not really that different from the way I dress, if that makes sense. No, of course it doesn't. I mean the way that I shop for food is not that different from the way ...
My mom is like a walking encyclopedia of good taste. She can identify the proper wine glasses for each type of wine, she can properly set a formal dining table and school you on etiquette during dinner, and she knows anything ...
I don't know what it is about all of the 3D printing stuff, but it makes me feel like the products created through 3D printing will be astronomically expensive. Maybe because the technology is so new, and history states that ...
If we remember the internet for one thing, it will probably be fandoms. Sites like Tumblr, Pinterest - even just Google Image search allows us to obsessively drool over whatever delectable mind-morsel we last thought about, or the last TV show ...
TJ Maxx challenged me to redecorate and refresh a room in my house. I picked the music studio and, with $150 and a fear of home decor, I set out to conquer the challenge. ...
Every once in a while, I fall in love with a random pattern that I see in a place that isn't exactly... wearable. Sometimes, the pattern is so captivating that I don't even want to wear it - I just want ...
No, thankfully, I am not offering up a shoebox of poorly constructed mix tapes from my 31 flavors of previous relationships, though that isn't a bad idea... Wait, yes it is. I'm talking about Cassette From My Ex, the book ...
Big frames can make a plain wall into a historically relevant one. The more gauche the frame, the happier a girl I am. I used to like plain, geometric frames for my photos and artwork, but these days I crave ostentatious. ...
Whether you bake or not, this is something seriously beautiful and would look just as fabulous as a display stand as it would a cake stand. It caught my eye due to its color and squareness. Typically, I only see ...
If you have a New Year's resolution to do more cooking at home (which will save you bundles of cash, by the way! Do it! [Mom!]) and you are a music fanatic like me, then this subscription box is about ...
When I told my Dad that my Amazon wish list was full of vinyl records, he literally laughed at me. He had no idea why I'd want some old, antiquated piece of plastic when I could so easily download a ...
If I had to pick one consumer product as my life force, it would undoubtedly be coffee. Not only am I hopelessly addicted to the stuff, but I am the slowest coffee drinker maybe on the planet. I'm not totally sure why, ...
Sweater Print Duvet: three words that seem out of order, backwards, and just generally wrong. But add in the idea of a photographic print of a sweater, and things start to make sense. If you're trying to set up a neutral-but-not-boring ...
Some of you may have heard me talk about it some time ago, but I am having a bit of a fantasy about creating a white bookshelf that only has white things on it. That's about as far as the ...
You may or may not know, I am a ShopStyle loyalist and have been for many years. ShopStyle is the shopping search engine to end all shopping search engines. You can search through tons of stores for anything from jewelry ...
