♠Fashion Friday: Classy (& Cheap!) Costumes♠

Smarties, not spacey at all!

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year. Let’s face it, macaroons. In this economy, we can’t afford an elaborate Leg Avenue Halloween costume we’re only going to wear for one, maybe two nights of parties & events. None of us can squeeze into those “adorable” childhood costumes our mothers have [...]

Product Review- Lime Crime Lipsticks from the Candyfuture Line

The Candyfuture Line from limecrimemakeup.com

I’ve talked about Lime Crime here a couple times & apparently there’s some kind of controversy surrounding the company’s founder. In response, I direct you to this comment & that’s all I really have to say on the matter. I’m reviewing a brand here, not a human.

They arrived on my [...]

Haikuesday!

Someone sent me a big bowl of happy this week!

First of all, Fashion Friday: Frightening Footwear was all over WordPress.com’s Freshly Pressed home page ALL WEEKEND! So thank you, wordpress editors, & thank you to all of my macaroons who read & commented.  That said, I don’t know how next week will ever [...]

♠Fashion Friday: Frightening Footwear! ♠

Say that three times fast!

You don't know what fear is yet…

October is my favorite month because it justifies all my quirks & weirdness. For 31 days I have a shot at being totally, invisibly normal. It’s kind of nice, macaroons. I bet these designers & artists don’t ever get that chance. These shoes look [...]

Are You There, God? It's Me, Alzy…

Dear God, I could use a little help…

I’m not going to preach to you, macaroons, but I thought some of you might share my struggle with forging a relationship with God (or any deity you choose). Maybe you need a little hope right now, a little help. Maybe you’ve wanted a deeper spiritual life, [...]

Haikuesday!

Touchdown Penn State!

You just can’t cancel
Penn State tailgating! We’ll find
a way to party!

Alumni rally
in the streets & in the stands.

There’s something quite strange
about dating a guy not

The Magician's first trip to PSU

At the Saloon, hit

I miss my best friend.

Even in the snow,
a creamery mint milkshake

Gameday Glamour

We don't all want to look like this at the big game.

October & November mean crisp cold air, tons of delicious food & painting your face with warpaint to sit in the bleachers screaming your lungs raw for your team! Who doesn’t love to break out the team jersey after a long offseason? Being [...]

30 Before 30

A good start!

I often find myself saying things like, “I’ve always wanted to do that!” or “Do you know what I’d love to do?” Well, macaroons, wanting isn’t enough. I wrote down 30 things that excited me during various conversations & decided to do them all by the time I turn 30 (just 5 [...]

Haikuesday!

Butter, sugar, milk, eggs, mix, repeat!

I think I eat way too much cake, macaroons. I have no idea how I’ve gotten so thin when my major food groups are coffee & sugar. I suppose it’s all the running around I do when I’m done scarfing down a big fat icingy slice of carbtastic [...]

Steal Glamour's Cover Look- November Edition

Glamour's latest cover in an apparent campaign against pants

It’s that time again, macaroons! I know I’m a little late as November Glamour has been on the stands for a couple weeks now, but they could not have made it easier with Scarlett Johansson’s cover look. Her t-shirt is a Lanvin & costs $733! Once [...]
