Where's my personal spacecraft, damn it?
You know why resolutions don’t work, macaroons? They fail because we give ourselves start dates & deadlines. There is nothing magical about January 1st that will motivate or enable you to accomplish things any faster or better than any other day. I also fail to see the point in [...]

This is what my dreams look like…
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, macaroons! I’ve got the flu, but otherwise it was a successful holiday. Maybe it’s the fever or maybe it’s the impending New Year asking for reflection, but I’m in a weird place these days. I’m reevaluating my relationships, figuring [...]

Rest well, Miss Murphy
Over the weekend, we lost a whole lot of talent & one of my biggest inspirations, macaroons. Brittany Murphy was effortlessly beautiful while keeping her face out of the tabloids, for the most part. She had that unique kind of beauty that turns heads simply because you’ve never seen features like [...]

See it in 3D or IMAX asap
War in Iraq/ for Oil allegory? Check.
Environmentalism tree hugginess? Check.
Awkwardly brief & disappointing sex scene? Check.
This movie had all the makings of a huge failure…yet was somehow able to not suck. The Magician & I went to the midnight showing last Thursday & not only did we both [...]

Dress yourself up in lace & balloons
I hope you macaroons in the Northeast are managing the snow & being safe. It was pretty when it fell, but now everything is ice and/or slush hidden puddles for falling into. It was & will be a good week for finishing projects, cleaning your space & getting [...]

Fitness is also the reason IcyHot was invented.
Fashion means nothing if you don’t feel comfortable with your body & self-image first, macaroons. I’m no personal trainer, but I am a girl who has spent her whole adult life struggling with weight & body image. I’m also a girl who took control of those insecurities [...]

Quick! Into the oven!
We had so much fun making Gingerbread Monsters over the weekend, I thought I would share my first recipe with you, macaroons! It’s really quite simple, but messy (we were covered in flour!). There’s no better way to spend a grey day than baking warm, spicy cookies!
Tools
Rolling pin (optional; we pounded [...]

It was a Mark Jenkins kind of week. Click to see his work!
Well, macaroons, the coming week promises to be better than the last. I have discovered a whole new level of heartbreak: a feeling of humiliation to have ever loved someone. Exes are strange creatures, macaroons. It just makes me sad to [...]

Smartest accessories around
I don’t know when it was decided, macaroons, that eyeglasses were unsexy & only to be worn in the privacy of one’s home. That’s absolutely silly. If your face is an art gallery (& it is!), glasses are the intricate crown moldings framing the paintings of your eyes, drawing attention & accentuating [...]

Don't let Holiday Blues sneak up on you!
Everyone has their own, unique traditions around the holidays, macaroons. Some people do a seven-fish feast on Christmas Eve; some people sit on their island of misfit toys & eat peanut butter & fluff sandwiches in their feety pajamas. There’s nothing wrong with either of those [...]
