Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008I know, I know. I should be writing more about our trip! I’m completely swamped at work and am trying my best to stay focused on getting that stuff done. But, I just had to take a moment out of my lunch hour to share this amazing beauty product find. I [...]
Get rugged
Thursday, June 21st, 2007On Sunday, Oak was brewing so I decided to check out the Rugged Wearhouse in Cary. Mom let me in on this secret gem a few months ago, when I bought a cute orange purse and a Hello Kitty t-shirt at one of the locations near Concord. Little did I know, there are [...]
Business casual dress
Friday, June 1st, 2007I found it really suprising that this article recommends “dark wash” jeans to wear to a job interview. While I think that everything they describe would be fine for everyday wear in a casual office, I don’t see them being appropriate for an interview, no matter how casual the office. The title [...]
The gray area of business casual dress
Tuesday, August 8th, 2006Samantha Thompson Smith, one of my favorite columnists from the Raleigh News and Observer, discusses the entry of shorts into the workplace.
I haven’t gotten a pair of “city shorts” yet, but I do have to note that wearing them would probably be completely acceptable, considering the fact that I even see the “traditional midthigh length [...]
Lunches
Thursday, July 27th, 2006It’s a continual challenge to get motivated to prepare and bring healthy lunches to work instead of hitting up unhealthy eateries every day.
It seems that some take it as a motivating factor document and photograph their lunch creations.
Through these sites, I’m also noticing the interesting products they are making for adults lunch boxes. Remember [...]
Apparel for puppies
Tuesday, July 25th, 2006Now, let me start off by saying that, in general, I support small dog clothing. As long as it doesn’t bother the dog - why not? Lucy, my sister chihuahua, frequently wears tshirts and sweaters in the winter time to keep warm (and look cute). However, please let the alarms go off when [...]
Celeb look-alikes
Thursday, July 13th, 2006This is interesting. You can find out which celebrities you most resemble. It even gives you a percentage match. Here are mine:
Tata Young (61%)
Kirsten Dunst (61%)
Reese Witherspoon (59%)
Shania Twain (59%)
Paula Abdul (59%)
Leslie Caron (58%)
Sally Field (57%)
Jessica Alba (57%)
I don’t see how I resemble Paula Abdul so much, so if you’d like [...]
Summer food and feet
Wednesday, June 28th, 2006Another success with the Le Creuset: Braised short ribs. Though, we actually used beef back ribs, I’m not sure I would have been able to tell the difference anyway. Oak was so excited about cleaning the pot because everything wiped off easily, even after constant use for 4 hours. Amazing. [...]
Beauty product gripe
Friday, June 9th, 2006For any gentleman readers, let me first say how LUCKY you are that you don’t have to deal with the entire world of beauty products.
I, for the most part, have managed to find out the lines of beauty products that I enjoy. Neutrogena face wash, eye cream, and spf moisturizer. Bath and Body [...]
Motifa thief
Friday, May 26th, 2006I was rather excited to watch the Martha daytime talk show when she mentioned that the author of Generation T : 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt was going to be a guest. Surely I would learn some new life-altering tshirt transformation techniques.
So, I tune in, fast forwarding 3/4 of the show (Who cares about [...]
