Rika Eats Asia (Everything I ate in Taipei and Tokyo)
I ate everything I was offered in Taipei and Tokyo, and photographed it all.
Like diamonds..
In the field to the side of Leith Cemetery, there are two bullet casings that we never found. These were not the casings from the bullets that killed my sister, but the brass from the shots fired in salute as they put her in the grave. We never found the last two shells. I told…
Ipsy and Birchbox Unboxing, October 2017
Unboxing my Ipsy and Birchbox for the month!
I Had a Baby!
And this is why I went from posts on how terrible maternity clothes are to a gap with no posts. Our little Kickies was born on October 2nd, emerging via c-section while Jack White’s Lazaretto played – but by the time she was nestled on my chest, it was Falling Down by The Deadlights –…

10 Worst Things About Maternity Clothes
Before I begin this list of complaints in earnest, I’d like to acknowledge that it is better now that we don’t “put all our clothes away and wear tents for nine months” as my mom described her experience with maternity clothes. (And Mom had five kids – that’s about four years of tent-wearing!) Despite the…
The Day in Photos: The Way I Tell Myself That Its Okay
Nearly everything I like has an element of randomness. My Instagram page wanders from outfits to dogs to Dallas in the sun; from the novelty of bar bathrooms to videogame conventions and places where I am foreign. But Instagram is one of the most calculated, most “intentional” (as the kids say) things I do. I…
