Burlington Coat Factory currently has in a selection of Marvel tee shirts. I saw several “group” designs, a vintage style Amazing Spiderman, and a Thor body suit. Shirt styles included long and 3/4 sleeve crop tops, girl fit tee, and raglan. So why is this a “you should buy this” post and not a “look…

New Years, More Goals, Results Always Mixed
I’ve never been the biggest fan of New Year’s resolutions, but the past few years I’ve found myself liking to make goals around this time. I suppose that is nearly the same thing.

Rocket Dogs Baker Platform Sneakers – The Evil Shoes
I’ve bought Rocket Dogs obsessively for almost ten years now. I’ve probably had fifteen different pairs, a lot of Joint canvas, and various others.

Rika Confesses to Home Hair Color – Slight Ombre Dark Blonde with Wella Color Charm
If you are a hairstylist.. you may want to avert your eyes. Despite past disasters, I colored my hair myself. My hairstylist just moved away, and at my last appointment, I had her dye my hair red… which just felt wrong for some undefined reason. I couldn’t get in with her before she left, wanted…

What I Brought to Pax Prime – Makeup Bag
I have now decided to grace my blog with my presence to bring you another long-promised (though maybe not awaited) packing for Pax video. This is everything in my meant-to-be-minimalist makeup (and hair product, and etc.) bag. In the end I think I could have pared it down a little, but I didn’t ever seriously…
Pax Prime Travel- Airport Looks, Day and Night
I’m currently in Seattle for Pax Prime. I haven’t actually seen any Seattle yet, as I’m still in the airport. My flight came in last night, and I slept here. I feel remarkably better than expected today, due to a combination of finding a flat bench to sleep on and taking the time to clean…
For Science: Free Prescription Glasses from Coastal, Firmoo, and GlassesShop
Do you remember when a pair of glasses was a rare and costly thing that could only be procured by a doctor? Choosing a pair of glasses was a decision that would impact your life to the end of the forseeable future, and wearing a pair was taking the risk of exposing the holy grail…
Sports: They’re Probably OK for.. Some People.. I Guess.
Someone just made a remark to me that implied that I don’t like sports because I’m a girl. While not made with unfriendly intentions, every time I hear this it annoys me. It irks me because it fails to recognize the nuance of my dislike of sports. I don’t like sports, or perhaps more properly,…
