A few weeks ago, I unleashed my blog-fury on the 10 Worst Things About Maternity Clothes.

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.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale vs. Amazon: Shoes, Loafers, Mules, and Boots
With every blogger on the internet compiling Nordstrom Anniversary Sale favorites, I got the idea to compare the sale’s prices to shopping on Amazon.

I’m in Louisville for Forecastle Festival right now, but before I make myself a liar, I need to make a post on these video game related hats I got at Screwattack Gaming Convention. To be clear, this is something I tried to buy, but Alec of Freaks and Geeks wouldn’t take the money. So here’s…
Purchasing Gamer Girl Power – or – Video Game Visibility Project
Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 30. And here is a picture of me buying a Playstation Plus card. (Or rather, bringing it home.) I’m not much for New Years resolutions. And also I failed out of the 365 Project a month in. But yesterday I made a birthday resolution. For the next…
Good Design, Even When It’s Not For Me
Getting my degree did about two important things for me. The second of these is that school instilled in me a respect for design that transcends my own taste. Sometimes I have to ask myself- do I like this because it’s good design, or because I like it personally, and want to own it…

MiniBlog – Wedge Sneakers, but Cheap.
I’ve wanted a pair of wedge sneakers, much like the ones Will Code For Clothes posted… but I wanted them in what I consider a “dignified” color (no neon, not gold and pink and bright blue) and I also had it in my head that I didn’t want to spend more than $20. I…
