This past week has been crazy. Despite all of the crazy, the 26th was my last day at work and the day that my beloved baby brother was born. :D My family and I went out to Ruggles Grill to have dinner. I’ve never been to Ruggles Grill before, but I frequent Ruggles [...]

In my previous post, I wrote about purchasing the Aquadelic quad but didn’t play with it yet. I had some spare time a weekend or two ago and got to test it.
Inside the palette, the colors appear bright and vibrant. They also have a creamy appearance to them. However, after using this [...]

Life has been a bit crazy busy these few days… Thankfully, I have tomorrow off, so I can gather my thoughts together. ;)
This past weekend, I decided to do some organization. I still haven’t fully settled into my apartment, and my vanity was looking like a dumping ground for stuff. I’m seriously [...]

Thanks to Grey, I have become hopelessly addicted to Morgana Minerals. Melissa makes some really amazing, high-quality products. I am a huuuuuuge fan of her vegan lipsticks. The colors are bright and bold, and the lipsticks are moisturizing. Azalea is my favorite, and I can’t believe just how many compliments I [...]

I assure you — it was tasty! ;)
I’ve been craving some pasta, and I had some kale on hand. After doing a quick Google search, I decided to make a tomato, kale, and mushroom pasta modified from this recipe on VegWeb. :)
Ingredients
Makes about 3-4 servings.

3 medium-sized tomatoes roughly chopped
One small head of kale, stems [...]

I took these pictures for a forum awhile ago, but I thought I’d post them here. :) These were primarily taken with flash; the one that didn’t use flash has been labeled as such.
This was the first order I ever made from Fyrinnae, from February 2008. Ahhh, how time flies by… They’re [...]

I have a small little perfume collection. Aside from my bottles of Chanel No. 5 and Dior J’adore, I own Haunt (no longer open), Haus of Gloi, Demeter, BPAL, B Never (closing), and Lush fragrances.
Here are my 5mLs and B Never perfume sprays:

Haus of Gloi perfumes at the top, BPAL blends on the middle [...]

I was looking to pick up some cream blush, and I didn’t feel like paying department store prices for one. I’ve always used powdered blush, but with the winter dryness, my cheeks were left with a slight bout of eczema that resulted in some splotchy color, even with a primed and prepped surface. :/
It [...]

There are so many wonderful reviews about Fyrinnae that I’m just here to show some after photos of their products. :B
But first, a brief history of my patronage….
I remember when I first came across their website nearly three years ago, mesmerized by their vast array of eyeshadows. I’ve never seen such colorful, bright, and [...]

The Lush forums are an evil place where a lot of enabling occurs. ;) However, the people there have a lot of great taste and have introduced me to companies that I otherwise would have never heard of! One such company is Kogi’s Custom Clay. As indicated by her store title, she [...]
