I don’t think there is an easy way to say this, I have a lot of baggage. Crap that I carry around every day. Incidents like the guy who cut me off on the freeway on my way to work, or comments from that one ass hole I dated who said I would be “a … Continue reading »

Keep Lifting Me Higher
I don’t know how many of you have realized the great heights our platforms are reaching again. It seems the Spice Girls have called and want their Lisa Frank shoes back. Kidding. Maybe they’ve teamed up with Jeffrey Campbell (my current lust-the shoes, not the man). Nineties, much? My favorite trend this summer regarding shoes, tall and small, … Continue reading »

Mr. B’s Messy Kitchen Presents: The Perfect Roast Chicken
This post will be a little different from the last, as the last recipe was chosen and written up by the girlfriend, Kris Israel (because I was too lazy). For the most part, future posts will consist of either my tried and true recipes or experimental disasters that taught me better ways to make stuff, … Continue reading »

One day, as all girls do, I was looking through wedding pictures of friends (possibly strangers. . . don’t judge me) and I remembered that my friend Dennis, who I went to San Jose State with, had his own photography business, Studio Dizon. So I lurked on over to his facebook page and WOW! I could … Continue reading »
Don’t forget your Q-TIP
My mom always used to tell me to “pack a Q-TIP”, which is an acronym for “quit taking it personally.” I would always roll my eyes at the cheesy Mom-ism, but it has become a mental staple for me. It doesn’t matter if we are talking about the date who never called back, the boss … Continue reading »

Where are they now: Eric Carle
Do you remember Eric Carle? He’s hit several children’s litterary grand slams like, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?”(1967) and, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” (1969). Seriously, who could forget? (Probably most of us, until I brought it up– but the point is you now remember who he is.) Bright, sunny, animal illustrations that made … Continue reading »
Leggings are NOT Pants.
Leggings were made popular in the late eighties and early nineties by pop artists such as Blondie and Tiffany, TV shows and movies like Blossom, Grease, Clarissa Explains it All, and The Breakfast Club. I remember wearing red leggings with my navy blue and white polka dotted A-line dress in elementary school. They were just … Continue reading »
