I love to read. Always have. When I was little I used to set up a fake “library” in my bedroom and be a librarian, checking out books and reshelving them. I very rarely had patrons, but this didn’t stop me. I was also the kid that would fake go to sleep and then try [...]
It’s Wednesday and that means it’s time for Classy in Philadelphia’s feature, Where In The World Wednesday! Says Jess: If you participate, please take the button the fabulous Feris made to use in your post! “The idea of WITWW is to post a picture of you in someplace in the world…it doesn’t have to be somewhere foreign [...]
I am notorious for buying beauty and bath products that I see in commercials, online or at Sephora (those little bins at the checkout are a killer). A few uses or weeks later, the product has lost its luster and I’m on to something new. This has become a serious issue in terms of space and [...]
I’ve decided to try doing Classy in Philadelphia’s feature, Where In The World Wednesday! Most of my recent travels are from while I was in Australia, so this week’s photo is of me ziplining in the jungle by Cape Tribulation: We had such a great time that morning! It was a short but steep hike [...]
I am finally an all-Apple girl! I already have an iPhone and a Nano, but after much begging/oratory prowess my parents agreed to buy me this beauty for Christmas/Graduation (I’m also paying for a portion): I’ve only had it for a little over a week, but I already love it. I’ve used Macs before at [...]
I read a lot of blogs, most I never comment on or link to, but I read them faithfully. One blogger whose posts I always look forward to reading is Brandy. I know not many people read this blog, but I’ve copy/pasted a message from her below, in hopes that someone will read it and [...]
Yet again I have abandoned my blog. In my defense I was busy finishing up my internship and classes in Australia, and then too lazy when I finally got home to do anything but watch TV and read mystery novels. But I think I’m back. Maybe? Kinda sorta. We’ll see.
My favorite movies of all time are without a doubt The Sound of Music and Meet Me In St. Louis (Grease is a close but not that close third). I’m obsessed. I know all the songs from both films (not surprising since I own the soundtracks), have read the behind the scenes book about The [...]
Don’t get me wrong, I love Australia, but wow do I miss Boston and America in general. Australia has loads of things to do, eat and see but nothing can replace the comforts of home. There are a slew of reasons why I’m excited to get home (which is both Boston and Syracuse, NY), but [...]
This past weekend I went on a class trip to the Hunter Wine Valley, located about 2 hours northwest of Sydney (I think). We left on Sunday morning, and it was not looking like it was going to be a nice day. By the time we reached our first stop, Tyrell’s Winery, the rain had [...]
