Today it isn’t unusual for anyone from bodybuilders to once a week gym goers (like me) to seek a little extra help when working out. And for most people that extra edge seems to come in the form of powdered, concentrated supplements. So taking something that claims to help boost your energy and extend your … Continue reading Do you know what’s in your pre-workout supplement?
The Moistest Cornbread Ever
I don't think that my Sundays are complete without a family grocery trip to stock up for the week. And whenever my mother and I feel like splurging a tiny bit, we head to Whole Foods for a nicer cut of meat or my mom's newest 365 obsession (right now it's apparently their hand sanitizer). … Continue reading The Moistest Cornbread Ever
Queen of Geese
7.11.15 No geese were harmed in this outfit of the day! They are just being squad in the back. It's been a while since I've posted an outfit. Updates: my hair is a lighter orange-red now!

The Hello Kitty Exhibit & What it means to be Asian
Hello Kitty is an icon-- a symbol, an “artifact” which represents some form of culture. To me she is adorable, peaceful, cute, delicate, and in a way, malleable. As all symbols, definition may vary but an image stays constant. She’s been criticized for her lack of mouth—“she can’t talk. She’s just another symbol for the … Continue reading The Hello Kitty Exhibit & What it means to be Asian
Black Opium: Sensitive Scent?
Don't get me wrong, I love a good fragrance. Especially a fruity feminine one that smells playful but a little seductive too. Even those who don't consistently wear perfume or body spray may have a signature scent they are loyal to. I noticed that Yves Saint Laurent has a new perfume called, "Black Opium." The … Continue reading Black Opium: Sensitive Scent?
Hello Kitty a Faux Feline?
Has your childhood has been a lie? Remember that feeling you felt when you discovered Santa Claus was nothing but a charade of your mother and Amazon.com? Or the Tooth Fairy was just a farce to make you feel better about losing your pearly whites? The World was struck with shock and confusion just last … Continue reading Hello Kitty a Faux Feline?
