Preparing for the holidays can be time-consuming and stressful, especially if you are hosting in your home. We all want to have successful gatherings with great food, the perfect gifts, and a sparkling clean house. You shop, cook, and clean in advance, but you are living in your home so last-minute cleaning is also a […]
If you’ve been a long-time reader of this blog you’ll know how I have an especially warm spot in my heart for nail polish. It was one of the first beauty items I really enjoyed collecting and spending my free time on. I recently stopped by an OPI event and will full on admit I […]
Android is a huge ecosystem, with more than 1 billion active users spanning thousands of different device models. People who use Android have an incredible amount of choice, with significant variations in speed, feature set, and cost.

Over the past year or so I’ve been trying out Resilio Sync (formerly BitTorrent Sync) as a possible alternative to Dropbox. It’s gradually improved to where I think I can rely on it. With my Dropbox subscription up for renewal in a couple of weeks, now’s the time. In this post I’ll describe how to […]
Gird your loins, beauty lovers. Nicely girded? Alright, it’s that time of year again when Sephora does their grand 20% off sale for VIB status shoppers (you get this if you spent $350 in the last year there, which is embarrassingly easy to do).
