just a little fitness update for myself

End of January, I weighed in at 143. I was back to square one. A year’s worth of progress from working out and dieting was flushed down the drain from the following half-year of sloth and gluttony. December, I joined a CrossFit gym but it wasn’t until March that I could go in regularly. There [...]

Burnt Umber Omber Nails

Recently, I shared The Beauty Department’s ombre nails tutorial on my Facebook page. I finally had the chance to try it out myself but ALAS I tend to avoid shopping for similar nail polish colors and that totally bit me in the ass this time around!! I do have a short spectrum of neutral and [...]

Cannon Beach and Seaside: How Oregonians Enjoy the Coast

I love it when the fiancé gets spontaneous. Neither of us are that good at being spontaneous but when he does step up, it makes for an amazing time. I always worry that I might not be able to remember every detail of every happy moment I’ve spent with him because I have such a [...]

Sliver of Silver

Man, Trixie is one sexy silver foil. You really have to hand it to Zoya for making such perfect shades that seem to hit your color cravings at just the right spot. By itself it can be too festive for my usual look, which is the between-the-gym-and-grocery-store soccer mom look D: (I really have let [...]

New hair, better skin, shitty wedding to plan

Spring is in the airrrrr!!! TralalalalaaaCHOOOOO *sneeze* Apparently, so is pollen. Whatever, I’m not going to let some stupid allergies ruin my sunshiney fun. Do you know what it’s like when spring finally starts to look like spring in the Pacific Northwest? You can actually HEAR FAIRIES SINGING AND FLITTING ABOUT…. which turn out to [...]

Confusion with Ideeli purchase

I’m planning a trip to Hawai’i in late April with my fiancé and, even though it’s a bit early, I ordered a swimsuit and a pair of sandals from Ideeli and received them today. The swimsuit looks great, even though I haven’t felt all that great about my body lately. I modeled it for my [...]

Portland and Los Angeles in a Week

I’m still sick. I’ve been sick for all of February. Maybe it’s the price I’m paying for all the exciting things I have planned for 2012 and the good times that have already passed. My lifelong first visit to Los Angeles, during the last week of January, was short but packed with great times and [...]

So, what are you?

Since my last blog post was surprisingly well-received, it’s like you guys are basically asking me to just ramble in half-conscious stupor. Is this what you want from me?! IS IT?! So, let’s talk about what you do when someone comes up to you and you’ve been hanging out with this person with a mutual [...]

I Wrote the Book on Single, Bitch!

I had many years of crappy relationships and sheer loneliness before meeting my fiancé. I had never celebrated Valentine’s Day and I think I had one birthday with a boyfriend. The guys I dated were mostly complete tools and it took me a lot of time to figure out what it was I wanted before [...]

Happy New Year from Alienman & Co.

I feel like my life has been getting better and better, largely thanks to the wonderful friends I’ve made and the man I now get to call my fiancé. Every time I use the word fiancé, I feel like I’m only saying it for fun. It still doesn’t sound natural but I do enjoy calling [...]
