Get your fix

You’re probably a mere shell of a human that can’t function properly until you’ve been fueled. And by fueled, I mean caffeinated. Pick your poison: coffee or tea. Either way, it’s of the utmost importance to have the best products in order to achieve caffeine euphoria. Sure, you could buy a cuppa every day, but […]

To bang or not to bang?

That could mean a number of things for you. Likely, however, it means you’re gearing up for cooler temps (if and when they finally arrive) by revamping your wardrobe. It would make sense that you’ll establish your “fall look,” from head to toe. For me, my toes will be covered with a variety of boots, […]

Before the fall

As I trolled along, my foot was met with a sound that was familiar, yet strange. Crunch. I stooped down for inspection and saw underfoot what was unmistakably the remains of a dead leaf. While this might mean nothing to you — and I’m aware that a fallen leaf could have been the victim of […]

Good gray

That next day I stopped coloring my Rogue-like gray streak in my hair (I sometimes like to think I’m actually an X-person). It didn’t fight back, as it’s been ignoring the color I’ve put on it since college. And, frankly, I was tired of only being able to part my hair a specific way to […]

Sporty spice

I recently made a trip to New York, and I was surprised that even the fashion world has gotten sporty with it. We live in Oklahoma, so we’re used to people out in public in questionable things like pajamas or workout gear, but this marks the first time that such attire is an actual trend. […]

Needle points

Who cares if you can list 10 bands named for odd animals and random fruit? I sure don’t. The point is, it’s imperative you let your musical tastes reflect what makes you happy, the stuff that makes you hum along or tap your toe. For example, I unabashedly love pop music — especially the ultra-tacky […]

Have an inkling

Once you decide on the reflection of your personal tastes and how you want to brand yourself, it’s time to embark on the journey of putting it all together, whether that’s specific clothing, a hairstyle, accessories or using your body as an artistic canvas. When you’re considering the addition of a permanent piece to your […]

Top it off

I’m OK at partying, even if it does require me to be outdoors. My idea of nature is a covered patio with a mimosa no more than arm’s length away. Alas, my notion of living year-round in an allergy-free, moderately temperate bubble is quickly dashed when I consider the palpable loneliness I’d feel without my […]

Pet project

Bailey, the aforementioned weenie dog, is an excellent napper. She’s good at disappearing into heaps of blankets and laundry. Above all, however, this lady is good at creating mischief when I’m not at home. Maybe you’re currently pet-parenting your own seemingly angelic pup. If you frequently return to overturned trash cans and chew toys that […]

The heat is on

Heat isn’t my thing. If I could fast-forward through summer, I would. The thought of that palpitating and near-delirious stretch of 100-plus-degree weather never gets any less uncomfortable for me. But the thought of working out in a sauna-type environment slowly began to appeal to me the further I got in my personal journey through […]
