As a child, I was terrified. It would be easier to list the things I was not terrified of than vice versa, but I was particularly terrified of monsters. Television trailers for monster movies would have me cowering behind the sofa for hours, a cardboard cut-out of Boris Karloff would …
If you’ve been reading for any length of time, you’ll know that I mostly blog about beauty products and style. Rarely does any bit of my personal life make it into this blog–I’m a fairly private person by nature and I think it’s important to separate my personal and my …
If you had asked me as a child what colour I liked most, I would have responded, “odden my wooaaaaah dodden.” For those of you that don’t speak nonsense, that would translate roughly to “orange is my faaaaaaavourite colour.” It might have even meant, “I’m obsessed with the colour orange.” …
When Sophistique Noir announced the monthly theme for April was Flowers, I was a little stumped. I really don’t own anything floral, clothing-wise. I own a lot of solids, and the patterns I do have are completely off the wall. I thought I had a vast collection of hair flowers, …
When Luna of Toxid-Lotus announced her weekly makeup challenge theme was “Seapunk,” I had to laugh. It sounded to me like a mis-tagged Etsy item (like “seampunk” or “steampuk”), probably made from brass octopus charms and copper filigree findings, or perhaps any one of these things.

This Winter has been fairly mild, so perhaps it shouldn’t be any surprise that Spring is quickly approaching. March has had its weather ups and downs so far, but I managed to enjoy some beautiful moments this week. I personally hate the winter and have a very low tolerance for …
Over the last few weeks, I’ve worked hard, met rigorous deadlines, and completed some projects I can be proud of. I’ll find out in late April if I can really reap the rewards of my expended time and energies, but regardless of the outcome I’ve come a long way. I …
I’ve been even more absent than usual lately, and I apologize. I’ve had a lot going on and I’m not very good at juggling. For that reason, I’m taking a brief hiatus. I have several projects due next week for school and work and I’m going to need every spare …
My house has been turned upside-down and inside-out lately for some pre-Spring cleaning. I personally hate cleaning and anything remotely similar (decluttering, destashing, trashing, weeding-out, etc, etc), but sometimes I find some neat things in the process. This month’s Homework Assignment from le Proffeseur Gothique was “I Forgot I Even …
