A couple months ago, @WTFPinterest (who runs a hilarious blog that you should totally go check out) sent me a tip that Huffington Post was saying that popsicle stick bracelets are one of the most popular pins ever to hit Pinterest. My very own sister had pointed the pin out to me even before that, [...]

Summertime Splashy Nails
My grandma taught me how to paint my nails when I was like 7. Ever since, I’ve been kind of an addict. If I ever were to be in danger of hoarding anything, it would be nail polish. I’m pretty sure I have more nail polish than every cosmetics and hair thing I own combined. [...]

How to Pack
I’m going to New York this week, as in the city. I’ve been to New York before. Once. For five hours. With a bunch of glee club girls from North Carolina. I’m pretty sure we spent most of that time standing on top of the Empire State Building debating the questions of the universe. Julie: [...]

Pink Salty Dog
Martha Stewart and I have a little bit of a rocky relationship. You might call me the anti-Martha, but it’s not because I try to be the anti-Martha. It’s just that where she turns everything she touches into a good thing, I turn everything I touch into shit. (I’ve been known to refer to this particular [...]

Strawberries & Cream Mug Cake
I think of myself as a tolerant person. I only groan a little when I hear a dad joke. I hang out with people who are prettier than me. And I occasionally let people with Romney bumper stickers get in front of me on the freeway. I can even tolerate the odd disgusting food item, [...]

Deviled Chicks
I fall victim to the “oh my God that is so cute” sickness on Pinterest regularly. I’m pretty sure Easter is the best holiday for that. Bunnies and chicks are already so cute I want to die. How, I ask you, could any human being with a real, beating heart resist this? Not I. Especially [...]

Orange Julius Smoothie
Once upon a time there was a girl who had overly fond memories of Orange Julius. She lived in Durham, which is in the middle of a vast desert when it comes to Orange Juliuses, the nearest being in the faraway land of Raleigh. Not long ago, our intrepid heroine drove to Raleigh specifically for [...]

10-Minute No-Sew T-shirt Bag
No-sew, no-bake, no-effort, I’m in. I don’t sew or bake or… um… eff. So this no-sew t-shirt bag, which supposedly takes less than 10 minutes to make, was pretty much right up my alley. Plus, who doesn’t need another ugly-ass tote bag taking up space in their closet, right? Step 1: Cut off the sleeves [...]

The Simple Gibson Tuck
Sounds dirty, doesn’t it? Sorry to disappoint you, but a Gibson tuck is a hair maneuver, not anything super interesting. (This isn’t that kind of blog.) I’ve been growing my hair out and working on an updo here and there, and I thought this one might be easy enough to attempt, especially since our hair [...]

Ranch House Crock Pot Pork Chops
I like to tell people I’m efficient, but that translates loosely to, “I’m a lazy motherfucker.” Crock pot dishes (no matter how unappetizing they may look) appeal to me mostly because they involve buying a cheap slab of meat, opening cans, and chucking it all in the crock pot to cook all day. Imagine my [...]
