Spooky season is officially upon us, and I thought, why not kick it off with a story about the Hotel St. Pierre, a spot I briefly called home for a night during my recent trip to New Orleans? Like all scary stories, this one involves a run-down hotel and a Norman Bates-esque clerk who attempted…

Beauty Junk Round-Up: Maple Holistics Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo
Y’all, I drank more in the past week and a half than I have since July of 2016 when I got blitzed off my gourd on homebrewed 13% chocolate stout and puked all over my bed like a sick five-year-old. What was the occasion, you ask? Two words: New Orleans. I had this little Labor…
Buen Camino
I’ve been back home for a day and I’m still trying to process the amazing past two weeks I had in Spain. Two weeks that seemed to go by fast and slow at the same time. Two weeks that kicked off with a week-long trek down the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. I didn’t know…
Jonathan Taylor Thomas Was a Little Shit in Man of the House
Many moons ago, before alcohol poisoning via Four Loko was trendy, my sister and I popped a couple cans and revisited a favorite childhood classic, Man of the House. Remember that movie? With Jonathan Taylor Thomas (here on out referred to as JTT) and Chevy Chase? Here, let me refresh your memory: This movie was…
Boeuf Bourguignon and Anthony Bourdain
I was at my desk at work, engulfed in one thing or another, when my phone lit up with a new Google Hangouts notification. It was from my husband. “Hey, sweetest heart. I have a challenge for you, if you’d like to try it.” I was intrigued. My husband is unpredictable when it comes to…
Beauty Junk Roundup: Silk 18 Shampoo
This isn’t so much a “roundup” as it is more of a review of just one product: the Silk 18 Shampoo from Maple Holistics. Once again, Maple Holistics reached out to me to see if I would be willing to do a review for this product (see past reviews here and here), and I agreed….
Race Recap: Terrain Race Orlando
Last Saturday, I completed the Terrain Race, a 5K obstacle course at the Spyder Mx Action Sports Complex in Wildwood, about an hour’s drive west of Orlando. It was my third obstacle course race since I started dabbling last year, and, while I didn’t get as filthy as I did at the Spartan Race, I…
Girl, Level Up Your Snacking
Two weeks ago, I went with some friends to see Rachel Hollis presents: Made For More. While I took more away from the documentary than I thought I would, this post will not be about the movie. It will be about the snacks. As I mentioned on my podcast, I have been on a medically supervised…
Introducing: Frag Chat With the Fragrance Chick
So, I started a podcast. That’s a thing. I wanted to give it a few episodes before I started cross-promoting it to make sure it was going to be something I stuck with and that I was a good “fit” for the platform. Well, the latter is questionable, but I’m in it for the foreseeable…
2019 Lameness and Resolutions
I almost considered leaving the title of this post as just “2019” as I couldn’t be bothered to come up with something witty. Then I tacked on the rest because I felt like it still needed some sort of descriptor. Still not witty, but they can’t all be winners. And that’s the winning attitude I…
