Simplicity Summer 2018 Patterns

I'm kind of in shock a little bit. Simplicity just released their Summer 2018 patterns and for the first time I'm completely unimpressed with their vintage offerings. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. You guys know me, Simplicity is my favourite Big 4 pattern company and normally I love their vintage …

A Little Tallulah & Marlene

Lately I've been re-reading The Girls: Sappho Goes to Hollywood by Diana McLellan (an absolutely wonderful book that I highly recommend reading!) and it has made me want to hunt down and watch or re-watch the films all the women included in the book made.

The Stepford Husbands, 1996

I think I may need a trip to the Stepford Institute for Human Behaviour, because after watching this film, I'm experiencing a lot of rage. This movie was terrible. At least Revenge of The Stepford Wives was so bad that it was almost good, because it was so cheesy you could laugh your way through …

Lutska Essential Oils Review!

After years of avoiding just about everything scented due to my sensitivity to synthetic scents, I've recently been trying to repair my relationship with scents through experimenting with herbs, essential oils and other natural scents.

Marilyn Monroe, Debunking the Myths: Resources

Awhile back I posted a review of Murder, Lies and Cover-Ups by David Gardner where I talked about the importance of fact checking, especially when it comes to the sources making shocking claims about the death of Marilyn Monroe (or anyone else, for that matter). I recently found some very good resources for doing just …
