Welcome back, everyone! I am still in South Korea and tomorrow I will celebrate my thirty-fifth birthday! Wowza! I never thought I’d be experiencing such a trip in my lifetime, let alone for a bit of a milestone occasion. I am sure Sarah is steadily steering the S.S. Smart Bitch in my absence. Oh captain, my captain! Also, we’re in mid-April now! How did that happen? The spring always feels like it flies by. Maybe … Continue reading Links: Higher Ed, Little Golden Books, & More→
Hey ho! Let’s go! Though I scheduled this post a couple weeks ago, I’m an officially in South Korea by the time you’re reading this. I’m sure I’m having a great time. We plan to do an overnight stay at a Buddhist temple and I’m most definitely going to load up on Korean beauty and skincare products. There’s also a chance some areas will still have cherry blossoms. Karaoke and ungodly amounts of Korean BBQ … Continue reading Links: Anne Hathaway, Rat Music, & More→
Hellooooo! It’s time for Wednesday Links! How are we feeling about April? Have the allergies started for anyone yet? I’m always dreading allergy season, but mine didn’t start until mid-May last year. I keep waiting for the day I don’t get them because I’ve heard if you live in an area for a decade, your body gets used to it. Well…I’ve surpassed a decade and I still have ’em. Maybe I’m just a…late bloomer. (lol) … Continue reading Links: The Spice Girls, More Trader Joe’s Discussion, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! The Boston spring has devolved back into a Boston winter this week. Typical! I don’t really mind the cold so much; it’s the wind. The wind is so brutal sometimes. My partner recently made a Trader Joe’s run and TJs is so good for fun and interesting snacks. But I have a gripe. They’re so popular and I get very overwhelmed and overstimulated in crowded areas. I want to browse, … Continue reading Links: Public Library Awesomeness, Fic Organizing, & More→
Welcome back! Last time I talked about making tiramisu. This time, I’m talking about lasagna. My partner had a dinner request, which they so rarely have, so I had to oblige. I’ve never made lasagna, but I’ve made plenty of other involved pasta dishes like stuffed shells. However, I was not expecting to make a hearty sauce from scratch. I did, though, and it was amazing. I used this recipe and I really don’t think they’re … Continue reading Links: F1 Racing, Readathons, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! March is turning out to be a busy month for me, especially with the lead up to my international vacation next month. Also, can anyone make a compelling case for keeping Daylight Saving Time? To cheer my partner up this week, I made them their favorite dessert: tiramisu. If you ever want a quick tiramisu recipe, I highly recommend this one! How’s your March so far? Busy or slow going? … Continue reading Links: Musicals, Rankings, & More→
Hey, ho! Let’s go (read some Wednesday Links)! I had a big productive weekend and I’m still riding that high or I was…until I started getting the telltale pre-period discomfort. Welp, it was nice while it lasted. Speaking of periods, I posted about this on the SBTB Instagram. I discovered the Menstruation Crustacean in a local store and then discovered there are two more varieties: a crab and a shrimp. I think shape-wise, I’d prefer … Continue reading Links: Libraries, Rodeos, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Did you know the makers of Wingspan came out with a new game last month called Wyrmspan? My partner and I played it over the weekend and loved it! If you’re familiar with Wingspan, I’d say the games are 75-80% similar. However, there are some rule changes and new mechanics to Wyrmspan. I personally like this base game better than the base game of Wingspan. If you’ve played it, I’d also love to hear your … Continue reading Links: Home Decorating, Madam C.J. Walker, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I had my Romance Novel + Cheese Night on Friday and it went really well! Keep your eyes peeled for a write-up soon on how it went and what the yummy pairings were. I’m still a little sick so my partner and I definitely put a pause on any Valentine’s Day celebrations. We even had a fancy dinner reservations planned, which we wound up cancelling in favor of eating chips … Continue reading Links: I Know the Holidays Are Over→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Romantasy is inescapable; sorry, folks! If you remember last week or maybe even the week before where I mentioned my partner was sick…well, it finally claimed me. Boo! Hiss! I started feeling a cough on Thursday and I’m definitely over it. Please send me all of your good, healing vibes! … If you watched the Super Bowl, you might have seen that Michael Cera is the new spokesperson for CeraVe. … Continue reading Links: The Word of the Day is Romantasy→
Welcome back to Links! I know I just did one of these last week, but it has felt much longer. Maybe it’s because I’ve been quite busy. I also went to the mall over the weekend. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been shopping, let alone an actual mall. I know TikTok has been abuzz with the tweens invading Sephora for skincare brands and I can confirm that it’s very real. As someone who … Continue reading Links: Cheese-Making, Fast Cats, & More→
