Getting Back on the Writing Wagon
I found this empty but titled post in my drafts folder as I was contemplating what to post about today, so thought it was an appropriate one to write on. Sometimes I create a title for a post to remind myself of a topic that I might want to write about later. This one has been…

Fashion Crisis
Since I was old enough to understand the art of dressing myself, I have struggled to find my own style whilst also staying current with some trends. In Japan, it was a struggle to fit in as people’s fashion represents their role of the day. For example, if one is a housewife, then usually some…

Mindset Turmoil
Aside from the unique stress caused by our current life situation, I also have inner turmoil (a bit dramatic of a word?) regarding my change in lifestyle. Yesterday I wrote about my recent dabblings into the world of networking and the dreaded ‘housewife’ world. These are just a glimpse of the many ways in which my…

Housewife Networking
Networking is one of my most dreaded activities. Having to participate in and encourage small talk causes sweat to form on my brow. However, I need clients and I need social interaction or else my husband will despise coming home to two whiny cats and a desperate housewife. 😛 For the past couple of weeks…

Drafting: Yoga Fitness vs Yoga Therapy

Never-ending perm
Over the years I have tried different hair styles, always looking for the one that made me less “Asian” looking and avoiding the ones that were particularly stereotypical. Whilst living in Japan it was nearly impossible to get my hair done without being turned into another Japanese girl keeping up with the latest trend. They…

Still Anti-Vegan?
So, back in June, I wrote about how veganism is not for me. Remember then I said that I had issues about it as a diet? Well, recently a vegan friend of mine finally posted on FB how being vegan is not about the diet, but simply about protecting animals. Instead of preaching about health…

More Snapchat Fun
I have decided that I only like my voice for vlogging on Snapchat if there is a funny voiceover. Although the face isn’t great, I can live with it. 😛 M is probably right that I’m just a little bored playing with this, but it’s also a case of getting myself used to the…

Money Turns Green or Mean
Some topics are generally shied away from – politics, religion, sex, and money. Mostly I touch on these subjects freely, but lightly, even though I do not really know the breadth of my audience since this space is primarily for my own entertainment. Still, with the Internet the way it is and knowing that my…
