Summer Skincare on the Cheap

Not to brag, but I have pretty great skin. Genetics have been good to me that way: good skin, crazy family, so I guess it balances out. Because of my perfect pores, I often have friends, and sometimes complete strangers, asking me what my secret is. Truthfully, there is no real “secret” to good skin. … Read more

What Not To Say On A Date

Honesty should always be saved for the 3rd date.   “I’m just recovering from a chest infection, I shouldn’t be contagious though!” “I sleep in old man pajamas, like loud, obnoxious ones. I’m sorry, what were you asking me?” “On this one episode of Phineas and Ferb, they delved into Candace’s mind and encountered her … Read more

5 songs lyrics that could really be about my chest infection

I’m going on week 3 of the never ending cold. Shoot me now. It has progressed into a RESPIRATORY INFECTION, oh glory be. I have been sick since January, and I’m having a hard time coping, and spending a lot of time in bed. My homemade remedies and green shakes have failed me, and I’ve … Read more

Why I Should Be on Murdoch Mysteries

Why I should be on Murdoch Mysteries **Sidenote: If you don’t already watch Murdoch Mysteries, GO. GO WATCH IT NOW. Set in 1890s Toronto, it’s a crime drama, very Sherlock-esque for all you fangirls suffering withdrawals who haven’t been able to get into Elementary (it’s okay; I couldn’t either). So much fun. Canadians are quite … Read more

I'm in my metaphorical "happy place" right here. Susie, Chretien, Gramma, Me.

How to Grieve, katherinepedia-style

There are lots of things to grieve over in this world: famine, war, economic decline, poor fashion choices. More personally, I’m grieving over my GPA (RIP 3.5), my previous mile time, my overall health, my missing wallet, and the death of my grandpa. I thought other people might be grieving about things right now as … Read more

Open Letter to a guy I met at a party

We need to talk. This is the part where I’d offer you a brewski, if I drank beer. Would you like a Vitamin Water? Or almond milk? No? Okay then. So we’ve made out a few times now, and it’s been fun and all, but I just don’t see this going anywhere and don’t see … Read more

Screw You, Taylor Swift

I am not a very romantic person. Fluffy notions and ordering for each other in restaurants and standing out in the rain don’t really do it for me. I’m more of a “hey I need a date for this event and you’re fairly good looking” kind of gal, or even “I’m at this party alone … Read more

Me and Yale, the HBC Bea, living it up in my twin bed.

Sick at School

Sick at School Salutations, all. I am writing this from my bed currently because, you guessed it, I’m sick.  I am a walking biological weapon and as such, my doctor has ordered me to stay in bed, “resting”.  Ha. I see he does not know me very well. Being sick sucks generally, but being sick … Read more
