7 Science Fiction and Fantasy Books for Feminists
I considered calling this post “7 Science Fiction and Fantasy Books for Normal People”, as it’s kind of the same, but I’m hoping that having “feminism” in the title will get me a huge amount of clicks! If you’re a long-time reader of SF&F, you know how relen..
Summer 2015: Make-Up Edit
Life is cruel: I was delaying this article until the weather here would at least vaguely resemble summer. This finally happened last weekend, so I got the post ready for today and… now it’s horrible and grey again. But this important matter cannot wait any..
5 Products for Shorter Hair
Some of you may have noticed that I’ve cut my hair recently. I’ve been planning this for a long time, but was not entirely sure about the style and length. Now it’s done and I’m pretty happy with the result. The stylist tried to warn me gently that this was ..

Violet, Violet & Violet
I’ve wanted to do this violet tea comparison post for a long time and had it all mapped out in my head, down to the last detail. It was beautiful. The result, unfortunately, does not resemble that imaginary post very much.

3 Candles for Spring
I used to find scented candles the most pointless things in the world. If there was anything I did consider more pointless, it was expensive scented candles. And I just could not understand why someone would burn them in spring or summer!?! Winter, maybe, if..
