Assembled Hazardly: May 2015
http://www.assembledhazardly.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
The last four or five months has been kind of nuts. If 2015 is any indication of the rest of my life, I think I'll be needing a permanent Vitamin B pump and a ginseng tube (or speed maybe? Either way, I've been finding it hard to slow down and almost had a crazy nervous breakdown a few weeks ago from working/un-procrastinating about 100 hours a week. Don't get me wrong, I am. Would a Bugaboo work better than a $150 Graco stroller from Target? I'm sure it would. Is it necessary? I keep getting these comme...

Assembled Hazardly: Addendum
http://www.assembledhazardly.com/p/2-tbsp.html
I've recently discovered a much better recipe for my homemade oil cleanser that requires virtually no washcloth or steaming. This may not be an oil cleanser in the truest sense, but I find the texture much more appealing, and the effect is absolutely divine. Since no wash cloth or steaming is required, I find it's very gentle on my sensitive skin. I used Penns Hill castile soap. 2 tbsp. organic, cold-pressed rice bran oil. 2 tbsp. organic, cold-pressed camellia sinensis oil. 2 tbsp. organic castor oil.

Assembled Hazardly: The FW'14 Capsule and a mini rant on Minimalist Wardrobes
http://www.assembledhazardly.com/2014/09/the-fw14-capsule-and-mini-rant-on.html
The FW'14 Capsule and a mini rant on Minimalist Wardrobes. I meant to write a long post about how I find that there are so many different variations of what a "minimalist wardrobe" means that it's rather exhausting trying to suss out how and why you should own a minimalist wardrobe (inspired in part by this thread. The funny thing though, was eventually I realized I couldn't have too tiny a wardrobe because I needed all these other things that made my hobbies and work more pleasant. I certainly could...

Assembled Hazardly: Packing light: Tropical Vacation Edition
http://www.assembledhazardly.com/2014/12/packing-light-tropical-vacation-edition.html
Packing light: Tropical Vacation Edition. A real testament to minimalist living is when you're forced to pack right before leaving for a week of vacation and right after. I would pick Anguilla in a heartbeat. Our 5 day trip was spent eating delicious albeit expensive seafood, drinking heavily-spiked rum punches and laying around on Shoal Bay. Whilst being treated like royalty by our the wonderful Robin and her crew at Las Esquinas - a boutique bed and breakfast. Las Esquinas at sundown. Photo by Asse...

Assembled Hazardly: January 2014
http://www.assembledhazardly.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
I need to finish this last leg of my dissertation and have made the New Year's resolution to abstain from procrastinating on the Internet. I'll be back in about six months with hopefully a more positive attitude and a bunch of cynical stories to share. Wish me luck. ETA (01/23/14): Last year, this blog made $127.55 through affiliate linking. Once I receive payment, it will be going to the Oregon Dachshund Rescue in the name of Readers of Assembled Hazardly. Thanks everyone! Saturday, January 11, 2014.

Assembled Hazardly: The Beauty Regime
http://www.assembledhazardly.com/2013/01/the-beauty-regime.html
Top: My skincare stash, lots of unlabeled bottles with homemade crap in them. Bottom: Detox! Note: Kusmi Tea is extremely overrated, the Detox tea smells like burnt cannabis). A ton of processed meat courtesy of Olympic Provisions. And a whole vat of mashed potatoes (almost all in one sitting, I kid you not). The unfortunate excess however, causes me to get really, really OCD about my skin this time of year, especially since meat and alcohol (yum! I'm a huge fan of In Fiore. A small label from San Franci...

Assembled Hazardly: Small things: Home pedicures
http://www.assembledhazardly.com/2014/09/small-things-home-pedicures.html
Small things: Home pedicures. Let me start off by just saying thank you to everyone who took the time to read through my last obtuse post. And leave a comment. I'm still trying to soak in all the opinions and ideas bandied about and thinking of apt responses (even two months on, it remains at the back of my mind). I've had a follow-up post on draft for the last month, and I just need to actually put my jumbled thoughts into coherent words. The Tweezerman callus stone. At the bottom of the bucket and roll...

Assembled Hazardly: Mid-week procrastination
http://www.assembledhazardly.com/2014/11/mid-week-procrastination.html
What I'd much rather be doing. I have nothing really important to say right now - though I do have a few semi-interesting posts to share in a few weeks. However, I felt that plagiarizing Kali's meme. Would be good way for me to take my mind off things as I sit here noshing on lunch, and to answer several mind-blowing questions that will change how you view me as a person. I think. 1 What are you wearing? Araks robe, Uggs slippers, Target tank top and modal capri tights from The Gap. 4 How tall are you?
