Geek Faerie

I'm not greedy.  Well maybe a little but who isn't at times.  You know you have a list somewhere, mental or written down of all the lovely and awesome things you'd get for yourself if you had endless supplies of cash to spend.  I didn't write that list here, I just picked a few items I really want off of it.  Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Pencils - I know they aren't out yet but if they were the first thing on my list would be Urban Decay's new 24/7 Shadow Pencils.  Swatched and reviewed Here (Part 1) and Here (Part 2)  by Temptalia.  I want them cause they are the same amazing quality as Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliners and they are super easy to apply.  Perfect for those of us that want some color in the morning without having to spend a lot of time doing their make-up.  Or for those of us that are running perhaps perpetually late and need to trim down their make-up routine some. *looks innocent and whistles* Benefit All You Need Is Gloss - Re...

FTW or Friday's the Win is a recurring theme every Friday.  Since everyone looks forward to Friday's arrival each week I figured it'd be a good time to share with everyone here at Geek Faerie what made your week filled with extra awesomeness!  Maybe you finally discovered how to clone Leonard Nimoy.  Maybe you had so much fun playing with your new Faraday cage.  Or maybe you've figured out how to turn your XboX into a Transformer so it can do battle with your newly transformed PS3.  Whatever it is that made your week tell us all about it here. For me it was knowing that I had so many good friends at work, at home, and on the Internet.  Thank you all so much for your support, your love, your caring, and most of all for being there.  I wish my arms were big enough to hug you all at once. <3 Now it's your turn!  What made your FTW or Friday's the Win even better this week?

I decided to take some time create a few posts entitled Gitmas Quest 2010.  These posts will be filled with gift ideas, shops, items I've gotten and would recommend, websites, Etsy shops, whatever I feel like that will help you out this Holiday in the gifts department. This post is comprised of Etsy shops I've favourited or have made purchases from.   I've categorized them and added a short blurb for each of what I like about each of these shops. Clothing BRANDED - The Vintage Dad shirt is what caught my eye.  But I fell in love with the Grr Argh! Whedon Monster shirt! taraduff - Do you also have a teen that wishes he could grow an entire beard instead of the tufts of down he's sporting now?  Help him along this Holiday with a bearded knit cap. BabyEtte - I don't have a baby of my own but I've always seen the baby carrier sling things and thought they were so cute.  Well here you can find one to match not only your style but your outfit too! Shri...

With Thanksgiving right around the corner and the world over scrambling for recipes, ideas, short cuts, and what not I figured I would post a few recipes of my own. Ah the fattened fowl that is Turkey.  How we love thee every November.  Course I love you a lot too when I frequent Boston Market every other day of the year. :D  But Thanksgiving is the one day that I get to become a chaotic b!tch in the kitchen, make a giant feast and feed all those that survived the entire day of me being a crazed lunatic in the kitchen.  Sounds like fun doesn't?  Course my family will tell you I'm a crazed lunatic the other 364. :p  Now some people tend to shy away from making a whole turkey during Thanksgiving and I don't know why that is.  Sure it takes some time and some prep but there are no shortage of websites and hot lines out there that can help you with any dilemma that might arise.  I really think you should give it a go this year if you haven't made a ...

FTW or Friday's the Win is a recurring theme every Friday.  Since everyone looks forward to Friday's arrival each week I figured it'd be a good time to share with everyone here at Geek Faerie what made your week filled with extra awesomeness!  Maybe you finally met Neil Gaiman.  (insert OMG fangrrl squee!)  Maybe you finished all of Fable III and saved Albion!  Or maybe you found that elusive and discontinued MAC lipstick on E-bay and it didn't cost you an arm, leg, and your first born child.  Whatever it is that made your week tell us all about it here. For me it was finally getting my Sigma Make-up brushes   and my Lush haul! From Sigma I got the Synthetic Face kit, the Complete kit with black brush roll, the Hollywood Glamour Retractable Kabuki in Black, and the Lip brush.  I have been wanting to get these brushes for a long time now.  I've been reading reviews, watching youtube videos, and trolling the site to drool.  I curr...

With Thanksgiving right around the corner and the world over scrambling for recipes, ideas, short cuts, and what not I figured I would post a few recipes of my own.  I know this recipe is ALL over the Internet but how many of us have actually tried it?  Most people walk through the supermarket, see those lovely gourds stacked high in their crates and keep on walking.  They pay them no never mind and why is that, because they are too hard to cut into.  Well if you own a good sharp kitchen or chefs knife and a wooden mallet I can assure you these are not hard to cut into at all.  And what's this?  I have included videos from the Internets to show you how easy a gourd is to cut! This video is about making butternut squash soup but the tips for how to slice your squash are still the same.  Just follow Alton Brown's easy and super simple steps . :)  There is also a longer Alton Brown video detailing squash and gourds here.   If you don't kn...
