Hi Internet! My name is Christine. I'm in advertising. I write copy by day and also freelance as a web designer and typographer on my down time. I'm a total geek when it comes to gadgets & electronics and I also have an inexplicable love for architecture and an unwavering devotion to modern furniture, but that's not to say that I don't appreciate the classics either.

I'm also a big believer in supporting local business. I'm far from a socialist, but I think it's clear that big business and corporate America has become much too powerful in our society. I try to buy second-hand goods whenever I can - even though I can afford to buy things new - and I routinely donate things that I haven't used in a while. There have been a few instances when I wished I hadn't given something away, but for the most part, the practice is liberating and not to mention conducive to living the minimalist lifestyle.

Please note that I only review products that I own, or have owned and have used extensively. If you have any questions about a product I have reviewed please feel free to email me.
