Gratitudinousness – What I am Thankful for Today and Always

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark November 23, 2011 Belly Dance

Gratitudinousness. It’s one of my favorite conjured words. And it really works in that gratitude is such a BIG concept…I think it kinda needs more greedy letters “We don’t need more to be thankful for, we might just need to be more thankful.” Unknown Many who know me in my life and on Twitter and [...]

Travel Recipe: My “Spanish Madre’s” Gazpacho

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark September 20, 2011 Random Ponderings

Last week I shared the fact that I was whipping up a batch of my favorite cold summer “soup”, gazpacho, and Brad Spencer on Twitter goaded me into sharing it. OK, actually, I am happy and proud to share this recipe, as for me it represents true food love that was lavished up me by [...]

Purge-a-tory: The Hell You Face When You Move

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 11, 2011 Random Ponderings

{EAV_BLOG_VER:c2660dbac39b0e53} I’m a sinner. I am guilty of the sin of hanging-on-to-things-ness. I’m not even sure where it stems from; loving beautiful, well-crafted things, thinking I’ll once again fit in to those jeans, my ridiculously over indulged sense of sentimentality, thinking I’ll scan those photos, a deep insecurity from childhood … Whatever has brought me to [...]

You Can DO It! Festive Chocolate Easter Nests

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark April 23, 2011 Random Ponderings

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you this missive about an easy Easter creation! This isn’t really a recipe, and no, it’s not even really instructions. It’s more like encouragement to just DO it! I saw a Food Porn picture that inspired the idea of making chocolate nests with little colorful eggs nest-led [...]

Valentine’s Day: Obligatory vs Voluntary

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark February 14, 2011 Random Ponderings

Is posting something about love and Valentine’s Day obligatory? I’m seeing a plethora of articles and fun lists going around about this fun and loving day. I pondered over whether I felt any pressure to post something to get on the band wagon, and decided; I always did like wagons. A kiss is a lovely [...]

For 2011 I Resolve…to Be Cool with Not Resolving

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 30, 2010 Random Ponderings

‘Tis the season, yes? It’s barreling toward us…another start of another year when we look back and take stock of what we accomplished in the last 12 months. Another lost chance to be toned and well-honed, loved, rich, enlightened, famous, respected, vice-free (so un-fun!) and any myriad other gag-inducing goals. OK fyne! Being rich is [...]

“Christmas” is Not a Bad Word

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 17, 2010 Random Ponderings

OK, this is a first for me. A post that delves into a…are you ready?…controversial topic. Which is precisely why I am writing this. You see, ’tis the season to be merry, hairy, gay and bright. OK, maybe not hairy – but it IS winter. But I digress. I think we add too much controversy [...]

Oh Deer! An Accidental Way to Feel Grateful

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark November 29, 2010 Random Ponderings

I’m happy to be alive today. Not just alive, but intact. My car isn’t. I had a close encounter with a cloven-hoofed animal late last night. I was actually maintaining a slower speed than normal for me on this stretch of mountain highway because it was so late and I was a bit sleepy, so [...]

Steampunk Fashion Show Extravaganza!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark November 17, 2010 Random Ponderings

Vintage Futurism. Yes! I had been trying, with little success, to describe what, exactly steampunk is when I would exclaim elatedly to friends that I was driving to Oceanside to graciously and enthusiastically accept a last minute invitation to an exhibit and fashion show highlighting this movement in art, jewelry, fashion, film, and expression. Think [...]

Drip Drip…a Few Drops in the Bucket

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 31, 2010 Random Ponderings

A while back I wrote about my Charitable Drip System, where I pledged a penny per (paid) word of my blogging to charity. Well, I am happy to announce – albeit belatedly! – that I sent a check in the amount of $73.98 to The Nature Conservancy. One could snicker at this tawdry amount; but [...]

Exfoliation Nation: Purging Turning into Splurging

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 14, 2010 Random Ponderings

No, I’m not bulimic. I’m purging and using up tangible material things. Lately, this has translated into an ongoing ritual of baths filled with all sorts of lotions and potions collected from shopping sprees, travels and bestowed gifts. I have never before been so exfoliated, hydrated, exhilarated, cleaned, conditioned, primped, and REfoliated! I swear, ’tis [...]
