I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.
Cheers

For nearly a decade, I have written a post every day until one day I didn’t. I felt horribly about missing a day. Then I went back to writing every day, until one day I didn’t. Then, that routine happened a few more times. This week, I think […]
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? Childhood food items are not on grand on my list of childhood memories. But, what I remember is that I loved cereal. I even loved it in early adulthood. Cereal made for some great dinners after for […]
