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
What could you do less of? It’s the holidays, and let me be clear. I love the holidays. Gift-giving is my love language, my cardio, my seasonal sport. I’ll binge Hallmark movies like they’re intellectual cinema, even though I’m not exactly a “hug it out” kind of gal. […]
Some days I wake up, skim a few “news” articles (and I’m using the term as loosely) and I’m greeted with a new trend. Apparently, women are ditching their pants. Lauren Sánchez. Sabrina Carpenter. Miley Cyrus. Wait. She ever wore pants? A whole parade of famous folks are […]
This morning I realized something unsettling. My shadow knows all my secret secrets. Every. Single. One. It trails me like an unpaid intern with questionable boundaries, hovering over me on sidewalks and office walls, soaking up all the light and leaving me blinking like, “Really? You couldn’t share […]
What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why? I’ve learned something about myself over the years. For all my spontaneity, sass, and willingness to leap before looking, the hardest decisions I’ve ever made all come down to one thing: Leaving. Not staying.Not choosing.But leaving. Every major […]

From TikTok to Instagram Reels to YouTube Shorts and even LinkedIn (the land of earnest humblebrags), short-form video content has swallowed the internet whole. Everywhere you scroll, someone is pointing, dancing, lip-syncing, or telling you “five things you’re doing wrong with your life” in 23 seconds or less. […]
There’s always that family member who takes the holidays a little too far. You know who I mean The one who disappears midway through dessert only to be found later curled up in the guest bathroom, cuddling a hand towel like it’s a long-lost lover. Well, this year, […]
I don’t know about you, but I used to look forward, with a level of geeky anticipation usually reserved for meteor showers and free samples at Costco, to the unveiling of the Word of the Year. It was like a linguistic holiday. A celebration of vocabulary! A moment […]
Are you more of a night or morning person? I have spent my whole adult life proudly identifying as a morning person. Capital M, capital P. One of those people who pops up at 5 a.m. like a caffeinated meerkat. I cook breakfast. I answer emails. I’m on […]
Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays? Some families measure time in holidays or seasons. Mine?We measure it in rice cycles. There is no event, meaning no holiday, no random Tuesday, no meteorological anomaly, that escapes the gravitational pull of “un arrocito”. Rice […]
