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
Lately, I’ve been staring at the universe the way some people stare into the fridge at midnight. I’ve been hoping something magnificent will reveal itself and explain my life choices. And honestly? The universe has been delivering. Big time. The other day I was obsessed with tryptophan from […]
There are moments when the universe taps you gently on the shoulder and says, “Hey… look up.”Unfortunately, most of us are too busy digesting turkey, dodging family drama like it’s live combat, or pretending that the stuffing didn’t defeat us in round three. But the cosmos, in all […]
Somewhere between my third slice of pie and my third dog stepping on my stomach, I read the wildest thing. Scientists found tryptophan, the same sleepy amino acid we blame for our Thanksgiving couch comas, on Bennu. That is a small asteroid that swings by Earth every six […]
There should really be a word in the English language for that exact moment on Thanksgiving when you realize with both pride and mild horror that you’ve taken one bite too many. You know the moment. We all do. That moment when the fork pauses mid-air. A button […]
What are your favorite animals? So apparently, while I’m over here trying to remember where I put my keys and my motivation, a female wild wolf on the central coast of British Columbia has decided to outdo all of us. She was caught on camera pulling a crab […]
Who are your current most favorite people? Let’s get one thing out of the way. I could absolutely say my favorite person right now is the Pope. He’s cool, he’s chill, and honestly both the current pope and the last one had that quiet “I see the absurdity […]
Some people wake up to coffee. I wake up to headlines about three lab monkeys escaping from a crashed transport truck in Mississippi. Because apparently the universe flipped open its old pandemic screenplay binder and said, “Let’s workshop a new pilot.” I mean three lab monkeys.Running loose. In […]
I woke up Sunday morning to the familiar flicker-flash of my lights going out. Just boop. Total darkness. Then boop the lights came back on like nothing happened. At this point, Con Edison and I are in a toxic relationship. They gaslight me. Literally. But instead of spiraling […]
I have a confession that would make any dermatologist sigh deeply: I do not care for the cold. Actually, let’s be real. I straight-up wage war with the cold. When that first icy breeze hits in November, my skin immediately files an HR complaint. I get hives. Rashes. […]
There are certain places on Earth where time has no meaning. The Bermuda Triangle. Black holes. And the DMV. I learned this again the hard way this week. Now, I wasn’t new to the DMV rodeo. Just a few years ago I strutted in with an online appointment, […]
