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
This year I flew more than 40,000 miles. I flew countless of flights and was delayed more times than I can count or remember. This year, started using waze (the gps app) in order to figure out how to get around Los Angeles in a quicker manner. By […]
Just recently, thre Maltese Falcon was trending on twitter as a new set of people come to appreciate this gem of an old film. I love film noirs and Maltese Falcon is one such film. One of the best things about film noirs are the “Macguffins”, essentially objects […]

I have to admit to something. I did not watch Star Wars as a kid when it first came out. I actually didn’t watch Star Wars (any of the three original ones) until I was in college. I also had never seen Its a Wonderful Life until I […]
A few years ago, I used to travel a ton for work. One of the places I had to go to, at least once a year, was Puerto Rico. My Spanish was not the greatest but I certainly tried my best to communicate and get my points […]
Happiness is a great feeling to experience. That goes without saying. We live experience happiness and grow because of sadness. Or so I think that is what that movie Inside Out was trying to tell us as a whole. Sadness is a key experience of our lives. Children […]
Growing up in the South Bronx I was very familiar with the sounds of music late, late into the night. And I do not mean yodeling with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. Instead, there was salsa, merengue and freestyle music blasting into the night on a boom box. Ah, […]
When I was a kid, one of my nicknames besides Mimi was “chatterbox”. I talked and talked. I was an only child until the age of nine. I was used to being the center of attention and to just talking up a storm just about anything. I read […]
