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.

I am so stressed out at the moment that I am about to go on a week-long binge. Actually it may be shorter than a week. Either way I am about to binge. I just figured out I have less than 4 weeks to plan a holiday […]
I have a random bit for today. Just this past week, someone was talking about how much they hated San Francisco. Having lived in the Bay Area three times and having left it three times, I get what there is to not like about San Francisco. Gentrification is […]
