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
“I thought of making myself a beautiful wooden marionette. It must be wonderful—one that can dance, fence, and turn somersaults.” Now that is a quote that gets my mind spinning. I recently heard it while watching an episode of Grimm, and it struck me with its whimsical, slightly […]
So, here we are again. Monday is looming large, and I’m left wondering: Where did the weekend go? I swear I just blinked, and poof—it disappeared like one of those magic tricks where you’re convinced the magician has some sort of time-bending power. But no, it’s just me, […]
“We shall see the crumbs of bread, and they will show us our way home again.” I read that quote at the beginning of an episode of Grimm recently, and for some reason, it hit me with a wave of nostalgia. For what? I’m not entirely sure. There’s […]
I’ve been seeing it everywhere—this idea that we need to “touch grass.” It’s become a phrase, a movement, a gentle (or sometimes not so gentle) nudge to break away from our screens and reconnect with nature. Apparently, we’re all so stuck in our digital bubbles that the idea […]
Here I go again. My wacky news post of the week. I just have to. I need to. The world has been a whirlwind lately, with everything feeling like it’s spinning faster than a carousel on caffeine. Between global news headlines that make my head spin and personal […]
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—I need a vacation, STAT! Seriously, I’ve been talking about it for what feels like ages, dropping hints like confetti at a parade, yet somehow I’m still here… at my desk… not sipping a fruity drink on a beach or […]
Here we are, on the cusp of spring, yet winter’s icy grip just won’t let go. I find myself in that strange in-between season where the longing for warmth and color seeps into every part of my day. You know the feeling — that deep desire to just […]
Monday mornings tend to have us daydreaming, right? Today, I found myself fixated on black-billed magpies. Yes, magpies! These little birds are seriously underrated. Not only are they drop-dead gorgeous with their sleek black-and-white tuxedo look, but they’re social geniuses. They can recognize themselves in the mirror (let […]
This past Sunday, I caught the tail end of an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning about movies and the elusive cinematic experience. The interviewee was discussing the shift in how we consume films—people are now averaging two movie theater visits a year, but they’re watching around seven […]
I recently stumbled upon an article, courtesy of a TikTok deep dive (don’t judge), that featured an interview with Friends star Matt LeBlanc. Now, while Joey Tribbiani might have been all about pizza and asking “How you doin’?”, it turns out real-life Matt is all about…doing nothing. And […]
