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
The other day, I sneezed out of nowhere—one of those body-wrenching sneezes that makes you feel like you just worked out a muscle group you didn’t know existed. The odd thing? There wasn’t a pollen-filled breeze or a furball in sight. No dusty corners or blooming flowers. What […]
Yesterday, I had every intention to sit down and hammer out my daily musings. I truly did. But the universe—or more accurately, exhaustion—had other plans. No witty commentary, no profound insights, just sheer fatigue. By the time I realized I hadn’t written, it was too late, and the […]
Pickles, oh pickles—what a misunderstood delight! Once relegated to the cravings of the stereotypical pregnant woman or a sidekick to a deli sandwich, pickled flavor has officially entered the snack hall of fame. Dill-flavored chips, cashews, popcorn—you name it. There’s something about that tangy, briny bite that just […]
Do you ever see wild animals? I love animals—don’t get me wrong. But when they’re on my turf, eyeing my three dogs like they’re sizing up their next meal, it’s a different story. Lately, my backyard has become a wildlife arena, and my poor pups—especially my ten-pound dachshund—are […]
What’s your favorite cartoon? There’s something magical about an ensemble cast that just works. And no, I’m not talking about a perfectly curated ensemble with each character sparkling individually. I’m talking about Scooby-Doo, the ultimate team-up of lovable misfits, none of whom I ever wanted to be, but […]
If Monday is the day we collectively loathe and Friday is the golden child we all wait for, then where does that leave Tuesday? Smack dab in the middle of a week that’s neither fresh nor close to its end. A little lost, a little neglected—Tuesdays have an […]
This past week, I fell deep into the world of espionage. From decoding secret messages to outsmarting nefarious agents, I binged spy movies and shows like The Agency, rewatched several Mission Impossible movies, and dove into The November Man and Beirut. All these high-octane, action-packed stories reminded me […]
What could you do less of? There are a few things I should do less of in life—like eating gummies when I’m supposed to be winding down or starting a new streaming show at midnight (who really needs sleep, right?). But another thing I’ve realized? I need to […]
Ah, Fridays! The sweet anticipation of the weekend ahead after a long, hard week. But what makes this particular Friday different? Well, it started with treating myself to something I’ve been needing for a while—some good old-fashioned pampering. After days of deadlines, emails, and the general grind, I […]
So, apparently, dictionaries have been playing kingmaker for words, declaring some the Word of the Year. And, I’ve been opining on them for the last decade. Why not? For 2024, brace yourselves for “brain rot” and “demure.” The first one I get—because let’s be honest, we’re all a […]
