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

New Orleans is her hometown. Her life. Her energy. She loved to dance to jazz in the clubs that had just a $2 cover. The tourists didn’t know about those places nor would they have the courage to go to those. Well, some had the liquid […]
Back when I was a kid, teenager and college girl, I noted that I did not want to have children. I didn’t want to fall in to that “trap” and be one of “those” women. I mean, I hated how at such a young age I was […]
A few weeks back, we celebrated the glory of film by watching an overlong telecast of the Oscars where celebrities wore mega-priced gowns and suits while reading off scripted jokes or “moving” lines. It was a rather “ho-him” event in my opinion. To each his or her […]
