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 have a long-standing love affair with words. Some people collect stamps, others collect coins, and I collect words. But not just any words—those esoteric ones that most people might only encounter while playing Scrabble or reading a philosopher’s manifesto. My husband loved to throw around obscure terms […]
We’ve all had that moment, right? The sweet taste of victory, no matter how big or small. Maybe it was landing the big promotion, winning a tennis match, or—like me—scoring a petty little triumph that no one else will ever care about. But here I am, two days […]
So, the Razzie nominations are out, and I have to confess something a little wild: I’ve actually seen some of these dumpster fire films. Yes, the ones that were so bad they were honored with a Razzie nod. And yet, I haven’t watched a single Oscar-nominated movie this […]
Ah, time. That pesky little construct we think we have nailed down. We carry around our watches, mark our calendars, and keep ourselves beholden to schedules, all the while believing time is this rigid, immovable force. But it’s not, is it? It’s like trying to hold sand in […]
“Spirits” by The Strumbellas caught my ear this morning as I shuffled through my Monday commute, and as I hummed along, I started thinking about the other kind of spirits — the ones in my head. No, not the ghostly kind, but the relentless scripts that run circles […]
It happened. The unthinkable. The moment I didn’t know I was dreading. My beloved rice cooker—the one that’s been with me for ten solid years, the unsung hero of so many meals—gave up on me this weekend. Out of nowhere. No warning. Just…done. I didn’t see it coming. […]
You know that feeling when you’re buzzing with energy but have no idea what to do with it? Like you’re a hamster on a wheel, except the wheel is spinning in a dozen directions, and no matter what, you’re not getting anywhere? Yeah, that’s me today. I need […]
You ever hear a phrase so often it starts to sound like gospel, even though you’ve got zero personal experience with whatever the heck they’re talking about? Yeah, me too. “That’s what they say, I wouldn’t know” has become a regular part of my inner (and outer) dialogue […]
What is your favorite drink? As a kid, there were few things I loved more than Ovaltine. Yep, that malty, chocolatey goodness was my jam. I’d sip it like it was the elixir of the gods, convinced that it was fueling my brainpower and possibly even making me […]
I’m a sucker for a good online window-shopping session. There’s something soothing about scrolling through endless images of stuff I don’t need but might convince myself I need in that exact moment. It’s a ritual, really. A self-care routine of “add to cart” followed by the sudden wave […]
