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
List your top 5 grocery store items. Every week, like clockwork, I sit down to order groceries. Because honestly, the thought of actually going to the store after a long week of work, school runs, and commuting is…well, let’s just say it’s a hard pass. So, I click […]
Today marks the shortest day of the year, and as if Mother Nature herself was in on the cosmic joke, it snowed last night. Not just a light dusting either, but enough to blanket the world in that hushed, pristine silence that almost forces you to stop and […]
What skills or lessons have you learned recently? As a Gen Xer, I’ve realized there’s value in staying current on music trends, not just for nostalgia’s sake, but for practical reasons, too. Whether I’m chatting with my son, keeping up with younger colleagues, or just needing a fun […]
What cities do you want to visit? I’m a wanderer who dreams of the seas, Of Lisbon’s bright winds and Dakar’s cool breeze. From Montevideo’s shores to Rio’s grand skies, I’ll wander the globe, my heart full of sighs. To Dubrovnik’s old streets, I’ll eagerly roam, Quito’s high […]
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? Funny how life works. This time last year, I had a clear vision of what today would look like. I really did. Everyone told me that I could coadt this year because I had been so awesome. I […]
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 […]
