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

Scale: There is always something bigger We are in the midst of a brutal winter and supposedly this afternoon will be the coldest temperature yet of this season. However, of course, it is winter. Shouldn’t we expect cold, frigid temperatures and buckets of snow? Seems people were perhaps […]
What to do when your friend is dating a douche like Kanye West I woke up jazzed this morning. I am getting things done but don’t feel harried. I am about to had out and get a hair cut with a new hairstylist that I am getting good […]
