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
Guess what I did on Black Friday? Absolutely nothing. No midnight online shopping sprees, no standing in line for hours for the latest gadget, not even a click on “add to cart.” And you know what? It felt pretty awesome. It wasn’t some grand plan to defy consumerism […]
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! You ever feel like Thanksgiving just sneaks up on you? One minute, you’re trying to catch the last bits of summer, and the next thing you know, you’re knee-deep in a grocery store aisle full of pumpkin everything and wondering how you’re supposed to roast […]
Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays? Thanksgiving at my childhood table was a beautiful fusion of flavors and traditions that would make any Puerto Rican abuela proud.

Ever had one of those days where something just feels… off? Like maybe, just maybe, there’s a glitch in the matrix? I’m not talking about seeing black cats cross your path twice (although that would be pretty nerve-wracking). I’m talking about those tiny, weird moments where life seems […]
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why? January used to be one of my favored months. It held the promise of new beginnings, fresh starts, and the excitement of a year brimming with possibility. There was something about the crisp, cold air and the blank slate of […]
It’s Friday night, and I’m pondering one of life’s great mysteries: where in the world is my favorite coffee mug? You know, the one with the chipped handle that has somehow become a part of my identity? The one that seems to have more mileage than my gym […]
There’s a fine line between maintaining your privacy and being pushed to a point where you feel you have no choice but to share deeply personal things. We’re told time and again that we don’t owe anyone our private stories—be it a medical condition, a death, or anything […]
Do you trust your instinct? I’ve always been one to trust my gut. It’s gotten me through life pretty well so far. I mean, aside from those occasional moments when I’ve eaten a bit too much ice cream or indulged in a curry binge—my gut’s only good for […]
