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!

Cheers

Seven ways to avoid wrinkles including staying away from annoying people The humidity that lies in the air is giving my hair a longstanding day in and day out freak out. The pollen count is pounding my sinuses and I am on my second round of antibiotics. Sigh. […]
My glutes and mind are longing for a walk on the beach Many find comfort in the hot salty aired beach embedding their toes into the granular sand streams. Many love to get golden with the sunblock-filled sweat dripping slowly from the body. I, do not enjoy the […]
