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.

Whimsy in a bottle: Rock concerts, cocktails and slides Because of the nature of work lately, I was not able to go on holiday vacation this past season. I had a little bit of a staycation during December but I still somehow managed to work. Ok. Let me […]
A new pink sensation for this New York power girl Back in my college days, every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I had a ritual. I would do what the so-called BPs (beautiful People) did on college nights. I would get all glammed up, put on my clunky high […]
