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
What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why? I’ve learned something about myself over the years. For all my spontaneity, sass, and willingness to leap before looking, the hardest decisions I’ve ever made all come down to one thing: Leaving. Not staying.Not choosing.But leaving. Every major […]
It’s that time of year again. It’s the holiday shopping season when the internet comes alive with a blizzard of “Top 25 Gifts for…” lists. Top 25 gifts for teenagers.Top 25 gifts for the guy who has everything.Top 25 gifts for coworkers you barely tolerate.Top 25 gifts for […]
From TikTok to Instagram Reels to YouTube Shorts and even LinkedIn (the land of earnest humblebrags), short-form video content has swallowed the internet whole.

There’s always that family member who takes the holidays a little too far. You know who I mean The one who disappears midway through dessert only to be found later curled up in the guest bathroom, cuddling a hand towel like it’s a long-lost lover. Well, this year, […]
I don’t know about you, but I used to look forward, with a level of geeky anticipation usually reserved for meteor showers and free samples at Costco, to the unveiling of the Word of the Year. It was like a linguistic holiday. A celebration of vocabulary! A moment […]
Are you more of a night or morning person? I have spent my whole adult life proudly identifying as a morning person. Capital M, capital P. One of those people who pops up at 5 a.m. like a caffeinated meerkat. I cook breakfast. I answer emails. I’m on […]
Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays? Some families measure time in holidays or seasons. Mine?We measure it in rice cycles. There is no event, meaning no holiday, no random Tuesday, no meteorological anomaly, that escapes the gravitational pull of “un arrocito”. Rice […]
Lately, I’ve been staring at the universe the way some people stare into the fridge at midnight. I’ve been hoping something magnificent will reveal itself and explain my life choices. And honestly? The universe has been delivering. Big time. The other day I was obsessed with tryptophan from […]
There are moments when the universe taps you gently on the shoulder and says, “Hey… look up.”Unfortunately, most of us are too busy digesting turkey, dodging family drama like it’s live combat, or pretending that the stuffing didn’t defeat us in round three. But the cosmos, in all […]
Somewhere between my third slice of pie and my third dog stepping on my stomach, I read the wildest thing. Scientists found tryptophan, the same sleepy amino acid we blame for our Thanksgiving couch comas, on Bennu. That is a small asteroid that swings by Earth every six […]
