Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it? People love to ask about travel. Where have you been? What’s your favorite city? What country changed you? This is usually followed by a mental highlight reel of airports, shoes kicked off, and that one time […]
What is something others do that sparks your admiration? I’ll admit something mildly scandalous (in the psychological sense, not the TMZ sense). I am deeply, profoundly envious of people who are oblivious. Yes, the blissfully unbothered, the cheerfully unaware, the folks who stroll through life as if chaos […]
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? This past year wasn’t exactly sprinkled with fairy dust or wrapped in a giant red bow. It was more like one of those surprise grab bags where you reach in hoping for chocolate and instead […]
What could you do less of? It’s the holidays, and let me be clear. I love the holidays. Gift-giving is my love language, my cardio, my seasonal sport. I’ll binge Hallmark movies like they’re intellectual cinema, even though I’m not exactly a “hug it out” kind of gal. […]
Some days I wake up, skim a few “news” articles (and I’m using the term as loosely) and I’m greeted with a new trend. Apparently, women are ditching their pants. Lauren Sánchez. Sabrina Carpenter. Miley Cyrus. Wait. She ever wore pants? A whole parade of famous folks are […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
