I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? Funny how life works. This time last year, I had a clear vision of what today would look like. I really did. Everyone told me that I could coadt this year because I had been so awesome. I […]
The other day, I sneezed out of nowhere—one of those body-wrenching sneezes that makes you feel like you just worked out a muscle group you didn’t know existed. The odd thing? There wasn’t a pollen-filled breeze or a furball in sight. No dusty corners or blooming flowers. What […]
Yesterday, I had every intention to sit down and hammer out my daily musings. I truly did. But the universe—or more accurately, exhaustion—had other plans. No witty commentary, no profound insights, just sheer fatigue. By the time I realized I hadn’t written, it was too late, and the […]
Pickles, oh pickles—what a misunderstood delight! Once relegated to the cravings of the stereotypical pregnant woman or a sidekick to a deli sandwich, pickled flavor has officially entered the snack hall of fame. Dill-flavored chips, cashews, popcorn—you name it. There’s something about that tangy, briny bite that just […]
Do you ever see wild animals? I love animals—don’t get me wrong. But when they’re on my turf, eyeing my three dogs like they’re sizing up their next meal, it’s a different story. Lately, my backyard has become a wildlife arena, and my poor pups—especially my ten-pound dachshund—are […]
What’s your favorite cartoon? There’s something magical about an ensemble cast that just works. And no, I’m not talking about a perfectly curated ensemble with each character sparkling individually. I’m talking about Scooby-Doo, the ultimate team-up of lovable misfits, none of whom I ever wanted to be, but […]
If Monday is the day we collectively loathe and Friday is the golden child we all wait for, then where does that leave Tuesday? Smack dab in the middle of a week that’s neither fresh nor close to its end. A little lost, a little neglected—Tuesdays have an […]
This past week, I fell deep into the world of espionage. From decoding secret messages to outsmarting nefarious agents, I binged spy movies and shows like The Agency, rewatched several Mission Impossible movies, and dove into The November Man and Beirut. All these high-octane, action-packed stories reminded me […]
What could you do less of? There are a few things I should do less of in life—like eating gummies when I’m supposed to be winding down or starting a new streaming show at midnight (who really needs sleep, right?). But another thing I’ve realized? I need to […]
Ah, Fridays! The sweet anticipation of the weekend ahead after a long, hard week. But what makes this particular Friday different? Well, it started with treating myself to something I’ve been needing for a while—some good old-fashioned pampering. After days of deadlines, emails, and the general grind, I […]
