Over Thanksgiving this happened to my car: And I subsequently went into a meltdown that probably looked something like this: You see my car is pretty precious to me. Not because I’m a crazy car person (that’s cats!), but because it’s the first and only thing that’s ever been “mine.” I don’t have an apartment... Continue Reading →
The Mindy Project Just Got Too Real
This season on The Mindy Project has been interesting. First, it moved to Hulu which has caused logistics problems for people, but hey! It’s better than being canceled! And then we had the heroine/main character pregnant which is usually a sad plot device used to save the show because EVERYONE is interested in pregnant people,... Continue Reading →
Sometimes It’s Hard to Be Thankful
From the moment you start recovering from your candy coma after Halloween, the Season of Thanksgiving begins. And it doesn’t end until January 2nd. For most, this should be a good thing, right? Who couldn’t use a little extra thankfulness and gratitude in their life? But for me, this time I tend to feel a... Continue Reading →
My Love/Hate Relationship with Social Media (Especially After the Paris Attacks)
I’ve been feeling especially on edge recently whenever I go online. And let’s be honest, is there ever really a time when we’re not somehow digitally connected all day long anymore? I always cringe when I look at the “Trending” section on the side of Facebook because it’s likely to be some horrific tragedy or... Continue Reading →
Being True to Yourself
I put a video about boobs out in October on my YouTube channel. My intention was to remind viewers to love yourself, your body, your boobs just the way they are! (A common theme among my videos). But what a few viewers took away was that I'm judgmental and close-minded about beauty and plastic surgery.... Continue Reading →
The Three Trains of Life
The president of my company made an analogy recently that really clicked with me and the kind of pressures I’m currently undergoing. He was praising our business at a fall luncheon/celebration for getting through all of our fall events with even less staff than ever, but it’s true on a personal level as well. He...

How to Have Fun at Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream When You Hate Being Scared!
The ghosts and goblins have come out to haunt Busch Gardens at this year’s Howl-O-Scream, and despite my aversion to Halloween horrors, I was there to revel in the mayhem and attempt to escape alive! (Obviously, since I’m writing this post, I succeeded!) I love Howl-O-Scream. I don’t like scary things or haunted houses... Continue Reading →
Halloween: Costume vs. Cosplay
It’s October and that means Halloween! And what does Halloween entail? Costumes! Or is it cosplay? That’s my current dilemma. With the ever-growing popularity of cosplaying now because of various fan-centric conventions like Comic-Con and the general rise in respect for “Fandoms,” when thinking of a fun costume for Halloween, I feel like I’m not...

Child-Free But Not a Child-Hater
I feel like I’ve discussed this topic a lot on the blog, and I wish it wasn’t the case. It’s not that I’m trying to beat a dead horse or anything, but unfortunately, in the world we live in, I can’t express my desire to have a future without children in a nonchalant way like... Continue Reading →
Why You Shouldn’t Cancel a TV Show About Cancer
I unwillingly and accidentally became a Chasing Life fan. ABC Family worked their scheduling magic and ran Chasing Life’s freshman season after my favorite network show Pretty Little Liars—a surefire way to get someone hooked. While I didn’t need any more shows to add to my already burgeoning watch-list, I couldn’t help but love the... Continue Reading →
