‘The Bachelor’ Season 20, Episode 3: Hard Balls, Fat Toes, & Two-Faced Triflin’ Hoes [SIC]

Welcome, Bachelor Babies, to week three of The Bachelor: Ben Is Sweet!  And yes, I purposefully spelled the title of this recap wrong because I wanted to refer to a garden tool that won’t stop digging as opposed to a female prostitute, because I don’t like to refer to other women like that and so I’m […]

No Filter.

This year, I made an inside resolution to post more Instagram selfies in 2016. I found myself loving the selfies everyone else posted of themselves and craving for more, but cringing when it came to the thought of actually doing it myself. First: I hate the word “selfie”. Second, I always feel dumb and a […]

Magic.

A few years ago, I collaborated with my nerd pal Jeremy on creating a series of “Meditations For Villains” – we wanted them to be fun and camp, and I REALLY wanted the majority of them to feature Jareth, David Bowie’s character in the movie “Labyrinth.” His character in that movie had lit my imagination […]

‘The Bachelor’, Season 20, Episode 1: Unicorns, Roses, & Lace!

2016.

May this new year be filled with more winged travel, pink and purple skies, snow-covered mountaintops, dreamy days at the coast, and inspirational quotes by Justin Bieber.

Lucky enough.

In 2015 I was lucky enough to: * meet my goal of reading 100 books (some of which I enjoyed)* score my very first paycheck for a contributing writer piece* stand on the beaches of both coasts* go on a week-long vacation to Maine with my family* take my very first train ride (and through […]

Best Books of 2015

In 2015, I set my goal for the Goodreads Reading Challenge at 100 books. (To my delight and surprise, I actually ended up reading 102 books) These were my favorites: 1) SHOTGUN LOVESONGS by Nikolas Butler  Oh man… I knew after reading the first five pages that this was going to become one of my all-time favorite books, […]
