Serious question — am I the only one not really feeling this new year vibe?! With as much as I wish to proclaim, “2018 will be my year!” Deep down I know not to hold my breath. As a matter of fact, I actually plan to breathe more. Rather than suffocating myself with the pressure of […]

Airplanes are a crazy kind of situation, you’re neither in the place you’ve been, nor in the place you’re going.

Ever since I was a mini mermaid, I’ve had a tiny obsession with spaghetti. No joke, it was the dinner of choice for all my childhood birthday parties. Every year I celebrated at The Spaghetti Factory slurpin’ up all that meaty goodness and getting drunk off Shirley Temples. Pasta makes my mini mermaid heart happy, […]
