Remember when I went to Lassen and Mount Shasta I was saying, this is the last place in California I wanted to visit? Well apparently, I was wrong! My friend had told me about this place called Julian, CA, an historic town that was part of the Gold Rush era and is known for their [...]
So I have been debating whether or not to blog about my experience of going to a psychic a few weeks ago, but I decided, hey, what have I got to lose, right? I think everyone at one point in their lives wonder if the supernatural/spiritual world really does exist. I started to become somewhat [...]
Hi guys! So it has almost been a week since I started my online Master of Arts in Communication program at Arizona State University, my dream school, and I am absolutely loving it! This is so much better than when I got my undergraduate degree because I can study something I actually enjoy and love the [...]
Hi guys! So today, Aug. 16, 2020 is a very important and special day for me: it is my 10 year anniversary of living in Southern California. I've gotten asked in the weeks leading up to my anniversary how it feels to be living in California these days. It's so interesting, because when I first [...]
Hi guys, I hope you are all staying safe and well during this COVID-19 pandemic! I read and hear about so many people complaining about not being able to do what they once did before the pandemic, so I wanted to share some inspiring, positive ways of how I have taken advantage of this time! [...]

This trip to Sedona was my yearly birthday trip, but weeks earlier. Italy and Greece was supposed to be planned for my 40th, but due to COVID-19, even as I sit here and type, traveling to Europe still has not been lifted. Despite COVID-19, I needed this trip because I was exhausted from everything: the [...]
Hi guys, I hope you are all practicing social distancing during this COVID-19 crisis. Since I live in California, as of last week the state has issued a Safer at Home order. It is not a “lockdown.” We are still allowed to go to essential businesses such as grocery stores, pharmacies, banks and even order [...]
For my annual President's Day Weekend getaway, I decided to become one with nature: Redwood National Park. This was also the last of my "bucket list" items to visit for the state of California, so I am officially excited to say that I have seen most of the state and really the last place I have [...]
As we age, we all get that double chin. For me, mine is slight, but it's driving me crazy. I wanted to try something that was natural and safe, so for Christmas, I asked my parents for a Gua Sha (pronounced "gwa sha") tool to help improve circulation on my face, reduce inflammation and to [...]
