I have always defined myself by my “Guilty pleasures”. Being a nerd before nerds were main stream and before literally every comic book and movie was refranchised and sold to studios it was kind of essential. Starwars was how my dad learned german because he knew literally every single line. We had my uncle tape [...]

How to be an artists when you didn’t feel artistic
Being artistic is…hard. Admitting that I’m artistic is harder. I come from from a family of highly talented people. My brother works for Lucas Films, my cousin is a fashion guru and gothic goddess, my other cousin is a baker that can decorate a cupcake and make you think that it's art of weed (Whichever [...]
Don’t ‘Manifest’ this year
Why Manifesting and the Trends around it are utter Bull Shit Before you go around saying that I’m a negative person, I’m really not. Of course I believe in energies and being positive but the currents trends around the word “manifesting” is almost as nauseating as the word “Tribe”. I’m not going to talk about [...]
Learning to be Alone. NOT Lonely
I am a strange kind of person. I am pretty social when I am around people. I like making people laugh and being with people but I also like being alone. I should change that. I need to be alone sometimes. I don’t like being around people constantly and if I’m around a group for [...]

What is the Evil Eye?
You know what I'm talking about. The three blue circles are probably something that you have seen in a lot of beads and jewelry. I wear this symbol a lot actually. It is a meaningful symbol both because of where my family is from (Calabraia Italy) and because I am a woman. Both of the [...]
Things to look out for in a job interview
When looking at interview things there are a million words that you should say (And shouldn’t say) in a job interview. I have probably read 99% of them. I like to be prepared after all and since I look young, I always try to take the extra step to sound experienced and professional because…well, I [...]
How to be creative AND productive
These two are not mutually exclusive! Start with Passion. A lot of people view themselves as ‘artists’ in terms of making their living from art. But let’s be real, in our modern world how realistic is that? I purposefully got an office job because cooking all the time was creatively draining, along with physically draining. [...]
Things I Want to Keep Going with that I Learned in Lockdown
There were obviously things about quarantine that were horrible…and still are because being frank, we aren’t done with the Pandemic yet. But there were a few things that I started doing during quarantine that I might not have given myself time to do or wouldn’t have tried if we didn’t have to pump the brakes [...]
