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 [...]

The Myth of Time “Invested”
I am one of those people that always have a time frame. I love having my planner and keeping track of everything I have to do. Type A is kind of an understatement. I like routine and I like knowing what my plan is. Even for things like writing and potting I write down a [...]
Meet me again
I consider myself having started late, though I guess if you ask any 20 something year old they will think they are on the right track until they bypass their 20’s. My life is far from what I expected it to be. I thought that I had a pretty good idea of what I was [...]
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.

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. [...]

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 [...]
An Ode to Writing Prompts
Free writing and journaling is one of the things that I love the most in life because it sparks my creativity and makes me think outside of the box. Sometimes I know that I will fill up five to ten pages hand written...having no idea what I'm writing. But that's the entire beauty of a [...]
Skin Care Beyond Masks
One of the things that people have been commenting on as I get older is how young I look because of my skin/ who good my skin looks and that they are surprised by my age because of it. I seldom actually get guessed for my actual age. I am only 4 foot 11 inches [...]
Five Pillars of Creativity
Creativity is not something that comes easily, as many artists and creatives will tell you. It is rare that a creator, be it a painter, a writer or anything else is just constantly bubbling with ideas that can actually be transformed into something physical. I came up against the dreaded writer's block a lot including [...]
