Are product/service reviews influential to you?
Consider how difficult it would be to make a purchase if no one left a review for any product or service.

France, I believe, will always have a special place in my heart, and I’ll explain why. This was my first trip out of the country in a long time, and it felt liberating. So when I think of Paris, it will always represent freedom to me. I took this trip in October of last year,… Continue reading

Is this what the 30s is about?
First and foremost, where is March going? I feel like I blinked and we’re already knocking on April’s door. I believe my 31st birthday was the most uninteresting birthday ever.

Performative Emotional Distance
Performative emotional distance was a concept I first learned about a few days ago. I was aware of the idea, but I couldn’t explain it in a way that made sense.

I love being a woman, you should too
When I think back on my tomboy days, I cringe. My demeanor and the way I carried myself reflected my masculine side. I was about 10 or 11 years old at the time, and my young and naive self had no idea what it took to be a woman. Being a free woman is a… Continue reading

The Laws Of Power (Part 1)
I recently started reading a book I have always wanted to read titled, “The concise 48 laws of power by Robert Greene” and it has been insightful and mind-opening.

I don’t miss the pain
Waking up at night and experiencing the worst pain in my left arm was no joke. I must have slept in a weird way I thought as I nursed myself back to sleep with hopes that I would feel better in the morning. The pain was worse in the morning. I then remembered that the… Continue reading

When in doubt, travel to Malta
Towards the end of last year, I wanted to travel to somewhere warm but close to London and after a bit of research, Malta was selected as the destination of choice.

Trauma triggers
