I’m not rooting for any particular team, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not excited for this historic matchup! Today is Super Bowl Sunday, a day (and for some people, the day after is included!) that has basically amounted to a holiday in the United States! As an American, I love how purely and truly …

What do new Barbies have to do with me?
Fact: kids love toys. All toys. My favorite the I was growing up? Hands down, the Power Rangers. I’m pretty stoked there’s a new Power Rangers moving coming out next year, too. But let’s stay on topic. Toys. They help pass the time, mentally stimulate, and provide a sense of attachment. Playing with them is important, …
Chelsea Does: Endorsed.
A lot of people I know take themselves too seriously. Even if we are hard workers, young professionals, aspiring students, doesn’t there come a point where we can make fun of ourselves? Self-depricating humor is okay, but comedy is even better. That’s why I really, really enjoy Chelsea Handler.

(I almost never blog about things immediately – I let my ideas marinate. Not this time. That’s how serious this is). If you’re not familiar …
Veteran’s Day.
I wanted to take a moment to write about the fact that today is Veteran’s Day here in the states. Veteran’s Day is always observed on November 11th – one of few U.S. holidays to be observed on such a particular date as opposed to the “the third Thursday” or the “second Tuesday” of a month. …
The Sports Equinox.
Anyone that knows me well knows that I’m a big sports fan. Anyone that knows me very well knows that the season of fall is basically my favorite, and for that very reason. Two of my favorite sports are football and basketball – and they are at full speed come September! I have spent and …
