It’s been just over 4 months since Mister and I embarked on the marital journey. It’s funny because it doesn’t seem much different than before and people continually ask, “How’s married life?” And I reply, “Same as real life?” It’s funny how little marriage changes reality, and the weird ways in which it does. I [...]
The Scenario: You’re starting to panic a little bit. It seems like you’ve been single FOR-EV-ER, and you’re starting to think you might be doomed to a life of celibacy, or a life of un-fulfilling dates with men who don’t do it for you. You start to notice your thoughts as you step up to [...]
This weekend, mortality sort of slapped me right in the face. It reminded me how important it is to take a step back from the rush and bustle and really invest some quality time in you, and in your loved ones. In the grand scheme of things, our lives seem so fleeting. While it’s important [...]

I did some reading recently on trust because it seems to me that a lot of people let others walk all over them. It led me to wonder – how do you know someone is worth trusting and worth getting close to? If you trust those around you, will you ultimately be walked upon? Are [...]
I have this friend who’s been sort of down for the past little while since a sort of rocky breakup. I was talking to this person about the little personal speedbump they’ve hit and I started to think about what it’s like to be in that situation. I know that feeling of needing someone there, [...]
I bought a UK Vogue while I was over for good reads on the tube and was immediately struck by an article, written by Alex Blimes (a guy – d’accord! and the director of “GQ”) about the amount of cattiness that exists between women. The article is incredibly relevant in a time where we’re seeing [...]
