What is love? Baby don't hurt me
On my nine hour flight from Miami to Paris to visit my amorcito, I had A LOT of time for reflection. I giggled as I thought about all the slime balls and egomaniacs I dated in the past. It was a mental bloopers video. I couldn't help but laugh at all the mistakes that led me to where I am now, feeling my best in a healthy, positive relationship. But boy how my bloopers video goes on forever...You name the red flag, I ignored it. Unhealthy dynamics? Been there, done that.When I first started…See More
"I got all of my HPV vaccinations and am happy to have done so. It is important to look out for your health. Vaccinations save lives. Think measles, mumps, rubella, polio--these diseases have all been prevented with vaccines. Yet in some places these…"
Savvy shopping, happy living!
As the holidays approach, we are bombarded with ads about all the new and wonderful things we can buy. Marketers know how to appeal to our senses. We live in a society where we are taught that exchanging money for goods feels really, really great. Have you noticed how stores play cool music, use cute bags and packaging, and place unnecessary items right in your line of vision or at check out to make you consider buying what you were not intending? Did you really need that extra nail…See More
"It is her body and her choice, and as a friend your place is to support her, whatever decision she makes. If it is not your pregnancy, it is not your decision."
"Crossfit is becoming more and more popular-I have heard, however, that it is pretty bad for your body and joints in the long term, too much impact…have you heard that too? Im curious to know..."
Happiness is Hard Work!
Growing up, mi mama would always tell me that only I can make myself happy. She would say "to be sad and upset is easy. To be happy is very constant, hard work." As a teenager prone to drama and mood swings, I was not always particularly good at following her advice. Break-ups were epic sagas deserving of an original Lifetime movie script, friendship troubles were greek tragedies, and school was a torture chamber. I could have made things a lot easier for myself following her advice. She was…See More

"Also, do not forget to add a "skills" section-this can include any relevant skills, such as languages (are you bilingual?), computer and software competency, html, cpr (if relevant) etc."
"I really appreciate this post! I felt really nervous about eating alone when I was at school but sometimes that is exactly what you need. Thanks for encouraging us to be our own best company! "
"I definitely agree for having some "me" time. My college has several dining halls but somehow they always get full. If there aren't any empty seats I usually say in my head "time to make a new friend" and I ask a person…"
Alone, but not lonely
Last week, I experienced for the first time in my college career, the "solo dinner." My college has just one cafeteria, an administrative effort to facilitate a sense of community by breaking bread under one roof. Between 430 and 8pm, students flock to fill up on the less than filling, mediocre food that constitutes a college meal. Texts are sent all day long, confirming lunch and dinner plans. This particular day, I did not feel like turning dinner into a social event. I did not want to…See More
"It is amazing how the dieting industry is so pervasive. It is no coincidence that "resize your thighs" was probably fit in between advertisements for different supplements, work out clothes and accessories, gym adverts, etc (this is based…"
"Hello!
As someone who has benefited from the very generous scholarships of a private university, I want to share tips on how to get a very valuable (and very expensive) education, free of charge. It is great to be paid to go to an amazing school!
