2020: So This is What You Meant When You Said You're Spent
“So this is what you meant when you said you’re spent”, I heard blazing from my Spotify, randomly, the other day; a lyric from Imagine Dragons’ - “It’s Time”, and it finally put the exact words to the feeling I’ve been having for 6…
Like, How Dense?
I read something last week. “The spread of Covid-19 is based on two factors: 1. How dense the population is. 2. How dense the population is.” And that’s my gateway into my second subject in the Quarantine Series. PEOPLE. I don’t know if you figured this out by now but this…
Quarantine & K(Ch)ill
It would be an understatement of the century to say I have never imagined I would be writing something like this, in my lifetime. I’m sure you share the sentiment, and you’re as confused, pissed, anxious, tired, and blindsided as I am. As everyone is. We all planned something epic for…
Women Vs. Women's Day
I wrote an article about Meghan Markle a few days ago, Mexit: A Love Story. You guessed it, I think the Sussexes leaving the Royal Family is actually a prime-time love story. I was planning a follow-up article on the couple soon; after all those two will be a think-piece, op-ed…
Megxit: A Love Story
I have so many subjects lined up to write about in the next couple of weeks, yet people keep asking me to write about Megxit. I budged since Meghan Markle has been sitting in my quarantine folder for two years now. Pending to be written..
Self(ish) Care
I used to love the term self-care and what it meant. Taking care of yourself, doing things to please you, and giving yourself a little bit of TLC to be able to take on the world. My self-care was meditation every night to silence my mind, massage once a week, chamomile tea at night…
The Unsettling and Gorgeous World of Euphoria
I’ve been wanting to watch Euphoria for the longest time, and finally sat down to see what all the hype was about. I must admit, I wasn’t expected what I saw. Every part of my being was attacked, every sense stimulated.
Happy New Year: Complete Me
Happy New Year, people. Or rather, Happy New Decade! When I started writing this blog in 2008, I had no idea I would still be documenting my thoughts in 2020. Two hundred (200+) posts later, here we are. It’s been an adventure; hopefully, it helped you through challenging…
Happy Xmas (What Have You Done?)
"So this is Christmas. And what have you done?" Those words always hit me so much harder than any other Christmas song that was just a pile of mundane reciting of a holiday cheer, without any real meaning to it. I’m not Grinching this year, I promise. I like holidays, I like the…
The Enviable Freedom of Alexandra Grant
A famous older actress once told me, at dinner, in her Hollywood Hills house where I ended up by sheer circumstance: “Remember this thing. People are never ever going to be jealous at your youth or beauty or your money or success…
Feeding or Starving Your Ego?
I have never seen more passionate responses to any of my articles than the Boom, Boom, Ciao I wrote last week. Some of them were even borderline angry! What other subject on earth can raise such strong feelings, but the subject of love?
Boom, Boom, Ciao
I wrote my last post in June. It was called - Social Media Fatigue & How to Cure it. And the way to cure it was, that. This. Taking the time. Now, this isn’t social media, sort to speak, but I need to turn on a power button and share something. And in order to share properly, and share in the right…
Social Media Fatigue & How to Cure it
Recently, I’ve been experiencing severe social media fatigue. I know you have, too. I’ve seen it. In you. In me. Many people. There’s a slow creeping shift you barely noticed, but it’s here. It’s the same scenario that happened with Facebook…
Fleabag: This is a Love Story. Kneel.
Fleabag. I owe you Fleabag. If you read my last post about Killing Eve, I promised to write about Fleabag next. Prepare. This is going to be one of those situations. You'll postpone watching it, despite me telling you it's the best thing on television right now.
The (Power) House of Fenty
Rihanna was always a phenomenon that gave me a feeling of comfort. I rarely thought of her as a person, more like a movement. A project, an experiment, that somehow worked. She was direct, honest, some would say rude, but honestly, that word is just an excuse for people with…
