You’re so right! Leg acceptance is the worst! I just bought my first pair of shorts after 15 years of not being caught dead in anything other than pants, or long dresses , but I still won’t wear them. How do you do it?! I’m a fairly thin, tall, long-legged woman, and I work out 5-6 days a week, and yet I have thunder…

I skipped pre-kinder (yay!) because my mom taught me to read and write at a young age, yet one of my most humiliating moments in life was spelling bee related, and to this day I cannot live it down. I was in the final round of my city-wide spelling bee in middle school. I think to throw us off, they gave us all an…

I briefly mentioned this in another post, but I am in the process of getting my EU citizenship through my grandfather, and when I started the process last year, I was told it would take 4-5 months to complete. However, the EU is experience a large influx of citizenship applications since the beginning of 2017 that I’m…

I actually willingly (regretfully, now) went to my brother’s because Tory Burch was the commencement speaker and I genuinely wanted to hear her speech. Yes, I know, basic as hell. But she was hands down one of the most BORING people I’ve ever heard speak. Zero emotion, she legit seemed like she was forced on that…

I’m about halfway through the process of getting my Polish citizenship, thanks (I think?) to my grandfather having to escape a little thing you may have heard of called the Holocaust. I was getting it just for funsies, so that I could skip extra long customs lines when travelling in Europe. Now I’m REALLY glad it’s…

Sure! We spent 8 days there, and honestly, there was so much to do, that we definitely needed more time, and unfortunately rushed through a lot. We started in Edinburgh for a couple of days, rented a car and headed for Inverness. We took the long route through Cairngorns National Park becuase it’s absolutely…

my friend and I JUST got back from Scotland a few months ago on a trip inspired and planned around Outlander. We made it to Culloden and found the Fraser Clan memorial, and it was like we legitimately lost someone we knew. We rented a car and literally drove from place to place - check out this map for all the filming…

Agreed. My first language is Spanish, but my main language is English. My parents speak English very well, but it’s a habit of switching to Spanish in front of other people who may or may not understand, when I talk to my family. I promise I’m not trying to be rude people. Some conversations with some people are more…

I agree with this, but then am stuck with this issue: “working from home”. A few weeks ago I was dying of the flu and still came into the office two days because of my workload. On the third day I couldn’t get out of bed and finally called in one of my UNLIMITED sick days. Except, despite telling everyone I was…

Just this past weekend, a really drunk angry guy somehow slipped past the doorman in my building at 4 am and clearly confusing my apartment for someone else’s tried to break down my door. Literally tried kicking down the door, banging on it, trying to pry off the doorknob. He was cleared wasted out of his mind, but…

WAIT. This brings me back to my childhood like whoah! I got my Jordan barbie doll as a birthday present, and my dad would NOT let me play with it until he took out the rat tail and his earring. I cried, but decided that I would gladly take Jordan with or without rat tail. I’m almost 100% sure that doll is still in…

I worked at a competitor of Taboola and let me tell you... we all had to sit there and write about 100+ different versions of the same headline so that ONE of those words would maybe match something you may have possibly one time sort of maybe looked at in passing.... I didn’t last very long there.

And some (the baseball field scene before she’s named cheer captain) was at Torrey Pines. Hello fellow North County-ier!

I’m in advertising myself. I’m Mexican, and my primary account is a very well known national “Mexican” fast food chain. I deal with my clients complaining, almost weekly, that our very famous MEXICAN radio personality sounds “too Hispanic” when recording his spots about a wanna be“MEXICAN” product, and can we please…

GUYS! GUYSSSSSSSSS I JUST got back from Scotland two weeks ago from an Outlander-inspired trip. We did the usual must sees of Edinburgh and Glasgow, of course, but then did a week long roadtrip through the Highlands using an Outlander location map to guide us, starting in Inverness. It was magical. AND our tour guide…

I mean, I think it’s a cultural thing, but it also depends on the context. In Spanish, when talking directly to my parents, they are “Ma” and “Pa”, but when, for example, talking to my dad about my mom, I will say “Mami”, or “Papi” if it’s vice versa. Same thing with my siblings in English. When talking amongst…

Wait what? I had my gallbladder removed 4 weeks ago exactly and I was told NOTHING would change in terms of my body processing things differently. In fact, he even gave me a bottle of wine to go home and drink and celebrate that I could eat whatever without consequences! Aside from steadily going to the bathroom now…
