I have a cousin living in Japan and as usual I’d been procrastinating with visiting. While on the phone with her one day she told me about a festival that I may be interested in, Kanamara Matsuri.

I’ve been exploring Houston, Texas for ten months as of today. Being away from everything that is familiar to me has its challenges, but I’m managing quite well. Slowly I’ve gotten back into hobbies I’d once abandoned, like reading. Right now I’m reading, “Year Of Yes” by Shonda Rhimes. “Yes” is a word I don’t... Continue Reading →

It’s been about 2 weeks since I’ve had the best slice of pizza I’ve ever tasted. Seriously, I’m not exaggerating. It was around brunch time in New Orleans and after visiting multiple times , I wanted to venture outside of the French Quarter. Most people would want seafood or brunch food, not me. I was...
