My weight loss journey and how I lost 30 pounds
Today marks ten months since I decided to embark on a weight loss journey that lead me to lose 30 pounds. I constantly get asked what my secret has been, and I always find it funny that people think there’s a “secret” to losing weight aside from the obvious eating healthy and being active, which…

The Similarities Between Dating and Job Interviewing
Earlier this year, I did a bit of career soul-searching. I decided it was time for me to step up the ladder and change my professional scenery.

Seeing The Bright Side Of Things: My Warm Intake on Winter
For the longest time, I was convinced my parents chose the wrong country to immigrate to.

2014: The Year I Found Myself
The start of a new year is either exciting, or is met with a sigh of relief. It’s a fresh new start. A blank canvas. It’s 365 days and nights of stories and experiences that have yet to happen. Sometimes though, a new year can start off badly. New Years can be heavy, dark and…
