How one man is turning his lifelong passion into his ultimate mission and helping the world along the way.
Growing up, every afternoon, I was able to go across the street from my house to a local park and play badminton with my cousin. The streets were quiet and the trees were lush. Fast forward 30 years later, the city has been absolutely transformed. There are no more playing fields within walking distance of my home. Every day, I see children playing on their phones rather than outside. Walking more than 20 minutes outside makes me cough due to heavy pollution. The skies are constantly grey and at night the stars are no longer visible. I thought to myself…

For women, maturing is both a blessing and a curse
You know the saying “Youth is wasted on the young?” This week is my birthday and I’m conflicted. On one hand, I like the person that I am today. I feel like the me today is the woman I’ve always wanted to be. I’m very comfortable in my own skin and I like it that way. In my twenties, I was plagued with the thought of “Anything you can do, I can do better”. Every day was a constant obsession of always having to follow the latest fashion, making sure I was up to date and not outdated. FOMO (Fear…

Do Doctors Today Still Do Manual Diagnosis of Patients?
For those of you who have read a few of my articles, you will know by know that I’m a fan of Prime Video. Their original content is definitely note worthy but I tune in for their oldies content such as House. During an episode, one of the doctors said if only the blood sample was examine by human eyes, they would have figured out what was wrong with the patient sooner, rather than trying a million different treatment before realizing it was a parasite problem.This got me to thinking. How accurate is this depiction in real life?

Too much tech isn’t always a good thing.
The latest Apple Spring 2021 event is loaded with one-of-a-kind gems such as the AirTag, and the iPhone 12 in Purple (oddly specific but ok). I waited for this event as I do with the yearly Apple events. I wanted my mind to be BLOWN. I wanted to be able to say “WHOAAA”, “WHAT THE…..”, “HOW DID THEY…..”. And normally every year I would say those things and yes my mind would indeed be blown #Blownemoji. However, this Apple Spring 2021 event was different. I saw a side of Apple I never knew existed. You know like your best friend…

Let’s support women to thrive at work
The 21st century has proven to be one of the best and worst centuries for women. On one hand, women are allowed to study and join any profession their heart's desires. Whether it be being a Pastry Chef, Engineer, or Astronaut. On the other hand, women are still expected to play the role many assume we are meant to have: caregiver for the family. And yet, with all these expectations, instead of giving women the support and facilities we need to perform our profession and duties to the fullest, we are expected to…

Do we really need more influencers?
Thanks to the new apps and platforms being created by the day, the world is seeing more and more “Content Creators” on the rise, whether it be Tik-Tok stars, Instagrammers, or YouTubers. Sharing knowledge is wonderful, and I’m all for it. What I’m wondering is, if every Gen Z and kids around the world are aiming to be the next big mega influencer such as Jeffree Star and James Charles, what is going to happen to the world?
As we know, Influencers don’t actually create anything (besides their own merch and products) that creates a deep impact nor positive change…

La Dolce Vita through the eyes of Stanley Tucci
Italy, a country that many, including myself, considers to be the Holy Grail when it comes to fashion and food. The Italian sense of style is renowned. And their food, well, pasta is without a doubt one of the most beloved food in the world. This brings me to Searching for Italy, a new series from CNN and hosted by none other than Stanley Tucci (You may remember him in Devil wears Prada where he was indeed brilliant). There have been many (an abundant, in fact) shows focusing on Italy. Every year there a new take Italy is presented, featuring…

It’s not all glitz and glam…..
Diamonds…..synonymous with royalty, love, and opulence. At least that’s what comes to my mind when someone mentions the word Diamonds to me. That, and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Diamonds can do no wrong, they are a girl’s best friend and the symbol of eternal love. Because as we all know “A Diamond is Forever”. These are all the positive messaging that the diamond industry has been spewing to consumers for the last few decades as their main marketing. …

Cooking delicious meals shouldn’t take up half your day!
It’s the 21st century, we are in the middle of a Pandemic, my kid is now my full-time student and my dining room is now my office. Most of us want to cook healthy meals that won't break the bank and will not require four hours on the stove (Sorry Megan, your Zucchini pasta just won’t do). My mother was a firm believer that “We eat to live, not live to eat”. I know right now there’s the whole “Foodie” trend, everyone is now a connoisseur and loves to take pics of their foods and endlessly discuss every morsel on…
Music
Growing up Country was the best thing that happened to me
Throughout the years, country music has been perceived to be mostly songs that are gut wreanching, soul crushing and just plain sad. Somewhere along the lines of my dog died, I lost my job and my truck broke down. As a longtime country music fan, I assure you, country music is so much more than that. Shania Twain may have taken the genre to a new stratosphere but those who came before and after her have cemented that country music is here to stay and is better than ever before. If you’ve never heard a single country song in your…
