(photo via NYT)  Did you guys watch the Oscars last night?! I typically don’t watch award shows, but I honestly wanted to see how Chris Rock would handle his monologue in all the #oscarssowhite controversy –so my review of the week goes to him. I honestly don’t think there’s anyone who could’ve done a better job–he addressed the situation head on and I really respected his comedy for tackling while simultaneously ribbing a heated debate. In case you missed Rock’s monologue you can… View Post

Review of the Week: I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed a game before! But since I’ve been crazy at work and hustling for holidays, it’s definitely been nice to zone out and play one of my new fave games, Two Dots. I kind of love the calming colors, plus it’s leisurely since it’s not timed, but don’t let that pretty laid backness fool you–Two Dots is totally strategic and challenging, especially the further you go and is addictive for real! Hope… View Post

John Oliver on Fast Fashion

I was watching HBO with my dad over the weekend and was thrilled to see a 17 minute segment on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver that took on fast fashion in a brilliant way. Oliver makes some really great points my favorite being: This is going to keep happening as long as we let it, so we need to show clothing brands not just that we care but why they should… WORD, Mr. Oliver…word! John Oliver made a point… View Post

Good Habits…Try Your Best

(source: swissmiss) I absolutely love this quote. Even if you’re not at your dream job I think it’s really important to have integrity in what you do and bring heart into it. I have a wonderful job but even when I didn’t I really did my best and was my best at every place I’ve worked whether that’s been selling glasses or xeroxing a million scripts and I have to say it’s served me well and makes me feel great.… View Post

I did some research on my own and found Convoy of Hope. Convoy of Hope already had programs in place feeding children in Cebu and Manila and were at… View Post
