KonMari, one year later. Here's what I've learned.

KonMari, one year later. Here's what I've learned.
Last year around this time, I picked up the book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. I wrote about my experiences over by here.

Summer Movie Forecast 2017
Though I’ve done this post every year for the last 7 years, this may be the first year where the concept of a summer movie no longer means what it once did. When Beauty and the Beast opens to $175M in March and then goes on to make $500M, or when The Fate of the... Read more »

Don't hurt me. I'm not a doctor.

Don't hurt me. I'm not a doctor.
I am a terrible follower of things that get the internet excited. By “terrible” I mean, I’m always late to the party or don’t attend at all. But I did see the video of the United passenger being “escorted” off the plane the other day, and it affected me. I could’ve been him. I could’ve... Read more »

I’m sure we had a great time.) I only remember the first one. I was a freshman in high school at an all-girls’ school. My... Read more »
