August 23, 2018

As many of you know, Crazy Rich Asians recently came out in theater. Part of the reason why this movie is such a big deal is because this is the first major film with a full Asian cast since Joy Luck Club! I was a bit skeptical about the movie at first, but overall, I…

How Blogging and Instagram are Killing Me and Building Me Up at the Same Time – PART 2

August 14, 2018

When I first started blogging and Instagram it was partly because I was pseudo-unemployed. I thought maybe blogging could lead to some income (that hasn’t happened yet!).

A Tea Party for a Recovering Perfectionist – PART 2

July 9, 2018

My Unlikely Perfectionist Response to Everything Going Wrong In my last post, I wrote about being a recovering perfectionist and how everything went wrong at my annual tea party.

Stop Fighting! Have a Productive Conflict! – PART 2

June 12, 2018

  Contrary to this photo, in my house, we don’t have fights. We don’t even have arguments. In a fight, one person always loses. In an argument, you might not even have a winner! There is just a lot of back and forth, each person wanting to get their stance communicated and understood. Instead, we…
