Week 150: November 9th-15th, 2025 This week, I had a meeting with my boss at my second job (as a "training and quality expert") to meet the new project manager. The meeting was actually my idea because I wanted to get face time with the key players in the company's new chapter (aka, me, the CEO, and the Project Manager). Anyway, to spare you the boring details of a beige-core, overpriced coffee shop, I'll keep it short and sweet: We met at the coffee shop side of Malibu Farms

Week 149: November 2nd-8th, 2025 In a world run by Sanrio, Labubu, Smiski, Sonny Angels and more, it makes perfect sense that a MINISO would open at Mission Valley mall. For those that are not in the know, (or not "knowers" as I like to call it) MINISO is a retailer that offers goods, cosmetics, stationery, toys, and electronics. The company often has collaborations with popular intellectual property franchises like Disney, Sanrio, and Marvel. According to Google, MINISO was

Week 148: October 26th-November 1st, 2025 In her retirement, my mom has found many hobbies and her time is spent traveling, creating art, and enjoying life. This past week, she came down to San Diego for a few days to see me and my sister and my brother-in-law. She treated us all to a nice dinner at a place I picked out called BoujieMana . I'd been wanting to try BoujieMana for a while, but having a non-foodie boyfriend makes it hard to go out and enjoy nice restaurants, so I

Week 147: October 19th-25th, 2025 Back when I donated blood in September, I got free tickets to SeaWorld San Diego's Howl-O-Scream event . I think I haven't been to SeaWorld since I was 12 and my dad and I adventured to San Diego's various zoos and parks, so I was excited to see what it was like about 14 years later. As a chronic over-planner, of course I had to watch a few YouTube videos like this one to know what to expect at the Howl-O-Scream event. I've been told I may h

Week 146: October 12th-18th, 2025 This week I was in one of the most expensive homes I have stepped foot in while I was on site for the first time at my second job. I was shadowing the CEO and her team at The Haute Suite, a professional organizing and concierge moving company. As some of you know, I started a second job back in August as an independent contractor. My main task as a training and quality coordinator is to create the company's handbook for onboarding, training,
