The very first time my best friend Candice and I traveled together, we struggled. It was our first time in New York City and our first time spending 100% of our time together; I was certain our friendship was over. Though we struggled, thankfully that vacation didn’t break us. I mean, it definitely tested our…
How the hell did I get here? When did I get to 29 and how can I make it stop? Well, I guess I should start by saying that today is my birthday. October 1, 1989 is the day that I was born, well the day me and a bunch of other babies were born…
Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault Today has been exhausting. I spent most of my day watching the Kavanaugh hearing and I found it extremely triggering. As a sexual assault survivor, I was aware that watching this event could cause me some distress but I felt it necessary to stand in solidarity with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford….
My relationship with my Mexican culture has been complicated for most of my life. I have struggled to love my skin color for as long as I can remember, I constantly wished my mom would speak English and I detested the yearly summer vacations to Mexico. When I say detested, I mean it was a…

So of course as I’m getting ready to write this blog post about positivity and manifesting great things, I end up going outside to get something from my car and …. I GET LOCKED OUT OF MY HOUSE! I don’t know what I did to The Universe but IT. IS. PISSED. So here’s the thing;…
I remember the moment I first held you in my arms, I had shaky arms and a heart that could barely contain itself but there you were: Sophia Julianna. How is it that such a tiny human has been such an essential part of my being for two years? How did I get so damn…
17-year-old Julie was very proud of the fact that she didn’t have many girlfriends. She walked around angry at the world while sharing with anyone who would listen, that she preferred being friends with guys because girls were just so much drama. She was the meanest of the mean girls and often found herself on…
