How to Make an Envelope from Scratch

Back in the olden days (read: 2015) I decided to start a small business where I would sell handmade paper envelopes to my classmates in exchange for...wait for it...STICKY NOTES. After a couple of short weeks the Principal shut us down (because a paper envelope company was so serious) but my lackluster skill for creating paper envelope remains intact. So enjoy this video!

My Lifelong Affair with Corinne Bailey Rae

Corinne Bailey Rae has existed in my universe for as long as I can remember. My parents were music snobs back in the day and only allowed me and my sisters to listen to what they listened to in a  (successful) attempt to make sure that we all picked up their taste. Growing up I heard a lot of Prince, a lot of Sade, a lot of Billie Holiday, and a lot of Stevie Wonder. And while all of those artists have a special place in my heart none of them have stuck with me the way that Corinne Bailey Rae has.  Corinne Bailey Rae's self-titled debut album came out in 2006 when I was 2 years old.

Every week I write a journal entry in a series that I started one Saturday morning in September back in 2016 that I call my '! per weeks.' I write screenplays, I write short stories, I write essays. I write I write I write---and I'm proud of it. There is a large portion of my heart that is dedicated to storytelling and all of the joy that it can bring and a large portion of my brain that's dedicated to dreaming about becoming a storyteller. So the cheap answer to the question that I've raised for myself would be that I write because I want to pursue it professionally, but I know that it's a lot more complex than that. During a sunny week in September 2014, I was tasked with a special assignment. It was the first week of fifth grade and my teacher ha...

Live thoughts from the 78th Golden Globes

Like the grand Moira Rose once said, "My favorite season? Oh it's awards!" I could write an entire think piece about why I adore these programs---and I probrably will someday. But for now, I will leave you with some of my reactions from tonight's wonderful ceremony.  1. Daniel Kayuula would like to fank oh so many people #lethimspeak.  2. Currently manifesting an Emily in Paris win.  3. Catharine O'Hara singing along to her play out music...yes. 4. I'd like to have a harsh word with whoever dressed Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.  5. Norman Lear's rainbow heart tie brings me sweet sweet joy.  6. Jason Sudeikis looks LOVELY in his little tie dye sweatshirt.  7. EMMA CORRINNNNNN!!! I'm obsessed with her little clown outfit. 8. The mispronunciation of Soul---couldn't possibly discuss. John Baptiste's pastel suite on the other hand... 9. Sterling K Brown and his shiny blue counterpart...also yes.  10. Ramy Youseff's BEANIE!!!  11. JASON SUDEIKIS winn...
