My Tous les Jours Trip
As someone who lives in a rural area, I don't get the chance to visit fancy restaurants or bakeries that often. So, when a friend told me about a French-Asian bakery that's less than an hour away, I knew I had to check it out and grab some pictures for social media. Tous les Jours ended up providing an immersive experience that went above and beyond my expectations--although I did leave with a few reservations.

Cricket powder cinnamon banana bread
I lived in Mexico for some years, many Moons ago, twice. It was there when I saw for the first time fried crispy crickets (known as chapulines in Mexico) tacos seasoned with lime, garlic, salt, and chile. Cricket tacos are a traditional delicacy which is especially popular in the Oaxaca region of Mexico. You can find them as a street food optionat outdoor markets in Mexico (look for chapulines) or at speciality restauants in the U.S. (just make sure the crickets are for human consumption).

Arctic Roll*
Today, I was inspired. How delightful it felt! It was warm, huggable, and sprinkled with delicious fuzzy feels. I realised that, as a sensation, inspiration is right up there in the aspirational emotionally sumptuous rankings, nestled alongside nostalgia and dreams.

making space
Since the only thing that might pull us back up is caring, it only makes sense that here, long after I’ve let my anger born of heartbreak and grief misplace, multiply, misdirect itself, let the enormity of my solitude turn into something I don’t know how to dispute with, something thick and heavy and suffocating, let the coldness thrash and fight under my skin, deeper still, in between the arches of my organs; here where the ground is always close and the fall is easy and I surrender to it often, lie without purpose for hours, it only makes sense that it is here, I decide to show up and surrender to the possibilities of the night. Show up to those who I deserted. Drawn to the sense of accomplishment, something I haven’t felt in a while, to memory of finished dish sending its aroma into the world and with it, wrapping the room with a strong sense of sweet nostalgia, I get up and decide to cook. I pick up my phone, type a message that reads “Dinner at mine @ 8PM, don’t bring anything” and before my courage deserts me again, drop it in our friends’ group chat, the way one would do when diffusing a bomb in the movies: one eye closed, snip at the wire, hoping for the best.

What Makes A Cook?
Despite sipping on a retired pornstar, I felt absolutely drunk. Like two giddy school girls, my mother and I ate in silence. While, every so often, looking up from our spoons to exchange a smile and a light laugh. Underneath the golden chandeliers of Savoy Grill glistened a rich, dark caramel, poured atop the apple tart tatin. A truly euphoric experience, it was.

Eat Fruit Ten Times a Day for a Longer Life

However, emerging research and long-standing nutritional wisdom suggest that frequent fruit consumption can play a powerful role in promoting a longer, healthier life.

The Greek Secret to a Healthy Heart
When it comes to heart health, few places in the world have captured as much scientific and cultural attention as Greece. For decades, researchers have studied why people living in parts of Crete and other Greek regions experience remarkably low rates of heart disease. The answer lies not in a single factor, but in a powerful combination of diet, lifestyle, and mindset that together form what is widely known as the Mediterranean way of life.

Will Life Expectancy Reach 90 by 2030?
The idea that the average human life expectancy could approach 90 years by 2030 is both fascinating and ambitious. Over the past century, humanity has witnessed an extraordinary rise in life expectancy due to breakthroughs in medicine, improved living standards, and better awareness of health and hygiene. While reaching an average global life expectancy of 90 within such a short time frame may seem optimistic, the trends driving longevity suggest that we are steadily moving toward longer, healthier lives.

I Escaped the Wellness Cult That Killed My Best Friend
What started as an alternative wellness retreat promising detox and spiritual awakening ended with my best friend dying of starvation while the guru convinced her that hunger was her body purging toxins and that eating would interrupt her enlightenment, and by the time I realized we were in a cult, I had already recruited a dozen people and watched the community I thought was healing people systematically destroy them through a combination of pseudoscience, charismatic manipulation, and isolation tactics that prevented anyone from seeing how far from wellness we had actually gone.
