Why I’m Geeking Out Over the 2019 Toyota RAV4 – And Why You Will Be Too

November 20, 2018

I have a bit of history with Toyota’s RAV4. In fact, it’s the only car I’ve ever owned. When I turned 16, I got a 1996 RAV4 (4 years old at the time with 40,000 miles on it), and it was a beautiful relationship I never wanted to end. I loved that car with all […]

Whether you’re listening to music in […]

August 30, 2018

Emma Loggins

Attending a Cirque show is always a magical experience, and Corteo is no exception. So what makes Corteo stand out so? For me, this was the very first Cirque I ever saw – years ago. So it has a special place in my heart to start with. But beyond the sentimental, the music, performances and […]

The TV Show I’m Most Excited For – And How I Discovered It At Comic-Con 2018

July 21, 2018

Emma Loggins

My love of sci-fi is no secret, specifically anything that involves aliens, and it’s been awhile since we’ve had a good alien-focused show on television. Hollywood tends to go in sci-fi/fantasy cycles of zombies, vampires, werewolves, witches, and aliens – and we’ve been stuck in zombies for while – and vampires for just as long […]
