The Whole Truth

Joleen Lunzer — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 16:12:51 +0000

It’s official. I’ve become someone who posts pictures of healthy food on social media. Feel free to unfollow, unfriend or hide me from your newsfeed because if I could, I’d do the same. Until 21 days ago, I was on a sugar bender. I was seeing movies in theaters 1-2 times a week. It wasn’t […]

You Can’t Ring My Bell

Joleen Lunzer — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:28:48 +0000

I’ve never wanted to have a big wedding. The idea of a big wedding sprung me into an instant panic attack as I became overwhelmed with the idea of party planning. I’m not a planner. I’m a doer. I’ve never understood people who plan for something up to a year in advance. However that kind […]

#FollowME- How Instagram is Taking Over My Everday Life

Joleen Lunzer — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 14:00:03 +0000

I spend too many of my days watching the lives of others unfold online while allowing my real life to sit stagnant. I hold my phone so close to my face that it slips through my hand and plummets onto my nose too many times than I want to remember. I just leave the nose […]

There’s NOT An App For That

Joleen Lunzer — Fri, 09 May 2014 18:09:39 +0000

Despite the copious amount of phone apps that exist for your downloading pleasure, I often find it difficult to find ones that suit me. I never liked birds so whether they are “Flappy” or “Angry,” I’m not interested. Pandora is a great music app for when I’m at home on my Wi-Fi, but once I’m […]

Modest Me Without Baby

Joleen Lunzer — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:00:59 +0000

I recently made the dream I’ve had since I was a 12-year-old girl come true, I moved to beautiful Hollywood, California to pursue my dream of becoming a professional comedian/writer/actress/ankle model. And with every big move comes great new adventures- like finding a new primary care doctor. Let the fun begin! After searching online to […]

Must Love Cat

Joleen Lunzer — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:00:09 +0000

I’ve always had an affection for cats. Throughout my life, I’ve been very open with my fondness; however, it wasn’t until my late 20’s when people started referring to me as a “Cat Lady.” Which is of course that old stereotype that defines any woman over the age of 25 who admits to owning, loving […]

Don’t Stop Believing… And Breathing

Joleen Lunzer — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 13:30:21 +0000

I developed an obsessive compulsive ritual at a very young age. I started checking to see if my family was breathing while they slept. In the middle of the night was when I felt we were at our most vulnerable. I’d creep into my parent’s bedroom and stare over them until I heard a sigh, […]

She’s Just Being Miley Cyrus

Joleen Lunzer — Sat, 14 Sep 2013 13:00:34 +0000

There's a method to this pop star's "madness" and if we've learned anything at all, it's that Americans have an unhealthy obsession with celebrities.

From what I have witnessed, being a mom changes everything. Once a child enters your life, your world completely changes.
