Hey there! I’m Jamie, and I’m all about writing Lifestyle pieces here at ICIBlog, with a special focus on health & wellness, and everything related to love and relationships. I have a soft spot for re-watching ‘90s movies and sharing my thoughts on them—like my take on “Love, Actually” (spoiler: it’s not great) and “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” (still a classic!).
I earned my degree in Dramatic Literature, Theatre History & Cinema Studies from NYU, but honestly, I wasn’t sure what to do with it at first. I spent a lot of time waitressing before diving into the world of off-off-off-Broadway plays, some of which made their way to festivals in New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto. Then, blogging became my jam, which led to a decade-long freelance writing career. I’ve even held roles as an associate editor and a communications officer for a non-profit animal welfare group. My work has been featured in over 50 online publications, including The Washington Post, BBC, Elle Canada, and BuzzFeed. Plus, I’m the proud author of two books published with Adams Media and Running Press.
I share my home with a sassy black cat named Luna, and I’ve got six plants named after characters from “Friends”—that is, if I can manage to keep them alive! (The plants, not Luna. Though she might drive me a bit crazy sometimes… just kidding—she’s my everything!)
Exploring Modern Relationships
In exploring modern relationships, I recently wrote about the “Living Together Apart” trend, where couples are finding that separate homes can actually strengthen their love. I also delved into the world of “Vabbing,” the TikTok trend of using vaginal fluid as a DIY perfume, to see if it’s really a thing or just a gross idea. And let’s be real, when it comes to relationships, anyone who’s ever sent an angry text can relate to “fexting,” which is worth thinking twice about before hitting send.
