What Hollywood gets WRONG about Arabs, The Middle East, and Arabic
https://youtu.be/tHy_9MZHpQ8 I had no intention of making a video about this topic until 20 minutes before I started filming... No really. I'm serious. There I was, in front of the mirror finishing up my makeup, thinking "today I'll film my Q&A about relationships" -- backstory: there's a list of 12 questions that I had written for future guests about their thoughts on various aspects of dating/relationships...I was going to answer them for you this week,…
First Time in Lake Tahoe: Hiking Mt. Tallac
https://youtu.be/5JblnzinSwQ My first trip to Lake Tahoe happened in mid-September, the same time as the fires in the Bay area (then again, I'm struggling to remember a summer/fall without fires in California...)! I was fortunate to have the opportunity to leave LA for a few days and stay in a house in South Lake Tahoe. That said, NO I didn't skip school (it's actually hard for me to do that, as a nerd) -- I am taking…
Ivy League to Community College: Back to School with Shannon
https://youtu.be/aeY14PXdVv8 Hello and happy fall semester! After graduating from Wharton in 2010, I never thought that I would go back to school. Honestly, I figured that anything I needed to know I could just 'google' and 'youtube.' But less than 18 months after graduation, I was already back in class. It wasn't a formal "college" where you work toward a degree; they were Arabic classes at Eton Institute in Dubai. I was buying books (Al…

Welcome back :) as we wrap up the summer, I want to start by saying THANK YOU for Liking and Subscribing to my Youtube channel! Means the world to me <3 !!! (and if you haven't done so, please take a minute and do it now!) One of the things I've been…
My First Visit to the Chiropractor: Getting Adjusted
https://youtu.be/YQrJeTRBT9w "You're in pretty darn good shape overall" -Adam Yoser, DC, after my first session. Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. I recently went to the chiropractor for the first time. It was a positive experience overall and the adjustment--though it sounds like it hurt-- was not painful. I hope you enjoy the video! Let me know about your experience going to a chiropractor--has it helped? Was your experience…
What I Wish I’d Known 15 Years Ago about Skincare
https://youtu.be/yujstmYwOqs Hey everybody! I'll start by saying that it's taken me a while to get to a place where I feel comfortable talking about my skincare...15 years ago I was SUPER self-conscious and embarrassed about my skin. I would wash my face twice a day and do all the things I thought you're supposed to do...but it didn't seem to help. Back then I didn't know about supplements and nutrition. I've come to understand that it all…
Ranked #1 Best City for 3 Years in A Row? My First Trip to Austin
https://youtu.be/eD726InoPcs Hey everybody, I recently returned from my first trip to Austin. A bit of background reading: Austin, Texas was rated #1 US City to live in for three years in a row according to US News and World Report. I noticed that this was for 2017-2019 (it looks like they didn't do a 2020 ranking...probably because of...a certain pandemic that's made the last 4 months feel like a year). I live in LA and it was…
