Lately I feel like I am living for the weekend only. Work has got me “overworked”, from never-ending client commitments to internal initiatives all over the place, I feel like I am running in circles. Maybe it’s spring mode or maybe it’s the post-restructuring era but it definitely gets me consumed. I don’t mean to bring negativity to the table, […]
Weekly Reads – April 16
My favourite time of the week is here, which means that the Weekly Reads are out. And it’s double my favourite, because it’s such a wonderful time of the year in Berlin! It’s spring and summer warm and the city is slowly turning green. There is no better time to be in the city and enjoy it, so I am […]
Weekly Reads – April 11
This week’s reads are heavily infused by beauty and skin care vibes. I just ordered a few of The Ordinary’s products and I am blown away by the great job that they are doing. And this has actually been a trigger for getting a deeper dive into skin care, which feels really good. As we all know, knowledge is power, […]
Chocolate & Raspberry Raw Vegan Cake
Raw deserts are one of my biggest guilty pleasures. While they don’t fall under the “career” type of content, they have a special place in my heart so I will dedicate a post and a few lines to share this beautiful raw vegan cake recipe, that I prepared last year for my boyfriend’s birthday. Full disclosure: it’s gluten free, dairy […]
Weekly Reads – April 2
Easter break felt so good and so bad at the same time. Good because it was chill time, and bad because it was too chilled… as in lazy chilled. Alright, what I am trying to say here is that I have been lazy these past few days. I have literally been having the laziest Easter break that you can ever […]
Weekly Reads – March 28
Spring time is here and quite literally this time. The clocks have changed in Berlin, and while now we are enjoying longer days it still feels like it takes some days to adjust to that one hour change. For this week, the picks are quite varied touching on career topics, bedroom decor and spring mood among others. Enjoy the weekly reads […]
Own Your Narrative – Build your Reputation at Work
Owning your narrative at work is one of the most underrated ideas out there. We tend to think that if we work hard enough we will eventually “get what we deserve and what we have worked so hard for” even if we sit quietly and just keep working, but life is simply not as straightforward as this. The idea is that […]
Weekly Reads – March 18
I was literally buried in work for the past two weeks – new client, no life is how I call it – and everything else fell second including my Weekly Reads post from last week. No sports, no yoga, pretty much nothing else that was not work – well, except for taking the bikes out on the spring teaser we […]
Weekly Reads – March 4
What a week – Europe was freezing and everyone around got sick but since work was very busy and hectic, the week pretty much flew by. The most noteworthy thing is probably the fact that The Career Edit is now as official as it gets. I finally got a domain and switched from Wix to WordPress, so this is serious […]
My 5 Go-To Career Websites
Ever since I started working, I’ve been on the look for useful – yet hopefully beautifully designed – websites or blogs that offer real career advice and real career stories. Needless to say, I simply despise all these trashy websites built with the sole purpose of monetizing, and that just share articles like “5 tips to … “. While they are great for lost […]
Weekly Reads – February 25
March, spring, summer, where are you? This week has been literally one of the worst of the year so far. Extremely cold days, lots on my plate at work and being half sick. So, while I am dreaming of better and warmer days, below are this week’s picks. Never stop learning. This is such an underrated thing, and not only by young students […]
Five websites with stunning free images
If you, same as me, suck at taking beautiful pictures (and I swear my ability to take bad pictures is such a mystery to me, as I am a pretty well skilled person in pretty much everything, if you were to ask me) fear no longer because I got your back. Below is a selection of five wonderful websites where you can get […]
Weekly Reads – February 18
This week has been crazy busy in terms of work, so thank God for Valentine’s Day, chocolate and sushi to help us survive throughout the week. So without further due, below are my picks for the week. It’s all in the details. At least when it comes to desk decor. I love every single desk decor piece listed in this […]
Weekly Reads – February 11
Remember last week I was talking about how it’s time to get life matters in order, deal with paperwork, set appointments and all the administrative hassle that comes/accumulates with a new year? Well, this week I really lived up to my words and completed about 75% of that work in one day. Pretty impressive, I know. This means that except for […]
Weekly Reads – February 4
This week has marked the start of February, which means that 2018 is really rolling and it’s time to set and plan all the things that need to happen: doctors appointments, tax matters, document fixing… everything needs to be planned or get done asap (pretty much what I was saying I was going to do three weeks ago, courtesy of Twenty […]
