I am super excited to do a home office desk setup tour. Nowadays I work mostly from home. My company has a hybrid work policy, albeit a very relaxed one. I am required to go to the office 2-3 times a month, but that’s not enforced tightly. However, I like being in the office and also meeting my team in […]

For my 30th birthday, the Mister organized a surprise trip to – drumrolls please – Iceland! I was not expecting such a bucket list-level destination and when I found out – about 30 minutes before landing – I could not believe it. Luckily, I had instructions to pack for cold weather and not to bring fancy clothes but rather comfy […]
To be completely honest, I haven’t used the term “boss” in a professional context in a long time. I most probably used it in my first one or two years of working an office job, and once I had a mindset shift, I never looked back. I despise the use of the “boss” word. There, I’ve said it. I dislike […]

I want to start the new year by talking about one of my favorite things from last year. It’s something we did back in January 2022, and it became one of the best short trips we ever did. It was a few days’ escape to a tiny house off the grid, surrounded by nature and only a few hours from […]

It’s that time of the year once again; time for a 2022 recap. I kind of made it a tradition already. As the year is ending, I love to look back and take stock of my work and personal life; what I enjoyed, what I learned, and what I was excited about. Part of it I always do it on […]
I take my Christmas gifting duty seriously. I absolutely love gifting to my loved ones and of course, every year I spend hours doing research for getting the perfect gift(s) for the Mr. I usually end up reading through dozens of gift guides for men every year, and I always end up thinking how predictable they are and how little […]

I’ve recently shared a review of the Celine Sangle Bucket Bag that I got earlier this year, and I realized I never shared a review of my very first luxury bag, my beloved LV NéoNoé.
