How was last week for you? I am still running on good January energy and am quite enjoying it. I love that I am still going strong on my 30 day yoga journey Home from Yoga with Adriene and am currently at day 24. The daily sessions are rather gentle and I often end up complementing them with a strength workout or a […]
As I shared in my 2021 reading list post, I have a goal for this year: to make my way through the 21 books on the list. That amounts to reading about two books a month, which seems doable. To keep myself accountable I thought of also sharing reviews of the books as I finish them and hopefully also inspire […]
How was the first work week of the year? Luckily, I had a good one, with a mild workload – most of my clients were still with half a leg on holidays – which means I could ease back into the rhythm gently, and I could also focus my energy on some prep work to help start the year on […]
I have to start this post by saying that the name of the post “21 books to read in 2021” was not planned. It just ended up this way. I actually had 22 books on my 2021 reading list but I was too eager to get started on it, so I read Bob Iger’s “The Ride of a Lifetime” in […]
Welcome to the first Weekly Reads of 2021! I hope you’ve had a wonderful break close to your loved ones – whether physically or via Zoom – and got to rest and recharge your batteries for the start of the year. I’ve had a truly magical time. It was just the two of us celebrating but we built a festive […]
2020 was a different year for most of us. A static year. A painful year. A year of loss. A year far from loved ones. A year when plans had to be put on hold. However, 2020 was also a year of rediscoveries. A year of growing inward. A year of change. A year of resilience. A year of hope. […]
Here we are, closing the year and I am finally sharing the books I read in 2020 – because yes, I managed to read a few; not many, but a few. My goal this year was to read 12 books. Well, while I am closing the year with only 8 books and a half, I am still quite pleased with […]
Not to brag, but throughout 2020 quite a few memorable pieces of advice have been linked and shared in the Weekly Reads. With the year wrapping up, I thought I would put together the list of the best career advice I’ve read (and shared) throughout the year. Below are the pieces of career advice that impacted me most and that I […]
This week I am off work, spending the Christmas week relaxing at home and enjoying the Christmas tree. I am also very much looking forward to opening all the gifts that have been sitting under the tree for almost a month now and my patience is running low (we did our Christmas shopping early this year). If you are still […]
Over the weekend I did a bit of a blog refresh – which, if you are reading this post you might have noticed – and I am quite happy with it. I think it became easier to read and also much faster. Let me know in the comments if you have any feedback! The weekend also brought us news of […]
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 my partner. 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 […]
Is it a bit late for a Christmas gift guide? It might be. Have I already gotten all my Christmas gift shopping in and now I am just comfortably talking? I might. Nonetheless, we are only halfway through our Advent calendars so if you still want to get something special for your loved ones, you have plenty of time. As you […]
I don’t know about you, but my Christmas mood is still going strong. Our tree is up since mid-November, and we’ve already started opening a present each, on every Advent Sunday. Oh, the perks of doing all of my Christmas shopping early! Now all the work is done and this month is only about enjoying myself. I also closed my […]
Happy December! How crazy that the year flew by already and we are in the last month, and at the same time, how exciting that it is the last month of 2020 – if you know what I mean. I am super stoked about new beginnings and new opportunities, but also really looking forward to enjoying some quiet and festive […]
Welcome to the Weekly Reads, where I highlight articles that I found on the web and that are focused on career advice, lifestyle, beauty or anything I think would round-up as useful for the young, modern, working woman. Just get yourself comfortable, pour a cup of coffee – or tea – and enjoy this week’s reads! Last week was intense. I […]
