My work days are becoming busier and busier. I can see how all of my clients are back in the office now, eager to get the ball rolling. Which means a lot of work for me. While August was generally more quiet, September is coming in strong, with full days of back to back meetings, new clients and lots of […]
I can’t believe that September is already here with a full-on autumn vibe. The colder days are here, the air is so crisp and the sun is less warm. At least in Berlin. I did use this as an excuse to stock up on a million types of warm drinks that I shared all details of over on my Instagram, […]
I made it! I have been lucky enough that my first week back at work after the holidays was not crazy and I actually had the time to catch up with the million emails I had, get back into the working mode and organize everything I needed. A first in my career so far and what a blessing it’s been! […]
What a long time it’s been since the last Weekly Reads! But guess what, I am back, and this time back with fresh energy. Just returned from a two week long holiday – this is the first time I take a two week holiday as until now we usually only took one week at a time – and oh, it […]
Laser hair removal is a procedure that is gaining more and more popularity. Given that it’s a rather costly and lengthy procedure there are many factors to weigh in and many questions that one might have. Since I’ve embarked on this journey around 7-8 years ago, I thought I would share my perspective on it. I also wrote a more detailed […]
I had a pretty good week with a pretty good workload. Finally! I have been doing a lot of pushing back and expectations mangement in the past few weeks when it comes to managing my clients and handling my own management so I don’t have to clean up the mess I am not responsible for, and now I am reaping […]
I took a little break from Instagram and the blog for the past few weeks – probably it’s been almost a month. I don’t specifically follow U.S. news that closely on the regular, but the events from the past months have been shocking and heartbreaking to say the least. Rightfully, social media amplified them and I don’t think a single soul […]
Getting ahead at work – most often read as setting yourself up for a promotion – has something to do with your performance and a lot to do with your perceived performance. I will talk about how to prepare for and handle your promotion talk in an upcoming post. However, I think no matter how well you prepare for the talk […]
This week has been such a blessing, I mean who doesn’t love a three day work week and a four-day long weekend? We had such a good time relaxing, walking around the city and just soaking in the sun and the good weather – at least for the most part. Also, I am so proud of myself because I put […]
This week was more exciting than usual because the beautiful dresses I ordered from the Johanna Ortiz x H&M collection arrived. I already wore one for a walk around the block and I am obsessed with it – pictured below. On top of that, add that we had our first reasonably priced Michelin star meal – take out from a Thai […]
This is a perfect time for introspection, for digging a little deeper and finding out more about ourselves. What we like to do, what we don’t or what we’re good at. One thing that for a long time I lacked was not having a set of strengths “by the book”. I saw myself as a high performer but with good […]
It’s been another long weekend in Berlin, and I love it. April/May is the time when I enjoy working in Berlin as it’s when we have all the public holidays. The rest of the year is rather dry but I’ll take it. Even though I really enjoyed the weekend, I must say that I’ve also had quite a productive week. […]
Welcome to the first May Weekly Reads! I can’t believe that May is here already; it makes me think that we are almost halfway through the year whereas I barely felt the first four months going by. Oh, 2020, what a year to live in! Nonetheless, we’ve had a lovely long weekend and I am quite excited that the next […]
Welcome to this week’s Weekly Reads! I hope everyone is staying healthy and sane but also with a bit of motivation for going after your goals – whether they are career, fitness or lifestyle related. My work from home weeks are rather uneventful so there is nothing new to brag about, other than the fact that spring is in full […]
This week has been rather uneventful. I am happy to have managed to squeeze in quite a few workouts – four to be more precise – and that gives me hopes that I can be an active person again. We use the Beat81 online classes – I used to attend the classes offline and I have to say the guys […]
