A health(y) investment
“Menopause: when the fire inside you matches your ambition.” Keeping a healthy weight in a Mediterranean culture meant keeping a well-rounded body. When I stayed at my grandparents for the holidays, they would think a good set of chubby cheeks meant good health; it meant we were well-nourished. All a reflex of their life experience,Continue reading “A health(y) investment”
30+ Still with Mum and Dad
Surely like many of you, I’m part of some groups on themes of personal interest. Every so often I see a post that triggers me. I might be about to sound quite harsh for some, but as I’m old school AND still hold some of those old views, that won’t stop me 😂 I’m sorry…Continue reading “30+ Still with Mum and Dad”
Personal Spring Clean
Menopause is just puberty’s older, wiser sister. What better (brighter) season in the year will enable us to see things at their clearest? Being a little OCD, I consider it quite a satisfying task 😁 Going through this relatively new phase of my female life made me re-evaluate it.

A new beginning Things happen for a reason. It’s funny how we tend to put pressure on ourselves to be high achievers, when we’re doing just fine, compared to the new generation. A year ago I started a tee and mug online business on Shopify. I decided to give it a go. My theme wasContinue reading “Nostalgic Mumma”
The Wordcraft Blog Letter #7
People Mean Business “Companies need to nurture their employee’s individual nature for them to feel confident in their role, as it will empower them, hence making them more productive. It works from the inside out.” Remote Work In case you missed it… It has been a while since I scanned through the world of remote/hybridContinue reading “The Wordcraft Blog Letter #7”
There’s more to life than work
I sometimes find myself getting too stressed about work. The corporate world can be harsh and doesn’t truly empathise with our personal life. Managers keep pushing us to achieve goals and to progress in our careers, but the way that they do it leaves us feeling like if we don’t present objectives we run theContinue reading “There’s more to life than work”
The Wordcraft Blog Letter #6
The Power of Empathy “It is important to clearly detach from all other similar forms of advertising” Mind promenade It’s been a while. This last month, for the first time (luckily after three jabs) I caught Covid. I hoped I could be one of those rare cases of immunity, special enough to remain untouched.
