Skilled Trades are Back!

I’m loving the news I’m coming across lately. Finally we’re starting to see a career rewind ๐Ÿฅณ Our society was begging for a more ruthless shift in global future professional framework. It was about time we headed back to the drawing board! To slower and happier days for the younger generations ๐Ÿฅ‚

Menopausal Mondays

Self Talk ” I’m exhausted.” I try and stick to all the right things on autopilot, so I don’t have to make choices (or wrong ones). It helps me stay on track. Some days it works, others require a bit more effort. I reckon that if I’ve got the healthy food and exercise plan right,Continue reading “Menopausal Mondays”

Going non-social?

There are perks. I never liked overlooking windows in my back garden. My idea of sharing on social platforms was always to keep connected with family and people I already knew. Yes, admittedly, there is some degree of nosiness, but in a healthy way, at least from my part. Several years followed with a lotContinue reading “Going non-social?”

On the “bubble-wrap” gens

I am not looking for clicks or followers writing about this topic (unless what I write entertains your thinking). As many of us do, I find writing therapeutic; it helps me make sense of the world around me. And I’m sorry, as much as I’d like to keep up with new ways of reasoning, IContinue reading “On the “bubble-wrap” gens”

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚ I’m sorry…Continue reading “30+ Still with Mum and Dad”

Personal Spring Clean

Menopause is just pubertyโ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜ Going through this relatively new phase of my female life made me re-evaluate it. Menopause (and I guess andropause too)Continue reading “Personal Spring Clean”

Mumma’s Menopausal Journey

“Menopause is not an ending; itโ€™s a powerful new beginning.” I believe I started my perimenopause about 4 years ago. I was 44. The brain fog was my trigger. It became more present as days went by. I realised it when I started forgetting things I had no problem recalling before. Brain fog (yes) –Continue reading “Mumma’s Menopausal Journey”
