Menopausal Mondays

Self Talk I want only ONE easy-to-prepare, ready-to-enjoy festive package. One that includes Christmas family fun activities, small-sized traditional Christmas (Portuguese and Brit) that covers the lot: snacks, meals, drinks and desserts. No fuss, no mess, no arguments. And everybody’s happy. My patience is normally wearing thin by this time of the year. All IContinue reading “Menopausal Mondays”

The appeal of passive income

It’s misleading and overrated. We’re all being lead to think passive income is an easy way to an awful six-figures of free loading cash. Came across an article that sums it up nicely yesterday. It’s more trouble than it’s worth. I’d rather start a business the good old way and actually see things happening thanContinue reading “The appeal of passive income”

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”

Things that most overlook. A warm hug, a gorgeous sunset, a caring gesture. Our world nowadays is soContinue reading “it’s the little things”

The Pandemic kept us all away from our dear ones for far too long. I mean, it’s bad enough going through that living in the same country, let along when all your extended family members and friends are in different countries. But this is a new experience for me. I am meeting my best friendContinue reading “mitigating distance”

on holiday mode

We’re still at the airport security queues. Just joking! We eventually got to the beach. After all unpacking ( I realized I actually brought so much clothes that I don’t expect to wear any twice for the two weeks), and much needed commute recharge, we head to the beach as priority. My beach days haveContinue reading “on holiday mode”

7 Remote Work Recommendations

If you’re working from home (like me) then you’ll value anything that makes your life easier. Never before the expression “creature comforts”  was so well placed.  Going forward, you want to make sure you continue to be productive whilst working from home. This is the future and there is hardly a return from it, theContinue reading “7 Remote Work Recommendations”

Why do I like going to the Gym?

My 7 Motivations It may sound a little bit of a cliché but it is what it’s all about. Some choose to jog. Some prefer to walk (which I also do btw). Some need pets as an excuse (lol!). Others go to the gym. Some friends of mine have this idea that going to theContinue reading “Why do I like going to the Gym?”
