A friend of mine posted this article on Social Media today, and as I read it, I can’t help myself from sharing it. Not only because it is wonderfully witty and well written … but also, because it’s true! The article is in fact a letter from a Hogwarts graduate, complaining about his lack of employability, and thus inability to […]
The internet had a collective orgasm the other night. As I am pretty sure everyone knows, photos of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt that are so wonderful (but also wholesome, look who we’re talking about here) were taken at the SAG awards – so much so that if you weren’t careful, you’d think we were somehow back in 2005. The […]
Toxic relationships are the worst. Sadly, most of us have had to deal with toxic people in our lives, in way way or another. It could be a parent, a sibling, a friend or a coworker. According to HealthScope: “a toxic relationship is a relationship characterized by behaviors on the part of the toxic partner that are emotionally and, not […]
Like so many people out there, I love Star Wars. I remember watching the movies as a kid with my dad, dreaming of going out on space adventures, kicking ass with Princess Leia and often wondering why Luke was such a whiny brat ( love you Mark Hamill!). Most of the new Star Wars movies have been big events for […]
For those of you who know me or follow me on social media, you know that for the last few months, I’ve really started to get into yoga, and more specifically hot yoga. I do love working out in general, swimming, hiking, going to the gym (former Crossfitter here! Miss it!) – all of it! But I found that hot […]
Week 1 – January 18 – 24 2019 (Note: to refer to the introduction to this posting, please scroll down. It’s just below this week 1 update) So I really didn’t choose the right day as my first day for the fast. I had to take a very early train into Lausanne and then Geneva to get some tax papers. […]
About two years ago, when I was halfway through my novel, I attended a fiction writing masterclass hosted by the Geneva Writers Group. I’d been part of the group for a few years, but had never actually attended a master class before. But when I saw such a well-known writer coming in – he’d written books and wrote for a […]
It has recently come to my attention that many of us are idiots when it comes to our goals (yes, I’m the biggest idiot of them all because this just came to my attention recently). I’m speaking mostly about women here, but this also applies to intelligent, hard-working men as well. We find ourselves stupefied when we see how some […]
I love gossip blogs. Seriously, they give me life. They are so much fun – reading the ins and outs of the rich and famous, it’s a fun escape, and it’s my guilty pleasure. However, I’m very careful about the blogs I read. Some are simply sexist cess pools, others are just stupidly written and annoying. But some, the magical […]
We all know that plastic takes many lifetimes to decompose (if at all), and that it is now posing a serious threat to our environment. Both the WWF and Greenpeace have campaigns regarding the dangers of plastic, and we read about it more and more in the media. So most of us, at least, are aware of the problem. With […]
