When you’ve been conditioned all your life to believe that you’re not skinny enough, you need to eat less, no junk food, or you’re reminded that your thighs got bigger every time you visited your parents…it can really take a toll on your self esteem. I have a separate private insta account that I use…
Out of all the cities I stayed in, I spent the least amount of time in Nice. Why? Well there wasn’t too much to do that wasn’t sunbathing or shopping. I didn’t care much for either of those activities so I only spent a full day in Nice. I ended up taking half a day…
Marseille was the only city that I didn’t explore extensively on foot (or by bike). Instead, I went to specific places by car, chauffeured around by a friend I made from HelloTalk. HelloTalk is a language learning app where you talk to real people, as opposed to Duolingo in which you learn phrases and words…
What is microblading? Microblading is similar to eyebrow tattoos. The biggest differences are that microblading inserts pigments under your skin rather than ink, and is semi-permanent rather than permanent. Microblading is also a newer form of semi-permanent makeup and it ends up looking more natural since artists use a hand-held tool that have fork tines-looking…
Toulouse was probably one of my favorite cities. There weren’t as many tourists in September and it’s a small enough town that getting around on foot was really easy. I stayed somewhat near the city center, so as soon as I walked out the front door, I was on a cobblestone street with tons of…
Bordeaux was the first city of 9 that I was visiting on my epic semi-solo France trip. I stayed at an Airbnb near Gare St. Jean, and thankfully only needed to walk a short distance. I had a 25 inch suitcase that I didn’t fancy dragging around, marking me as a tourist. After getting myself…
You have a public Instagram account and can’t control who follows you. You get a notification and realize with dread that someone you don’t want to follow you, has clicked on that button. I mean, s/he could see your profile anytime, but now your posts appear on his/her feed. Do you have followers that you…
I was first writing the blog post about tips on a great resume. (You can read all about that here.) Then cover letters came up and I figured it would be best to write a separate post. Otherwise, that other post will be super long! So you might be wondering whether you should include a…
I’m currently trying to build my career in HR / Recruiting and spent the last 2 years or so working as an in-house full-cycle recruiter. That just means that I work for a single company doing the whole shebang when it comes to sourcing, interviewing, coordinating, and onboarding candidates. Though I don’t have as much…
Hello hello! My workout schedule changes pretty frequently because I try to revamp my routine every couple months or so. Or because I get lazy and don’t end up following my schedule. There are no rest days in my routine because there are days when I don’t feel like going to the gym or it’s that…
