Moods Are More Contagious Than Viruses
Nothing is Neutral I have seen people die. Not because their hearts stopped beating, or because their bodies quit functioning. I have seen people die, or perhaps the best word would be “disappear” because at one point I looked at them and couldn’t recognise who they were anymore. Their personality hadn’t just changed. It had transformed into a character I hadn’t met before. I have looked at someone I knew for years and noticed how their entire identity seemed to belong to a different person. I have listened to them talking yet all I could think was: who the hell are you? Personality changing isn’t a great deal. We can…

Audiobooks VS Books
I had finished listening to one of the “No. 1 Sellers” on Amazon. One of those that are recommended in every Social Media platform by every influencer that reviews books. I had nothing else to do and the feeling of “whatever” that this story had left on me wasn’t leaving anytime soon. My biggest motivation to choose that specific title wasn’t the synopsis, it wasn’t the genre and definitely wasn’t the front page image. It was the over 10k positive reviews on its Amazon page. I decided to check the number of copies that a book needs to sell to become a Bestseller. The results of my (very simple) research were:…

There We Go 2022!
Happy New Year! I thought I would come back to this secret cave of content to wish all of you a Happy New Year and share some thoughts about the upcoming 2022. Every 30th of December I like to sit down with a cup of hot chocolate and make a review of my entire year. I go through all of the Resolutions I wrote down with a bittersweet feeling. I convince myself that I could have done better and try to come up with the reason why I didn’t. I think about my motivations and purposes, the reasons why I wrote them down on paper so that I can understand…

Welcome To The Season Of Movie Nights
If there is one thing that makes us feel like we are almost back to normal is the release of multiple movies and shows. It has been a long wait since we had the opportunity to watch another season of our favourite sagas. The beginning of autumn (AKA the best season of the year) has launched new trailers for upcoming TV Shows that we can excitingly add to our list of “Things to wait for”. If you love spending your weekend evenings cooking mug cakes and drinking mulled cider immersed in a story, check out this update and let me know if I am missing something! 1- Maid …

Financial Mistakes I Made in My 20s (And Still Make)
I opened the fridge, ready to cook a delicious dinner with fresh ingredients that I would later soak on sriracha sauce for extra flavour. A plastic bag of kale was getting most of my visual attention, but something behind it got my eye. A small box of eggs. I grabbed the box with caution not to drop it and, to my regret, I saw the expiration date. With two expired eggs and fear of getting salmonella, I decided to throw them away. And I experienced a déjà vu. “I have been here before”, I thought. But I wasn’t sure when. A few days before something similar happened with a pack…

Sweet Tooth In Tallinn?
After a few days in Estonia’s main city, I decided to discover some cosy cafes to spend part of my free time working and enjoying a cup of local coffee. In London, I always visit my nearest Starbucks for a regular Soy Latte. When it comes to getting a nice place to sit down and get things done, London coffee places can be a real challenge due to the amount people that visit them every day. In quiet Tallinn the story is different. I almost always succeeded in finding a table for myself. However, something I didn’t expect at all was the lack of Starbucks. Love it or hate it,…
