Based on a True Story
It’s official, Happy Fall everyone! The best season of the year is calling for some dark stories. These stories don’t come from a skilled writer or an amazing Director (though a good direction always helps), but from the spectacular, unique and crazy real life. These stories break our trust in the world, they make us wonder if the people we interact with daily could be a psychopath, a scammer, a liar or a current victim. I am talking about Documentaries! Documentaries don’t usually get my attention as much as traditional movies or shows. But once I start watching a documentary I stuck to it until the end…

How to Improve Your Financial Literacy
I hate maths. I really do…at least most of the time. But sometimes, when I understand them, I love them. Money always felt like maths to me: numbers related to a valuable coin. But money wasn’t a common topic of discussion in my social circle. Expressions like “Money is the root of all evil” stayed in my memory growing up, creating a negative accent around the subject.

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…

Good Morning and Happy Thursday! Today I bring something different that some of you could be interested in: Monthly Subscription Boxes! Years ago, a journalist decided to develop a business that delivered a book to avid reader’s houses. He named the Business “The Book of The Month” and that was the first subscription box. Since then, many other entrepreneurs saw an amazing business opportunity in bringing subscription boxes to people’s houses and save them the time and sometimes money in exchange for something they like. The most popular ones are of course the food subscription boxes. Everything related to food and health is going to have a passionate group of…

The Ultimate Trick to Achieve Everything in 2020
I bet you have proposed yourself to do a number of activities occasionally, only to end up quitting after a few days. Thoughts like “I am busy”, “I don’t have time” or “I’m not feeling motivated” always get in our way to learn new activities, get healthy and improve ourselves. And because of that, there are several solutions out there to try to fight this pattern. Some of them include downloading apps with reminders, writing them down on a calendar and even rewarding ourselves to something nice after we have done it. But even with all these things in place, we still fail to be consistent… It’s a shame because we all want…
