  • Her Time

    It is Saturday morning, barely 7am and I am awake. When I was younger – even just a few years back – I could never wrap my head around the fact that my mom wakes up so early on the weekends. Way before anyone else. While the rest of the house is still sleeping, she…

  • Turning 29

    Yesterday I turned 29. Old? Not sure! Happy? Definitely! To celebrate my birthday this year, Mike and I decided to hop on a plane and spend 3 days in Istanbul. Our last visit 4 years ago for Easter and we absolutely loved the crazy busy city, which is why we decided to come back for…

  • Where to next?

    The reality check of 2018 has come along a bit sooner than anticipated. Usually, December is crazy busy and then January follows on a much more quite note. Not this year. My agenda is filling up quickly and aside from a super busy 2 weeks, I have lots of incredible travels (some work-related, some private)…

  • Personal Goals [2018]

    I stopped making New Years Resolutions a while ago. Why? Probably because I am pretty happy with my life, work, love and everything in between. And while I don’t believe in putting too much pressure on the 31st of December, I do think that it is nice to have an excuse for a fresh start…

While I would consider myself a very non-judgemental person, I recently found myself being just that. Judgemental. I was at the office on…

  • work + travel.

    As much as I love the freedom of being my own boss and the option of working from home when I feel like it, I also know that I require certain parameters in order to be productive. One of the main reasons we decided to get an office 3 years ago was to have a…

  • HOW TO: bachelorette invites.

    One of the many perks of your best friend getting married (aside from finally splurging on that dream dress)? You can feature wedding-related content on the blog without actually getting married yourself or having to plan an entire wedding. It has been such a fun and exciting year to be by her side during the…

  • Invisalign Update #4

    Ohh it’s the final countdown! I am down to my last 5 Invisalign aligners and incase you have no idea what I am talking about right now, you can find all of the other “Invisalign Updates” here. It has been a little over 2 years since I started my Invisalign treatment here in Vienna with DDr….
