If you're single and wondering if something's wrong with you, keep reading. It might just be the timing is not right for you to meet someone... Continue Reading →
In November 2019, I was packing my things to travel in Southeast Asia & the Pacific. I needed a break from everything: work, life, routine... At first it was only a dream but then it became reality: my fiancé and I had a solid plan! Bearing in mind that even the most robust plan should... Continue Reading →
A goal without a plan is a dream. We all have dreams... But how many of them turn into reality? That's right, unless it's planned, it's unlikely to happen. You could argue they could come true on their own, but I wouldn't rely on luck too much these days. I'm a big dreamer myself, I... Continue Reading →
There is a French proverb that says: "Pour vivre heureux, vivons cachés", which would translate as follows: "To live happily, live discreetly". I think it's fair to say social media does the exact opposite of that. Earlier this year, I deleted my personal Facebook and Twitter accounts. The only reason I didn't delete my Instagram...

Several countries in the world have been going through multiple lockdowns this year due to the pandemic, taking away people's freedom by limiting social gatherings (among other things).

First of all, Happy Halloween!! On this occasion, I wanted to talk about the fact that black cats suffer from discrimination and are more likely than others to be left at the shelters... How can some people make decisions based on nothing else but a colour? Carved pumpkin + Black cat = Perfect Halloween picture... Continue Reading →
This post is a bit emotional for me because it takes me back to exactly 8 years ago. I remember very well that day, 26th October 2012, when I moved from Paris to London. My boyfriend at the time was transferred to London with work while I was dreaming of going back to Australia, where... Continue Reading →
Only 2 months until Christmas! But this post isn't about telling you how excited I am about it. It's just a post highlighting how 2020 was wasted so far... To a point I didn't realise how quickly we ended up so close to Christmas already! I don't want to waste any more time, time we'll... Continue Reading →
"Do you want kids?" is not a question you hear very often, because people assume that of course you do. Instead, people say: "When you'll have kids...", "When you'll be a mum/dad...", etc. Every time it puts me in a situation where I either stay quiet and let go, or say that I actually don't...

We've all been impacted one way or another by the pandemic this year... When it all started, I thought the world would be in crisis for maybe 6 months and then quickly recover from it. When I came back to London in April, I was convinced my fiancé and I would be able to get... Continue Reading →
Last Saturday was World Mental Health Day, I couldn't think of a better time to watch the documentary The Social Dilemma. Social media has started to show a negative impact on people at many levels way before the pandemic started. This is a very interesting film to watch as it gathers several former employees from...
