Magic that works
I have magical superpowers. Seriously. I say “Hey Google, turn on the rainbow”, and there’s a rainbow in my living room. A féerie of colors circles round the ceiling, reflecting in all my sequin pillows, crystals, and glitter decor. Imagine all the magicians who ever lived on Earth. How many of them would have dreamed…

What I learned about Tumblr so far
There’s a lot, and folks on Tumblr should probably know first. Here’s my summary I just posted there.

Art doesn’t need your self-loathing
I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but hating yourself isn’t necessary to create great things. Many of my friends believe that without their inner critic they’d fall back to laying on a couch and watching TV all day. They feel like they need to control and punish themselves to keep going. But…

Control is overrated
I recently wrote about the vicious cycle of dieting, binge eating, and yoyo, that had its grip on me ever since I remember. I only managed to escape it when instead of trying to control what I eat, I started listening to my body and watching it react to different kinds of food. If you…

How do you know it? When chatting with clients, I often think I wrote a perfect summary of what they just said, ask “Is this what is happening?”, and get a “lol, no. you got it all wrong”. Well, at least I found out 5 minutes into talking to them rather than 50. In the world…

Tumblr
My company Automattic just purchased Tumblr, another blogging platform. I wanted to check it out, and discovered I already have an account there I set up a few years ago as my trial homework at Automattic. After playing around with it for an hour, I love it a lot already. Looks like the perfect place…

Hey everyone, I am in Kosmos!
Not in outer space this time, but it’s pretty damn close. The Kosmos magazine I cooperate with just published a guided tour of my interactive smart home. If you look closely, you can see a small photo of me on the top. Kosmos is the voice of wisdom and empowerment I wish I had in…

Don’t expect me to share your passion
“So you’re telling me you don’t apply a hair mask even just once per week? Are you too busy to do this or simply too lazy?” A few months ago I wrote that this is what hairdressers always say to me. Just as I expected, it happened again. It’s funny how for the person who…

Hangin with the trees
There’s only one thing that regenerates me even more than hanging upside down in a hammock. It’s doing the same thing for the whole day, surrounded by trees, fresh air, and super cheerful dogs. Our yoga studio just organized an all-day open air workshop in a forest, and it was just amazing. Even though I’m…
