The Pearl Obsession
I’ve been sitting at my workbench, looking at a handful of unsold necklaces and asking myself the same question over and over: Why are these still here? And the honest, simple answer is: they don’t have

The Best Business Meeting I Have Every Day Is With Myself
Some time ago, I came across a TikTok video that suggested having weekly executive meetings with yourself. The idea was simple: if you can't run the most important company you'll ever own—yourself—how

From Trash to Pure Luxury
I went to the Torremolinos flea market today, and while the selection was pretty slim, I also made a rookie mistake: I dressed far too nicely. The sellers immediately started quoting me ridiculous prices.

Reloved
It has finally become clear to me that I don't have a skill issue when it comes to jewelry. I have a visibility issue. Vinted is really working against me. Some of my pieces sell in a minute. Others take

Who's Really Walking Whom?
I've been wondering whether I'm actually taking Mariano for walks, or if he's the one taking me for walks. At this point, our system is pretty simple: he decides where we go. Last night, I really didn't

Midnight Realizations
The past couple of days have been an absolute goldmine of realizations. The first one is simple. My life is so much better now that Mariano lives with me full-time. He makes my life better in ways I didn't

A French Word That Led Me Down a 600-Year Linguistic Rabbit Hole
I was doing my daily French lesson on Duolingo when it suddenly slapped me with a new word: tante. I recognized it immediately because in Finnish we have the word tantta, which refers to an uptight,

The Poison Disguised as Food
Yesterday was Sunday, and I was feeling lazy. I simply didn't feel like cooking for myself. Instead, I found myself craving pizza. If you're on a gluten-free diet, you already know how difficult it is

The Hyperfixation That Unlocked Narcissistic Personalities
I saw a TikTok video a while back asking people to share what they are deeply obsessed with. As a neurodivergent person, this resonated with me instantly. We tend to hyperfixate on a subject until we know

I really can't explain it, or why it is, but I am just so incredibly attracted to upcycling. There is something so joyful about taking an object that has a ton of potential (whether it’s high-quality pearls

As summer was creeping in, I started analyzing Vinted. I was especially curious about what kind of jewelry sells on the platform. I have plenty of it at home, but I hadn’t been listing any because, well,
