Blog Till you Drop!

In memoriam

Moi et Mamé – Avril 2006

 Sadly my grandma passed away on Tuesday aged 85. She survived 2 cancers but was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2000. Her condition deteriorated last week. She was an amazing businesswoman, mother and grand-mother and will be greatly missed.  

Tu vas me manquer ma petite Mamé…

 

The magical W list

 

The W list or the Magical List as some have called it, is a way for women to celebrate women. I was extremely surprised to find out that out of the 150 blogs on the Todd’s Power 150 Marketing Blogs, only 13% are written by women.

 

Valeria Maltoni started collecting links of blogs written by women and the W list was born! Needless to say, the W list getting bigger and bigger by the minute! The full list can be found here on our wiki the W Magical List of Women Bloggers.

Light at the end of the tunnel…

 

 

Something a little more personal today… I came back from a wonderful holiday in Italy this week only to face some radical changes in my life.  

My boyfriend David and myself have decided to go separate ways… David is a talented aspiring photographer and we will still be working together on his website. Stay tuned as I’ll be posting a link to his flickr account and website very soon.   

Secondly, I decided to leave my company yesterday as I did not feel fully satisfied with my current role. So yes I am back on the market! If you’re looking for a multilingual quallie/planner More >

Mine’s half full!

C.B Whittermore recently tagged me in her post Half Full or Half Empty? Christine asked me to answer the following questions: 

1. How full is your glass?

2. What kind of glass is it?

3. What’s in the glass?

4. Reasons for #1, #2 and #3 

  • My glass is always half-full and I’d also like a top up please! Mind you, if we talk about champagne, it tends to be half empty

  • It took me a while to choose a mug as they all mean something different to me, and were acquired at different stages of my (short!) life. Besides, tea-time is a tradition More >
