It was a compromise I could cope with (in the U.K. most women take a year off work), so I returned when my daughter was 7 months old, a month later than expected due to childcare arrangements. In Your Decision? Living less than 20 minutes away from my job and finding a wonderful daycare a minute’s walk away from my office were huge reasons for me returning to work. I can’t think of one of my female friends or relatives that has returned to work full time, even after their year-long maternity leave ended. Not having any time to relax at the end of the day as I’m either catching up on work, making my daughter’s food for daycare the next day, or trying to cook something for dinner, has been incredibly hard and taken a toll on me.

I decided to create this blog back in 2014 when mildly obsessed by nail art, I would create elaborate nail designs to share with my readers. Feeling constrained by nail polish and no longer enjoying the time it would take to create a manicure, I decided to revamp my blog into a lifestyle site, where I could share everything that makes me happy in life. I currently live in Los Angeles so a lot of my posts will focus on life in LA, but I also love to travel, try new foods, and spend time with my beautiful baby girl and husband. I’m always open to hearing new tips and tricks to make life easier, so please feel free to add a comment or reach me via my social media accounts.
