a second before I turn 30…

Yeah, I know, it’s been a while since I last wrote here. I’ve been so busy! It seems like it has been like a long and on-going tornado when I think about it.

A second before I turn 30 (this Friday if you’re really wondering), almost everything changed: I left my job at the law firm after 2.8 years, opened my own private business and started working at a part time job from home.

That’s a lot! I hope I didn’t go mad on this tornado. Its felt right, it felt like it was time, and it took me a long time to get there. I’m very happy.

So I work as a Director of Community at an internet company which makes work management software. It’s actually a very cool job: I do their SMO (Social Media Optimization), share their news, articles, blog posts, etc. on social networks and interact with the readers.

On the other part of the day I write for Haaretz about fashion and trends, and freelance for small and medium businesses as a new media consultant. I also write content, edit and translate.

I’m very happy with what I do now, and always trying to get more and better. I just need to learn how to manage my time better and I’m sure I’ll be on the go asap.

As for my fashion writing, I have a great idea that’s been building itself up for a couple of weeks now, and I’m meeting my editor tomorrow morning about it. I really hope she’ll like it, it’ll be great if I get to do it on the paper and here as well.

Tomorrow I’m being “kidnapped” by my boyfriend. He’s taking me somewhere for the weekend, and wouldn’t tell me where as a surprise for my birthday. I have no clue on where we’re going! I hope (and sure) I’ll like it. I wish I knew what to pack… I have so many guesses about the location, and neither is certain. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to wait till tomorrow then

Stay tuned,

xoxo,
