“Have 5 minutes back” is my biggest business-ick

Personalisation gone wrong 😅

Wow. I just realised that I now equate my internet experience being in Spanish by default as being HOME ❤️ Just had an odd sense of calm from seeing the google login page in Spanish after my week in the US 😅

Omg Liz Wilcox is calendar goals #craftcommerce

Amazing first talk of the day by @clayhebert.bsky.social at Craft + Commerce 👏🏻 Great stories. Clear takeaways. Vulnerability. Immediately applicable. #craftcommerce

Just tried to make a phone call by typing the number into my calculator app. How’s your day going?

Last Of Us season two is DEEPLY UNSATISFYING. Why is it deviating SO HARD from the game???

Watch the Config keynote with me and see my real-time reactions to the new features @figma.com just launched! youtu.be/DCRhx1HOKCk

I recorded my reactions to the Figma keynote. Not sure if there’s folks left who haven’t seen it yet and would want to watch along with me and hear my thoughts but figured why not upload it and see! Will share in the next few hours.

It’s Config week! Or for those of us not attending: it’s FOMO week 😅

My work day in timestamps (except it gets interrupted by the Spain-Portugal blackout…) 🔌

“I don’t care that it’s messy, I like your room!” - a ten year old’s thoughts on my office 😅

Less than 10 tickets to Craft + Commerce remaining. The path to 7 figures isn't in your content calendar.  It's in a room full of people who've already done it. Your next breakthrough happens in person. If you’re a creator who means business, join us. June 11-14th, 2025 Boise, Idaho

Do any other tech company brand team leaders out there ever get real sick of having to be the bad guy saying no to so many people’s requests for creative resourcing? Like we just cannot physically or logistically do it all but I still feel bad having to say no to people’s ideas.

I may not be able to have a stimulating conversation in Spanish, but I just successfully ordered a birthday cake and got the correct sized needles for my sewing machine through some back and forth so it’s a good day 🙌

Happy #memadeMay 🥰 This is one of the first few dresses I made, using Liberty fabric and the Rosery Apparel Pansy dress pattern.

This year is going by far too fast, but also I’m really looking forward to a summer filled with blue skies and beach trips 🥰

The one lovely part of the Spain blackout was seeing that our human reaction to having no power or internet is just to go outside. ☀️

Just played I Spy over walkie talkies with my friend’s ten year old for over an hour while driving in a convoy around the Scottish Highlands. And I think I had more fun than she did 😅

Something they don’t tell you* is that as you get fitter you actually crave movement instead of only viewing exercise as a chore. Wtf (*they probably did tell me but I absolutely wouldn’t have believed it)

I like to bring a sprinkle of chaos and fun to every cross-functional meeting I’m a part of

When you’re speaking on the phone to someone in Spanish and ask them to speak a little slower, and they don’t just immediately switch to English instead 🥺

I’ve decided 2025 is going to be the year I get my first car and in my research I’ve gone from “just get something cheap” to “why not pay extra to have pastel green paint on this brand new EV” real fast. 🙃 Also. I’m very overwhelmed. There are too many options.

What if I just filmed a cosy q&a video sitting in the park with a nice blue sky and maybe some birds tweeting and minimal editing, for folks to listen to in the background podcast-style? Would you watch something like that?

Let me tell you the story of my first ever hackathon experience at the @kit.com Create Week retreat. It's a story with highs and lows, and also crocodiles 🐊🤷🏻‍♀️ Hope you enjoy it! youtu.be/I6UBcXggs1A

Someone was just able to log in to my BA account (which used a unique password) and change the email address. Not sure if there’s been a leak/hack of BA but if you get a “the email address on your account has been changed” notification, don’t ignore it!

Eeee I’m exporting a new video and I’m so excited to share it! I’ve easily spent like 30+ hours on the production of this one. Absolutely not efficient as a long term business strategy. But my goal right now is to enjoy creating again, and I SO enjoyed this process 🙌

The millennial urge to “treat yo self” as a stress response.

Me when someone is passive aggressive to me.

Dreaming of having a house with a pool and space to park a car and being the friend who’s like “let’s go for a hike” or “come read by the pool whenever you want”

It’s amazing how much a few good tunes can lift my mood. And it’s amazing how I never remember this. 😅

Love leaving comments of praise and agreement in my team mates strategy docs, not just questions/concerns. Cos I know when I write docs it’s just as helpful to know what fires people up as it is to know what I missed/what needs clarifying.

Piastri slooooowly backing his car off the grass to stay in the race and ending in the points is peak “don’t give up” energy. #f1

Adolescence on Netflix. Wow. Now I want a “making of” to see behind the scenes of how they did it!!

Big “don’t fuck with me” energy

I’ve become such a Slack voice note girlie this year. Loving using it to quickly talk through something for the recipient to listen to when they’re free. Saves getting on a call but you still get the benefit of the nuance of hearing directly from someone rather than interpreting tone in writing.

Unpopular opinion: Karma by Jojo Siwa kinda slaps

Very excited about how the YouTube video I’m currently working on is turning out! It’s a story time video about my experience at the @kit.com Create Week hackathon and I’m loving piecing together clips from the week. (Don’t expect it to be uploaded for another week at least)

Booked a car rental on a small Scottish island and the terms say that the rental contract may be cancelled if they have concerns about intoxication or “lack of talent” and idk why that phrasing is so funny to me 😅

Happy “all my meetings are an hour earlier” week to my fellow Europe-based folks working for a US company 🙌

Tried making sushi at home for the first time and OMG why did I wait so long to try this!!

ChatGPT is not a search engine nor a research database. Y'all need to stop treating it that way. You have to verify everything it tells you.

Happy love is blind wedding episode day to all who celebrate

Halp I fell into the luxury handbag algorithm and I’ve influenced myself into wanting a Hermes Birkin 😅

Running the 10kfem in Valencia on Sunday was a BLAST. I never thought running could be that fun. So proud to have done it, and honoured to have run it with these lovely ladies!

What a privilege that it’s a Thursday morning & I’ve had coffee with friends after a workout class then bumped into another friend while doing errands. I don’t know if I could go back to a 9am start time for work. Mornings filled with movement, connection and hobbies are too valuable!

My performance review: “She has been an excellent partner to the company throughout a lot of change and is an ally to everyone at the company, at any level, and in many selfless ways that usually don’t show up on her performance review.” Me: 🥹😭 Don’t know if I’ve ever felt more seen by a manager!

I haven’t been to the local kebab place for probably a whole year, and yet as soon as I walked in the owner knew my order. Impressive! (Or does it just show how often I used to come here… 😅 probably both!)
