About Me

Greetings my fellow earthlings!

Welcome to the most extraordinary blog you will ever read, featuring yours truly, Veronica. (my people call me Vera). I am your friendly neighborhood Millennial who grew up on the edge of the Gen X era. I was born in Southeastern Europe, a land where old traditions meet Wi-Fi struggles. Where mom’s homemade recipes collide with fast food cravings, everyone has an opinion about your life choices and family dinners sound like scenes from a chaotic sitcom.

I consider myself an average professional because I have had several jobs that have nothing to do with each other, such as being a former hotelier and a corporate worker. One of the many jobs I had was custodian of the company newsletter. It was then that I discovered that I could do more than just be the captain of multitasking or a wizard. Slowly, I began to love writing, creating and not only arranging fonts and colors in a Word document.

This blog is a rant about lifestyle, career, relationships or lack thereof, adulting adventures, couture colliding with calamity, mismatched socks and sweatpants, gen-x and millennials and everything in between, shower thoughts and all things fabulous. NOT a fashion blog…I repeat…. NOT a fashion blog. I am not a fashionista, but I do love trends. So, if you are looking for fashion tips: stylish sneakers and flowy outfits are my runway looks.

Now, in the exciting realm of adulthood, I’ve mastered the art of pretending to have my life together while secretly googling “how to adult” on a daily basis. Join me as I navigate bills, taxes, and the existential dread that comes when I realize I’m expected to be a responsible member of society. Spoiler alert: I still haven’t figured it out.

And you might be wondering, why there is no photo of me on this blog. Well, let me spin you a tale that’s equal parts comedy and logic. You see, I’ve contemplated gracing my blog with my stunning visage, but then I thought, “Why subject the world to such overwhelming beauty all at once?” I mean, there are safety concerns here.

Additionally, I have this peculiar condition called “Camera-Induced Awkwardness Syndrome” (CIAS for short). Every time a camera appears, my face automatically contorts into what can only be described as a blend of consternation and surprise, making me look like a bewildered squirrel caught in the headlights. It’s not a pretty sight, let me tell you. Then, of course, there’s the mystery factor. Why reveal my true identity when I could be anyone? I could be a genius billionaire philanthropist (without the billions, charm, or athleticism, but who’s counting?) or a secret agent on a covert mission to save the world one witty blog post at a time. The possibilities are endless!

As we approach the grand finale of this unremarkable tale, one thing is abundantly clear – I am the epitome of average, with a PhD in sarcasm and a knack for finding humor in life’s disappointments. So, dear readers, prepare to be underwhelmed, mildly amused and possibly even mildly disappointed. After all, in a world full of extraordinary stories, mine is, well, just another story – told with a heavy dose of sarcasm and a pinch of self-awareness. Stay tuned for more tales of mundane exploits and lackluster achievements. So remember: when life gives you lemons, just add a touch of sarcasm and grimace, because let’s be honest, lemons are pretty sour.
