Why save it for the afterlife

Afterlife

What the Ancient Egyptians have with us in common

Did you know that the Ancient Egyptians believed in afterlife being perfect? My business friend Mrs F explained to me that they’d keep things in multiples.

Did you ever hear about Christmas in July? Yes, it’s a comedy movie from the 1940s (still haven’t watched it).

Beat jetlag this summer

Beat jetlag this summer

The last few nights have been a bit shorter than usual. No, it’s not because of a busy social life. Jetlag finally kicked in again.
