A little ABOUT ME

Hi there, friend! Thanks for visiting my corner of the internet! 

I’m Ella — part-time blogger, full-time cat lover, and freelance beauty enthusiast.

By day, I’m a PhD student in the field of organizational psychology studying how to make the workplace better - especially for women and underrepresented groups. After working as a corporate recruiter for several years, I decided to pursue a PhD in the hopes of combining my interest in research and teaching with my enthusiasm for productivity and wellness topics. I’m a big believer in working smarter, not harder, and that you can’t be your most productive self without taking care of your mental, physical, and emotional well-being first, so you’ll see a lot of those topics floating around here! On the weekends, you can usually find me cozied up in a coffee shop or binge watching reality TV shows with my partner, who begrudgingly puts up with my Bachelor addiction :) 

I started this blog in the hopes of finding a place to connect with people all around the world. It’s a place where I hope to share many of my life experiences, both the good and the bad, with those of you who may be experiencing the same things. Life's not always unicorns and butterflies, but my goal is to always find the life lesson and the humor in every situation. I'm excited to start this project and hope you'll enjoy reading along with me ❤️
