It’s no secret by now that I absolutely love sharing good shows, movie and book recommendations. If you follow me on snapchat (michaelabear1), you might have seen my currently series where every second week I share things that I’ve recently came across and loved, in hopes that you guys can enjoy them too! One of my pet peeves is sitting down to watch a movie at night and having no idea what to watch! I mean, I’m sure I’m not the only one who actually spends more time scrolling through Netflix than watching the actual movie? So I wanted to share 10 movies that I absolutely loved in hopes that maybe you mightn’t have seen some of them and could be in for a treat!  Continue Reading

Happy Hump Day Guys! Some of you might have seen on my Instagram and Snapchat (Michaelabear1) that this has already been quite an exciting week at work. On Monday I had a very exciting meeting at Instagram to talk about different strategy ideas and what’s to come from the brand. Honestly I left the meeting with the BIGGEST grin on my face! It totally reminded me why I really love social media and the analytics behind it. The highlight of the day was of course meeting Eva Chen, a woman whose career I’ve admired for years (did you know she used to work at Teen Vogue?) She was every bit as intelligent and stylish as I was expecting. Then yesterday I got to work with Jessica Alba (pinch me). Obviously I’ve always loved watching her in movies but I had no idea what a phenomenal business woman she is. She had so much wonderful advise for young women starting out their career and not only that, she was SUCH a babe! Honestly I think the thing I love most about my job, is the opportunities I get to meet such amazing women who prove that being hard working and believing in yourself can get you places!

Happy Thursday everyone! It’s been a great week so far, coming back from my mini trip to Boston and having a short work week has me feeling well rested and a little more inspired than usual. When I did my survey a couple of weeks ago, many of you were eager to know more about my career path and my job at Teen Vogue so I wanted to give you guys some background as to how I got where I am today and the whirlwind journey it’s been. I touched on this topic briefly before in my Tips For Finding Your Dream Job post but I wanted to give you guys a little more detail today!

So I know I’ve been back in the New York groove now for nearly two weeks so this post may seem a little late, but if I’m honest it took me a while to be able to sit down and actually comprehend how I feel about being back in the big city. I was home for two whole weeks over Christmas which was such a treat (did you see my latest vlog about it?) If you guys follow me on snapchat (michaelabear1), you’ll know that every year I literally start looking forward to my Christmas trip home in like, September! It’s funny, sometimes I think being away has given me a whole different appreciation for life at home in Ireland. People are just so friendly and warm and there’s something about being around your own people that makes you feel right at home, not to mention the beautiful Irish countryside and sights that I TOTALLY took for granted when I lived there!
