I help fellow clueless young (or less young) adults who haven’t been taught practical life skills for whatever reasons. I started this blog because I love to teach what I’ve learned and I’ve always had this big sister vibe. I also started it to make more money on the side and because I actually love writing.

After the Covid pandemic I moved permanently to the Philippines and got married. I was in my early twenties. So I had to face two major changes : from life with super supportive parents to life as a maîtresse de maison (means I’m in charge of my own home now) and from growing up in a nice country with good conditions to living in a much poorer country with a seriously big difference in lifestyle and income.

It was not my first time in the Philippines so I kind of knew what I was getting into. I knew it was going to be harder than living in France but I felt ready. And oh boy I was not.
I had to learn to take care of things little by little : how to do laundry efficiently, how to plan meals and eat correctly, how to clean my house, how not to get sick in this vastly different environment. I figured out some things on my own with experience, I had to research the rest extensively, and some things came from having deep conversations with older adults in my life who had faced similar problems.

Over the years I’ve accumulated all this knowledge from various sources and it has make my life much easier. That’s what I want to share here.

So think of me as your big sister and let’s get into it !
