I want it all.

by Carlota Gregório / April 12, 2019

Reading Time: 3 minutes I think I changed my mind every two months when I was a child. My first ever dream job? Being a Gift-wrapper (I’m pretty sure there’s no such title) at a supermarket. I guess that if your parents allow you to wrap a few Christmas gifts when you’re a 6-year-old kid, it can be such an exciting and life-changing experience that you picture an entire career around…

by Carlota Gregório / October 5, 2017

Reading Time: 2 minutes I’m a huge Saturday Night Live fan, I binge watch their sketches like crazy. What makes it so incredibly perfect, is their ability to perfectly capture each nuance of the society we live in and satirize it by exaggerating every detail or cliché you can think of. Oh, satire… Isn’t it amazing?! Something that they do quite often – and quite well I must say – is…
