About
Hello! I am Maria Mikaela, the author of this blog. I am passionate about beauty skincare, products and devices to try at home that help with anti-ageing. Moving alone to London as a teenager and Zurich in 30s made me more aware of clutter and ways to live a more calm and organized life. I worked in finance all my life and share tips on managing personal budgets, growing money through investment or extra income, and, of course, the biggest part of that is ways to save. I am over 40, living between Zurich and London with my family.
Any questions or collaborations – send me a message!
