During the beginning of this year, I left my job in the Account Service team at a full service creative agency, and now do communications for a striving Australian startup. It was a scary but exciting transition, and for me it was one of the best things to happen. The environments are extremely different despite the workplaces being only two streets apart. Where I work now there is more than double the amount of employees but a healthy mix of of genders, ethnicities, and age

Five years ago, if you asked me what I wanted to be in five years, my answer would have been almost completely different. I had been dating my fiancé for a few months, I was moving from a semi-strict Catholic high school to an open-minded performing arts high school on a full academic scholarship, and I met with the unavoidable question: where is my life heading? As a child I wanted to be a performer. When I became invested in the news growing up I wanted to be a humanitaria

I work in the cosy suburb of Surry Hills, adjacent to the busy Sydney CBD. But I live an hour and a half away by bus, or an hour away by car during peak traffic. Needless to say, the morning commute can be quite difficult at 8am. Without a coffee in hand, and some pump up tunes from my Sudio Vasa Bla Wireless Earphones, I can succumb to the desire to doze off. As the commute is long, I try stay away from my Mercedes C180 before I hike up my kilometres too quickly. But then I

Today I wanted to share my new desk at work! I work in an advertising agency where the office looks like it was made on Pinterest, and the space just allows ideas flow through without restraint. I thought it would be a good idea to share what my work desk looked like, so you can all get a glimpse of some of the bits, and pieces that help me along my day! Be share to send snaps of your work desk, or home office desk via Snapchat to @bernice1211 so I can see! Buy the pieces: Ai

Dressing for work can sometimes be so difficult. In corporate, there's all of these types of clothes, and aspects of clothes that aren't allowed. Distressed jeans? No. Low cut tops? No way. Runners? Think again? Work out clothes? You better just turn around home, and get changed. I've teamed up with Fashion Nova, and Linzi Shoes to pick out a fashionable, work appropriate outfit. You see, working for a corporation doesn't mean you have to wear bland clothing, and isn't fashio

To celebrate yet another mouthwatering collaboration between Messina and Wonderbao, Deliveroo gave me a great opportunity to treat my new coworkers to my favourite burger joint in Sydney: Brooklyn Depot. The main event: MESSINA Eats WONDERBAO held in Rosebery, NSW! It is a two day pop-up event where two damn good food vendors cause crowds to flock over to try their best food. Messina from Melbourne has been cooking bad with pork belly, fried chicken and fried tofu. There is a

Exciting news! After two weeks of applications, interviews, and lugging around my portfolio to various offices around the city, I have signed my contract at my new job! I am happy to announce that I am now the Account Coordinator at Play Communications. I feel so ecstatic at the new opportunities, and possibilities that await me! My first day is tomorrow, with my outfit ready and freshly steamed hanging in my closet. Now just to count down the minutes until I can happily walk

This week I reached a fork in the road. For a year now I have been working as a Digital Account Executive for an Search Engine Optimisation boutique agency in Sydney while studying full time at university, and balancing the events and hectic schedule of a social media influencer. It has been easy, and I have become comfortable with my life. Too comfortable. I do not want to be complacent with the life that I have, nor do I want to get up in the morning and not feel an electri
