I’m so excited to share my Persian Owned Businesses Gift Guide with you today! In all my years of blogging, I’ve never actually posted a gift guide before. Maybe because it’s 2020—the most chaotic year ever—and keeping small businesses in mind, I felt it would be a good time to share one. What makes this so special though is that I’m sharing a part of my culture with you. My ethnicity is Iranian, and it means so much to me…
A couple months ago I turned to a new method of time management, time blocking. Managing my time is a must with everything I do daily. Some of that includes running my blog, freelance gigs, and various side hustles like EnVi mag and career coaching. As a woman with a very go-getter mindset I can overwhelm myself trying to get it all done! Sticking to a schedule helps a ton because I can become a really terrible procrastinator. I rely…
One of my go-to meals as of late has been spicy chicken taquitos. They’re so easy to make and extremely delicious! Taquitos are a small, rolled up tortilla dish from Mexico. Technically what I make are considered flautas because I use flour tortillas, but from my understanding the terms have become interchangeable over the years.

Or maybe you’re a recent graduate who can’t find a position without “years of experience.” I’ve been in all of those situations! In December of 2019, I was laid off from what I essentially thought was my “dream job”—a producer at Condé…
Every morning we open our eyes is an opportunity and we can choose to celebrate the day or let it drain us. Yes, society is systemically stacked against the majority, I’m not blindly pushing that fact aside. But that doesn’t mean we can’t work around our environments for our own benefit! I love ending a day knowing I tried to take a few steps forward for my future self. That could be by practicing an abundance mindset or following a…
I’ve been really lucky in my professional career as a video producer to work with a variety of talent, but the most memorable are definitely K-Pop Idols. The first group I ever worked with was NCT 127, who introduced me to the wonderful world of Hallyu and who I lovingly now stan! Since then, I’ve worked with Monsta X, Day 6, GOT7, and SuperM. After working with all these groups, I like to think I have a pretty good handle…
