This CEO Manages Her Business While Living Van Life Full-Time – Treehugger

A growing number of people are considering van life, but sometimes not for the reasons one might think. Though the skyrocketing cost of housing may be one reason why people might downsize into something more affordable. But for many, it’s not the only one.

Spain to be flooded with digital nomads and ChatGPT to threaten job security: Sifted predictions for European tech in … – Sifted

2022 has been a year of big changes for the European tech sector. While last year Sifted predicted that the market would cool off a little this year, no one anticipated that a war and an energy crisis would be hitting tech investment and result in a wave of layoffs across Europe.

The Sweet Reason Kim Basinger Says Ireland Baldwin’s Pregnancy Is “Like Mother, Like Daughter” – Yahoo Entertainment

When it comes to pregnancies, the apple does not fall far from the tree in Kim Basinger’s family.

On Jan. 4, the L.A. Confidential actress shared the special similarity she saw between her pregnancy with Ireland Baldwin and now Ireland’s own baby bump. Accompanying the post with separate sonograms, Kim wrote, “I know it’s hard to read…But in April of 1995, this was a note I wrote on one of my first sonograms of baby Ireland.”

“It said ‘4 white paws and a tail,'” she continued on…….

Exercise at home Weightlifting

You don’t need to spend hours in the gym to build functional muscle … – Fit and Well

You don’t need to live in the gym to build strength and muscle. This workout can be done at home with just a couple of dumbbells, hitting every major upper-body muscle group in 12 minutes. 

We like lifting with a set of the best adjustable dumbbells (opens in new tab) as they allow us to adjust the weight for each exercise to suit our strength level.

Even as I dread the day I’ll finally eclipse the age of 30, I am already well on my way to being a crotchety, craggy faced old cretin. I have dealt with random bouts of back pain from sleeping on many brick-like mattresses. I have tried some massage therapy to deal with these issues, but in all these years of spine-twitching pain, your average …….
