Happy (late night) Thursday everyone! This week has been crazy. I was swamped with my school work, freelance work, and part-time work. The good news is - I have started my first day at LUSH. So yay! In this week’s episode of Room 201, I share my LUSH experience, the 4 archetypes of customers, and what does it take to curate a great customer experience for shoppers. Enjoy! 

Happy Thursday everyone! This week in Room 201, I talk about my experience of going to live theatre again (I watched The Boy With Two Hearts - it was wonderful), how am I coping with post-pandemic anxiety when things are slowly opening up, and things I picked up in the past 1-2 year of lockdown.

It’s another Thursday, folks! This week has been quite eventful for me. In this week’s episode of Room 201, I share about going to Treforest for the first time, landing a job at LUSH, journaling outdoor, watching YOU S3 and Hometown Cha Cha Cha over the weekend as well as my struggles with consistency.

Happy Thursday folks! In this week’s episode of Room 201, I get curious about the museum industry - do they exhibit replicas instead of the real original work? I also talk about making friends as an adult, five levels of communication in our daily lives, and how to navigate small talks.

Happy Thursday everyone! I’m finally done with my isolation. So yay for me! In this episode, I share about shopping for groceries physically, fixing a hot shower, zero-sum theory, crab mentality and how might we overcome this. 

In this pilot episode of Room 201, I share about the problem of calling something a side gig, how I tried to quit my job 3 times, my love for tacos, and why we never do something we are proud of when we are in our comfort zone.
