New year's resolutions for 2015

2014 has been a great year. I had the opportunity of doing an internship in an international company where I learned a lot in topics related with marketing matters. I started a healthy life, losing weight and gaining more confidence on myself. I met new people, who gave me good experiences and good memories too and, the last but not least, I habe been working in my city, where I habe been able to enjoy living together with my family and friends.

So, for the next year, my new year's resolutions are to continue living in a healthy way (doing exercise and eating properly), to find a job more suitable to my creative skills, travel more, maybe even doing another internship abroad and to continue sharing great moments with my friends, family and other kind of people who I meet.

Before&Afer "see to believe"

I know I have this blog a little forgotten but like a purpose of "new academic year" (Although I am not in the university anymore), I am going to have my site more updated! I promise hahaha.

These months I have dedicated my time to study English (Like always), also social media, web analytic and marketing courses. Furthermore, I have done an important job hunt (In fact I am working since a few weeks ago in the pharmacy industry) but I continue looking for something more exciting and stimulating in the marketing field and even if I find a new job it is not a problem with my current position because I have the luck that I can combine both.

But today I want to write about a fact that have changed my life style. 

A few months ago, when I returned from my internship in Holland, I decided to change my diet habits and to practice more sport in order to have a better health and obviously, and more important to me in that moment, to lose weight. I didn't feel very well with myself... and I wanted to do something about, so since March I have lost around 27 kilos. However, I don't like to call it "to be on a diet", because honestly, I have eaten very well, a little bit of everything, even some caprices sometimes, but in a healthy way and the most important is that I have enjoyed doing exercise. 

Things that have helped me to my weight lost have been to eat dishes very yummy but healthy (I have learned a lot of them thanks to many accounts of healthy profiles in Instagram), doing exercise outside meanwhile I listened music, and the most important, enjoying the life!! Because, although I have been "on a diet", I have tried not to give so much importance to that, I mean, that was one part of my life, but I had other aspects that I wanted to enjoy like going out with friends, meeting new people, learning from my courses... there are so many things in your life and you cannot focus on a simple diet!!

My tip is that you need to have a healthy life for you own benefit but without fogetting the rest! Don't worry so much about it.. If you eat in a healthy way and practice sport regularly, the results come to you sooner or later.

And now, scroll down if you want to appreciate the differences between some time ago and now.

DID YOU MISS ME?

Hi people, I'm back! It has been a long time since my last post!! However, I have more free time now so I am going to continue improving my writting skills because as many of you know, this in one of the proposal of the blog, the other is to keep uptaded to the people who is away from me ;-)

I have just finished my internship in Drachten, the Netherlands, and now, as before, it's time to continue with my job hunt at the same time, of course, that I care about my English studies and other knowledges, like manage social networks or editing pictures among others.

So I hope to write more often and tell you almost everything that comes to my mind, hahaha. 

In this post I want to tell you as well that I have started a healthy life, you can follow my progress in my Instagram account (http://instagram.com/bea_myhealthylife) where I upload the healthy food that I eat and my weight loss with "selfie pictures" ;-), so encourage to do the same and let's share our experiences!!

Working in a startup!

Working in a project since the beginning, allow you to learn many different things through the way. I have to thank to Neopost for giving me this opportunity a few months ago. Neopost is located in Drachten, in the Netherlands, and it is the first supplier in Europe and the number two in the world in mailing solutions.

This year the company decided to start a new challenge... the introduction in the field of shipping and parcels, offering a new solution for e-commerce.

Due to this kind of companies is gaining more and more importance, Neopost is working in a new service for them, an automatic gift wrapping machine for they can provide to their customers personalized gifts wrapping.

My role in this project has to see with activities of market research, marketing campaigns, sales and customer relationships. First of all, I did a market research to see which are the most promising ones to introduce this kind of machine, then I contacted with a lot of companies and after getting some of them interested, I worked in marketing activities, doing, among other things, brochures, a website and some profiles in differents social networks sites.

I am very happy with this internship, I am learning a lot about editing tools, how to do a market research (or even a website), the best ways (and manners) to get in contact with potential customers and the last but not least is that I am improving a little bit more my English level, and all this, meanwhile I live in the Netherlands, in a country that I love since my Erasmus year.
