ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 11 | AN OLD FRIEND
As life goes on, we move on and leave some moments behind, in those moments are people who mattered at one point or other in our lifetimes. I am not a fan of looking back in regret but fond memories often pepper our present and they bring people to mind whom we have forgotten but…

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 10 | THE WATCH LIST
Where are all the vanilla hot men for the Christmas movies?! I must say all the romcoms I have seen so far, the men are blah. Look we do not come to holiday movies for the heavy narrative or deep meaning stuff, we come because at some point towards the end, the guy will get…

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 9 | THE WINDOWS- HARRODS
Excess; the only word that encapsulates the Harrods holiday windows. This is luxury at its shiniest and most golden, bougie without any room for misinterpretation; green, gold and shiny pretty things, and I love it. We are splashing out on things we don’t need but want. Life’s very finest things, and in tandem it is…

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 8 | READ COFFEE TABLE BOOKS
Coffee table books have become part of a culture of home, something we use for decoration more than to read, but with more time spent indoors, (remember outside?) I have developed a habit of not simply oogling the pictures of a coffee table book, but properly delving into them as well. I have a few,…

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 5 | SWEET MAGNOLIAS – SOOTHING
This was released in the summer but I cannot help but include this in the advent calendar ritual because it is such a series that it ought to be repeatedly relished whatever the season or occasion. Sweet Magnolias… from its release in the summer, at the peak of the pandemic, I have watched this show…

ADVENT CALENDAR DAY 4| SELF CARE; HOME CARE
As we go through this calendar, I will be inserting self care every so often, the aim here is not to out-Christmas ourselves before we get to Christmas Day, rather, we must slowly glide through the holidays, breathing evenly, deeply feeling and making sure to take every care. Self care is what we make of…

Advent Calendar day 3 | Get Your Silverware
This is where I know I trolled myself big time because most everything I have in my house is not dishwasher safe, I have a dishwasher that I have never used for dishwashing, and for someone who HATES to do the dishes? I really played myself on this one… BUT for Christmas, get your dishes…
