There are gale force winds outside this morning. Winter has nearly arrived, bringing with it blustery weather that makes me feel grateful for the sanctuary of home. A new storm is here and and a new excuse to hibernate at home.
I have been trying to lean into this season fully without resisting the darkness or cold. Being a little more gentler and moving with intention.
WATCHING:
This section begins first because I have watched some great things recently that I just can’t keep to myself!

Freja Vegan Bone Broth
DOING:
Reconnecting with craft has been welcomed, my TikTok has been filled with amazing Christmas craft videos. I saved some of these to share with you, if you have time over Christmas give them a go.
Crochet Christmas Tree Garland
Paper Chains! ( a real throwback, I think this would be so cool with old wrapping paper)
Orange Garland ( I made this once but didn’t dry the oranges out enough and it was still sticky lol, I need to try this again)

LOVING:
Finally burning my Ambre Diptique candle that Archie got me last Christmas because it’s ok to use my expensive things!
My new TBCO blanket! It is so cosy and warm, I love everything from this company
Loving all of Phoebe’s content, I have been on a style journey this week (will share more soon hehe) and her content has been so interesting, I have been enjoying having it on in the background whilst I potter.
Take this as your reason to burn that expensive candle and wear your fancy perfume! 2024 is nearly over, let’s be kinder to ourselves.
Love,
