things I recommend
some favourite things to enjoy at home this season
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!
The Holdovers (a stand out. I cried and laughed and loved this film.)
Father Of The Bride
When Harry Met Sally
You’ve Got Mail
Sleepless in Seattle
While you were sleeping
Frances Ha
Past Lives
EATING/ DRINKING:
Deliciously Ella Chocolate Covered Almonds (best thing I have eaten ever)
Pukka Ginger and Lemon Tea
LA Brewery Kombucha
Lazy Girl Matcha (matcha in a milk frother, don’t hate me but it’s actually really good)
Winter Soup & Sourdough with Salted Butter
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,
