Despite this confession, its been a good week lets get into it.
1. I went out walking in the week (I’m trying to get out and about every day for at least half an hour) and got absolutely drenched, like soaked. Water was dripping from my nose and I ended up stopping in an alcove to slick my hair back.
2. It feels totally unnatural and alien to say this BUT here’s me and Jules stocking up on booze for the weekend (as well as a selection of crackers and nibbles to accompany the truly horrific films we’ve been watching on Netflix)
3. The fairy lights in my room have been broken for about eight months, so in honour of the Christmas season that is upon us I finally bought some new ones.
4. Shadows in the light in our flat
5. Cute little coffee van in the park with delicious hot chocolate!
Other bits:
1. Could I pull off a beret? Yes.
2. I've reached the earth-shattering realisation that I don't drink enough water. Tbh I already knew this but now I really know so I've bought a water bottle with one of those reminder things on it to tell me how much to drink during the day so I have no excuse.
3. STARFACE update: I'm breaking out quite badly at the moment on my face as no fault of the product (it's a combination of hormones, lack of hydration and stress) but I will say the night exfoliator is really good and is enabling me to feel much better about my skin.
Closed tabs of the week: (I discovered this week that if you have more than 100 open tables on Google Chrome, a smiley face appears at the bottom).
A PDF on living with worry and anxiety amidst global uncertainty that my support counsellor set to me. A phone case from xouxou. A Google search for overshirts. Why do I look bloated when I wear jeans? A review of some personalised Christmas mugs on Etsy. BBC News homepage. Kermit the Frog keyring. Goodhood homepage.
Quote for the week: “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” from my favourite Brené Brown
Stay safe out there kids,
