Christmas was a peaceful, relaxing day with some of my loved ones. My brother and I were in charge of Christmas dinner this year which involved a lot of cooking and much use of our good old oven and air fryer. My parents enjoyed it a lot and so did I, after opening our presents from each other and our parents, we got to the kitchen, blasted Christmas music from the tv in the conservatory and shared much conversations and laughter as we peeled, chopped, washed and mashed the potatoes for our shepherds pie. We had a truly English Christmas meal, it reminded me of the meals we’d have in primary school but with a Christmas twist on it. I attempted at making stores, an extremely sweet desert made up with marshmallows, crackers and melted chocolate. One thing I can say is that, it tasted what I though stores would taste like but, it looked quite the mess and vastly different from the image I prepared lol, the marshmallows had melted a lot more than I wanted them too so I believe I left it in the oven for too long.

I also enjoyed crying at the cheesiest, emotional iconic film, The holiday. Every time I watch a film with Jude Law in it, I remember the day I met him after watching his performance at the barbican theatre on a college trip with other students in my class. We took a picture together and he placed his arm on my shoulder, I remember freaking out about it that I ended up disliking my pose so much that it was a photo only my family can see. I recommend everyone watch ‘The Holiday’ during Christmas, if I dare say, it’s on the same level as ‘Love Actually’ so, that should be enough to convince anyone to watch a Christmas film that will allow you to feel as if you’re a teenage girl having a crush for the first time, a magical feeling that’s becomes a cheesy memory the more you look back on it.

Before the new year, I decided to make a vision board for myself. It’s kind of like a visual manifestation for what you want in the year and in life in general. I think it’s a really cute activity and, really motivating t see at my desk whenever I feel like I don’t want or can’t work towards the things I want anymore, sometimes seeing the goals you you have in life serves as a nice reminder of what it could look like through the images I see everyday stuck on my wall. I highly encourage you to make a vision board too ! It doesn’t have to be huge or fancy looking, just a collage of things you envision or want to work towards and achieve, stick it somewhere you in your room you look at often and enjoy your pretty visual reminder.

It was my brother’s birthday, January 7th. Before Christmas Day, we went and watched an orchestral performance of the home alone film which felt beautifully nostalgic since it’s a film we’ve watched since we were kids and the soundtrack somewhat holds really heartfelt, nostalgic emotions for me. We’ve been getting closer and much deeper in the relationships we have, whilst we were cooking for Christmas, we talked about a girl he’s been seeing, she bought him a jewellery set and when he goes out to meet him, he does in secret because he hates when my mum asks him too many questions about someone he’s seeing or may like as she has before. I think he’s noticed, I’m not much of a difference as I also ask him a million and one questions, so much that he turns of my message notifications sometimes lol, I’m just curious ! I’ve stopped now anyway and when we do talk about it, it’s quite casual and comfortable for him, I haven’t met the girl he’s talking to but she sounds nice from what my brother says, I’ve had to cover for the multiple times he’s left the house to go and meet her and my mum asks where he is, I’m not sure how many excuses I can make before I run out but, I’ll try my best until he’s comfortable enough to tell her..I definitely deserve some kind of compensation for protecting him right? At least £5 million ,,ha ha. just kidding omg i just knew and was happy that

I got a pretty new Mac computer for my room, it feels much better to look at and creates a pretty atmosphere for my room that I’ve always wanted. I was going to opt for a monitor and connect my laptop to it but, I didn’t like the idea of seeing so many wires on the table or the floor, I knew no matter how much I attempted to cover them it would bother me so, I’m grateful I’m able to purchase this computer (I got it in silver). I’ve also booked an appointment with my dentist this Thursday, it’s been longer than I’d like to admit since I’ve been to to see my dentist so, I’m looking forward to having a cheek-up and discuss if there’s anything I need to do or can do to continue having a good tooth health. I’m planning on taking at least some video footage of it which will be added into the vlog video I’m going to make for my YouTube channel. Posting a bit more eon YouTube is on my vision board so, I hope to achieve this too. I recently noticed a sudden rise on my YouTube channel views and subscribers, I was at 35 subscribers and suddenly continued to rise and is almost at 190 subscribers, I emailed via the support section of YouTube. I assume my account may have been hacked or some error was made, I’m still unsure since I haven’t received a response or seen a video to help answer these questions, I somehow feel good but also not so good about it since it’s possibly a bunch of robots subscribed to my channel so my audience may not be authentic. I kind of hope it goes back down to 35 subscribers because I know they’re real in comparison to the 100s I have now, unless they’re real people too….I’m still unsure.Anyway, I also recently sold my first item on my depot page, I feel like a real business woman lol. I shipped the shoes of to the customer located in Scotland and she left a lovely review which made me feel great. I want to post more items and sell more so, when more items are up, I’ll make sure to share my store link <3

It’s been quite a long time and, I hope to also stick to my vision board plans of posting on my blog more often. I hope the new year has been kind to you so far and continues to be, Happy new year !
