January’s Lush Kitchen Subscription Box, Drift Away to Dreamland, is such a dreamy name, and the packaging is absolutely gorgeous. I’m definitely keeping it for journalling and crafting, yes, I am that girl who cuts up bits of scrap paper and saves them for future creative projects.
I have big plans this year, and by big plans, I mean becoming the happiest version of myself and the healthiest in all aspects, mind, body, and spirit. If you know me personally or have followed me for a long time, you will know I am a busy woman.
Sitting in bed this morning with a cup of coffee and my kindle while Nila still sleeps , perfect. We have had quite bad snow and couldn’t get out of our road this morning so we’ve had a snow day and honestly , it has got me in my feels.
So, you just passed your test,congratulations!, Welcome to the world of freedom, independence and terrifying weather right now for us drivers. Winter driving as a new driver is basically like regular driving, but colder, slipperier, and with a soundtrack of your own anxiety, the struggle is real friends!.
One thing we have said we want to do more of in 2026 is spend proper time together. We used to have game nights every Friday, but somewhere along the way they fizzled out, the joys of busy life and not always making time for each other. So we are starting again, and this time with a way to keep it going. We have been loving our Nintendo Switch again, and after the girls got a load of new games for Christmas, it felt like the perfect excuse to bring Friday game nights back.

As the evenings draw in and our pre-Christmas to-do lists grow longer, many of us are spending more time inside - working, studying, unwinding - and trying to keep our heads above the end-of-year rush. In terms of handling both the positive and negative mental gymnastics that come with the “hibernation” period of the winter months, the “vibes” of the spaces we live in become increasingly more responsible for shaping how we feel.
Boxing Day for me means the Lush sale, first and foremost. If you have been here for a while, you will know the love I have for Lush is very real. It’s my favourite place and never has a sale apart from today, and since I love nothing more than a long soak in the bath and good skincare, you better believe I will be in the queue waiting for that door to open every single Boxing Day.
