Oops – This post is definitely overdue, but in my lazy defense it was because of *drum roll please*… I filmed a Vlog for January whoop! It’s my first ever one so please be gentle on me bb’s! February – Finally! Five weeks later and we’ve finally seen the end of January, although for me the month seemed to somewhat fly by, I know it was the opposite for others. January started with a bang quite literally for me and my loved ones – we entered the new year with praise and thanksgiving at HTB which was brilliant and well.. from there January is a little bit of a blur as you’ll see in my very brief vlog. January was a month of celebration in a strange way. A félicitation of new beginnings, and a metaphorical closing of the door of last year. This month we celebrated friends birthdays with a lot of two for one cocktails, crazy dancing and even doing the splits before realising that we aren’t as young as we think our bodies are aha!
W E A R I N G : When I say that my priority right now has been comfort! I wore ugg boots out of the house the other day and i really felt like it was an extreme low for me as a fashun influencer – I kid, it was cold af and i wasn’t about to freeze my toes and nips off so i bundled up in my biggest, warmest boden coat and mismatched ugg boots and there will probably be more of that in february given the weather warnings.
L I S T E N I N G : I have been obsessively listening to the new United song, it has been so beautifully relevant to the season that i’m in at the moment and the lyrics just hit my soul differently.
R E A D I N G : I picked up two new books from WHSmith on my way home one quiet evening. “The Unexpected Joy of Being Single” and “The Art of Not Falling Apart”, two very apt books for the season I’m in at the moment. The unexpected joy of being single is filled with facts, figures and interesting information regarding love, sex and relationships. It’s not a patronising, pandering read all about forcibly being happy single – but more so a reminder that it’s normal, it’s okay and you won’t die if you don’t find someone aha! The second book I picked up as I saw the blurb mentioned the author was writing about being made redundant at the age of 40, and how she picked herself up out of it and overcame. It’s a witty, well written, no sob story account.
F E B R U A R Y G O A L S : I suppose an obvious one is to get a new job (but I’m tired of harping on about it), some others would be to…
- Get back into the gym (i haven’t been since December shamefully).
- Get better at writing.
- Learn to push through in order to achieve my goals.
- Secure at least two paid collaborations for the month of February.

haha I've been wearing grey turtleneck sweaters all season and bundling up in down vests AND down jackets // I feel like I've been harping on about getting a job as well, so I feel you! // I found an indoor pool in my city (harder than I thought it would be) mid-January, so now I'm swimming three times a week! I like having this structure in my life as I'm looking for a job and have quite a free schedule 😛 // Hope your February has started off well, and wishing you the best with your goals! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
I love your posts like this Sade <3
Both those books are on my "to-read" list. Maybe I'll bump them up because they sounds even better now, haha.January always drags fro me, but February always flies by, which is annoying because it's always one of my favorite months. And that's me being unbiased even though it's my birthday month ;)I hope your Feb. is going well!Gemma | Actively Gemma
