December update!

I love Christmas it is such a magical time! December has flown by! I have enjoyed festive drinks and dinners with friends and family, seen Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, watched Christmas films as well as Stranger things and Emily in Paris.  I have enjoyed Christmas shopping and wrapping presents and some lovely time spent with my pooch @rufustheredtoypoodle. I am looking forward to spending time with family over Christmas and having a rest as well as lots of fun!

I had one last wedding on December 20th which was lovely and festive and have been busy with makeup lessons, hair & makeup pre-wedding trials and lots of Special Occasion bookings.

Every year since 2020 I choose my guiding word for the year! I am not sure why I started this I think I read it in a book somewhere but I love to do it and the chosen word I really try to follow throughout the whole year. For 2026 I have chosen "Joy", it feels like such a perfectly aligned choice for me I have felt joy ever since I chose it a few weeks ago now.  For those that follow my Instagram Monday Motivation posts look out for lots of Joy filled posts in the New Year! I aim to take joy in even the small daily things and hope to spread a little joy to those around me.

There are so many little moments that make Christmas special for me, but I really do love to make my own Christmas pudding and a Christmas cake... the scent in the air when cooking is divine that is when it fills like Christmas to me!  I hope you all have a joyful Christmas with family and friends or maybe even taking time for yourself to enjoy the little things that you love! 

Thank you for reading my monthly ramblings!

Merry Christmas and I wish you a Happy & Healthy 2026!
