Hello there and Happy Friday! I am here to share some of my favourites from the week and of course link up with Erika and Andrea. We have had a good week. Things seem to have calmed down in my life and I am feeling happy and quite relaxed about how things are which is a good thing.
Last week my Word of the Week was "Normal" as it was the first normal week in months but this week has felt even more normal. I have finally found myself a routine and it is working well. I have set myself times to do things, sticking to my to-do list and I have even made time in my day to catch up on bloggy things and do things that I enjoy like playing The Sims. I have finally found a good balance in my life.
Christmas food!
It's that time of year when all the Christmas food has started arriving in the supermarkets and I love it! I've started small, just getting some Christmas cake slices but I know there will be more treats going in my online shopping cart every week until Christmas.
Inside Out 2!
I finally got around to watching it! Both of my girls went to the cinema to see it, Becky saw it twice so I knew it must have been good. I loved it.
Inside Out 2 returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who've long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren't sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she's not alone.
The kitchen cupboards!
Yes, more talk about my kitchen. I shared a post during the week with the before and after pictures of our new kitchen after we had painted it all! What we had done nothing with was the inside of the cupboards so that was stage 2 of the decorating and what we have been doing this week.
Painting and sorting the insides of the cupboards is more faff than painting the outsides. The vinyl wrap on the shelves is a pain to put on but I do think it looks good!
Chappell Roan!
Chappell Roan's music is pretty new to me but apparently she has been around for years. I kept hearing some songs on TikTok and not realising they were all her. I have been listening to her album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess again and again. She really reminds me of Kate Bush and I can see her being the next big thing.
Old nail polish!
I was sorting through my bottles of nail polish and was looking for some Autumnal colours not the bright one's that I have been wearing for the summer. I found this old Pink Mocha one which I don't even remember buying, there was only enough to do my nails left in the bottle.
Jumpers!
It's jumper weather and I have got all mine out of the bottom of my wardrobe to wear over the colder months. I am slowly putting my summery clothes in the bottom of the wardrobe now. I have put a jumper on each morning and by mid afternoon I've had to take it off as I always warm up by that time.
What have you loved this week?
I love the polish color! That's the sort of shade I like best. I'm enjoying all the British treats I miss in the US. I haven't seen the Christmas cake slices yet, but now I'm going to look for those. I love the iced buns and had one of those yesterday. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week! I love that you're starting to buy the Christmas goodies that you're finding. I like to do the same thing when I see them in person! Your nails look pretty, and I love that color. I am still dressing for warmer weather, because by the afternoon it's hot! Our cooler temps start today for the next few days, so I'm excited. I would love to eat outside one night at a restaurant! Have a great weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI love it when the Christmas food comes out in the shops although I'd love it more if I was in the UK. We have a British food shop here, but the prices are crazy! They keep blaming in the shipping but I'm sure they are making a sizeable profit even after that.
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen cupboards do look great! I almost started watching Inside Out 2 this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteYay to a routine. I get on better with one too and especially to-do lists, I live by them.
ReplyDeleteI love when the Christmas nibbles start to pop up in the shops. Those Christmas slices sound yummy.
Oh, I do like how you've put vinyl on your cupboard shelves, that looks fab. I think you've done a great job of your kitchen. It looks amazing. xx
