Get into the Chistmas spirit

 It's the most wonderful time of the year! Here are simple ways to get into the Christmas spirit. 




1. Decorate!

Of course you will be putting up a Christmas tree but you can make your bedroom and whole house look festive. Hang up spare tinsel, lights and other ornaments and decor pieces. You could find cheap Christmas bedding, cushions, blankets and rugs for your bedroom and add a small Christmas tree in there. 

2. Watch movies

There are so many great Christmas movies on Netflix right now! Get the family or some friends together, make some popcorn and enjoy a movie marathon. I suggest The Knight Before Christmas, Snowbound for Christmas, Love Hard and all three Princess Switch movies. 

3. Listen to music

Search for Christmas songs on Spotify and create a playlist to play while you're doing things around the house, on the way to and from work and in the car. It's always nice to hear Christmas carols and songs. 

4. Go Christmas shopping

If you're purchasing gifts online, starting your Christmas shopping early is a good idea, especially now that their can be delays due to restrictions caused by the pandemic. When you go to the shops, it's fun to browse the aisles of Christmas decorations and treats. 

5. Get out of the house.

Attend your local Christmas carols night, find special events and go with your family and friends and drive around to look at houses with beautiful light displays. Just go have fun!

6. Enjoy seasonal treats.

Try some of the food and drink items that are only available for Christmas like gingerbread, candy canes, egg nog. Starbucks has festive coffee - Gingerbread latte, Toffee Nut Crunch Latte and Confetti Cookie Latte. 

7. Read Christmas stories.

Read the kids a classic like 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Reading is the best way to get into the world of Christmas and it's not just for kids. People of all ages can enjoy Christmas stories. 

8. Holiday Photoshoot

Dress up and take a beautiful family photo which you can keep in your collection and maybe put them on Christmas cards to send out to your loved ones. Make it even more fun by dressing up your pet in a little outfit or just a Santa hat.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
