As a neurodivergent person you will rarely see me without my headphones on, which means that I'm constantly looking for new music, podcasts and audiobooks to listen to. I used to get all of my music recommendations from Tiktok and Spotify, but I've recently deleted Tiktok and the Spotify algorithm has been absolute shite. So it's time to do it the old fashion way, by sharing playlists.

As you may have seen on my socials, I’ve been away for quite a while. Turns out that doing 4 events in 5 weeks while trying to juggle stock prep, doing admin and client work isn’t that great for your mental health. So on the 3rd of December I closed my online shop, that way I was able to finish packing orders and client work right before the holidays. I did a full online detox, deleted tiktok and replaced instagram doomscrolling with reading and drawing. I used to spend hours and hours just scrolling through videos of people dumping their feelings and political views on me and it just made me sad or angry. It surprised me how much it affected my mood and how much extra time I had if I didn't spend it aimlessly scrolling. It was wonderful and, to be honest, I recommend everyone to try it. Now that my break is over though, I’ve been debating whether or not I should start using on tiktok again. It’s not worth my mental health at the moment, so for now I'll focussing on instagram, my newsletters and my blogs.

November is almost over and December is approaching quickly, which can only mean one thing, Christmas is almost here! I absolutely love the holiday season, the lights, the trees, the winter markets and, my favourite thing, picking out presents for friends and family!

You’re probably as tired of hearing this as I am, but I can’t believe it’s already September! I can already feel the summer anxiety slide off my shoulders and I’m ready for Autumn to begin. I’ve already ordered everything for my Halloween shop update, but before I tell you all about that, let’s talk about some stuff that has happened lately, upcoming events and some exciting news.
