Day 365 of January, or at least that’s how it feels, with Christmas being a distant memory, January is the month that just keeps on going. Anyone else feel like that?
As much as I am forever an autumn girl, Winter does come in at second place, as it is a gorgeous season with its cozy vibes and pleasures. Although the dark, dismal, wet days are my least favourite part of winter. I am all about the crisp, frosty, bright, fresh mornings. And I absolutely adore winter clothing! Boots, jeans, sweaters, cosy jumpers – it’s just perfection all round.
Filling my winter weekend days with getting outside as much as possible on long leisurely dog walks with Hunter, there’s just something about those cold and frosty mornings I mentioned earlier. The feeling of that cold air on your face, the cobwebs glistening with frost, it really can be such a beautiful sight, and not to mention great photo opportunities.
When it comes to winter weekend evenings I love to cook a nice meal with fresh ingredients and a recipe. If you know me, you will know I don’t like anything too complicated, so simple dishes are my go too. Curries, chilli’s I even did Greek vegetarian kebabs last weekend that went down very well. Shutting myself away in the kitchen for an hour whilst doing dinner is a little bit of me time, I like to be left alone, put on some tunes and do my thing.
After dinner it has to be a long hot shower before closing the blinds and shutting out the outside world. Movies, healthy(ish) snacks and winter fragranced candles are a staple winters night necessity (right?) I love being cosy inside when it’s freezing outside.
I like to treat January as the reset month, setting my own personal goals, and putting plans into place. This January is all about decluttering. You know where you juts feel like your house is closing in on you with all the things you have in it and never use! Even my kitchen cupboards were cluttered with various sauces and spices that I’ve never used and have long gone out of date. So Luke and I dedicated the whole of last weekend to decluttering the house. Cupboards, Wardrobes, loft, utility room and any other drawers and storage units we have. It’s amazing how much out of date bits I had, creams that were pretty empty, and various other bits which I haven’t used in years. Although the house is not by any means fully decluttered we have made a solid start.
2025 is definitely my year of getting things done, being as active as possible (especially at weekends) and using utilising my weekends with house bits but also time with Luke & Hunter. I mean that’s the plan at least.
