Cosy PJs: Check. Warm blanket: Check. Fluffy slippers: Check. Hot chocolate with marshmallows: Check. Enter: Hotel Chocolat\u2019s All New Velvetiser. Nothing makes me happier in winter than a hot drink, especially if it\u2019s sweet! The Velvetiser is so easy to use, quick to make and you can use it in the summer months too as it also makes chocolate milkshakes. But for now, I\u2019m sipping on mint hot chocolates like there\u2019s no tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let the hosting season commence! Hosting can be expensive, but it\u2019s also such a joyful way to see loved ones over the holiday season. I\u2019ve already started (because why not?), and my new crisp white Rebecca Udall linen table cloth is simply my new favourite thing. Made from heritage mill in Europe, it\u2019s going to be a table staple for a long time to come. Has red wine already spilled on it? Yes. Did it come out? Yes, yes it did.
Take note: USA shipping costs $22 and all import fees will be covered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Baby, it\u2019s cold outside. Inside, you\u2019ll find me wrapped in my new Cozy Earth cuddle blanket. It\u2019s so heavy it feels like a weighted blanket which is exactly what I need at this time of the year. It\u2019s also very<\/em> soft. It\u2019s ideal for when you\u2019re binge-watching the latest Netflix show, like The Beast In Me<\/em>, and you actually just want to chill.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a child of the 90s, and teen of the 00s the references to the Spice Girls, MySpace and the #girlboss era<\/a> on the back of Sophie Gilbert’s Girl on Girl<\/a> caught my attention instantly. This comprehensive look at pop culture of the past thirty years, and how it has shaped women\u2019s relationships with themselves and other women quickly became my favorite read of the year. This is a must read for millennials, Gen-Z, and anyone interested in pop culture.<\/p>\n

With Christmas coming up<\/a>, I\u2019ve been planning some festive get togethers at my place for friends which has put me in need of some new serving dishes. Hay is always my go to brand for homeware stuff and I\u2019ve had my eye on their Barro Collection for a while, so this was a great opportunity to invest in this beautiful terracotta serving dish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tracey Borman is my favourite historian, with a clever knack for making complicated history both compelling and digestible. Her latest book, The Stolen Crown<\/em>, pokes holes in everything we thought we knew about Queen Elizabeth I\u2019s succession \u2014 the chain of events that led to James VI of Scotland (son of Mary, Queen of Scots, whom Elizabeth\u2019s advisors famously executed for treason \u2014 oh, the drama!) taking the throne and ushering in the turbulent Jacobean era. A must for history nerds who want to learn without wading through stuffy prose.<\/p>\n

I kept seeing these chrome coupe-stemmed serving bowls everywhere on Pinterest, and I\u2019m desperate to take my Christmas and New Year serving game to the next level, so I\u2019ve bought them, and they\u2019re just as cool as the pics. You can put anything in them \u2014 cheese and grapes, cocktail cherries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Everything in my apartment came with it, so I\u2019m really keen to put my own stamp on the space. Most of it is light wood, but I prefer a more moody, brooding vibe, so this black wood table is right up my alley. Of course, I\u2019m softening it with all my candles and cute books to keep it girly.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a single millennial, so naturally my bedroom draws major inspiration from all the romantic historical dramas I grew up watching. My latest obsession: Lady Primrose\u2019s Crown Candle on my nightstand. This beautifully detailed glass crown is the perfect centerpiece for anyone who still indulges in a little princess daydreaming when alone in her quarters. Meanwhile, the Royal Extract scent fills my room with a golden blend of honey, apple blossoms, and creamy milk. It\u2019s warm, romantic, and utterly regal.<\/p>\n

I received this in a gift bag and honestly assumed it would be another gimmicky facial tool\u00a0 but I could not have been more wrong. I\u2019m obsessed<\/em> with this roller. It\u2019s dual-ended, so one side sculpts while the other smooths and de-puffs, and it genuinely makes a difference.<\/p>\n

My favorite part? I keep it in the fridge so it stays extra cold. That cool feel instantly calms inflammation, wakes up my face, and is just so soothing and relaxing. Truly didn\u2019t expect to love this as much as I do.<\/p>\n

I originally bought these Loop Dream earplugs to help me sleep at night and drown out street noise, but now I use them when I want to focus too. They\u2019re not totally noise-cancelling so I have no worries about falling asleep and not hearing my alarm. They\u2019re very comfortable and adjustable to fit your ears with multiple tip sizes to choose from. I also just bought a pair of Loop Quiet earplugs<\/a> to keep in my purse for whenever I need to block out sounds while I work or on the train.<\/p>\n
