Let’s talk – Happy New Year!
Time flies by, even when you’re not having a lot of fun… Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone has had a few wonderful days with family and friends. Unfortunately I was not so lucky and I spent my Christmas and New Year’s Eve in my bed or on the couch with a nasty stomach flu. Story of my life, really. But I’m doing much better and look forward to start blogging again. It’s been a while due to all kinds of circumstances. Mostly because we lost some people in the second half of the year who were really important to us. So I had to push the pause button on this blog.
Thankfully, I also had some lovely experiences last year such as moving into our new house in March and starting my new job in April, in this house we were planning to add a granny house to rent, and to get the highest quality build, it was important for us to work with a designer to make our Granny Flat Designs become a reality. That was quite a stressful time but also very exciting. In the summer I met with Sovannary from Defarjenary. I realized once again how nice it is to be able to meet likeminded people through the internet (and my blog in particular).
I could have done better in the shopping department, to be honest. Let me know if you would like me to do an 2017 overview of my (favorite) purchases. My last purchase of the year was the A.P.C. striped t-shirt from my previous post that I found on sale with 30% off. I’ll be heading to London again this month and hope to try on that A.P.C. denim skirt that I also mentioned. But mostly of all, I hope to purchase Rihanna’s Fenty Stunna lipstick. I’ve heard so many good things about it. Any other products or stores that I need to check out while I’m there?
Thank you all for reading and for the lovely comments that I have received over the years. I really appreciate it. How was your holiday season?
Plz let us know your overview of your 2017 purchase! Happy 2018.
So sorry about my typo. Please delete both of my comments. Thank you.
Hi Shu, no worries, I changed your comment 🙂 And thank you!
I would love it if you did an overview of your 2017 purchases. I stumbled upon your blog researching items and am inspired by your discipline in choosing carefully and not filling up a closet with mindless shopping. I hope 2018 is a wonderful year for you and keep up the great blog!
Hi Nance, thank you so much for your nice reply. Unfortunately I haven’t been doing so well in regards to mindful shopping but am definitely going to pick it up again this year. Will be writing about it for sure!
Welcome back! I’m so sorry to hear about tour losses, understandable that you needed a break. Would love a review of your favorite purchases from 2017. Hope 2018 will be a great year for you! For me I hope 2018 will come with a house 😉
Hi Hanna, thank you so much. It’s a part of life but that doesn’t make it easier. A review is currently in the making 🙂 Ah, I hope you will find a lovely house this year. I know for experience how hard the quest can be.
Happy New Year to you!! Thanks a lot for the mention 🙂 It was my pleasure to meet and get to know you in person. Hope you are having a great start of the year despite the loss and I know how tough it must be as I lost my little sister two years ago. Remember that life must continue!
I’d love a review of your buys post! I just posted mine this week. Don’t forget to check it out! Bisous- Sovannary
Thanks! I didn’t know about your sister, I’m sorry for your loss. It comes with growing older that people close to you pass away but it will never be easy. Especially when it’s someone like your little sister. Hope you are well, am following your moving process at the moment 🙂
Happy new year and welcome back! My condolences for your losses in 2017.
Thanks Xin! Hope you are well. I’m really behind on your blog (and all other btw) but will catch up as soon as possible.
