What got us through January

What gets me through January is really some self care rituals in my daily life. I think all the pressure to re invent, change your diet, make a 1000 goals and deprive yourself of everything is such an outdated almost negative narrative setting you up to fail.

I read last year that when clearing away the Christmas decorations ,the house can feel bare. With this in mind, I kept some fairy lights on my hall table. It’s just a little small thing that makes me happy on dark nights.

I also love to start the year with some creative inspo as I look to the year ahead and start the design process. I love to visit an exhibition to really get the creative juices flowing.

I was lucky to see the Chanel exhibition in London which was exquisite and I strolled over to the turner exhibition in the national gallery on my lunch break. Sometimes taking a little time in my day just for me is all I need to rejuvenate after a very busy few months.

I actually enjoy January, it's a time to review the year and actually stop and ask what do I want to get out of this year?, What does it look like? What excites me?
