Okay, okay I won’t actually say it but without a shadow of doubt there is defo something in the air and it smells a lot like frosted pine and cinnamon. Here are a few ways I’ve been embracing the festive feeling!
Decorating the house
Some may think it’s a bit early but in all honesty, this year has been shit. For me, for you, for everyone… and the last 3 weeks have been no exception. My daddy caught Covid so that meant my whole family was out of work for 2 weeks, then I caught Covid and it knocked me off my feet for a few days, not to mention my Granny also caught Covid and it only went and killed her (don’t even get me started on trying to plan a decent wake and funeral in these particular set of circumstances – NIGHTMARE!!!). Basically, if you were to say “Ciara, don’t you think it’s a bit early for decs?” I would say abso-fucking-lutely not. Life is short. Decorate your house.

Welly walks
Not everyone owns a pair of wellies and not everyone needs a pair wellies but holy hell everyone should get a pair because there is truly nothing more satisfying than trudging through a big ol’ puddle, even in your twenties! I have been making the most of my coat and wellies and have been going on daily walks with my dog- we don’t mind the weather as long as there is a nice cuppa to come home to.

Cosy nights in
Now this one isn’t always easy. For some reason I need an extra wee push to pamper myself but in the colder months I really like to run a bath, pop on a facemask, stick on a film and make a lovely hot cup of tea or hot chocolate. And I’ll maybe light a candle or wax melt while I’m at it!

These are just a few things that are really easy to do and help get me into a bit more of a festive mood- it doesn’t require any money is in line with current restrictions *eye rolls at the fact that I even have to say that*.
What do you do to get into the festive spirit? How are you feeling about current Covid restrictions?
Until next time…

Aww Ciara, your posts just always make me feel so cosy! I love that you’ve already decorated your house (I actually saw you doing it on IG), and tbh why not already decorate?! December already feels quick so a few weeks extra to enjoy the month is simply great!
