Yesterday's A For H was to get moving (ideally outdoors) - I've been doing loads of Blogilates/Yoga, so I thought I'd go on a walk too - here's a blurry photo from that😂 Today's is to thank people I'm grateful for - thank you to all of you on here for being gems!💎

I'm getting through Rebecca more slowly than I'd like so tonight I want to get to at least p100!

#BFC2022 #NYWD22 #WinterCosy

Blogilates was SO much fun today!! And I'm excited for the 'Nourish' yoga session later😊 Today's Action for Happiness was to say positive things to the people I meet & my conversations have been filled with loveliness which has been nice😁 Rebecca is quite different to the books I've read recently so it took a bit to get my eye in - I'm now really enjoying it though!

All of these challenges are proving great for my health - thanks for running guys!! Tonight I typically would've worked later than I should have done but didn't because I was excited to do more for #BFC2022 #NYWD22 and #WinterCosy 😍

I've worked out and read more of Rebecca (aiming for page 50 today)! Later I plan on a yoga session & today's Action for Happiness is to take 5 min to sit still and just breathe which I'll do afterwards😊

@dariazeoli @monalyisha #BFC2022 @wanderinglynn #WinterCosy @Pudddlejumper

I didn't sleep very well last night so it's been a hard day for me, but I'm immensely proud of how I've handled that❤ Feeling a little too tired for Yoga/Blogilates I think, but I've definitely chosen to see the good in people as part of Action for Happiness & I'll be starting my first #NYWD22 book this evening, even if I only manage a few pages😊

I LOVED THIS!!! I'm not even going to try to explain why because I won't do it justice but I just LOVED it! MORE than 5/5 stars!

It's looking like another day of hitting my #BFC2022 goals - I've done all of the Blogilates videos on the calendar for today (the names of the videos are hilarious to me haha), Day 3 of 'Move' (Yoga) will be done before bed & I'm determined to finish The Flatshare this eve too! I might even read it in the bath😍 That will then be my first book of 2022 & my first #BookSpinBingo square complete!

Started my morn off with 50 more pages of The Flatshare (love!) & Day 2 of 'Move' with Yoga w/ Adriene😁 The Blogilates Day 3 video comes out later today so I'm planning on an evening workout🌟 Today's Action For Happiness action is to do something kind for someone else - I'm going to do some shopping on behalf of my flat, and I'll do some more bday present planning for my partner & friend too!🌷

Action For Happiness - I did lots of kind things for myself today; some highlights being day 1 of the Yoga With Adriene 'Move' Series, a Secret Santa call with my friends & starting Emily in Paris😊

I also did a Blogilates workout😁💪 Partic proud of this bc I got up early to squeeze it in before SS & travelling back to London.

I read a couple of chapters earlier and am going to read a little more before sleep now📚

Back in London this eve after spending Christmas and New Year with my family😊

#Wintercosy @PuddleJumper

@BookNAround #lastfirst

My last read of 2021 and my first of 2022😊❤

Happy NY everyone!!

#BFC2022 update:
This morn as part of the Action for Happiness calendar, I chose 3 things I'm looking forward to this year❤ Move with Yoga w/ Adriene officially starts tomorrow, so I did the Blogilates Flexibility Fix today instead! This afternoon, I'm going to keep reading The Flatshare - I'm going to use it for one of my free #BookSpinBingo Board spaces😁

#WinterCosy Readathon @Puddlejumper @wanderinglynn @TheAromaOfBooks

And that's a wrap for the #WinterGames2021 - this has been so much fun! I'm so glad I took part😁

I got 9934 points for #TeamGameSleighers in #Week5👏 That's 22,117 points for all the weeks combined - yay! @StayCurious

Aug-Dec!😁 #12booksof2021 @Andrew65

Purple Prose I got from my first ever visit to Gay's The Word; Crazy Rich Asians was a really fun summer read; Pumpkinheads was my first ever graphic novel (and it has a bi character in it!!); The Lonely City was one of the most well written books I've ever read; Mansfield Park = my current fave Jane Austen; and for December I chose the Christmas short stories I read to commemorate the #WinterGames2021! 😁

I thought this little collection was really good! The stories were really well chosen & I loved the range😊

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

Next Up: The Flatshare🙌

I've loved ticking off squares as part of the #WinterGames2021 so thought I'd take part in this again in January! Excited😁

As I make new lists for the rest of the boards this year, I'm going to include some more of @mklong's #NYWD recs too! 😊

@TheAromaofBooks #BookSpinBingo

Late to the party here but here is Jan-July!! (Aug-Dec coming tomorrow) #12booksof2021 @Andrew65

With The Fire on High was the hug I really needed at the start of this year; The Darkest Part of the Forest was from @Emilymdxn (aka my superstar Book Consultant); and I've read some Jane Austen for the first time this year too and LOVED having it as my little project! Just Persuasion left there for 2022😁

#BFC2022 @wanderinglynn @monalyisha @dariazeoli @PuddleJumper @TheAromaofBooks

Reading goals: Read Rebecca for #NYWD22 and tick off as many squares as I can for #BookSpinBingo! These are also my Jan goals for the #WinterCosy Readathon😊

Fitness goals: Follow the Blogilates, Yoga with Adriene and Action for Happiness calendars - ideally everything on them for all the days but I'm going to be flexible here!

Will post progress on here as I go😁

Another really fun week - I've watched loads of festive films, read some great books & enjoyed lots of my favourite Christmas traditions😊 It's so sad that next week is the final week but I'm going to make it a good one!!

@StayCurious

I loved this! Fun and fluffy and light and GOOD

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

This set up this morning is what dreams are made of✨

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

I thought if any platform was going to appreciate this, it would be Litsy! My new 2022 journal😁⭐💛

Not technically the right day but this is also my #FaveGift photo for the #FestivePhotoChallenge😎

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

One of my favourite #HolidayTraditions - making fruit salad with my dad on Christmas Eve😁

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers #SelfieScavengerHunt

My favouriteeee - The Grinch😁💚 #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

Next up! The other #TeamBuddyRead for the #WinterGames2021 and #TeamGameSleighers 😁

Less of a so-so and more of an I have no idea! I definitely have a love hate relationship with this one, a marmite kinda book😂 The prose is an absolute pick but I found myself finding the book really entertaining and wonderful at points...and at other points just really annoying😂

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

Today's film is...🥁🥁🥁...Love Actually❤

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

I haven't done much reading today bc my covid booster has made me tired/feel a little under the weather BUT today's film is The BFG - an old favourite😊

#TheWinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

'Third Night' read & I'm still loving the prose; I'm hoping the plot might pick up a bit more so soon though because it's slightly lacking for me atm

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

#FestivePhotoChallenge #FestiveLights #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

My Mum is very proud of this that she's got going on over her fireplace and she wanted me to show you all😂❤

I'm aiming to watch a film every day while I'm off work for Christmas😁 I've seen this one before but my Dad hasn't and I liked it a lot so am happily watching again😊

THIS week I've finished A Month In the Country/got roughly half way through Eight White Nights & watched Love Hard, so have crossed off lots of Bingo Board squares👏 Also took part in the #FestivePhotoChallenge, entered another xmas tree & found lots of word search words!!

I'm so excited to be off work for a couple weeks so I can just chill out and read LOTS😍🌲

#FestivePhotoChallenge #treetopper #XmasTreeContest Entry #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

We don't have a star or whatever on top of our tree so I've edited on this little cat reading a book😂

That's the 'Second Night' read and I must say I'm starting to love this - the things that were annoying me about the 2 main characters have become entertaining & endearing. I love the connection they're starting to form too and how that's playing out. The prose remains to be really beautiful

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

Okay I've finished reading about 'the first night' & am now about 100 pages in...and I have to say this has massively grown on me! The main guy is still incredibly dramatic lol and Clara remains to be quite pretentious and annoying...but the prose has me completely sucked in! Plus I'm finding LOADS of words for the #WGWordSearch haha

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

I'm reading Eight White Nights today and hoping to finish it in the next couple! So far the prose is rich but it's being used to describe the inner monologue of the most dramatic guy in the world😂 We've just had about 3 pages of him having a mare bc he ate something spicy and the girl he likes saw his reaction😂 Said girl also thinks she's Too Cool For School and I'm not entirely sure what he's seeing in her

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

I forgot to take a photo of my Baileys earlier so for today's #FestivePhotoChallenge (festive drink) I have a photo of my can of coke😂 Coke always does a Christmassy advert & I love to drink it at Christmas especially!

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

I enjoyed this one - it was gentle and warm and thoughtful; it reminded me of my Grandpa & my degree🌻

And that's another book read for the #WinterGames2021! #TeamGameSleighers

I haven't done much by way of the #WinterGames2021 this week; I've just been focussing on getting through and to this weekend tbh haha

I'm now back home with my parents for Christmas and am feeling happier & festive😍🌲

I watched Love Hard on Netflix earlier & it was so good; would recommend! I'm going to finish A Month In The Country tonight too and start Eight White Nights ❄

2689 points for #Week2! #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers @StayCurious

I've been so grateful for the WG this week; even when I have been too anxious to read, I've enjoyed looking through all the posts!

I still managed to get a fair bit of reading done too! I finished Let It Snow & Glass Town, & am about halfway through A Month In The Country😍

I watched the #TeamMovie & found lots of words for the #WGWordSearch & the #Week2Game too🙌

My 2nd ever graphic novel & I really love them, a lot more more I expected myself to as well! I love the Brontës and this novel about their juvenilia was really touching. The illustrations were lovely too!❤

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

I'm reading on the tube and I LOVED this page😍

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

The illustrations in this are so lush😍

#WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

I went to the library yesterday to collect some books, one of which was Glass Town - my next read for the #WinterGames2021!

#TeamGameSleighers

Finished! On the whole I enjoyed this - the first story is my favourite, the middle one is kinda laced with misogyny which unsurprisingly I wasn't very here for lol but it was kinda fun nonetheless, and the third one has a relatively sweet little message😊

#BuddyRead #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

My brain is doing a lot better now and I have some SERIOUS catching up to do for the #WinterGames2021! I plan on reading loads today!!

I'm having a Bad Brain Week bc work is v stressful atm & something went a bit awry in my personal life BUT this evening I am going to watch #TheSantaClause bc I'm pretty sure that's #TeamGameSleighers team film🙌 I'm also going to read some more this eve😊
