Twenty Six

March 2, 2017Lifestyle
0

Turning 26 feels like a big deal and yet hurriedly not a big deal at all. When I was much younger, I remember imagining myself at 24 with a lovely country home, children, dogs, a cat and a husband. Oh, and a car. At 24! Whilst that is some people’s life, it certainly isn’t mine and despite those childhood dreams? I’m happy with that. But 26 does feel scarily adult-like.

I’m one of those people that absolutely loves their birthday. I suppose you’re in one of two camps when it comes to the B word, eh? I’m firmly a lover. Although I guess I’m not entirely in a rush to leave 25 – it’s been pretty damn awesome. I’ve slowly built up a business, launched my dream shop, gained a beautiful puppy and an even more handsome boyfriend, cemented friendships and travelled a TONNE. 25, you were the best yet.

This year of my life, I hope for many things. I hope to gradually build Honey + Chai, I hope to see even more of the world and globe-trot even further afield. I hope to see my friends much, much more. I hope I can add value to more people’s lives and I hope to truly nail the art of selflessness. I hope I can get a step closer to becoming a homeowner(!!) and, just maybe, I hope to sneak in another international move. I hope.

Thank you for all of the lovely well-wishes on Twitter and Instagram, too! You guys are the absolute best. I can’t believe some of you saw me turn 19 and are still about now!

It’s a horror retelling of Peter Pan and I was expecting to absolutely adore it — Peter Pan was one of my favourite Disney films as a kid! There are some truly magical passages in this book, don’t get me wrong, but overall it felt a little contrived and try-hard, a little too much victim and not enough ‘why’. Tell me gang, what should I read next? ✨ #DaisybutterReads

Instagram post 2195973963359006137_30616375 Finished reading ‘Emergency Contact’ by Mary K. Choi on my lunch break today and I absolutely loved it. I can’t quite remember how this ended up on my TBR list because I haven’t actively sought to read YA in a while, but this year I really wanted to read more books by women and people of colour. Emergency Contact is a wonderfully modern love story; Penny and Sam are brought together by accident, but their relationship develops by a series of texts. And haven’t we all been there? It’s hard to put my finger on just why I adored this novel so much. I guess because it’s relatable and because Choi beautifully weaves in characters from all backgrounds with just-enough threads of quirks and traits to keep you turning the pages. Plus, not only is there a Korean-American protagonist, there’s a British-Chinese character!! ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ #DaisybutterReads
Instagram post 2195328500792311413_30616375 We had SO much fun at FriendsFest on Thursday. As I've been asked 19385739 times, it wasn't a press event, it's a public thing and we paid for tickets! I think FriendsFestive is in Shoreditch until 21st December and I totally recommend going! PS. Definitely want to paint at least one of my doors purple... 😏 Swipe to see our makeshift Christmas décor, the last in this house before we move... #DaisybutterAtHome
