20 things that brought me joy in September

September didn’t exactly end the way we ever thought it would. An electrical appliance fault resulted in a house fire in our beautiful home causing severe smoke damage throughout the house. The past week has been extremely difficult and we are still coming to terms with everything but I thought given our current situation it was even more important that I wrote about the things that brought me joy in September, to remind me of those small but yet very special moments which help shape us and our days <3

1. Spending a day being the biggest kid ever skipping around Disneyland Paris.

2. Queer Eye marathons cosied up on the sofa.

3. An iced latte at our favourite coffee hotspot.

4. Eating a cheese toastie for lunch 3 days in a row mmm mmm.

5. Sunny autumnal days – my absolute favourite.

6. Leopard print in the shops – 100% on my shopping list.

7. A fresh cut and colour at the hairdressers.
