Lookbook Diary | 2021: Week 4
AD AFFILIATE LINKS
Good day and happy end of the week to you. I am currently sat here, writing this on a very wet Sunday afternoon, on what has been a very wet wet weekend here in the UK. After the promise of a large snowfall on Saturday, which ultimately turned out to be a large rainfall! I definitely, feel as if the overall mood of everyone in the UK is low and we are collectively struggling a little with the current lockdown.
After speaking with you all either on here or via instagram I know that the general vibe is down and many are finding it hard to hop out of bed in the morning with enthusiasm and are instead hitting the ‘snooze’ button a lot more than usual. Myself included! It doesn’t help, that in general, January always is a very tough month, grouped with the 5+ weeks pay day month, short and dark days and grey/wet weather. However, throw in, what seems to be a never ending global pandemic and Covid restrictions and there you have the perfect cocktail for ‘doom and gloom’.
That being said, it seems as if the past couple of weeks we have all taken the time to hibernate a little, take solace in our homes, cosy loungewear and good food, to mull and sit with our feelings. Which I think is a very important thing to do, when feeling a little low and lost in your emotions – as it is a stage of recognition and acknowledgement of your feelings, whilst giving yourself time to explore why you feel the way you do. However, after acknowledging my feelings, I always make a conscious effort to put into practice/play a strategy to move myself forward and set some goals and intentions for myself, as a way to help myself progressively move forward. So, with this being the last weekend of January and the start of February, I really cannot think of a better time to put this into action. I wrote a post last year (click here), with how I like to tackle each new month, so if you feel like you need a little inspiration, then have a quick flick/read through the post and work on setting your own intentions for the month ahead this week.
In other news, I thought I would also update you on what else I have been up to this week. As I did promise, that I would use these posts like a journal entry, capturing my thoughts and mind wanderings (something I have most definitely given you all over the past few weeks) alongside, little life updates with what I have been up to… So, this week, I have been very much knee-deep in the world of YouTube, learning as much as I can in the small amount of hours I have available outside of my Full-Time work, creating a video, editing and learning the best way to use the YouTube platform. It was a very daunting experience, the filming side of things, however, I enjoyed filming it much more than I thought I would! So hopefully, I will be able to continue and find time to make further videos in the future. So if you fancy taking a look and having a quick watch, then please do (click here), – it features 9+ Lockdown Outfits all with items under £30 from H&M.

Anyways, it was lovely speaking to you all again and I really hope this month mentally is a better month for us all. Pop a comment below with the new intentions/goals, you have set yourself for February and lets all do this together. Have a lovely week xxx
