some things i got for christmas and my boxing day haul

yellowroseroad

I did a ‘what i got for christmas’ a few years ago like once, but haven’t since. This year feels like a year I want to share, now my brother and sister are older and we all have money, we’re getting each other pretty good gifts I think. And then my mum mainly gave me food (which I appreciate) but there are a few gems from her too. Idk I want to share, I like these things a lot. I also popped out to my local independent comic book shop on Boxing Day and want to share what I got then too. This is just a quick, post festive post.

december 2022 favourites

This is going to be a long one folks. After trying to be good all month, Black Friday week kind of killed my bank account and I got a lot of things, so I am extending my max per section to 5 (which I may do going forward now because I feel like these pots were always too short for what they were) and going full ham for the end of the year. Which I don’t want to think about, that’s totally wild to me. This is going up on NYE which I love the neatness of, but this whole year has gone so quickly and I cannot believe it’s done. Anyway, here are the goods. Continue reading “december 2022 favourites”

december 2022 playlist

yellowroseroad

I love that barely any new music comes out in December. It makes for a great reset and a time to really appreciate the music that has come out over the last year. And I definitely have done that this month. This is a lot of random singles from up and coming pop people though. I guess it’s a good thing for them to release in a month when a lot of major artists wont. Love that for them. Continue reading “december 2022 playlist”

I, like everyone else, am just obsessed with Jenna Ortega. I think she’s a great actress that is going to have an incredible career. She’s also funny as hell and has the coolest style. Like she really can do no wrong. Please watch Wednesday (or rewatch it), The Fallout, Scream 5 and marvel in her goodness. Here are a load of looks from her that I have loved, and some funny Youtube videos. Continue reading “wcw: jenna ortega”

what i got my family for christmas 2022

yellowroseroad

It’s the 26th of December, so I hope you all had a good Christmas Day if you celebrate or a good Sunday if you don’t. This year I had to get presents for my parents, my sister, my brother and his girlfriend. So not too many people at all. I really love buying gifts and got like half of these in November. It was so fun to be able to buy people gifts with my proper job money. I didn’t do amazing but I tried and had fun and I hope they all like what I got them.

a winter wishlist (fashion & beauty)

yellowroseroad

Truthfully, I do these posts when the open tabs on my laptop become too much. When the x to close them becomes invisible, it’s time. This was started pre-Black Friday so I cannot speak for the availability of these items. But a lot of them are fast fashion and really here as more inspo items than actual wants. It’s annoying but also very good that a lot of the sustainable places I shop in don’t really have websites. Continue reading “a winter wishlist (fashion & beauty)”

december beauty empties and declutters

yellowroseroad

This kind of post is becoming a regular occurrence for me and I’m not sure how I feel about that. I like finishing things but I hate the hit my bank account takes when I finish a few things in a short amount of time and have to replace them all together, as I had to recently. As well as this post having some things that I threw out because I simply had them too long and it was time to get gone. There is a real mix of things here, which I say every time but it’s very true here. Continue reading “december beauty empties and declutters”

listening to albums released this year that i didn’t realise had come out

Happy Christmas Eve!!

I had a whole plan for this and I went through the releases for the first 6 months of the year and listed a load of them, and then new albums came and I switched those out for others. There was a lot of music I missed this year and next year I really want to make an effort to listen to new things and give my time to new music, and not just listen to the same 10 albums on repeat. I tried to do that now and these albums are pretty damn good. Continue reading “listening to albums released this year that i didn’t realise had come out”

9 shows i watched for the first time in 2022 that i just love

yellowroseroad

Another clunky ass title but it does what it says on the tin or whatever. I think I watched a lot of tv in 2022, but I really watch the same shows a lot like the majority of these I’ve seen like 3 times now this year alone. I love the direction of tv right now, like there are some stellar shows out and tv really is having such a great moment. I just miss long seasons. Some shows need 22 episode seasons for character development and plot and that is a hill I will die on. I’ve been keeping track of the shows I watched on Serializd which I made on January 1st so it really has rode with me for the whole year. All of these shows I have been so annoying about on here but I want to give them all one more mention (before the inevitable love for their next seasons if one is coming).

a day of intuitive eating // honest and vegetarian what i eat in a day

yellowroseroad

My parents went away for a week and left me to my own devices. So I got free run of a kitchen for the first time in a couple years. I really like cooking and meal planning, and had so much fun eating the meals I wanted to when I wanted to. I can obviously cook when my parents are home but it’s not the same as when they’re away. Honestly this made me excited for whenever I’m going to move out. There were 3 days when they were away that I ate all 3 meals at home and so I could document all those days. And I tried to not do my mainstay meals but without total success. On this particular day I noted meal times as a sort of intuitive eating thing, although the times are approximate.
