[AD: @topochicohs] Aaaaaaand breathe – Friday 5p

[AD: @topochicohs] Aaaaaaand breathe – Friday 5pm is here. It’s date night tonight (WOO! 🥰) but before I get ready, I’m stealing away an hour of golden light with something delicious in hand. On today’s bar menu, a Topo Chico Hard Seltzer Tangy Lemon & Lime 🍋 with a few citrus wedges and a glass full of ice. It’s the perfect accompaniment to that post-work *ahhhhhh* moment when you know you have a glorious weekend stretching out ahead of you. Cheers m’dears 🥂✨ #TopoChicoTime

I had grand plans for my first going-out-for-dinne

I had grand plans for my first going-out-for-dinner outfit but I think the reality of sitting outside at 8pm means trousers and a puffer coat are a must. 😅 As long as the food is warm and the wine is cold, I’ll be happy. Have a good one frens!

I made a flying visit to my favourite local coffee

I made a flying visit to my favourite local coffee shop yesterday, booked an appointment to get my nails done tomorrow and another for a full body massage next week. 🥺 They’re all small things but I’m starting to feel a little less android and and a little more human, hallelujah. Also shout out to the people who booked Monday off work and spent the entire day boozing in the pub. Such foresight deserves celebration 👏🍺

So, how did the iconic April 12th treat you? Were you venturing out to enjoy long-booked appointments or chilling at home, business as (new) normal? 💭 Understandably there is a lot of anxiety about this transition period and the staggered reopening of public places & events, but wheewwwwwww I was happy to have somewhere to go today (the gym - I’m very out of practise 🥲).

Even while I was walking down, to see the peppering of people outside cafes and restaurants that have been dead since Christmas was a really hopeful sight, and my mind wandered into the imagined conversations they might be having. How they’ve been coping with the loneliness of lockdown, what TV they’ve binged and promise me you won’t tell anyone but I heard on the grapevine that - 👀

One thing I’m determined to do this year is plan some kind of something with each of my loved ones, whether that’s a bottomless brunch or a trip to the garden centre (note to self: do not mix up the gals booking with my Nan’s).

I don’t know, it’s early days yet but the prospect of making up for lost time is quite powerful, so even if it’s naive to book things in now, I’m going to run with it. 🏃‍♀️

Happy Saturday from Mom & Dad ✌️ Just took our weekly stroll into town for veggies and donuts and now it’s 100% laziness until Monday morning rolls around. Look after urselves kids, take your vitamins and have a beer. 💖

I was going to write “this is how I wait for Kei

I was going to write “this is how I wait for Keiran to come home”, but it’s so hilariously inaccurate that I can’t even lie. Most of the time it’s no make-up, a dressing gown and yesterday’s socks, and hey, maybe I’ve showered already, maybe I haven’t. I don’t know about you, but catching glimpses of myself in the bathroom mirror after a pee has rarely been a welcome sight; my logical brain knows that in the grand scheme of things, the bags under my eyes and my frizzy hair are totally insignificant, but my emotional brain JUST WANTS TO BE PRETTY. It’s a battle between common sense and those persistently whispering insecurities, tagging along for the ride since being a teenager. It’s one thing to know you shouldn’t care about something, and it’s another to ~ actually not care ~, right? And I’m somewhere, oscillating endlessly in between.
