Adore this Michelle, it was like a warm hug. There's so much magic in the little things, isn't there?

With that said, I'm really sorry about the encounter you had. I'm glad there were some good people around to look out for you – the world can be awful sometimes.

A joy from my week was watching The Great British Bake Off (a fave) at Aidan's parents with their fire lit. Ultimate cosiness for an October evening.

Thanks so much Soph! I'm not kidding when I say this daily practice has changed my life – started in 2016 and it's transformed my outlook on life.

Ah I missed Bake Off this week due to being asleep on the sofa 😂

I love it, might try giving it a go myself!

Nooo! That gives you the right for a cosy afternoon to catch up this weekend though!

This was a lovely read - and so sorry to hear about the negative encounter you had, I hope you're doing ok. A joy from my week would be having a much needed soak in the bath with my bath salts and scented candles while listening to my audiobook (Tales of a Monstrous Heart)

Thank you so much. Doing much better this week (:

That sounds like the dream! Audiobook and a bath is genius – I'm forever scared of dropping my book in the bath 😂

Michelle that dress 😍😍 you are so elegant!! This was such a joy to read, I’m really loving your latest posts, they’re so comforting.

Sorry about the awful encounter you had - that person will never know peace. Thank goodness someone was kind enough to support you in that moment, and that you’re a strong enough person to still find the happiness hidden in the week!

Thanks so much Izzy!! Isn't the dress incredible? It's from a slow, handmade brand, where you can send your measurements, hence the absolutely perfect fit.

My biggest joy this week is rekindled friendship. After breaking up with my friends last year, I've kept to myself and avoided people. We've been working things out lately and it hit me on Wednesday how much I've missed having a simple chat with a friend while we wait for the lecturer to come in. We were talking about how we weren't ready for the test and how little sleep we got the night before but i was smiling and genuinely felt like the girl who's going to be alright 😊

Thanks Louise <3

It's from Molby the Label! A bit pricier BUT they're women-owned and a slow-made brand where you can get the dresses custom-made to your measurements, hence the ridiculously perfect fit on mine.
