Gifts for the home lover
Right – it is almost mid-November which means that the countdown to Christmas is certainly on! Victoria over at Bikudesigns has curated some great gift guides for those of you looking for some ideas and I’m super excited that some of my products have been featured:

Gifts for mum, sister, sister-in-law, Auntie, Grandma or your BFF … we’ve got you covered. Whether they’re a party animal, a nature-lover or a home-body you’ll be able to find something for everyone in this selection of gifts.
Gift guide for snuggly nights in
Run a hot bath, sprinkle in some bath salts, scrape up your hair, slap on a face mask, then head for a soak armed with a good book and a sparkling beverage of your choice. Afterwards, snuggle up on your sofa in the flickering candlelight while catching up on your fave show. Actually. Living. The. Dream.
I’ve finally had a chance to add the new candle jar arrivals to the online store.
They made their in-person debut at the Christmas Matsuri in Mejiro at the end of last week – I loved the feedback I got about them!
Right. Here it is. My Glühwein recipe.
I usually ‘freestyle’ it when I make mulled wine so I took notes when I made it again on Sunday 😅

Happy weekend!

WATCHING
“Long Way Up“
I’m not a biker, but I’m a traveller and I loved the first two TV series with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman in 2004 and 2007 when they rode their bikes from London to NYC and from Scotland to South Africa respectively. This time they are travelling on prototype electric Harley Davidsons from the southern tip of South America all the way to LA. So good!
GETTING ORGANISED
for Christmas 🎄
Yes, it’s only early October, but I’ll be extra organised getting my gifts sorted his year – the international postal systems are all messed up and things just take so much longer to arrive.
Bonus point: no more last minute rush to the shops a couple of days prior to Christmas!

“Florence Adler Swims Forever“
by Rachel Beanland
Set in Atlantic City in the summer of 1934 three generations of the Adler family grapple with heartbreak, romance and the weight of family secrets.
LOOKING FORWARD
to autumn!
Autumn is my most favourite season in Japan – those colours are just breathtaking! 🍁
