Hi all!

Welcome back to my series, titled: Seasonal Splendour. My daughter and I started a tradition of making bucket lists per season; ticking off the prompts as we met them. It’s been such a fun bonding experience, but it has also allowed us to romanticise different times of year. Below is the bucket list we made and a photo diary of our adventures. The only one we didn’t get to was ‘Go Ice-Skating.’ Without further ado, let’s get into it!

Seasonal Splendour Part 4: Winter

---

1.) Try Assorted Vegan Hot Chocolate 

I posted an entire ranking of Nomad’s Hot Chocolate range (click here). I highly recommend this brand. 

2.) Invest in Fuzzy Socks

Winter is all about fuzzy socks! I bought my pack from Amazon. They come in nice neutral colours, that fit well and are super warm.

3.) Try a Unique Bath Product 

I’ve tried Bubble Bars before but never a Bubble Wand. I bought this pretty, snowflake-shaped product from LUSH. Simply hold under running water and watch the foam rise. I felt like I was in a Winter Wonderland, surrounded by white frosty, glittery soap suds that smelled of peppermint. If you dry it off, you can store it away for multiple uses. 

4.) Visit a New Indoor Experience 

In July, for our daughter’s 7th birthday, we went to the Gold Coast for a week, stopping at Bluey’s World along the way. It was such a wonderful experience. You get a guided tour of Bluey’s home, with plenty of interactive features to engage in. At the end, you are given a photo opportunity with Bluey and Bingo. Abigail was overjoyed! It’s on the pricier side, but I do recommend it. 

5.) Get Pampered 

I wrote an entire post about my ASMR Massage experience (click here), so please check that out. Needless to say, it was amazing. 

6.) Bake Cookies 

What’s winter without baking? In June, I made these delicious chocolate-chip cookies for myself and my daughter. I don’t have an exact recipe for them. They were from a packet mix. 

7.) Watch The Fog Original/Remake 

Tis the season for atmospheric, chilling horror movies. I wrote an entire post comparing The Fog to its remake. Click here to find out which version was better! 

8.) Replace Old Towels with Fluffy Ones 

This is something we should all be doing at least once a year. Fluffy towels are essential during the colder months of the year. I bought this lovely magenta set from Spotlight. They are so soft and warm. 

9.) Go for a Rainy Day Walk 

A rainy day walk can actually be quite lovely. Put on your raincoat and boots, grab your umbrella and get some fresh air! I walk to work every single day, so this was one of those days. 

10.) Decorate with Winter Stickers 

I bought an assorted pack of winter stickers from Temu and spent the afternoon scrapbooking. There’s nothing better than sitting in your bed – whilst it rains outside – getting creative. It allows you to embrace the season in a way you wouldn’t normally. 

11.) Master a New Colouring Pattern 

Once again, colouring is the perfect rainy day activity. You can light a candle, put some music on, rug up with a blanket and create your own little masterpiece. During the colder months, I worked on light colouring (pictured below), blanket patterns and brickwork. Check out my colouring book journey post here.

12.) Make Snow Globes

I was planning on making a snow globe with Abigail, but then she was given one for her birthday. This one is from Movie World. It’s very special. 

13.) Add Twinkling Lights to your Space 

I found these pretty twinkling lights on Amazon. They look so nice against my headboard. Abigail loves them too. It’s such a simple, yet effective way to transform your space.

Thank you so much for reading! I’ll be back soon with a different seasonal idea! 

Peace & Love xoxo
