Niamh R Blogs

I’ve just needed time away from my blog just so I can regroup and create content that I’m actually proud of sharing. But, I’ve also needed this time to be able to concentrate on myself. I knew I needed to give my body some time to heal and some quality time to itself, away from everything, and to figure out what I actually want to out my time and effort into. I overthink a lot, and so to help me combat that I’ve been putting on music to help release any negative vibes from whatever situation I was in, whether it was putting on a playlist with all my favourite songs on or putting on an 80s Hits playlist to just be able to dance in my room to.

As 2019 is underway, I thought I’d take a little trip back through the last year and reminisce on all of my favourite moments. I realised how much family means to me and that I had become a bit too enthralled in a materialistic world since starting my blog but with 2019 being a fresh start I’ve decided to step out of my comfort zone and spend more time enjoying what I love to do. I’d never put it into perspective that I’d have only just finished uni but since it’s all happened I’ve decided to just take my time and see what life has in store for me. I’m still trying to get my head around the fact that it’s now 2019, but I’m looking forward to what this year will bring but also to enjoy all of the things I have planned for it already.

One of the most memorable moments was a sleigh ride, where you hopped into a sleigh full of warm and cosy blankets and pillows which was then pulled by two reindeers, which are some of the most beautiful creatures I’ve ever seen, and without a guide, they’d pulled us through this magical frozen forest. Christmas day itself was so nice too because we got to spend the morning with family and friends and then went down for a Christmas dinner. The idea of a white Christmas was always so lovely but never actually possible as we live in Wales, and so to be able to actually live it was a dream come true. It was after experiencing all of this that I fell in love not just Christmas, but with everything else that surrounds it, and that’s why this particular Christmas was the Best Christmas Ever.

We like to get drunk on Christmas Eve and then wake up at like 8:30 Christmas Day. Another thing we do on Christmas Eve is get gifted a fresh set of pyjamas and bedding to put on so we have a lovely fresh sleep the night before Christmas! I honestly don’t think there’s a Christmas song that I don’t like. The only thing I would say about my taste in Christmas music is that I don’t really listen to all of the newer Christmas albums from artists like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.
