Between Books and Baggage

Hello and welcome to the new year!

In this episode, we’re diving into cozy reflections on 2024 and dreaming big for 2025. I'm really excited to take you on a path down memory lane, building upon last year's first episode to reflect on my past goals for 2024 and what I plan for 2025.

Have fun with the episode!

Hello girlypops,

If you are anything like me then you will have wanted to go on a solodate at the cinema at some point in your life - and probably have felt scared doing so! In this episode, I share some tips that helped me to be brave and spend some awesome time at the cinema. From my first time going out to the cinema alone in Singapore, to an awkward post-valentines day solodate in Switzerland all the way to watching a movie by myself in Chinese (and admittedly barely understanding it lol)!

Have fun with the episode and as always tell me about your adventures via email: [email protected] <33

Let me tell you why it's okay to have a few bad days in your January Challenges if you can implement those habits consistently overtime instead :D
