End of November, Early December 🎁
December, the start of my birthday month..
for some reasons, I did my Bullet Journal super early this month.. Which I did write with one of my new gel pens I got from the dollar store some time last month. Not as “runny” as my fancier ones I got from our canadian brand barnes and nobles (indigo chapters), but still smudged a bit if not let dried a bit. I also tried some different things for this next month.
November’s habit tracker ;
I felt insanely lazy this past month .. which erhh, I feel so bad about. But again, depression season is now here, as of which I’ve gotten quite the hit. I do have a good reason for not walking the weeins however; you know when I told y’all Sheik was on 3 paws? I waited a week, went walking with them, and the next day she was back on 3paws.. So eh. we’ll wait some time before walking her again; and my boy isn’t a fan of walking without her (lots of pulling, howling..)
November’s events ;
Firstly, I’ve published an update on November 8th, you can go check what i’ve been talking about over there.
✯ I finished one book this month; Fountain Dead. Currenty reading my last (and only) addition onto my Netgalley fr; “What if it’s us” Aka “Et si c’était nous”.
✯ We went to see Bohemian rhapsody with Alex (his review), and finally finished all the “Saw” movies [not counting Jigsaw] that we had started in October!
✯ It’s starting to get better now at my job ! I can now do the espresso bar all fine after 2months and am no longer panicking in the rushes !! Woohoo !
✯ We put up our christmas tree on the 18th.. took us a few days to get it all decorated, ahah, and the rest of the house followed the week after. Here’s a picture;
Mom’s old (fake) Optic-fiber christmas tree !✯ In case you missed it, this blog celebrated his first year on the 20th !!
✯ Winter has stroke us really early this year.. we had about 2 snowstorms already since the start of november, and two more back to back is foreshadowed for the next three days-ish from the day im writting this (Nov 27th).
✯ After many years of raging after my macbook pro (2013) that sheik splat some coffee in it.. I finally got myself a new one !! A macbook Air, so wierd now to have a working “R” key, and no double letters 😂 Now needing to unlearn that habit.. oh god..
Showcase of the month ! ;
🌟 Cath @ Paint the face of anxiety proposed a list of gifts for thoses who have a mental illness, While Dani’s writting partner @ Perspective of a writer gave one for the bookworms we love !
🌟 Kaleena @ reader voracious proposed 6 books by native authors we shall add to our tbrs.
🌟 Evelina @ Avalinah’s books shared 5 ways we can miss books.
🌟 Ariel @ Waves of pages, shared her “Do’s & Don’t’s” of romance books!
New month, new pages ;
A month full of festivities.. Christmas, my birthday, and Alex is leaving to pass some days with his family.One of my first change ; trying a new format for my habit tracker. The little “weeee” line has been made by Sheik xD As I was doing my lines free-handed she hopped on my chair and yeah.. that happened.
I quite liked what I had done for the blog’s planning in October, so I decided to do a similar one ! As you can notice, i’ll also participate in Bookending Winter (same concept as #blogoween !)
replacing my “deadlines” list as I wanna take a pause of that, I’ve made a “wishlist” one instead – as it’s christmas and my birthday and people will ask me what I want .. I figured having a list I can think on beforehand would be handy!
Lastly, my only modification here is allowing more space for writing the date at the top of my squares.
How was your month ? Anything exciting in the foreshadowing for December ?
Omg thank you so much for mentioning me!!
Also, do you speak French? I noticed it on some of your bullet journal pages. That’s so cool! I’ve been learning it (or trying to) since I was in 7th grade.
Aww no prob 💜
Yes I am french actually! 😅 english is my second language.
Okay, I AM STARTING A BUJO! Maybe caps wasn’t necessary but you inspired me because your Bujo is so casual and fun at the same time – I usually try to hard to make it perfect that I forget the purpose of the Bujo is something else.
Your Christmas tree is lovely and early Happy Birthday! I hope you will have a great month!
YES PLEASE DO!!
Awhh thanks! You’re literaly like 3/4 of a month in advance 😂😂 it’s only the 27th 🙈
I struggle with that too.. i look at other’s beautiful pages and I look at mines and im like erhh.. so shitty looking… but atleast I use them and its working, right? 🤷🏽♀️
Kristina, I have a bujo!! Thank you for the inspiration!!
woohoo !! no problem 😘
That gel pen is a beautiful color! Enjoy your upcoming month.
Iknow eh! It was a pack of like, 30/40 with neons, metallic and glittery for $4, ithink. I just couldn’t pass it 🙈
Thank you 💜 hopefully yours will be good aswell!
Thanks 🙂
YAY FOR BIRTHDAY MONTHS!
Thanks so much for linking to my post, Kristina!
No problem, dear 💜
I love my bullet journal so much.
yes, me too !! Definately shouldve had started sooner.
Thanks for the links Kristina! I will “investigate” LOL Now I know about the rush of being a barista as my daughter is working in a tea room for months now and explained in much details the stress when it is rush hours and her learning curve! But you rock!
some customers sure are sweethearts.. others on the other hand.. super picky ! the things I’ve seen … oh boy.
Ooh I love your Christmas tree! Also, I’ve been meaning to start a bullet journal but I always put it off. Maybe I should try something like yours. It looks really nice and I’m tempted to copy it haha. 😅
Well thank you ! ahah You should totally start one ! If I wouldve had known I would had start mine way earlier
Your posts always make me want to get back into BuJo-ing! I’ve actually considered just drawing out the first six months of next year’s and then adding pages where and when I might need after that since I use post-its to keep track of important pages… Something to consider, yes?
Also, happy birthday month!!!
Ouh yes you should !! That way youd be good for a while without needing to draw more pages and would be able to bujo too 🙂
Thank you!
So glad you are finding your stride at work Kristina! And YAY for a new macbook!! WOOT! I love when I get new machines. 😀 Thanks for sharing my gift post!! I LOVE your tree, so gorgeous, I love people who love Christmas. ❤️
Aww thanks ! A very old tree.. so old we need to replace it next year xD some branches are just not where they should be (slacked down and not bending anymore..just, flop)
YES !! what a relief.. I just need to get used to this new keyboard ahahah .. not quite the same and some things I have no idea how to do anymore x) but so glad I dont need to deal with the double letters anymore !!
I don’t think I thanked you for sharing my post! <3 thank you 🙂
Aww no prob ❤️ its a fab post!
