Your Guide to November’s Magic
Hi girlies!
We’re officially in that in-between moment: autumn still holding on, Christmas slowly coming around the corner, and November giving us all the cosy feels. I’ve been embracing slower mornings, warm layers, and those tiny indulgences that make the darker days feel special. So for this month’s edit, I’m sharing :
My favourite seasonal essentials.
Self-Care wellness
Black Friday deals that actually make sense.
🤎 Seasonal Essentials
This season is all about feeling hydrated, feeling good and pretty.
First up, the Clarins Double Serum… my skin drinks this up! It keeps me super dewy and radiant, even on the dullest days. The St. Tropez Tan Mist is my secret weapon for looking alive in London’s moody weather it gives the prettiest soft glow. And the Makeup Forever Lip Liner? She’s the finishing touch that makes every look feel put together.

Make it stand out
As the season shifts and the days become darker, cooler and a little greyer, I always feel my mood change too. Even though I’m naturally such a positive person, this time of year hits me a bit so I’ve learned to lean into habits that lift me up and keep my energy bright. And I want to share them with you.
Looking put together on the outside always makes me feel better on the inside, but beyond the physical, what truly helps is having things to look forward to: a cosy dinner out, a night at the theatre, a little weekend escape, date night with your partner, or even planning a trip to see the Christmas lights or a festive market.
These tiny moments bring excitement back into the week and honestly, they make all the difference. Staying active and doing a bit of exercise also keeps my mindset clear and my mood steady. It’s all about finding those small joys that make the season feel magical again.
🤎 black friday must-have
Black Friday always gives me that funny feeling… part excitement, part “oh no, I’m about to spend all my money.” And honestly? Same. The moment the day arrives, I suddenly need everything how sad but also… relatable.
I have a client-friend, Nicola, who is genuinely the smartest woman ever. She does all her Christmas shopping and decor on Black Friday and saves so much money every year. I always tell myself I’m going to follow her advice, “work smarter, not harder,” right? , so fingers crossed this is the year I actually do it.
Anyway, here are three things I absolutely love and really hope go on sale… because I definitely need (and want) them.
This is everything for this month, thank you for read me every month! I see you in December!
