A Hippie's journey through health, beauty and spirituality
Covid – 19 ~ Week Ninety One
Thank you for sticking with me along my crooked path, of wonky hips, dodgy hands and all things in between.
It’s the time to eat all the cheese and be grateful for the luxury things we spoil ourselves with at Christmas.
This is what I asked for this Christmas from VivanneJewelleryUk an Estelle (Star) Lavender Amethyst Ring for my loved and missed Mother in Law. She’s my special star.
Today is a family day, sister in law’s house, with brother in law’s, and other sister in law too. Nice to have the gang together. So that’s me for a few days.
By now things are hectic and people are getting excited for their Big Day. Here it’s more relaxed, as we aren’t really celebrating this year. However we will be celebrating the Winter Solstice in our own way.
So there’s only wrapping of presents to do (didn’t buy much) and some food to fetch, to eat at our daughters. We visited on 22nd until 23rd December, the perfect way to bring in the Solstice.
Bought this to play at daughter’s house. Should be fun, I love the original one.
Our daughter has a beautifully decorated tree so that is our festive day. And we played cluedo and I got beat every time. Drank him, and chatted the night away, it was heavenly. Can’t wait to see my other daughters too.
Ain’t this the truth, thankfully wasn’t much to do
We’ve no tree, no decoration’s this year, it’s not felt right. We’ve also not done anything we usually would. And honestly it’s ok. It’s just not a happy time for us right now. But Merry Christmas everyone.
This month’s Box was a little beauty, definitely erring on the side of Glam, and Luxury.
Glov Golden Silk Eyemask
Starskin Gold Eye Masks
Hollywood Browzer Dermaplaning tool
Elemis Marine Cleanser
Lottie Blusher
Eyeko Highlighter pencil
Yes I now have 2 eyeko highlighter pencils, but thankfully in different colours (had one in a glossy box)
Good box this month, my favourite is the Elemis as it’s always a gorgeous product from them, but I’m loving the eyemask as well, as I actually use them.
Wow, what a difference a week makes. Since finding #VersusArthritis YouTube channel, I’ve been following it as much as I can, while body allows me too.
Found a tailored Hip routine ( find it Here ) and decided to give that a go along with a full body Daytime one ( find it Here )
Hip Flexion 5 second hold X 3 reps
Hip Extension 5 second hold X 3 reps
Heel to Buttock 5 second hold X 3 reps
Hip Abduction 5 second hold X 3 reps
Squats (using chair for support) X 10 reps
Quadriceps stretch 5 second hold X 5 reps
Knee hugs (really hard on operated side) 5 second hold X 3 reps
Heel Slide X 3 reps
Hip Bridging 5 second hold X 3 reps
External Hip Rotation, let hips drop to the side X 5 reps
Doesn’t look much, but it is really making me feel it the next day, so I’m doing alternate days. Again to ensure no hip flares. Until I see the physio I believe these are my better options in physio exercises.
Can you believe it, it’s Christmas Week!! And part 4 of my Christmas films posts, as we’ve been spoilt this year with some amazing Christmas films.
As it’s really the countdown to the big day, it’s time to share some real favourites.
Noelle on Disney+ Santa’s daughter must take over the family business when her father retires and her brother, who is supposed to inherit the Santa role, gets cold feet.
I love LOVE this film, such a feel good film, with plenty of humour, and awwww moments.
Office Christmas Party on Netflix, When his uptight CEO sister threatens to shut down his branch, the branch manager throws an epic Christmas party in order to land a big client and save the day, but the party gets way out of hand.
I needed this, a bit daft and totally wild. Perfect weekend movie, to forget your troubles.
Single All The Way on Netflix, Desperate to avoid his family’s judgment about being single, Peter persuades best friend Nick to pose as his boyfriend on a trip home for the holidays.
Heart warming, beautifully made and feel good movie, exactly what you need at Christmas.
Click & Collect on Netflix, is a British comedy television film directed by Ben Palmer, written by Joe Tucker and Lloyd Woolf, and starring Asim Chaudhry and Stephen Merchant
Another funny film, gives you all the feels you need this season. Wonderful being so British. Sarcasm galore!!
Absolutely loved watching all these and finding some new films to us. You don’t have to be a fan of Christmas to enjoy these films either, they are enjoyable anytime of year.
