MY LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH WINTER

I’m not really a fan of winter, i’ve never been and i’m not sure if i’ll ever be.

My mood is often zig-zaggy, i eat a lot, drink a lot, pee a lot due to excess tea and my knees pay for it as i go up and down the toilet seat. But one thing i sure love about winter is how cool i look, lol. The style is so versatile, so bad ass and colourful if you want it to be. But all i can say is my relationship status with winter is complicated. Below are the reasons why

Layering – I’d like to think i’m getting better with this. When i first came to England i concluded that the people here are zombies because they don’t seem like they ever catch cold. Some with cropped jean, neck and and ears showing, OMG! and there i was miserable, unhappy and hating life coupled with the fact that i dint know how to shop for winter…damn!

So i accepted that this is going to be life, and here we are with me i’m loving winter fashion while hating it. I love to add pop of colour too because most people go for dark colours

Shorter days – Being someone from a very sunny country, i don’t like this but hey, it’s an opportunity for me to either put on my pyjamas early or go to bed. I see it as an opportunity for me to make a do a nothing excuse.

TV SHOW – Maybe it’s just me but i believe there are good tv shows during winter and i like my tv. I watch programmes like, death in paradise, private eyes, Rookie, e.t.c.

I also tend to eat more as well. I think it comes with sitting in front of the t.v and my close friends will tell you, Bose likes her food in winter and boy! i do eat plenty!! I just think the food in winter is better and comforting

SNOW – I don’t like snow. Yes, feel free to fight me. It’s so white i can’t drive, i cant see, it’s slippery and then, it becomes horrible and messy. Ah no, i don’t like it and its not for me. I like to drive easy and walk easy, and i don’t think i’m asking for too much am i?

NO BUGS – I’m dancing, lol. With winter comes no bugs. You know those jets that pretend to be flies? They go buzzzz and in winter there’s none of that.

I do think the flies in England are special breed, they’re huge, daring and confident. So bye bye bugs.

Holiday spirit – Well i don’t know if i love this part or hate it but one thing i can tell you is that i hate the holiday rush. We have halloween, prom, bonfire night and yes we have Christmas and new year.

I mean, Christmas is just 24 hrs but we go on to experience the rush and panic buying which leads to a lot of waste and so on. It drives me crazy
