This should be my last ‘best of 2023’ post but I thought I’d also make my 2023 Favourites. I did one for my 2022 Favourites / Best Purchases. Most of my 2022 faves still stand but I did discover some goodies in 2023.

Best of 2023
I’ve done a post like this for the past 2 years so I thought I’d continue it like a yearly tradition. It’s a great way to look back on the year and 2023 was the biggest and best one so far. Last year was huge for me. So many things happened and things ticked off that I can’t believe I got to experience all of it.

My top 2023 books
Exactly this time last year I shared my 2022 reads. I’ve been sharing a roundup of the books I’ve read since 2020 and I thought I’d also share what I read in 2023.

Mid-year recap and update
It’s been quite hectic since my last blog post. It feels like so much has happened already and I wanted to get this post done as another update as we head to the middle of this year. It’s also a place for me to store the great memories from the past few months before I go on my overseas adventure. This is like a wrap up of the first half of 2023 for me and I’m hoping the second half is even much better!

2023 so far…
I had every intention of writing a blog post at the start of the year. I started it but it sat in my drafts because life got in the way. Probably like most people, I started the year quite hopeful and I was ready to have a great year. I even made a 2023 mood/vision board! I was so excited for this year as I had some fun things planned but instead, the first 2 and a half months of this year has thrown me quite a few curveballs. What a rollercoaster it has been already and it’s only March! So while I’m currently sick with Covid and had some time to rest and think, I finally finished this blog post, although it’s quite different to what I initially thought I’d post.

Best of 2022
The start of a new year is usually a reflective time for people. It’s even more so for me as my birthday is only a few days after New Years day. During this holiday break, I had some time to reflect on the past year and also set some goals / intentions for 2023. In my oversharing self here on my little part of the internet, I thought I’d share my 2022 highlights.

My Top 2022 Books
In 2020, I rediscovered my love of reading and ever since then I have read consistently throughout the year. It has been one of my favourite things to do to unwind and relax. Last year was a big reading year for me and I want to share my top reads and the books that stood out to me.

2022 Favourites / Best Purchases
It’s almost the end of the year so I thought I’d share my favourite things and best purchases. I was also prompted by questions on my Instagram asking if I recommend something and any gift ideas. This post can be a gift guide in a way, for someone who likes fashion and beauty like me. 🙂

Melbourne 2022
Going overseas this year wasn’t really in the plans but when the opportunity came up to go to Melbourne for a week, I didn’t hesitate. This was my first overseas trip since the pandemic started. This was also the last city I went to before the world locked down and NZ borders closed. I was quite excited to leave the country after 3 years and of course I had to document it.

A weekend in Kirikiriroa / Hamilton
Last month we ended up staying in Kirikiriroa. It’s been a while since I’ve been this city so when Max had to be here, I ended up tagging along. The weather was nice and sunny and I had a great time exploring. We checked out the Hamilton Gardens, had an amazing dinner out and then I walked around town and even did a spot of opshopping. 🙂
