Happy New Year! Here are some of the things we all need to get us through the special month of January…

Faber Diary. A week to view, every page has a poem on it. A lovely way of finding new writers and poets to explore!

The Inspiration Journal. With prompts and suggestions on what to do and how to feel inspired, this diary is a fun way of engaging with your imagination.

A Liberty Print notebook. All good ideas need a beautiful place to start!

Getting through the To Be Read pile. Here are some I’ve been hoarding for some time and I can’t wait to start. ‘A Winter Book’ by Moomin creator Tove Jansson.

Philip Roth: Goodbye Columbus and Five Short Stories.

Karen Joy Fowler: We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves.

Houseplants! Bring some life and scent into your home with something green. Hyacinths lead our noses to the spring.

Selfcare: Skincare. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Overnight Cream. For super soft skin, this gentle moisturiser is the perfect choice for sensitive skin.

Selfcare for hair: a new hairbrush to condition your locks for when you are feeling down about the fact that it is still dark at 3.30pm.
