What I Watched
Hawkeye
Finally, Hawkeye gets his own show, sort of. This is technically more of the Marvel character Hawkeye rather than one specific Hawkeye if you’ve watched the show you’ll understand. Maybe it was just me but I didn’t like Kate Bishop or the actress who played her. I wanted this show to be more about Clint but like I mentioned it’s clearly about Hawkeye. However, I loved all the other new characters introduced in this series and can’t wait to see them in the future in the MCU projects or maybe in a second season…
Summer Camp Island Season 4
A new season of Summer Camp Island was related in December on HBO Max, a complete surprise to me! Not going to lie, I don’t really care for the origin stories of all the characters on the island but I guess it’s nice to have some background on them and why they act the way they do. I hope they have some random storylines in the next season though. If you haven’t watched Summer Camp Island and you enjoy animated series like Adventure Time, do yourself a favor and watch Summer Camp Island, you won’t regret it!
The Great British Baking Show Holidays
Not one but two great British Bake Off specials this year! Did they have two last year? Either way, I’m so thrilled to see old favorites return. I absolutely adored Helena’s crystal ball/alter setup cake and if I don’t get one for my birthday this year I will be disappointed *wink*. I even received her cookbook, The Wicked Baker and can’t wait to bake something from it.
tick, tick…BOOM!
This film tells the story of a theater composer and his struggle of trying to get his first musical signed. As someone who is quickly approaching 30 (next year!), the pressure of trying to get your ish together before turning 30 is strong. I thought this film was fun and I loved all the musical theater cameos in this film.
Aggretsuko (Season 4)
There wasn’t as much aggressive karaoke as in previous seasons but that’s probably a good thing. ?
ENCANTO
I watched this alone on Christmas Day and bawled my eyes out! I related to Mirable so much. Supporting your loved ones but waiting for your moment to shine or wondering if you will ever get your chance to shine. I still get emotional just hearing her song. Anyways, it’s an incredible film and just like every Disney Animation film, it will make you cry. Plus, it has amazingly catchy songs! Think Moana, Tangled, and Coco all combined!
Emily In Paris (Season 2)
The stereotypes are strong in this series. It’s cheesy AF but I enjoy this series probably because of the fashion and that it’s set in a dreamy city, Paris. There is nothing too dramatic and it’s an easy show to watch.

Things I Did
Went to a Christmas Illumination Show
This was a drive-in event. They basically played Christmas songs and we drove around a holiday-themed illumination setup. It was cute and my nephew really enjoyed it.
Decorated Gingerbread Cookies
My older sister baked vegan gingerbread cookies and we decorated them using icing. It was fun to have a happy sister time again. Since my older sister moved it’s been difficult to do things just the three Able Sisters (guess which one I am) so it was nice to hang out like this again.
Dyed My Hair (Twice!)
I’ve been wanting color in my hair for months. Nothing wrong with my black hair but I just prefer some color in my hair. My hairstylist sister bleached my hair first and then added color (a cool-toned blonde) but I didn’t like how bright and light the color turned out so we tried again a few days later to get a darker blonde/brown color. I’m satisfied with the color for now.
What I Bought
SheaMoisture Deep Treatment Masque
I mentioned this masque in a previous post but I finally caved in and bought the full size. After bleaching my hair I thought it would be a good idea to give my hair a proper treatment and this masque just made my hair feel and look healthy after one use! It’s thick but it works wonders!
Lilac Velour Sweatshirt and jogger set
I found this cute lilac-colored velour set and knew that it would be the coziest thing to wear on Christmas morning in. The fit is weird. The joggers are bigger then than I would like and the sweatshirt is cropped weirdly but when worn together it works. *lol* I almost returned this set but I actually like what they look like together.
Things I Love
Moon Lamp
My younger sister gifted me the cutest moon lamp. It’s currently sitting next to me on my desk. I actually did need a desk lamp because my desk is situated in a dark corner and can never see anything I’m doing at my desk like journaling or crocheting. *lol*
American Tourister Pink Suitcase
I’ve never owned my own set of luggage so I asked for some for Christmas. My dad bought me the cutest pink-colored suitcase from American Tourister and I can’t wait to use it next time I travel! And, yes, pretty much all of the ‘things I love’ are my Christmas gifts. ?
Creepers
Because I’m still an emo-kid at heart, I still love the creeper platform shoe. My old pair got ruined in South Korea so I asked for a new pair for Christmas and my older sister listened and bought me a new pair! So happy to have these shoes back in my life. Does anybody still wear/love creepers?
Rainbow Fluorite Tower
My older sister also gifted me a Rainbow Fluorite tower. I love crystal towers so much. My goal this year is to acquire more crystal towers and have them in different spots in my room. My Rainbow Fluorite tower is currently resting in front of my vanity next to my sage bowl.

Goals For Next Month
Answer comments and catch up on blogs
Read at night
I haven’t read in a while and really want to change that. A few years ago, I made it my goal to read 12 books in a year, one for each month. I successfully accomplished this goal! I really want to attempt this goal again for 2022.
Practice piano
I picked up several hobbies in the past 1-2 years and piano was one of them. I was practicing 30 minutes to an hour a day and was really proud of myself for sticking with this hobby until I fell off my piano practice routine so because it’s a new year I want to pick this hobby again. Even if it’s just 15 minutes a day.
