a SLOW new year start (choosing pleasure over productivity 😌) | Diary of a High Maintenance Londoner

This week didn’t look like the typical new year rush to be productive... it looked like an accidental (deliberate) detour to Selfridges instead of working, dessert and a gossip at Nobu, finding my birthday outfit and gently getting my life together at my own pace. It’s a soft start to the year, a little pre-birthday energy and a reminder that sometimes it’s about choosing slowness without guilt 😇 ___________ 📲 CONNECT WITH ME: Instagram:   / nucchi_   TikTok:   / nucchi_   ___________ ✨ BRANDS & PLACES FEATURED: • Selfridges • Nobu, Portman Square • Nadine Merabi Jumpsuit: https://go.shopmy.us/p-38581592 (my specific jumpsuit is out of stock, but I've linked some other ones that are just as, if not nicer, at the same brand 1. https://go.shopmy.us/p-38581598, 2. https://go.shopmy.us/p-38581588) • Syrup Dispensers: https://go.shopmy.us/p-38581658 • Suri Toothbrush: https://go.shopmy.us/p-26437654 ___________ ⏳ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:17 Breakfast fail 2:03 January is bittersweet 2:28 A Selfridges Detour 5:41 A Nobu Disaster 7:11 New Year, Slow Mood 😮‍💨 7:34 What I'm doing for my birthday 8:37 Birthday Outfit Try-on (Nadine Merabi) 9:56 Off to run errands 10:35 M&S Grocery shop & haul 🥑 12:17 PR & Package Pickup 12:46 Lunch with new M&S finds + Amazon Haul 14:29 Breakfast...
