life in london | back to my 9-5 job, rainy winter days, new books & cooking soup

hallo babes! I've returned to my 9-5 job and everyday life in london after my holiday - lowkey loving having a routine again! the monday of months aka january has fully settled in, with lots of cold and rainy days setting a slower pace, so i’ve been leaning into cosy routines to make it all feel a bit softer. I've also been cooking a lot of soup, starting new books, journaling, and taking care of my (very dry) skin. returning to my life in london and working again hasn't been easy, but these small, comforting moments have been helping me find my rhythm again. hope you enjoy this calm winter vlog x my substack: https://johannahelena.substack.com/ things mentioned: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/43786... 00:00 bircher muesli + my journal 03:02 handheld blender quest 04:51 slow afternoon 06:23 butternut squash soup 08:23 morning skincare routine 09:22 new books 11:16 sunny lunch walk 12:31 feta lentil scramble 13:36 evening at home 14:03 new led mask 15:46 I failed and started again 17:12 yogurt biscuit cheesecake 18:21 special shoreditch trip 19:39 hand pulled noodles
