I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and thank you so much for subscribing🥹🫶🏻
I fear I may be very boring because I absolutely love the classic 70% (not too milky and not too bitter for dark chocolate) But I equally love the hazelnut praline and mint flavours! What about you?
I have the 50%! I love the 70% one as well though, I can’t handle anything overly sweet. I’ve seen that they’ve got mince pie flavour for xmas and I’ve never tried a flavoured one before so I might pick that up this year 😋
October is definitely the dream girl of autumn, isn't she?! I was away for two weeks of it, though, so I'm excited to thoroughly overdo it in November instead 😏
Thanks so much for reading, enjoying and sharing my piece, Abigail! As a perennial older sister and Eldest Daughter, I couldn't not say something amidst all the scared-worried-anxious pieces from twenty-somethings that I was reading. I wish someone had told me all of this when I was where you are. It only gets better, I promise ❤️
Michelle, I can’t tell you how much your comment means to me🥺 I’m so grateful I came across you and your work! It’s definitely a challenging period in life but you really have a way of writing such thoughtful, poetic pieces that are comforting❤️
Autumn is the time to thrive, absolutely! Give me all the autumnal activities because I’m here for it🥰
Ohhh thank you so much for including me in this piece 😭 What a lovely read!!
I totally know what you mean about soup and cooking this time of year. Every Sunday I make a different soup that we freeze then reheat and take to work in a Thermos for lunch throughout the week. It's cheap, has taken the stress out of prepping lunch, and it fills my cup to make a hearty soup <3
I loved this sm and THANK YOU FOR THE SWEET MENTION!! I’m so so glad the Romanticising Life piece touched you and you felt resonated with it 🥹 sending you a big hug <3
aww Halima, I'm sending you a hug too! Your Substack really found me at a time I needed it, I can't wait to read more of your work ❤️ Thank you for the love!
Abigail!!! Thank you so much for the mention. <3 <3 <3 I'm sorry it took me forever to see this, I've been kind of a hermit since the election. I'm so happy to see you sharing these kinds of posts. 🥰
It's so funny you said that about the hot chocolate too because this week was when I started thinking "you know what, I think I'm officially declaring it hot chocolate season" 😄
No worries at all. I totally understand! You've been in my thoughts, and I'm so sad for you and many others who didn't get the result they wanted (and a result that was needed). And thank you!! I've really loved seeing others, especially yours🥰 I hope brought even a little happiness
Absolutely! It really is the season for hot chocolate and nothing perks me up after a long, cold day like them❤️ I can't wait to start writing more of these; they're a refreshing change of pace!
THANK YOU SO MUCH ABIGAIL!! I am so touched by your comments, and in such good company too!
Also, I am 100% a velvetiser stan. I am going to make a hot chocolate immediately. Which is your favourite flavour?

Soup does not receive the amount of love it deserves; it’s underrated!
Wow thank you so much for sharing ❤️ what a lovely piece
