Y’all… why is February already flying?!

This was supposed to go up at the beginning of the month, but clearly that did not happen 😂 So here is my January recap — but this time from England!!!

I took a trip across the pond to visit my brother and sister-in-law in Harrogate, a charming town near Leeds in North Yorkshire. Think cobblestone streets, cozy cafés, constant rain, and the kind of calm that makes you slow way down (maybe a little too much cause the rain lol ).

I went into this trip with one simple intention: to be present. For the first time ever, I traveled without social media — no posting, no pressure, no overthinking. And not to be dramatic but it was quite life changing! 

I captured moments just because they felt meaningful, not because they needed to be shared. I even pulled out my vlog camera for the first time in… we won’t say how long and documented parts of the trip just for fun. Which has me wondering — is it time to bring vlogging back? 👀

Anyways, enjoy the few photos I managed to get while hiding my camera under my umbrella.

→ Flick Coffee – Maple sea salt latte (unreal)
→Day trip to Nipon – Where James Herriot actually lived (All Creatures Great & Small)
→York day trip – About 45 minutes away and worth the trip
→Bolton Abby - a historic ruins then drive up to Appletreewick and grab a bite from a 16-century historic pub (Craven Arms Pub) Want to really feel like a local go here!
→Bettys Tea Room – An iconic stop
→M&S – The UK’s version of Target
→Food & coffee – Spice Culture, No.35, Domo, Knoops (the BEST hot chocolate!)
