April Glimmers ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

Welcome to my monthly roundup of glimmers, where I highlight all the lovely small and big things that happen to me each month!

Like a lot of people on here, I feel like April was some kind of mini hibernation month, where things have been whizzing by me without me even blinking an eye, and now it’s May!! (My birth month and arguably the best month of the year)

Without further ado- here are my April glimmers! :3

---

• I chose my outfit for my graduation in a few months after MUCH deliberation- eek!

• I saw a show at my local theatre, it was really lovely and something I’ll definitely do more of!

• I chaperoned a prom!!! I didn’t get to go to my own prom, and this felt really lovely to show up as an adult and help, it was very wholesome

• Got some orders on my online store :,) made lots of keychains and bookmarks this month!

• Bought myself Tomodachi Life and have been LOVING IT !!

• It’s been so sunny recently and I even walked to the end of my street (again!) which is hard for me but I enjoyed it

• Have reconnected with my friends from Uni again and I’ve been feeling really grateful, feels nice to actually get texts in your phone and stuff !!

• Watched one of my favourite films and had a frozen casserole

• Made a friend at my local cafe where I have been writing my dissertation

• Said new friend gave me 2 free drinks which was super lovely because I’ve been coming by so often !!

• Been on a buying ban recently where I’ve been trying to only get essential stuff because I was finding myself spending money when I was stressed. It’s really changed the way I cope with stuff!

• Got back into polymer clay which I used to love as a kid

• Took a week off work sick, and whilst I feel slightly guilty about it I know it was the right decision for me and I’m really glad I did it!

• Went away on a writing retreat to finish off my dissertation, and it was so lovely to be in a new place!

• Went to my local pet store and watched the fish for a while, I love seeing all the different kinds!

• Decided to get a desk for my room- which means I can start my shrimp tank !!!

• Tried out gouache paint again for the first time in years, it was a little bit tricky but overall I liked the layering process

• Got myself some new books (essentials) for after I finish my dissertation, after months of reading a lot of stuff because I have to now I finally get to read things I want!

• Sang with a friend whilst he played guitar

• Shared some meals with friends, and I got cooked for twice which never usually happens!

• Been making a more conscious decision to eat healthier, and I am definitely feeling better for it

• Sat by the duck pond with my true love for a little while :)

• Sorted out even more of my clothes to take to the charity shop, feels good to condense my wardrobe even more

• Enrolled for my graduation!! Can’t believe I’ll have a degree in a few months time

• Stumbled upon a little stall trading vegetable seeds, it looked super interesting

• Played a fun game at work where you had to flip a chicken, I had a lot of fun!

• Went up to a new dose on my pills, and the side effects haven’t been too too bad

• Got back into journaling after a looooong period off!

• Managed to get a sound system up and running for an event even though I’ve only done it once or twice

• I FINISHED MY DISSERTATION!!!! 🎊🎊🎊

Woop Woop!! Well there you have it! April summed up into a lovely little list of glimmers. I wanted to leave the finishing my dissertation bit to the end, because it’s the thing I’m most proud of this month and because I just can’t wait to hand it in this coming week!

I hope your Aprils were not so full of showers, and I am wishing you all the springy sunshine vibes for May, friends

Sonnet 🌸☀️🍠
