I think it’s fair to say 2016 hasn’t been the best year - for me, for some of my good friends, and we could even say that for society, showbusiness, music, arts… Therefore I was very tempted to skip my “N amazing things of 201N”. But then I realized that the fact that this year kind of sucked made focusing on the positive so important, because despite the shit we went through I still have at least 16 things I should be thankful for.
So here we go, one more time.
1. I had the opportunity to travel and visit some amazing places for the first time, like Marrakech or Milan.
2. There was a total baby boom around me and I couldn’t be happier.
3. Got to stay in a Soho House hotel and felt posh, rich, fab and enjoyed every single minute of it.
4. Had all my girls from home reunited in London for a weekend.
5. I went to the Harry Potter play which was so, so, SO WORH IT.
6. My uni friends and I organized a “10 year anniversary trip” and it was as fun as the good old days!
7. Had some amazing visits that made the expat life a bit easier: parents, cousin, friends.
8. I was reunited with one of my favorite people in NYC.
9. Managed to keep an important tradition: Rocky Horror Show always a must on Halloween.
10. Started a podcast, which died not long after... But will hopefully come back to life in the next year.
11. Found myself quite open minded and supportive to different revelations, news and all sorts of shocking information. Thanks youtube, the internet and all the stuff that helps with that!
12. Could enjoy a long summer holiday in Spain which help me had quite a tan and made everyone jealous back in London.
13. Opened some amazing projects at work and got some new and exciting opportunities.
14. Moved in with a bestie and found a home in London.
15. Harry Styles was on the cover of a magazine which included an interview and a million photos of him...what else could I ask for?
16. And finally, and let me say most importantly, we had some additions to the family: our lovely and adorable niece Carmen, and Bimba & Lolo, the cutest puppies anyone could ask for.
Here’s to an amazing 2017! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
