Old Celine, Cultural Appropriation, Bangladesh Clothing Factories.
Hello everyone!
This past week seems to have been full of deleting Black Friday deal emails. The influx of them has actually put me off shopping. Not ideal when we are so close to Christmas! Saying that I’m looking forward to Christmas this year. I bought a Danish advent candle (before I got bored of shopping!) it’s for lighting a few hours every day from the 1st to the 24th of December. It really ramps up the Christmas mood! I first received one as a gift from my husband when he got stuck in Denmark in the run up to Christmas one year because of snow in London. Disclaimer: he made it home!
