Hello, 2016!

Well, we are truly getting started with 2016 and I’ve been MIA from my little blog.  It was an unexpected little break but let’s be honest, it was probably in the cards…! New YearsSo, how were your holidays? How was your New Year’s?

Mine was super rock and roll.  I was actually in bed and fast asleep 15 minutes after the ball dropped in NYC.  Told you, I was definitely living it up that night! HA

I’m quite glad to say goodbye to 2015.  It was not the easiest of years, it was quite difficult to be honest, and some of that is still carrying over to this new year.  But I feel like I’m on the mend, on the path to becoming emotionally and mentally stronger.  I still have my days where I just want to run away from the world, but unfortunately your thoughts always come along for the ride!

I wish I knew for certain 2016 is going to be a great year, according to them horoscopes, this is my year! But all I can do is take it one day at a time.  And to let go.  Let it all go.

Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back.  Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need.  Paulo Coelho

What do I have planned for this year?  I’m not really one to make resolutions or goals.  I’ll carry on being fit and going to the gym, although I will increase the number of times I work out a week and I’ll be looking to cut gluten, sugar and carbs from my diet until I get back into my jeans, comfortably, that is!  The only thing I have definitively planned is to get LASIK.  I’ve booked my eye assessment exam for mid-February and hopefully my eyes are treatable.  If so, then hello perfect vision!! I am most tired of being blind as a bat and would love to say goodbye to contacts forever!

As for this blog, let’s see how it goes…! I’ve got loads of posts coming up from my trip to London and some from my time back at home.  So, I hope you stick around!! I definitely look forward to see what you lovelies are up to!

xx

Always looking for the next adventure; the next thrill. One day she will find home, most likely where she started off. But even then that's a convoluted answer!

Hi, I’m Julie

Hi, I’m Julie

Welcome to Jewels Wandering! I'm a serial expatter. Wait, is that even a word? I have been moving from one country to another since I was born, having most recently moved back to New York City from Singapore. We all have a story to tell and mine has definitely been an unconventional one. Let's be friends!

Peace out, 2021! 

It wasn’t the greatest year, but it also wasn’t the worst. But I’m glad for this year and it was the year I needed to get back into my own skin and rise! 

Tell me what the best part of 2021 was for you! 

Happy New Years! May 2022 bring you all the love, success and good health! 🤍✨🤍✨

It’s Christmas week! What is everyone up to? I’ll be staying put in NYC with some very low key celebrations. In all honesty, I haven’t really gotten into the festive spirit this year. Do you go all out for the holidays?

Happy December from Key West! It’s been a minute but as the darkness envelopes us earlier in the day, it’s easy to feel out of sync. I must admit, it’s thrown me off and I’m ready to sleep come 7pm but it’s dinner time! So if you’re in Key West, I’d tell you to go have dinner at Blue Heaven which is just off Duval Street. You’ll love it! And if you don’t, then next dinner on me 😉

Manatees and turquoise colored houses, oh my! Love the cheerful colored houses in Key West, it’s a stark contrast from the brick and glass that is NYC! Key West was so fun to walk around and get lost in, my head was like on a swivel trying to catch every detail. Take me back! Have you been?

Welcome to my home. Thought I’d give you a sneak peek! Just kidding, it’s an art gallery/home goods store in Key West that I fell in love with! Unfortunately it was closed at that time and it’s appointment only in the summer. Can you see yourself lounging here? If you’re in Key West, go check them out and report back! ☺️ Where’s your favorite store/gallery?
