10 Things I Said WTF to in November / #6
Christmas is incoming...
Welcome to 10 Things I said WTF to, an edition of WTF that will arrive in your inboxes on the last day of each month. It will be a round up of ten things from the ending month that have made me say WTF - all for various reasons, good or bad. Ranging from something minuscule and mundane like a recipe i’m loving, or bigger life issues and chaotic world events. Maybe you’ll discover some new things to try, buy, eat or watch!
Skims x Nadia Lee Cohen Christmas Campaign
When this picture popped up on my Instagram feed I was in awe! I absolutely love all of Nadia Lee Cohen’s work and getting her involved in the Skims Christmas campaign was such a smart idea. If you haven’t seen it yet then I highly recommend going and looking through the whole shoot here. Obsessed with the vintage ski vibe, especially the goggle tan! Perfection.
The Unpredictable Tik Tok Algorithm
So for the past few months I’ve been trying to up my Tik Tok game, which is slowly becoming easier… even though I’m still way too terrified to actually film myself talking to the camera. Anyway, can someone explain to me how the TT algorithm works?! It always seems to be the videos you spend a second on and post at the most random time of day that do the best. I’m always insanely confused when I look back at my engagement / views because it’s SO unpredictable!
How Unhinged Glee is?!
I recently roped my boyfriend into starting Glee from the beginning, because he’s never seen it before. I religiously used to watch it with my mum when I was younger and absolutely loved it. However, everything must have been going completely over my younger self’s head because only now am I realising how completely unhinged this series is. Each episode leaves me visibly cringing with second hand embarrassment at how offensive and awkward it is! I think when I was 13 I truly believed me and Blaine (Daren Criss) were going to end up together.
This Dose of Outfit Inspo

I shamefully spend a lot of time on Tik Tok, and you can end up swiping so many videos away before finding one that actually takes your interest. Well, this outfit round up by @hanselkai drew me in immediately, i’m truly obsessed with every single outfit and already planning on re-creating with my own wardrobe!
Bottoms
I went to see Bottoms a few weeks ago and it was honestly hilarious and has led me to become unhealthily obsessed with Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri’s IRL friendship. Their videos crack me up and I hope they star in something together again in the future because I can’t get enough!! Highly recommend watching for when you just need something feel-good and silly.
We Were Young 2024 Line Up
Even though I’m 25 now I still spend the majority of my time listening to the same music I did when I was 13, so when I saw the first ever WWWY line up a few years ago I literally screamed. Fast forward to now and the 2024 line up has just been released - including my boyfriends band! 13 year old me would be absolutely freaking out that I get to go to Vegas next year and see so many bands I still love, and also see my boyfriend play. Such a full circle moment!
This Trucker Cap!!
I have become quite a fan of a trucker cap these past few months and this one by Kissing Cowboys is iconic!
Takeaway by Angela Hui
After getting back into reading earlier in the year I annoyingly lost my momentum with it again and have been struggling to pick up a book again. I saw ‘Takeaway’ by Angela Hui in a local bookstore and recognised it immediately after seeing someone recommending it on Insta. So I decided to get it and start fresh again with my reading journey - totally loving it so far! I usually way prefer fiction over an auto-biographical style book, but the way this is written makes it feel like a mix of the two even though its all about Hui’s childhood.
This Tik Tok Trend

This Tik Tok trend has been allllll over my FYP and honestly makes me want to weep every time I see a video, too too cute!! Perfect for soppy, hopeless romantic’s.
Timothée Chalamet on SNL
Timothée Chalamet and Boy Genius on Saturday Night Live was already the perfect combination for the chronically online sad girlies. Add a Troye Sivan skit into the mix and they’ve totally cracked the code for one of the best episode’s ever. This made me laugh way too much, Timothée’s impersonation of Troye was spot on, and getting Boy Genius to come out at the end made the whole thing insanely fab!
