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!
The Bear
Yes I’m late to the party!!! I have no excuses for why it’s taken me so long to watch The Bear but I finally did it, both seasons, in record time. I did start it when it originally came out but watched 5 minutes and I must have had a long day because it was just way too overstimulating. After starting it again, I was hooked, it’s so so good. Definitely deserving of all the hype it received. The character development is so excellent and I am eagerly anticipating the next season. The scene with Richie singing along to Taylor Swift in his car was absolute perfection.
Hosting a Ganni event…
This months biggest WTF is that me and Polly are hosting a Ganni event?! Like WHAT? If you’ve read WTF since the start you’ll know that this was literally on my 2023 vision board, which I looked over recently and thought oh that’ll never happen… it’s almost October and I haven’t been putting as much time into my own socials. But here we are! This is an absolute dream come true, Ganni has been my favourite brand for such a long time so I am ridiculously excited to be working with them on this. Click here for the flyer and I’d love to see you guys there!!
Bloody Mary’s
A few Sunday’s ago I went for brunch with two of my friends and had a bloody mary for the first time in ages… I forgot how insanely good they are!!! So good that they deserve a spot on this list. Literally almost drooling looking at this photo.
Kylie and Timothee
OBSESSED, and I can’t even explain why?! Something about them really works together and I love it, I love the PDA, I love unlikely pairings, it’s a big yes from WTF.
Living “Alone”
So I’ve never lived alone before, but my boyfriend has just been away for two weeks so It’s been my first proper taste of the single gal lifestyle. Before this I’ve always had housemates or family around so rarely had time fully alone. I also coincidentally am looking after my friends’ cat so it’s really giving that rom com energy! In all honesty… I was dreading it, I get so spooked in the dark and any noise I hear at night makes me jump. I overthink everything and worry that someones hiding in my utility room, probably due to the fact we watch so much Criminal Minds and endless horror films. But I’ve actually somehow managed to overcome this, after about day three I felt totally OK. I touched on this in my June edition of 10 Things (#9), after sharing how much my XL Smiley Lamp has helped my fear of the dark, and I honestly still think it has been the saviour. I hope this gives faith to all gals out there who get scared at night!! We can do it.
Uptown Girls
I watched Uptown Girls for the first time the other day and it’s quickly made it’s way onto my favourite films list. I’m a sucker for any early 2000’s girly film with good costume, especially when it’s set in New York. Brittany Murphy is an absolute dream and I already can’t wait to watch it again.
Eating Healthy
So because I absolutely hate exercise I decided I needed to start eating healthier to justify my lack of movement. I definitely don’t eat that bad, I love fruit and veg and am the least picky person ever. However after eating healthy healthy consistently for a few days, I just fucking missed crisps!! and chocolate and croissants. I had pasta for dinner without garlic bread and it was DEPRESSING. What is life without fun food?? Like I do want salad, but I want it with french fries and a full fat coke. So please enjoy this sad picture of me eating salad on the stairs at work on my break, and if you see me walking home with an oven pizza under my arm… no you didn’t.
This Saks Potts Shirt
I am such a lover of striped shirts, and this Saks Potts one may be perfect. Don’t get me wrong, I love shopping, I love wasting all my money on clothes, but I think if I spent almost £300 on a shirt my bank card would spontaneously combust.
Tik Tok 4 Outfit Inspo
I have a whole saved folder on Tik Tok called ‘clothes’ which is just endless and endless fit check videos from girlies with great style!! It’s my new favourite place to find inspo, maybe taking the top spot from Pinterest. I’ll include a few of my current fave videos below…

Blank Street Blueberry Matcha
I finally tried the iced blueberry matcha from Blank Street and it was every bit just as amazing as everyone says it is. I’m so gutted we don’t have a Blank Street in Brighton because I’m counting down the days until I can get one again. Maybe I’ll try recreate it at home, if anyone has any tips LMK!!
