October felt like a little sprint and a big exhale all at once.
As we marked our first year of She Shares, we found ourselves looking back not in a "look at us, we’re doing so well" kind of way (we promise we will stop going on about it) but in a "wow, you are all amazing" kind of way.
Look at us reflecting; how grown up! But let’s be honest, we probably won’t have time for that for another five years.
What Kept Our Vibe Up This Month
Celebrity Traitors
Guilty pleasure turned ritual. This show gave us more than we could have hoped for. It was top TV viewing, featuring Alan Carr's hilarity (we probably relate to his facial expressions more than anything), plus maybe the worst set of 'faithfuls'. It was frustratingly entertaining.
Sarah has joined the dry robe 'ahem' club—her words! To be honest, Katja wants one now. The rain seems to be a daily friend here in the UK, so we're here for anything that keeps us warm and dry.
Those single-use sachets saved us. Sleepless nights were an unwanted theme this month, so those little cooling beauties were amazing!
Well, everything! This gorgeous company gifted us some hand creams for our first birthday, which we fell in love with. Subsequently, we went crazy online shopping. Their pillow mist and calm balm are now firm favourites.
Taylor Swift
Whether you’re a die-hard Swiftie or a take-it-or-leave-it kind of fan, no one can deny this woman deserves a clap. She’s talented and hardworking, and we have so much respect for that.
What We’re Eyeing for November
Upcoming Shows
We are finishing Riot Women, a funny yet raw drama about 'midlife' women forming a punk band. The best bit? It resonates with something real: female friendship and change. We feel seen.
We are also currently planning where we can fit Nobody Wants This into our binge-watching schedule.
And let’s not forget Stranger Things, Season 5—the final series is launching this month. We're not sure if we're excited or sad, but it has been a fun journey.
Cozy Reading
We will also be snuggling down with an OLIV candle, a cosy blanket, and diving into some of these new releases:
Always Remember by Charlie Mackesy: A new book from the author of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.
Nobody's Girl by Virginia Roberts Giuffre: A memoir about surviving abuse and fighting for justice. This definitely deserves a mention.
Brimstone by Callie Hart: If you enjoy jumping into different worlds with magical mysteries, this sequel to Quicksilver will already be on your TBR list.
Where We'll Be Visiting...
You may have guessed it...Bramley's store opening in Bath is on our radar. We're excited they're bringing their Botanical Magic to the city, just in time for the cosy, relaxing season. If you're visiting for the Christmas markets, definitely stop in.
Reflecting on October
October brought a little glamour and loads of appreciation. November? We’re leaning into comfort, cosiness, and great conversations, with a few fireworks!
Thanks for being here. For reading. For liking. For sharing. For being you. And for making She Shares possible.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
The She Shares Team
