I’ve just realized I have posted anything in 202 I’ve just realized I have posted anything in 2021 so far. Since September I’ve taken a step back from Instagram. I was no longer in love with what I was creating/ talking about and just needed some time to discover who I am. I’ve changed so much in the past 2 years and I’m learning how to grow more into myself *cringe fest hello*. Since there is literally nothing to do and nowhere to go but inwards, I’ve tried to work on myself. I’ve noticed some patterns impact many aspects of my life and I just need to do something about it. To be completely honest, some days are fricking hard which is also why I took a step back from posting much. I just had nothing to say that was positive and though I am all for being completely honest, it would have turned into something too negative for my liking. So from now on I’m going to put less pressure on myself to post super regularly but rather live, grow and share with you whenever I feel comfortable about it. Thanks so much to those who’ve stuck around, it means a lot 🤍
What a year 2020 has been... I feel like this phot What a year 2020 has been... I feel like this photo really captures my mood on this last day of the year. 
I’m leaving 2020 hoping not to have to look back on it too much. I’ve done that quite a lot in the past few months already. So much happened this year and at the same time it felt like everything was the same? Excitement, illness, choc, fear, lockdown, illness, loss, more illness, more stress, solitude, mental health, despair, breakdowns, therapy, growth,...
I always try to end the year thinking about everything I’m proud of or learnt that year. This year... it was a challenge. But I’ve tried to only think positively even when honestly it was hard to find a good reason why something happened. 
My next video will be all about what I learned in 2020 and what I’m planning on working on in 2021. I’m going to do it differently this year...
Now I’m going to pop down on the couch, journal on this final day of the year and then play some board game with my boyfriend, eat our heart out and continue watching Criminal Minds because we’re obsessed 😂
Love, Gaby 🤍🤍🤍
P.S. See you next year 😉 (I had to)
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about happiness. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about happiness. For the past few weeks, I’ve slowly started to feel like myself again. I’ve felt motivated to work towards my goals, inspired to start new creative projects, more positive and hopeful and found myself living in the moment more and more. I’ve realized that in many small moments I’ve felt happy. There wasn’t any huge change, no travel, no great discovery. Just moments when i felt content: Playing a board game with my boyfriend; cry laughing on Skype with my sister; looking at Snaps of our puppy my sister sends me on Snapchat; baking a cake and having  a slice (or two) for breakfast the next day; watching a YouTube video that makes me feel good, calm and inspired; listening to Folklore/Evermore whilst cooking, cleaning, creating moodboards; watching huge snowflakes fall from the sky on a snowy night... 
It’s in the small moments that I stop and just feel. Feel grateful to be recovering, thankful for my family and my partner, and hopeful for the future.
The fact that I’m preparing this post whilst sti The fact that I’m preparing this post whilst still in bed can only mean that it’s SO COLD this morning that I don’t know if and how I’ll ever be able to get out from under the covers 😳 But I have a lot to get done today so... motivation, come on... let’s get cracking 🤦🏻‍♀️
Another 22 days gone without me posting. To be com Another 22 days gone without me posting. To be completely honest with you guys, I’m still putting the pieces of myself back together. Working on improving my mental health through therapy and a lot of introspection, creating new habits and figuring things out as I go. I’m just realizing how much the last 2 years (and 2020...) have changed me and made me realize that my interests and priorities have shifted. So I didn’t feel like posting for a long time. I’m going to try to be more consistent but if I do i want to do it for me and not for the algorithm. It has to be something that makes me happy and not stresses me out. Something I’ve really had to understand recently is that you don’t have to force yourself to do things if it’s detrimental for you. But enough about me, how have YOU been doing? How’s your mental health? How’s the pandemic going nearby you? Tell me everything in the comments 💛
Baby Honey 🐶 Day 4 of lockdown here in France a Baby Honey 🐶 Day 4 of lockdown here in France and I am already losing count 🙈 I also struggle to know which day it is. The only constant thing is how crazy excited Honey is when he sees us every morning 🧡 this little white bundle of fluff doesn’t know what’s happening in the world and wasn’t born to experience Lockdown the First so it’s quite refreshing to see someone only care about cuddles, toys and walks 😂 Hope everyone is doing well and taking care of themselves 🤍
So that’s it, we are on a national lockdown agai So that’s it, we are on a national lockdown again. After weeks and months of hoping it wouldn’t happen again, there we are. It’s for the best as the number of cases were starting to get seriously too high. Let’s hope my mental health will be better this time 🙃 my therapist is going to hear from me a lot 😂
Views from an Autumn walk 🍁 I find walks during Views from an Autumn walk 🍁 I find walks during this season to be so calming. I think it’s the colors, the autumnal shades and the crunch of the fallen leaves under my feet that make my heart sing. What’s your favorite things about this season?
If there is something I’ve learned in the past f If there is something I’ve learned in the past few weeks is that being productive doesn’t mean working 24/7. It means balance. It means knowing the time during the day when you are feeling energized and the moments when you could take a break to recharge by going on a walk, reading, calling a friend. And as I’m slowly feeling better and getting back into work mode, I’m keeping that in mind. Learning to rely on what my body tells me to be able to tell when to push and when to stop and rest.

Well I guess I’m back? Sorry for the false alarm Well I guess I’m back? Sorry for the false alarm a couple weeks ago, I realized I just wasn’t ready and wasn’t feeling good enough. I think I’m better now, now fully myself but better is fine for now! My sister took these shots during our big summer photoshoot and I knew when I edited it that it would be perfect for Fall! I love how it all looks. It’s so weird to think back of August and realize this photoshoot was TWO MONTHS ago?! How crazy. So much has happened since. What a year 2020 is... 
How have you been doing my babes? Struggling? Thriving? Going along with the flow? Let me know! 💛
