Hello...It's Been A While!!!

-


I haven't written in such a long time, and I miss it. I have wanted to come back to writing for a while but I got caught up with my studies (I was studying Creative Writing and Literature on the Open University) and just with life in general.
 I also, honestly, haven't really been sure what I wanted to write about, but I have decided I should just jump back into it and see what happens....especially now that I have done with my studies and not really sure what to do with myself. 

Anyway, now that I am here and writing, let me re-introduce myself a little...

💕 

My name is Johanna.
I am 25, turning 26 in a couple weeks...

Like I mentioned I have just finished with my studies with the Open University- which is an online university- where I studied Creative Writing and Literature. It was a lot of hard work, but I enjoyed it...some times more than others..
I also work part time, currently, in packaging...which is not the most exciting, and I am still trying to decided what I want to do work-wise afterwards. Hard decisions!!

I live in the French-side of Switzerland, with my family.
I love living here, it's such a beautiful place...but it does come with it's struggles.
I am not completely fluent in French, which is a struggle...especially when it comes to work.

I have three siblings-two younger brothers and an older sister.
And I am an Aunt to two gorgeous little girls-a 5 year old and an 8 month old. 
Being an Aunt is one of the best things in my life.
I love watching the two little angels grow up. 
Children really are the best.
I wouldn't trade being an Aunt with anything in the world.

Let's see...
What else can I say about myself??

I like to write and read...
My favorite genre of books is romance but, I guess thanks to studying Literature, I have started to step out and try some other genres now and then but I definitely love a good romance.
I actually have a Book Instagram page. I just haven't posted on it much because I am a bit of a slow reader...but I will definitely be posting on there as much as possible.
My book Instagram is
 @thejoyfulbelle
So, feel free to follow me over there if you want.
And share, with me, some of your favorite books and authors.
I am always looking for new books to read. 

Talking about Instagram...
I also have a Foodie page 
@theislandbaker
where I share all things food...
From snack reviews, places to go out and eat, coffee shops, and my homemade bakes and meals.
Definitely feel free to check me out over there too....

Outside of Instagram...
I love walks around town, shopping, going down to the lake, exploring new places, and hanging out with my boyfriend. 
I have also been trying to write a book...which has been a very very long process and kind of been on a bit of a break from that recently so hopefully I will get myself to get back into that. It would be amazing to actually finish it and perhaps even have it published. 
That would definitely be a dream come true!!

Anyways, 
I'm not sure what else to say right now...
So bye for now...

Avengers: Endgame|| My Thoughts & Ratings 🍿

Not that long ago I would have very quickly turned down watching this sort of movie because I was so sure I wouldn't be interested in them, and I used to be very particular about the films I liked to watch.But with a lot of pushing from my dad and brother, and comments about movies from one of my best friends, I finally gave in and decided to give them a try. And I for sure had been missing out, even though I haven't seen many of them yet at all. But because of this I now have a lot of movies I need to catch up on, so if anyone is up for a long movie night hit me up!  I haven't seen any of the other Avengers movies, because of my selective choices of movies, so I must admit I was a little lost in some parts of the movie as they referenced the previous movies in this one. But I really enjoyed the movie, and I really need to watch the others. It's always entertaining going to the cinema, but I wasn't expecting to actually enjoy the movie as much as I did. And even t...

Lost In Paris?! - Storytime

I can't remember the year I went to this school, but I went to a school near to where I live which was bilingual. There were students from across Europe but most students were Swiss. I didn't like my main class teacher very much but I am not going to be talking about class. Instead, today, I am going to talk about our school trip to Paris, France. The French class I was in my brother was part of too, which had its positives and negatives, which I also won't go into but our class was small because we were one of the "learning french as foreign students" class. So, for this camp there were about six students and my main class teacher came along too, of course, and my English teacher, which was not the same English teacher as my brother. This trip is actually the first time ever I went to Paris, and so far the only time I have ever been. And the visit did not go very well because a lot went wrong. The whole trip was also done in just two days, as far as I r...

Saving The Stranger| Short Story (Part One)

-
It was a warm spring day and outside the birds were singing. Jessica stood alone in the cold and dim underground station, after spending the Saturday morning shopping, in London, with her friends, and waited for the train to come. The world seemed to be at peace, but Jessica felt strange, as if something bad was about to happen. Something bad. She just couldn't think what it was.  Suddenly, just as the train was pulling in, Jessica saw a flicker of something black to the right side of her. She shrugged, and got onto the packed train.  Surprisingly, she found an empty seat beside a young man, of about twenty. He was wearing a navy blue cap and a black coat, which was strange as it was rather too warm to be wearing a coat. He was reading the Daily Mirror newspaper, and seemed to be very interested in it as he did not look up once. But as she looked at the young man, she was sure she had seen him before. Somehow, he did not look like one of those men that worked in London. He l...
