ANISE

15/02/2026

This Valentine’s Day 💘 was the first full day of 2026 in London without rain and we spent it exactly how we dreamed: at HOME 🏡 enjoying our mortgage baby!!
After 7 years in London, I think I’ve grown a bit disenchanted with what it means to live in this glorious city. But there was a time when I wanted nothing more than to getTF out of NYC and be here. And after a few years of London flatsharing, I again wanted nothing more than to live in this exact building with river views and amenities to the gods - writing just that in my journal back in 2020.
Fast forward to 2026, I haven’t just been living here for 4 years, but now OWN here 🥹.
I don’t share much of my London life because frankly, there’s a lot of it that I’ve started to take for granted. But golly, nothing like an upside down world to help you put things into perspective and recognize how blessed and privigled so many of us truly are.
Wherever you find yourself, and whatever your relationship status, I hope this weekend was full of love and enjoyment for you. Remember, in the words of our number 1️⃣ girl: Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all! ✨💖💃🏾

For many, it’s been a a mixed start to 2026. But amidst all the heaviness, even our small wins (trivial they may seem) are still worth the celebration. Sooooo, that’s why I’m sharing today how thrilled I am to have officially become a 💫YouTube Partner! 🥳🍾😍 In other words, all that weekly vlog posting wasn’t in vain ‘cause bayBeee, we makin monay now honey! 💰💰🤣🤣🤣

No but on a serious note, thanks to those of you who have been so supportive of me on this journey. It’s all of you who watched, subbed, and engaged in the early days (and even still today!) that have made this happen. And while I didn’t get into this game just to get the bag (I got into it to share and show others how they too can make this Italian dream happen), of course to receive this small acknowledgement from YouTube feels wonderful 🥰

And for those of you who haven’t caught on yet, it’s not too late 😉. Whether you’re curious about what it takes to purchase property in Italy 🇮🇹 or what daily life in a Mediterranean coastal town is *really* like- there’s a little something for everyone! Catch me over on YouTube ( 📺 = Anise London 🔗 in bio), and moving forward, I am gonna do my best to share more short-form here as well. ‘Cause I really can’t wait to show you what’s in store for our next chapter of luxe home renovation at the villa! See you all on the coast, very soon! :) 🍋🤌🏾🇮🇹
