Two friends, many dizis, and an accidental Christmas special. 🎄✨
This week Eda and Maha start with what they’ve been watching, then wander happily into colors, words, creativity, and cozy holiday traditions.
What we watched this week
Halef Uzak Şehir Go Türkiye series: An Istanbul Story Kıskanmak
Uzak Şehir Go Türkiye series: An Istanbul Story Veliaht Güller ve Günahlar
We talk about what’s working (and not working) in these shows, how our expectations are changing as viewers, and why some dizis keep pulling us back even when they drive us crazy.
From there, we go full “seasonal special” with some current cultural obsessions:
Pantone picking Cloud Dancer (white) as Color of the Year
Dictionary.com choosing “6–7” as Word of the Yea
Maha’s experience at a“Bedazzling” book event and how using our hands (crafts, making things, handwriting) can quietly feed our creativity
Eda's thoughts on Christmas as a non-Christmas person – not celebrating it religiously as Muslims, but still loving the lights, decorations, and the shared joy of the season
Maha's thoughts on Christmas as someone who celebrates it and what makes it so special
And of course, we had to end with comfort Christmas movies:
-The Holiday -The Holdovers -The Chronicles of Narnia -The Muppet Christmas Carol -How the Grinch Stole Christmas
-While You Were Sleeping -Home Alone -Miracle on 34th Street -Mickey’s Christmas Carol
-The Chronicles of Narnia
Cozy chats, light dizi spoilers, and lots of inspiration for what to watch next. 🎧
