You Should Take a Mental Health Day | Rosie Abigail
This is for the people who have burn out, or have mental health conditions, or are stressed, or who live and breath and sleep and exist, or everyone: start treating your mental health the same as you treat your physical health. I’ve had flare-ups of mental health conditions over the last four years, and that…

Use Your Privilege.
I had scheduled a happy-go-lucky blog post today about small and sustainable changes I’d made in my life. But to post something so light and cheery seemed so disingenuous to me. For those stumbling across this post in the future, or simply those who have not been looking at the news, eight days ago, George…

May 2020 Favourites | Style, Audiobooks, & more!
Just like that, another month of lockdown passes. I swear this month lasted about a week. Or all my weeks blurring into one?… Anyway, all I know is that May is nearly over and June is almost here.

What is Mid-Size? | Style, Fashion, and Body Neutrality
To paraphrase Mary Poppins, ‘I am practically average in every way’ – physically, at least!

Make A Rented House (or Flat) A Home! | Lifestyle & Decor
I imagine there’ll be a few people going “why is she writing about this? I thought she just talked about books and allergies”. Well, let me tell you – I am the queen of making rented accommodation a home. Well, not the queen, but I’m pretty darn skilled at it. From university accommodation to living…

Antidepressants and Me | rosie abigail
Salbutamol and Seretide for asthma, antihistamines and adrenaline for allergies, Codeine and Prednisolone for flare ups, and Sertraline for my brain. More specifically, Sertraline for chronic anxiety and clinical depression. Those are the medications that rattle around in my bag and go with me wherever I go. I’m kind of a package deal – “The…

How to Get Yourself Feeling Creative! | rosie abigail
Anyone else feeling like they are stuck in a creative rut at the moment? Oh, you mean the whole of the world feels the same thanks to a global pandemic? Yeah, I thought so. Being creative is a pretty large part of my life; I run this blog, a theatre company, work on my bullet…

Four days into May and I’m only just talking about my April favourites! I’m sorry it’s taken longer than usual but I’m going to be honest with you; my anxiety has been here.
