How to Advocate for Yourself at the Doctor | Chronic Illness | rosie abigail
Every person I know who has a chronic illness or a disability has not been listened to by their doctors.

Top 10 Classic Novels to Read If You *Hate* Reading the Classics
Another day, another blog post to rip up the classics (metaphorically of course, I’m not a monster). Whilst I love reading, classic novels are not really my thing.

September Favourites | Autumn Style, Home, Podcasts and more!
Catch me writing this post horizontally from my sofa (you can imagine the power of the double chins right now). I am tired. September was a whirlwind.

Literary Girl Summer | Top Five Books on My Summer Reading List 2021
Is it over? The random spate of 30 degree heat that brought the country to a standstill? Oh I hope so. I am not built for the heat; I am built for cosy jumpers and rainy evenings and days where there’s limited under-boob sweat. Still, there is one plus side that comes with a British…

Where On Earth Have I Been? | Accidental Blogging Break
To quote Obi-Wan Kenobi, ‘hello there’. It’s your friendly neighbourhood Rosie, back from two months away. Simply put, whoooooooops… I didn’t plan to be gone this long.
