Spring has sprung here in the UK! Although we know what the weather can be like here; it may suddenly switch back to snow at any moment. Still, we can’t deny that we are entering a new season and a new month – hello there April, you are looking good. It might be because I…

March Favourites 2022 | Podcasts, Perfumes, DIY and More…
“Welcome to Spring!”, she says looking at the snow falling outside her window. We love a bit of global warming to start the season. That’s a lie, we don’t love any bit of global warming. Anyway, enough of focusing on the crippling state of the world and how it consumes my every thought, and let’s…

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.

Worldwide disease, countries on lockdowns, global leaders behaving like toddlers; I didn’t expect this when I wrote my New Year’s Resolutions. As of Thursday 5th November, England (where I live) has gone into…

Seven months down, only five to go. Is anyone else struggling to grasp that concept? I know I am; I still think it’s March a lot of the time… Anyway, let’s not dwell on the fact over half of the year has passed by in a lockdown-induced blur – let’s focus on the good! And…

Lockdown Brain & Writer’s Block | Update
I find it funny how I’ve spent the last few minutes staring at the screen, trying to write about this. Even when writing about writer’s block, I get writer’s block. I would say that COVID lockdown has been the main culprit of my writer’s block, but that would be a lie. When lockdown hit back…

Summer Reading List 2020! | rosie abigail
In the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi, hello there. It’s been a hot minute (well, two weeks) since I last posted, and even longer than that since I’ve had a regular posting schedule. In all honesty, I’ve been burnt out. Work has been spilling over to my personal life, and balancing living with an unknown health…

Meet My Houseplants! | Plant Care, Tips, & Tricks
With my love of floaty skirts and overwhelming need to be the ‘mum friend’, it was eventually going to happen… That’s right folks, I’m what the cool kids are calling a ‘plant mom’. As soon as lockdown hit, I got my first houseplant, and since then my plant habit has slowly been getting out of…
