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…

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! I am the average height, average bra size, and average clothing size for a woman in the UK, which obviously means my body type is not reflected in fashion at all. Makes sense, right? Typically, the fashion industry caters towards…

Good Things: Lockdown Edition
Recently, I’ve been looking hard to find the good in things; the silver linings, the positives among the negatives. Why? Well, I’m tired of being sad at the state of the world! That’s not to say I’m ignoring what’s going on, not at all. Just amongst the deaths and politics of our current Coronavirus induced…

April 2020 Favourites | Books, Style, Houseplants, and more!
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. I’ve been struggling to focus, been lacking creativity, and generally have just felt like I have a bee buzzing around my belly,…

Books I’ve Read in Lockdown | Chat & Reviews
I’m now entering week seven of working from home thanks to the coronavirus pandemic (I think? It could be week thirteen-hundred, I’ve lost track of time). I’m an asthmatic, so I was always going to be on isolation and lockdown. Like everyone else in the UK, not being able to go out or see fellow…

My Spring Essentials | 2020
If my hayfever is anything to go by, we are well and truly into Spring! To me, Spring is the season for cleaning and renewal and lists, and that’s given me the inspiration for this post. There are so many things that make me happy about the turn of the season, and there are some…

Things I Want to Do When This Is All Over | rosie abigail
This, of course, being the Coronavirus pandemic. However much I am an optimist, I know things won’t ever fully go back to normal, or the normal we were accustomed to. And the world won’t suddenly snap back into working full speed again; it’ll be a delayed return, just like they are doing in Wuhan now.…
