Dealing with Imposter Syndrome | rosie abigail
“Imposter Syndrome”. I’ve been seeing this phrase pop up all over my social media the past few weeks – “anyone got tips to help deal with imposter syndrome? xo”, “it’s an imposter syndrome kind of day”, “reaaaally feeling out of place at this conference #impostersyndrome”. Every time I see a Tweet or post like that,…

Real Self-Care for Students | rosie abigail
In the land of undergraduate (and postgraduate study), a cold chill has fallen across the kingdom. Assignment titles have been released, all are behind on the reading lists, and even the strongest of students have succumbed to the flu. Stress levels are peaking, and people are forgetting what normal sleeping hours are. Two years on…

My 2019 Vacation Reading List | rosie abigail
I’m so excited, I may actually burst! Alright, that is severe exaggeration but it is kind of close to how I am feeling. At the time of writing, I have only ten days left to go until I travel to Florida for a two week holiday. Whaaaaat?! I still can’t comprehend the fact that I…

Alternative Halloween Ideas | rosie abigail
(I’ve just realised this title makes it sound like I will be discussing emo and indie inspired Halloween plans, which I am unfortunately not – although, I think I am on to something here…). Anyway – It’s spooky time! Time for pumpkin carving, Beetlejuice, mulled cider, and a heck tonne of sweets. It’s also when…

How to Get That ‘Work-Life Balance’ | rosie abigail
It’s fair to say that I am a busy bee. I work full time in Higher Education, run an arts and theatre company on the side, blog throughout the week, am completing a part-time Masters, and trying to maintain strong health and fitness, personal relationships, and not burn out (goodness, even reading that makes my…

September Favourites 2019 | rosie abigail
Finally, we are moving away from the awkward ‘need a jumper in the morning, and shorts in the afternoon’ weather, and into turtleneck season! With September done and gone, I deem Autumn to be well and truly here. Autumn is when I thrive; I’m a rainy day, hot cup of tea, crispy leaves kind of…

Seven Deadly Sins Book Tag | rosie abigail
Last month, I was scrolling through my blog feed and a post immediately caught my eye. I excitedly scrawled down the title in my blog planner, to be saved for another day. Lo and behold, the post was ‘Adventures of a Bibliophile’s’ Seven Deadly Sins Book Tag! I have never done a tag, let alone a…

Switching to Cruelty-Free Beauty & Skin Care | rosie abigail
Look, I’m not the most environmentally friendly person out there; I forget my metal straws, I still use clingfilm, and I simply can’t be vegan because of my allergies (that’s another blog post for another time). But, I am trying to be the best green version of myself I can be (green as in ‘caring…

Women in Writing | rosie abigail
I love women supporting women. I also love books. So it makes sense that I am finally writing about my top books written by women! This post is meant to open people’s eyes to the wonderful world of women writers, when education and academia is full of boring, old, white, male authors talking about the…

New Year, New Bujo! | rosie abigail
Alright, it’s not exactly a new year, but it is a new academic year! Like any bullet journaling fiend, I like to find any excuse to get a new notebook, and I think this is a pretty good excuse. I work in Higher Education, so basically run on the academic clock; it also helps that…
