2023 *No* Year’s Resolutions | Setting Goals for the New Year | Rosie Abigail
We are back baby! Back with a New Year, and back with some more No Year’s Resolutions. Personally, I hate the framing of ~resolutions~ – something that you only resolve to do once the new year starts, and these tend to be tasks with a short lifespan. I’m talking crash diets, immense workout schedules, unreachable…

Year in Review 2022! | Rosie Abigail
Well, 2022 is swirling to an end – can you believe it?! I felt like I blinked in March and suddenly woke up on 28th December being asked ‘what are you doing for New Year’s?’ As a person, I tend to look to the future, to the year ahead. It’s far too easy to get…

Our Folky, DIY-Heavy, Scottish-Welsh Wedding | Rosie Abigail
Blimey, it’s been over three months since I got married and I’ve shared barely anything about it over here! Life gets in the way as it often does and it has in this case. But now, with wedding photos ready and nostalgia for the best day of my life spilling over, it’s time. Let’s delve…

September Favourites 2022 | Second-hand Clothes, Sustainable Skincare and More…
Ooof September has been a wild month and not just in terms of British history and politics. I’ve been in and out of doctor’s surgeries and hospitals, working on the start of a new academic year at my IRL job, and dealing with a leaking roof, a hole in the ceiling, and an out-of-bounds DIY…

Hot Girl Autumn. No, Literally – The Planet is Overheating | Rosie Abigail
Not to be someone to wish away the summer, buuuuut I’m actively wishing away the summer. Some people thrive in this heat; lying out in the sun, making the most of pub gardens, getting that Hot Girl Summer. I’m more of a Soft Girl Autumn type of gal myself. I can’t put my finger on…

My Experience with the Implant | Birth Control | Rosie Abigail
We’re not on about breast implants today; I think my double Ds don’t need any extra help. I’m talking about the implant a la birth control! With the discourse surrounding abortion and birth control as rife as ever, including misinformation, I thought it would be good to share some real life experience, and to talk…

Change is a very good thing… | Rosie Abigail
To quote Obi-Wan Kenobi, “hello there”. To quote myself, “long time, no see, eh?” It’s been a little while since I’ve been in the blogging sphere, a few months in fact. I’m sorry for not heading off with an interim “I’m off!” post or a “see ya in August!” message. You see, I hadn’t planned…

I Am Not Losing Weight For My Wedding Day | Rosie Abigail
I’ve got a chubby belly. Arms that wobble. Thighs thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. And I’m not losing any of it for my wedding. Not that it should be anyone’s business. My body, my rules after all. However, since I got engaged almost two years ago, I’ve felt that pendulum start swinging – one…

Dopamine Dressing: Dressing to Feel Like Me! | Rosie Abigail
Colours, patterns, prints! A splash of pink, yellow, green! Dresses, skirts, crop tops! Don’t mind me, just looking into my wardrobe. If fourteen year old, Blue Banana, Tumblr era Rosie could see me now, she would be so disappointed. Nowadays, as a twenty-something creative mess, I am a huge fan of dopamine dressing. Cue some…
