Celebrating the not-so-small stuff | Rosie Abigail
This is going to be a different post. I won’t be chatting about chronic illness, or culture, or lifestyle today. Overall, I only really have one thing to say today – thank you. I know a lot of people post big ‘thank you’ messages when they are about to take a break or announce the…

How the ‘Sunday Reset’ trend changed my life (+ routine)
Is Sunday now the best day of the week thanks to the Sunday Reset? It might very well be. I am not exaggerating when I say that introducing a Sunday Reset to my week has changed my life.

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…

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…

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…

May Favourites 2022 | Books, Style, and … COVID?
Well, this post is a little late. I guess that’s what happens when you get COVID… I’m on the road to recovery now, but at the very end of May, COVID hit me for the second time. And this time was bad. We had the paramedics out for my asthma, oxygen monitoring for a week,…

Owning Your Introversion | Rosie Abigail
“How’s your meter?” What, my meter reading? Well, it’s pretty damn high thanks to this inept government. “No, your social meter, you silly soul.” Oh. Yeah. That thing. That’s a glimpse of a conversation I have with my partner, almost daily. My social meter is slang for how I’m feeling mentally and socially. Each time,…

Talking to Your Boss About Chronic Illness | Rosie Abigail
I won’t sugar-coat it, living with a chronic illness can be ruddy hard. And I mean beyond the actual chronic or condition part of it. I’m talking about the expectations and understanding of other people. Speaking from experience, that’s a different kind of struggle. So many people in the world do not understand (or choose…
