What I Learnt in 2019 | rosie abigail

Like every year, humans congregate to celebrate the Earth going around one full orbit successfully, and 2019 was no different. Good job Earth, have a round of applause (clapclapclap)! I have never been one to celebrate New Year’s Eve in the full sense of the event; I’ve tried nights out and house parties, but have…

Hygge Season | rosie abigail

In my world, Hygge Season is officially here! And it turns out, I was all about hygge before I even knew what it was… To give you some background, hygge (pronounced hyoo-guh) is a Danish word that can’t simply be translated into English. But then, it is more than just a word. It’s a concept…

The Lazy Gal’s Skin Care Routine | rosie abigail

I’ll put it out there – I love skin care. I always feel relaxed and refreshed and pampered after giving my skin a good cleanse. But I’ll also be honest; I’m pretty lazy. I used to pretend that skin care was one of the things I was faaaaar too busy to do, as I was…

Becoming the Woman I Want to Be | rosie abigail

This is me; Rosie Lewis, blogger, theatre maker, over-thinker, allergic to nuts, has a tendency to fall over. In all honesty, I quite like the woman I’ve become. She’s intelligent, creative, kind-hearted, and loyal. She’s a great cook, can sing you a nice song, and will offer to proofread your essays. The woman I’ve become…

Real Self-Care | rosie abigail

When I think of the term ‘self-care’, my mind conjures up images of bath bombs, lavender, wine, blankets, and television. In fact, if I have a self-care evening, it tends to go something like this; jumping into a hot, bubbly bath, applying a face mask, and cleansing my face within an inch of its life;…
