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.

What is Endometriosis? | Endometriosis Action Month
March is Endometriosis Action Month. You may vaguely know of the condition. You may recognise the name. You may have absolutely no clue what I am talking about. Well, it’s time to change that. Trigger warning – there will be discussions of periods, blood, fertility, and medication within this post. When discussing Endometriosis (Endo), I…

What Is Chronic Fatigue? | Speaking From Experience | Rosie Abigail
I’m a collector. A collector of symptoms, that is. In my bag, I’ve got wheezing and coughing, sciatica and swelling, anaphylaxis and aches, plus everyone’s favourite; anxiety. Most of my chronic conditions have been with me since birth, or developed once I finished puberty. However, there is a condition that has only been with me…

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…

What *Is* PCOS? | PCOS Awareness Month | Rosie Abigail
How apt is it that I am welcoming PCOS awareness month with a PCOS flare up? It’s like my body has decided to try method acting. Sorry, I’m speaking in acronyms like some eighties businessman – let me clarify what I’m on about. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. A surprisingly common disorder that not a lot of…

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…

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…

Dealing with COVID Health Anxiety | Rosie Abigail
If there is one thing I like to think I am an expert on, it’s being anxious. Okay, it wouldn’t be my Mastermind category (that would be on Walt Disney World, in all honesty), and I’m not an expert in the clinical sense. But with over eight years of anxiety under my belt, I like…
