Well, well, well. What a while it has been. Here we are, a fresh new year full of opportunity but we’re fourteen days in and it still feels very much like 2020. Or is that just me? In truth, I have about twenty half-written posts in my drafts, semi-constructed of themes I wanted to explore,…
It has been a wild few months of launching a business from scratch, literally from my bedroom. It has been endless fun, I cannot lie, but it has also been stressful at times.

Below entails my Ramadan diary. I’ve constructed this over the month of fasting. If you’re a regular reader of Kulayrosas, you’ll know I am not a Muslim. You may know that I have many friends who are Muslim and I’ve always tried to be as open minded as possible, and learn from other cultures and…

If you’ve read my last post, you will know that I’m not even slowly losing my mind, but very quickly. I thought therefore, I’d reflect for a few moments and gather together some ideas of how we can pass the time in this season. It’s uncertain and cloudy, and I must insist that other than…
So as I sit here typing, freshly washed and bathed, face mask on and nail varnish drying, I can’t help but feel weird.

Once upon a time, I wanted to be one of those Instagram bloggers. Not a full-blown influencer, but you know, a few more followers and core fashion content full of looks and style ideas.
