resuming the craft and filling you in

A summary of what has been going on in my life since January. I have missed blogging so much but I am back, baby. Time to get my head in the game and create some delicious written content for you to enjoy once again. Who wants fresh fashion posts? Or maybe more wellness and mental health posts? I am here either way and firing on all cylinders to get creative this cosy autumn. Let’s go, girl.

blessings and curses of what is or may be

Well, well, well. Haunted by infrequency, here I am once again. Writing escaped me for a long while but now that it’s 2022, I want to get back into it again and explore that side of my creativity. What a year 2021 was. A real test of my patience, strength, faith – the list is […]

Small strokes in unchartered waters: on Easter Sunday, a Spring in bloom & the need for nourishment

Hola hola, it’s me. If you didn’t already know, I don’t have much time to sit and write anymore but I miss writing. I’m now blocking out a daily half an hour to an hour for this so here we are in the midst of that time. So here are some unpublished entries for you […]

year ‘21 of the 21st century

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, […]

endless spirit and lessons from building a business

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. There have been many lessons and while I’m still learning, I thought the business building topic might make for an interesting read. […]

things I learned from ramadan

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 […]

on leading a simpler life at all costs

On the 28th April, I woke up and instantly felt burnt out. Lockdown rock bottom. I am in no way affected by this virus in an overwhelming way; I’m not a key worker, I haven’t had any real symptoms, and my family hasn’t been affected. But I still feel hit by it. As I wrote […]

notes on nurture

I tend to compile blog posts over several days, and the thoughts don’t tend to flow as parallel as they are today. I only just published my last post, so I will schedule this for another day, but I like to add content. So know this was written on the same day, after an inspiring […]

on lockdown and loving life

I didn’t expect lockdown to be this good for my mental health. I never expected to say this either. So yes, as unexpected as it is, I have found lockdown to have given me the time needed to catch up and take stock of the past months. Last summer I was really struggling with my […]

unlocking in lockdown

So how’s lockdown got you? If you’re anything like me, and like your freedom, you’re starting to feel cooped up? To be honest, I have felt like that, a hen forced to stay in a cage. But, towards the end of this week, that feeling has subsided. I’m now pretty much used to this feeling […]
