a cosy introvert's blog
Like me, you may have heard the term "Manifestation" being thrown around a lot. My assumption is that it has something to do with the rise of young people, especially women, following astrology and charts, whilst also making things happen for themselves. Mapping out personalities, guessing our paths in life, and the Universe's plans, is [...]
Most of my days have been pretty chill recently, since in New Zealand we have been in lockdown for 3 weeks! I wanted to talk a bit about it, especially the way we live during this time in comparison to our usual stress-inducing working lives. So, what are some of the lessons we have been [...]
Hello there, fellow readers. This is only my second WWW Wednesday post, and instead of doing it weekly, I will be doing it monthly. Mainly because I feel like I take a break between books; after I finish one series, my head is in that world and I can't instantly start another series. So, a [...]
Recently, I wrote a post about the concept of hygge as a guest on my mum's blog, which you can check out here. This got me thinking about making my own post about what hygge means to me specifically. Just to recap on what the general definition of hygge is for this post... it's a [...]
There are heaps (like, thousands) of posts out there telling us how or how not to be sustainable. It's not a bad thing, but it can be overwhelming at times - because you know you're doing the best you can and yet it seems there is a lot more you could be doing. So this [...]
I say weekend, but honestly I was only in Haast for 1 full day (2 nights). We drove through what is called the Haast pass from Wanaka on Friday evening. I begrudged going after work, in the dark, as it would be a two hour drive and we would end up arriving around 9pm. Plus, [...]
My first WWW Wednesday! I came across this idea last week, thanks to Susan Lyn at Susan Lyn Knits and Reads, and it looked like something I wanted to be a part of. It is hosted by Taking On A World Of Words so check out their post to join in. The Three Ws in [...]
This review might be a couple of months late but here's the thing - I live in rural NZ where the cinemas are a little behind the rest of the world in releasing films (we are behind the world with a lot of things so this isn't surprising). I saw Cruella last week and loved [...]
*No Major Spoilers* I'm on page 128/480. Let me start by saying that I absolutely LOVED A Curse So Dark And Lonely. The characters, the plot, the romance, everything about it. I don't read many re-tellings and I was pleasantly surprised by this one. As usual with books that grab my attention, I couldn't put [...]
Now, I don't know if it's cruel to make a post about this wonderful corner of the world in the midst of a global pandemic, or if it's a kindness in bringing to light such a magical place - somewhere you should put down on your bucket list! I ended up in Wanaka by accident. [...]
